How far out do you make your wedding dress alterations appointment? And then how far out do you schedule it?

    My first appointment was about 2.5 months before my wedding. I made it a month in advance.

    I haven't made it yet. Going back there with my mother in a few months to shop for her, which is when I'm hoping to coordinate things. Also, I'm aiming to do my makeup trial the morning of my fitting so I can have the whole vibe. Smiley sexy

    My alterations appointment was exactly 2 months before the wedding and I'm picking it up 1 month before the wedding.

    My first alterations appointment was early December. They scheduled my second appointment for end of January, and my wedding is end of February.

    I did one at 14 months to get it hemmed, bustled, cups and cap sleeves. Then I had one two months out just to double check everything.

    I made the appointment in mid-October, the same day I found my dress. The seamstress who booked my appointment at DB was walking by when my stylist was helping me and helped me out out of no where - which I appreciated! Then she told me that since the wedding was at the end of Feb, she wanted to meet me in early December based off of what needed to be done to my dress. I'm glad she was there helping me because it's so hard to see what the dress may look like when it's 2 sizes too big already!

    3 months or so gives a seamstress a good amount of time to have multiple fittings to complete the work.
