I'm mostly a lurker, but I was hoping to get some thoughts on Alterations at David's Bridal. I also posted this on the Attire Board, but since I lurk here the most and think you gals give great advice, I'm also posting it here. Sorry if this is a bit long. (Cliff Notes at bottom)
I bought my dress in Colorado when I came back to visit family for the holidays (we recently moved out of state). My FMIL is nice enough to store it in her house until the wedding.
The question I have though is how to proceed with alterations. I was going to ask my mom or FMIL to mail me the dress and take it to a place down here in Georgia. But my mom wants me to fly back for a weekend, get the initial fitting done next month, and then take care of any last minute changes when I fly out for the actual wedding (i'll be getting there 1 week before). My worry is that doing this will leave us in a time crunch, but she thinks it will be ok.
The dress fits me really well, so really all I think I'll need done is a slight hemming (just a few inches since I got the petite size), and a simple bustle.
What would you gals do?
CN: Bought my wedding dress in Colorado, but I am now living in Georgia. Would it be better to fly back, and have alterations done there over a weekend, or ask my mom to mail me the dress and get it fitted here? It would most likely be a simple hem and bustle that needs to be done.
Thanks in advance everyone!
