First Fitting!

Yay! How exciting! I guess the main thing to ask is how much you anticipate it costing, and how long the alterations person will need. Ask whether you can/should book all your fittings in now, well in advance (I know mine books out) and what they would prefer you bring to each one.

View Quoted Comment Alterations are don't at a separate establishment, so I'm calling tomorrow to see if I can book an appointment after my fitting.

Done not don't. Silly autocorrect.

That's exciting! Do you have an idea of what you already want/need altered?

Consider asking what type of bustle they recommend, if it needs to be bustled.

View Quoted Comment I've lost weight so I'll have to get the dress taken in a little. And I'd like it bustled.

View Quoted Comment Definitely needs to be bustled. I just hope it looks nice and not like I'm pooping out fabric 😹

View Quoted Comment Same! I had to get my dress taken in 2 sizes lol

View Quoted Comment I hope I look how I envision myself in the dress and not as a stuffed sausage...

My advice would just be to take your time! Make a list of questions beforehand so you don't feel stressed afterwords. If you have a mom, MOH, bridesmaid, etc. with you ask them to take videos of the bustle. AND SOAK IN EVERY MOMENT OF YOU IN YOUR GOWN!! You won't get that time back.
