Alterations

When did you go for your fittings/alterations?  I've had my dress for ages, but now I need some alterations.

My wedding is 5/18 and I am trying to figure out if going on 3/3 is too late.

    I had my first fitting the end of last month.  I need 4 fittings in total & my place books up fast (they were already pretty much fully booked!).  I worked out my fitting schedule working backwards.  Last one is the week before, then it's a month out for each.  I don't think they really need a month to actually do the alterations, but that totally depends on where you're getting it altered.

    I've already had my dress altered.  We got it altered in August in order to even get to where I could sit in it/breathe.  We'll check again in March and see if anything else needs to be done to it.

    My wedding is also 5/18 and my first fitting is tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous because I've had my dress almost a year now and haven't tried it on since I picked it up.

    Our wedding is May 26 and I have my first fitting March 24. I would contact the bridal shop that you purchased your dress from and see  what they suggest.

    I hope to get my fitting done in March, there's very little I need for my dress- just hemmed and I'm removing the cap sleeves on mine.
