Managing the gap between final fitting and wedding ceremony advice please!

CC, on April 26, 2023 at 3:10 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Im having to get my wedding dress alterations done by the end of May but my wedding isn’t until 12th August. I’m relocating early June and giving my mum my dress to bring.


Have any other brides had to do this and can share any tips please?
My weight can go up and down quite easily so im thinking I just keep eating what I am and measuring but it’s still a worry!

    I also fluctuate easily, so I completely understand. Recently I’ve been working out what I need to do to stay in maintenance phase (where you’re not gaining or losing outside of natural fluctuations). Since your fitting is coming up, I would do that ASAP and then stick with whatever works for the next couple months. I’ve been logging my food and weighing daily (that could probably be reduced to weekly, but I like the data) so if I start moving too much in either direction I can make adjustments. It’s a hassle, but the dress needs to fit lol!

    Can you not take the dress with you when you relocate to have alternations done where you will be living? Just because you got the dress one place doesn't mean it has to be altered there as well.

    Thank you that’s really useful! Yeah it’s more my upper body as it’s a fitted strapless bodice the rest is floaty!

    I’m going to Guatemala and don’t speak Spanish! The dress is really detailed on the bodice with beading so it’s not something I’d want to risk having altered over there! I’m relocating too so will have my life in suitcases so don’t wanna travel with the dress! Giving it to my Mum to bring to the wedding
