How to Get a Wedding Dress Fitted

Most brides are on an automatic weight-loss plan due to nerves and excitement. Be sure to have your dress altered accordingly.

  • Discuss alteration costs when you purchase the dress.
  • Follow the salon's suggestions for fittings. Most will have you in for at least two before the wedding.
  • Discuss with the seamstress the appropriate length and style you want before anything is cut or altered.
  • Show up for your fittings relaxed and somewhat put together.
  • Bring your wedding (or comparable) shoes every time so you have a realistic measurement of length.
  • Avoid wearing makeup that might end up on your wedding dress during the fitting.
