    I didn't think I needed alterations except a bustle but now I may need a hem.  So, I am getting marries 4/20 and the steamstress I spoke to wanted me to come in this sat.

    For my alterations I was told they need 68 weeks before the wedding and they stressed at least at the 8 week mark.

    I hate using my phone to respond on here! My phone put 68 weeks lol it was 6 to 8 weeks! You could do that also. I'm first having them do my bustle, then once that is done the hem will be next and the taking in.

    My bustle (at DB) will be done next Wednesday and I asked about needing it taken in and she said that if I do I have to schedule it the night of my appointment to make sure it's done for the first week of April.  I think it really depends on your seamstress, but I'd do it sooner than later.

    I needed a lot of alterations and my dress shop was able to get it back to me in a week. I think it depends on the dress shop, but if they say they will get it done then just have faith!

    I had my first fitting at about mid-January for my March wedding.  The alterations dept at David's Bridal needed 3 weeks for the hem and bustle.  I had my final fitting and brought my dress home the second week of February.  I had mine done a bit early though because I wanted to be sure I was able to get an appointment at my local DB and I'll be shipping my dress to Fit for a Bride in about a week or two at the latest.
