How soon before the wedding should I...

Remain a stable weight/size? I'm trying to lose 20-25 lbs, and I know they can always take the dress in. But is there a number of months before the wedding that I should strive to reach my goal weight by? Or can they even take it in during the final fitting?

Continue to loose weight as much as you want, but do your best to schedule your last fitting as close to the wedding as possible.

Since your wedding is in June I would try to be at your goal weight by March/April, only because the bridal stores like you to go 6 weeks before the wedding for the first fitting. I had three fittings before I was finished because the dress didn't fit right. If you are going to go for your first fitting I wouldn't try to lose too much between that date and the date of your wedding, it just gets annoying to have them keep taking it in, plus they might charge you.

Good Luck

I agree - just try and lose as much as possible.

I know I was still losing the week of my wedding - I had my last fitting on Friday and got married on Sunday.

Good luck with the weight loss!

Wow! So when exactly is the last and final fitting? 6 weeks for the 1st fitting seems so close to the wedding!! That makes me feel a lot better. I thought I had to get the bulk of my weight off by this July!

Hi Gals,
What are your opinions re: fitting time frame?
My wedding: Oct. Dress is in. Worried about the dress being done too soon. I was thinking May, July & Sept. I am working on toning, but I know a few pounds will drop later with stress.
