Alterations timeline???

I think it depends how much she’s going to have to take it in. Did you order it a little smaller assuming that you would lose weight? If she has to bring it in a lot she might need more time and multiple fittings! I would just ask the seamstress

View Quoted Comment No, I have a rather large bust that almost never changes (1" at most) regardless of how much weight i gain/lose so i had to buy my dress in the size that would accommodate my bust (back zipper) my measurements will equate to around 14 for the bust 4 for the waist and 10 for the hips. I purchased the dress in a 14... so, It may be a little more labor intensive than I originally anticipated looking at the measurements 😬 maybe I should shell out the extra to add a corset back, I wonder if that would actually make it easier on her!?!?!?!

View Quoted Comment It could be easier and it will probably be a lot more comfortable for you anyway Unless your dress already has a ton of structure a corset will give you more support! And make it easier to show off your new waistline!

I was told 3 to 4 months before wedding. You do have multiple fittings.

Call a seamstress to ask about her schedule. You don’t want to miss her busy schedule, or need to pay for rush charges. Once you get the dress fitted, maintain your weight.

View Quoted Comment I second this! You definitely have to find a seamstress and ask him or her. They have seen it all and also know what can be done according to his or her schedule.

View Quoted Comment I am taking it in May 15th to start everything. I was just concerned about possibly losing more weight or at least changes in measurements due to working out and toning up. I guess a corset back would be my best bet!
