How soon before the wedding did you go for your first fitting?

The salon called me yesterday and my dress is in!! (i'm pretty excited because it came in a lot sooner than expected!) But i dont have my undergarments or my shoes - so i was just wondering how soon everyone did all this and went for their first fitting -

TIA!

you should probably start in Nov- at least I was told to start in Feb, for an April wedding.

Same here. Six weeks before the wedding is about average for the first fitting.

you might want to start a little earlier than that just because of all the holidays

Also everyone says you should go check on the dress - just to make sure it is ok when it comes in

I went about five weeks before. I could have gone sooner though. But it should be ready on time without any problems.

6 weeks for the first, as close as possible within reason for the final.

I have heard about 4-6 weeks but you could still go now and try on your dress. I am sure I would

That is really odd that it is taking that long - although i think they may have put a rush on mine - i realized after i got the message that if i want to see my dress i am going to have to hand over the the balance of the dress - the feeling is going to start setting in now that the weddign is so close
