dress fittings

How many days before the wedding are you picking up your finished dress?  I bought a dress of the rack that needed some major alterations to fit.  I have had one fitting, will go again tomorrow, and then again later in the week.  My dress won't be "ready" until the week of my wedding!   I am very worried that this is too close and that I may be unhappy with the fit, but will have no time to change it.

  • If the seamstress is very reputable, I think you will be fine.

    I was an out of state bride and my dress was back in my hometown. I just got married in June, had my first and only fitting in April when I went home for my bridal shower. I was not able to get back until a week before the wedding. I went into the shop, tried it on & it was perfect. Had I needed a simple fix, he would have been able to do it. I then took it to the cleaners to get it steamed which took about 4-5 days and picked it up from the cleaners on Friday afternoon for my Sat wedding.

    I hope this helps ease your mind a bit.
  • You'll be fine.  I'm picking my dress up tonight - one week before the wedding.
  • Thanks, that makes me feel better :)
