How long should alterations take? I need to have about 2 inches taken off the bottom and she is going to widen my straps. I went for my first fitting/meeting on 6/26 and at that time she was going to do the bottom and then have me come back in to measure for the straps. It's a month later and I haven't heard anything. We are 46 days out from the wedding and I am starting to panic. Should they be taking this long??
