I went my for first fitting on President's Day, I think Feb 20th and my wedding is march 30th...I think it depends where you go...a lot of girls go much earlier.

LOL - My dress has been in since January - I went to the store and saw her once in order to order my veil.... At the place I have my dress you can only try it on with the seamtress adn she was busy. I stared at her for a while and then left. But I think I am going to go in May. See if I can hold off that long

call and ask the place where you are getting fitted at and see what they recommend. usually you start a couple weeks before your big day and have a couple of fittings between then and the wedding. you are supposed to get it done close to your wedding date so you dont have it altered and then loose/gain weight before your big day. you could probably go try it on, just for fun now, but i definitely would not recommend getting it altered any time soon.

Depends on the store. Mine is crazy-they wanted me in only a month before so I had to tell a white lie -hands head in shame- and tell them my wedding was a month before. I was afraid because when i was doing the try-on of ym dress, another bride was in there frantic because her wedding was that weekend and they still hadnt finished last alterations on her dress (this was a Thursday) and they were not going to b open Friday so she would have had to pick it up on the day of the wedding! Freaked me out but NOW I have to worrry about not gaining weight or losing too much the month before my actual date! So be acreful about the day you choose ladies.

Hey--you're getting married the day after me!

I've had my dress since like January too. I just scheduled my first fitting. They had suggested some time in May, but I'm a bit anal and like to have things done ahead of time so my first fitting is April 28th. My seamstress told me it should take no more than 6 weeks and if you don't really plan on losing or gaining a significant amount of weight, it wouldn't be a problem.
