I have my dress already. It is slightly too small and I'm working on losing weight..about 15-20 lbs before going to a seamstress, BUT When do I contact one? I have 4 months till the wedding and I'm trying to put it off as long as possible?
For those who went to a private seamstress..how soon before the wedding was your first fitting? THANKS!

I used a private seamstress and I started fittings 1 month before the wedding. My dress was hollow-to-hem though so the length was perfect, I only needed the sides taken in and the bustle, and cups.

REALLY? thats great cause thats kinda what I wanted to do. My dress is actually good on length too. It really shouldnt be altered on the bottom anyway due to it being all lace.
I was thinking of calling the seamstress you used. When she I call her?

Who are you guys using for your seamstress? My bm's are going to need someone.

Re: Having a dress altered by a seamstress questions!
My dress was about two sizes to big and seven inches to long so i started alterations about three months before the wedding. I also had her add crystals to my dress so since i didn't want anything rushed i started early and she did an amazing job. You also have to rememeber that they do have other clients so i would say the sooner the better.

I need to take my dress to a seamstress too, as I am not getting it altered where I purchased it. The length is good, I just need the sides and top taken in. Also, 2 of my BM's need an outside seamstress as well.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
