When should I schedule alterations for my gown? All it needs is to be hemmed. There's no major changes like taking in or out. My wedding is August 1st.

I was advised to do it 2-3 months in advanced at the latest. You should ask whoever will be doing your alterations what their turnaround time is, and then add some time on top of that as a buffer.

I got my hem done over a year out. I’m not getting any taller and I already had my shoes and heel height

I started mine 4 months in advance!
I would call the seamstress you're planning on going through and asking their opinion. When I called mine she recommended 4 months because she's the only one who does alterations and it's a small business which means longer turn around time
I see her one a month to try the dress on again to make sure it fits and that the alterations she's doing fit my body type

I too would advise you to speak with the seamstress you've chosen and ask him/her turn around time and when they would recommend you book in for You never know how large their workload would be and you want to ensure you're scheduled in!
