Dress alteration timeline

I had my first fitting about 8 weeks out, second one a month out and my last one will be about 2 weeks before.

I wouldn't want my dress done too early in case my weight fluctuates

Date twin! I'm getting mine altered at the salon I bought it at. They initially wanted to schedule it for tomorrow but I'm going the first Friday in August. She seemed a little worried when I asked to push it off that long. You should also check with who is doing the alterations, what your dress is like and what you have to get done. For example, if you need the bust taken in and hemmed, you have to do that in two separate appointments. I don't see someone being able to do all that work in four weeks.

You don't want it too far out because it doesn't take long for your body to change. The closer to the wedding the better the fit.

Ok. I dont know how extensive it is to alter dressed. I have a huge ballgown that needs shortened up because i am so short and i need my straps hemmed up a bit. Easier said than done i guess. But get scared as the time gets closer,but def get the body changes

I am the day before you and I already had my first alterations appointment and my next one is the end of august.

I can't get my wedding date to show no matter what I do. UGH! Anyway, I am also 9/30/17.

I am getting my alterations done at the salon where I purchased the dress and they have me scheduled for 7/31, 8/18, 9/15, and in case I need one more 9/28. I would hope I would not be needing more alterations beyond three so the 9/28 date should be my pick up date.

I had my first fitting during the last week of May, and I was able to take my dress home the first week of July. (It would have been the last week of June but I was out of town, and it was originally supposed to be finished the week before that). Keeping in mind that the dress shop I used ordered 2 sizes larger than what I needed, and due to the style the dress was difficult to alter and we ended up literally having to remove 1/3 of the fabric due to it being so large, other women don't need as long to get their dresses altered.

If your wedding is in September and you would like your dress finished early, I would say start alterations now to be on the safe side.

I did mine a little under 2 months out at the store I got it.

I spoke to the shop i am having alterations done at, and they told me to come in ASAP, because it needs to be cleaned as well. I bought a dress "off the rack" and needs to be taken in quite a bit. My first fitting is tomorrow, but have not scheduled the rest yet. It may be a bit early, but i don't expect my body to change much from now to wedding

I had my first fitting the first week in May. I bought my dress "off the rack" as well and needed a good bit(almost a whole foot) hemmed off and cleaned. My next fitting isn't until Mid October for a true fitting.

I had my first alterations appointment in march, and i am picking my dress up the week of the wedding. i'm happy to have them store it for me.
