Wedding Dress amongst covid

I ordered dress in September and was told it would take about 6 months. It came in right after Christmas. My wedding was scheduled for May 9 and they so-called to schedule in February. My second fitting was scheduled for early April. I’m sure there would have been a third and final right a bit before wedding. Then they would steam it for pick up.

I’ve been advised to start alteration 2 months before wedding and most likely 3 fittings. She called when my dress arrived and I’ve been in to try it on and see it again! She keeps it at the store while we wait to start alterations.

Pre covid, my dress took 5 months to arrive.,

I ordered my dress in January and was told it will take anywhere from 8-10 months to arrive before COVID lol. Since it's custom made to my measurements I will alter it a month before the wedding in case I lose any weight.

My bridal boutique called me when my dress arrived. However, that should have been something they went over with you when you ordered your dress. I got married in October and had my first alterations in August. I went back a total of 3 times, including my final 2 week fitting.

They will normally call you when the dress comes in, and fittings should be as close to the wedding as is reasonably possible to control for any weight changes. The seamstress you work with will probably have a typical schedule they follow.

Hi Leslie! Thats a good turn around. I am just worried with COVID especially since my Wedding is in Oct of this year.

Yeah this is kind of what I am thinking. I am so excited to see it and put it on again.

That's comforting. Thank you. I just feel antsy with having bought my dress a little over 6months pre wedding date and then COVID shutdown happened that night. I will just breathe and have a plan B for the dress just like I do the wedding
