Activity for Raquel

I'm thinking about picking out my MOH & BM's dresses there but i'm just concerned how alterations go are they too overpriced or pretty affordable? I'm open to any suggestions. =)

I was wondering when I should start shopping for my wedding dress the date is planned for 4/23/2016 and I'm trying to lose 50-65 lbs. When is a good time to start the shopping process? Should I wait until I lose the lbs?
