For all the brides to be or already married brides, I wanted to see what your suggestions are for when to get your final fitting done. I am doing P90x with my FI and I have lost 6 pounds so far. I have got my dress (still being made), but the wedding is not until January 2012. I have a while to go still. I have heard some people say 2 months before, and some say 2 weeks before. HELP! I dont want to get it done, spend the money, then it still be too big... or if I happen to gain a little before (which would be terrible) it be too small.

    This is from TK:
    There are usually three fittings: the first at six weeks out; the second fitting at one month out; and the final fitting at one to two weeks before the wedding day.
    So after that final fitting you would want to maintain your weight for that last week or 2 before the wedding.

    I've heard that line of thinking before, but it would make me VERY nervous to wait until two weeks before the wedding to get a final fitting. A month before should suffice. Your dress won't fit like a second skin no matter what you do, so with everything being so stressful those last couple weeks before, I'd make it easier with one less appt. Good luck!

    It's very dependent on where you go for your alterations.  I did not do mine at a bridal salon, instead at a local alterations place that specializes in bridal/formalwear and I was about a month out before the wedding.  I had three fittings, and was very honest with the seamstress about what I was expecting to lose between that point and the wedding.  My dress did fit like a second skin- exactly as it should have.    My last fitting was the week before the wedding.
