Regarding Fittings..... Is this right?

I was just told that I would only have two fittings;
1st one - 2 month before the wedding
2nd (last fitting) 4-3 weeks before the wedding.

Is this right????? I always tought you have your last fitting a week before? So I was also told that if I need more fittings, i should find a good seamstress...

HELP!!

i think that sounds right bec what if the week of it needs something else done? then you are sooo stressed out!

i dont like how you were told to go find a good seamstress tho....

I'm not sure how many fittings I'm going to have. I had one a few weeks ago and am going back next week for the next one. I think I'll space the next one further out.

I wound up bringing my dress to Madame Paulette in the city. That's where the designer suggested I go. Their price depends upon what work you actually need. They also charge $150 to press and spot clean the dress.

My sis just had her 3rd fitting. She keeps losing weight and they keep having to take it in. Her wedding is May 23rd and the seamstress yelled at her to have a bowl of pasta every night or there is nothing she can do.

She is scheduled for her 'last' fitting 2 weeks before the wedding. Granted, at that time everything should be near perfect and all they will need to do is steam the dress for her. Then she picks it up a week before the wedding.

I just don't understand why can I have it 2 or 1 week before.... what's the big deal?

You should have it 2 weeks before just in case. I think it is silly that you only get 2 fittings - what if on your second fitting you are still not happy?

Did they give you any explanation for why you're limited to two fittings and why they've got that timeline? Would that be the same policy if you had purchased from them directly, in the first place, or are they using a differet policy because you ordered through BCM?

You have the first one about 6-8 weeks before and then 2 weeks before and however many you need after that. Believe me it will be fine. I went through all my fittings. ANd some of the alterations they did right there while I waited. These people are professionals and can pump this stuff you so quick so do not panic......if after the first one there are major alterations then schedule the 2nd sooner than 2 weeks before

It should be as many fittings as you need to get the dress right! I had 3!

Also I would have one last fitting 1 week before the wedding to be safe. People always lose weight.

Freakin' BCM!!!! Well, hopefully, since the alterations are being done by the designer, they should get right. They won't want the dress fitting you poorly because it will reflect on them.

I'll let you know how things go with Madame Paulette in case you need additional alterations.
