Question about final gown fitting

maniac0511 · May 2011

Is it too soon to have a final gown fitting scheduled 2 weeks before the travel date? My final fitting is scheduled for October 19th and travel date is November 3rd.

My first two fitting are about 2 months before. I'm wondering if I should move the final fitting date even closer to the travel date? My weight doesn't fluctuate at all ... since high school actually

So .. should I worry about it?

I wouldn't worry about it! I'm going to end up having mine before that, but my back is a corset, so it shouldn't really effect me that much. If you haven't gained/lost any weight since HS, def don't worry about it.

I had my first fitting a month ago, 3 weeks ago went back to try it on to see how it fit and it was perfect. I'm now 2 weeks out and I'm going to just pop in tomorrow (no apt with the alterations dept.) to just to be sure everything is perfect - if not it'll give me time to book in with the seamstress - if it is something I know it would be very minor.

I am 2 months out today, and I am going for my first alterations appointment today. I'm not at all worried about gaining weight in the next 2 months, but do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

2 weeks is perfectly fine. It also gives you a little buffer *just* in case something needs to change.

yup two weeks is perfect and I think it will give you peace of mind that your dress will be done when it is time to travel. I had my final fitting two weeks before the wedding and everything was great!
