Fittings & Weight Loss

I am getting married on 10/30, and I just called to schedule my first fitting. I let them know that I plan to lose weight and am no where near where I want to be (would love to lose 15 more lbs). They told me I need to be at my goal by first fitting, and they would probably only do 2 fittings. !?!?! My alterations are included, but they said any alterations for weight loss after my first fitting I am responsible for. So they scheduled my first fitting late - 9/2 -- eight weeks before I get married (could lose 10 pds in that time).

Are any of you planning on losing until your wedding???? I planned having last fitting about 2 weeks before, and losing up until that point. Isn't it normal to lose up until a couple of weeks before the wedding??? I thought this was normal, but the woman on the phone acted as if I was crazy.

I plan on losing right up to and through my wedding date (OK maybe not the day of)

Maybe see if you can schedule a leter fitting?

The manager where I bought the dress measured me and encouraged me to order the dress in the size I was then. They put a cap on alterations. She said this way there's no pressure to lose weight and she said that they could alter it without a problem.

Maybe it depends on the dress?
