Dress Alterations

MD, on June 6, 2019 at 11:14 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

How close to your wedding did you pick up your dress after alterations? The wedding is July 20th, and I had an appointment to pick it up this last Friday. They still have more work to do, so they pushed it out a month to June 28th. I'm sure this is super common, I'm just worried that if it's still not right at the 2nd appointment, we'll be in crunch time.

I'm mostly concerned I'll have to go back again due to the fact that one person did the 1st appointment, and another girl did the 2nd appointment. The 2nd girl only checked one thing that was altered, saw it wasn't quite right yet, and had me get out of my dress.. she didn't check the other 3 things that were done.

Any help/thoughts are appreciated!

    They were still altering mine 3 days before my wedding and I picked mine up the day before! This was due to me continuing to lose weight from stress though.

    My wedding is September 14th, and my final fitting is scheduled for August 24th, but she wanted it to be later to take care of any last minute stress related weight loss. I just don’t want to miss out on Labor Day weekend if I don’t have to!

    That seems odd that she didn’t check the other things that were altered but even if you have one more after June 28 you should be good!

    I think if you have one more after that you'll be fine like everyone else said! My friend got married last year and picked her dress up three days before her wedding.

    I picked my dress up the week of my wedding. I think it was on a Tuesday. I left Friday to go to the venue for my semi-DW and wedding was on Saturday. They had to finish the bustle and do something else that I can't remember now but it was perfect when I went for the final fitting to pick it up. One of my bridesmaids came with me so she could learn how to bustle it.

    Based on the alterations timeline given by my seamstress, I’ll likely be picking my dress up either the week before or the week of my wedding.
