How far in advance did you start having your dress made? If you had to find a seamstress....what did you look for in that person? What was your deciding factor?I'm going to start dress shopping in about 2-3 months which will have me at 10 months before the wedding. I'd like to have a seamstress lined up by the time I start dress shopping.My other issue is, I'm not sure when I should start having the dress made if I plan on losing weight in the coming months before the wedding. I don't want my dress to not fit me properly.Thanks for the help!Natalie
