final fitting timeline

How long before your wedding did you have your final fitting and take your dress home? It seems like with my timeline ill be getting it all finished a month before the wedding. Is that too soon?

    My final appointment is 7/15 for our 7/29 wedding. Hopefully it fits like a glove and I can take it home, otherwise we have a 2 week buffer to make any small changes. I've been losing a lot of weight so my alterations lady wanted to get the final apt as close as possible to the wedding. A month would have left me with a dress too big but if your weight is stable it would probably be ok!

    Mine is 7/12 for my 7/28 wedding. I would be nervous if my final fitting were next week.

    I pick my dress up from its final alteration today. My wedding is on Friday.

    A month is fine is your weight is stable like @Caitlin said.

    My very last appt was a week before the wedding. We started alterations about 1.5 months before the wedding.

    I went in for my first appt May 6th and all that needed to be done was a hem, I went in for my second (and final) fitting June 6th to confirm the hem length and add a bustle. I pick my dress up July 18th, getting married July 22nd. But since I didn't need anything taken in/let out I may be different than others.

    Mine is 6/30 for my wedding on 7/15. I had a bridesmaid dress for a friend's wedding altered back in March for July 2. Not worried at all, because my weight is super stable. If that's your situation, you'll definitely be fine!

    I had my final fitting the week before the wedding and picked up my dress Thursday before my Saturday wedding. There's no reason for you to take the dress home earlier -- you should be able to leave it at the bridal salon.

    I already have mine at home. But all I needed was a bustle and to add the corset back, everything else fit perfectly.

    I just took mine in to be cleaned and a snag fixed. I will try it on/pick it up the week of the wedding.

    My fittings were done and I took my dress home just shy of 3 weeks before the wedding.
