First Bridal Fitting Jitters

Tiffany, on July 15, 2020 at 3:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

So tonight is my first bridal fitting for alterations. Is it normal to be near panic attack nervous for this? I think my deal is, the last time I tried on my dress was a little over a month ago. My mom couldn't hook the top 2 or 3 hooks on my bustier that was already a size bigger than my normal size that I wear. The dress was a little snug whereas the sample I tried on when I decided on my dress was actually a little too big. I'm hoping that it's because it is new and nobody else has ever worn it. I unfortunately (maybe it was a blessing, who knows?) I got sick with COVID beginning of June and lost 10lbs so hopefully that helps! But I don't think I lost it in the areas that the dress needs me to. But, my fiance was able to get the bustier completely hooked last night but I'm hoping it's not because he's a strong man lol. I know there are usually 2 or 3 fitting appointments but this one has me nervous!

What was everyone's first fitting appointment like? Did anyone experience their dress being too tight? Is it possible my gut is trying to tell me something (example, I got the wrong dress) or am I overthinking it? I need some positive vibes sent my way cause I'm stressing!

    Don’t stress. This is what fittings are for. A good seamstress will know what to do so that it fits like a glove. Most designers leave room for a dress to be take out if need be, but it sounds like you may not need that. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

    Girl that’s what fittings are for— to take a dress that was generically made and transform it to make it look like it was stitched around your body! It’s completely normal to need some areas taken in and other areas let out!

    Yes, the first fitting my dress was sooooo tight and it was a size larger than the sample. By the second fitting it was loser in places that were restricting. I’m hoping by my 3rd and pick up appointment my dress will be fitting snatched and snug in the right places.

    I have my first fitting tonight too! I haven't tried my dress on in months, and I'm definitely nervous that it won't fit with all my quarantine stress eating.
