Hey!
So I purchased my dress in person, and took it home that day! It fits *almost* perfectly (but I know I will lose a little weight in the next year)
My question is: When do I get alterations done, and would I go through 3 fittings similar to if I ordered the dress at the store? Or do I bring it in closer to my date and only have one fitting?
Also, do I go to a dress shop or someone who specializes in alterations?
I got my dress at David's Bridal but I don't want to get it altered there (I've heard some horror stories)
Thanks for your help!
Re: When to get alterations
Where you should take it depends on what's available in your area. Some bridal stores will alter dresses from other stores, and some won't. Or you may be able to find an independent seamstress who has experience working with wedding dresses (that's the important part!) but doesn't work in a store.
