what to bring to first fitting?

I know I have to bring shoes...but what else? and where do I get it?

I'm 5'6 and weigh 115 lbs and am a 32C...should I wear a bra or a corset? or have the cups sewn in? I don't really want to increase size so much...just umm...bring them in for some cleavage lol.

TIA!

Yes def shoes and you should bring the undergarments you want to wear with it. You know your dress do you need a corset? Do you need a bra? Do you need any specific cut of a panty?

I was told to have all that for the first fitting and when my dress came in and went in for my try on the woman came over and let me know what I needed in regards to undergarments. Did they tell you anything?

No they didn't tell me anything at all. My dress should be coming in any week now and I don't want to show up empty handed and get a mean look from the seamstress. Do they normally tell you?

Your undergarments will depend on your dress really. What do you think you'll need to wear underneath? Bring what you think will work best, worse comes to worse you can get something better in time for your next fitting. Blum's in Patchogue is a great place to go to if you need advice as to what undergarments you might need and to make sure whatever you do get is your proper size.

oo ok. If your dress didnt come in yet the first time you go, its usually just for a try on. Its to make sure its the right dress, color and most of all size. At that time they will tell you their suggestions for your bra. You can ask about cups if your interested in them and THEN you go back for actual fittings.

Like my dress came in a few weeks ago, I went tried it on and thats when they recommended what type of bra to get. I dont have my first ACTUAL fitting until June.

OoOoO thanks for clearing that up for me!! That makes sense. I didn't realize there was a try on before the fitting. Well that should definitely make things easier.

Thanks for the tip about Blums! I'll keep them in mind when I go shopping for undergarments.
