When did you/will start getting your dress alterations if needed? I have mine at home, but I need to take her in for some alterations...not sure when to do it though.  Ideally, I would like to lose some more weight, but I also want to be realistic with myself....which translates into...I'll probably stay at my current weight.  So with that said, I wanted to see what you ladies are doing.  TIA!

Hehe! That sums it up perfectly for me too :) I am curious as well!

First fitting - 6 weeks before. 

My wedding is on October 3.... so going in on August 22nd.  

and today.... I go BACK to DB to possibly buy a new dress to replace the first one!!!!  so excited!

Hmm...I'm 10/23 but leaving a week beforehand so I'm thinking I'll go the end of August for the first fitting.  I'm the same way, I've been trying to get to the gym and eat better, but I love my food!  :P 

KC, keep us posted on the new dress situation!!!  :)

you want to go ahead and call them and see what their schedule is like. i was glad i called earlier in june just to make an appointment, i told her when i wanted the dress. first week of october. and she said since she was out of town for the last 2 weeks of september, it was best for me to come in end of july/beginning of august. thank god I did call! so don't assume they can fit you in!

thanks ladies! will be calling over the weekend to set up appointments :)

KC, can't wait to see what dress you get...if you get a new one :)

My wedding is 10-9 and I'm having my bustle done now and I pick it up on 7-9. 

min said to come 4 weeks before, but that makes me nervous so im going 6 weeks. hahalast week of august.

I took my dress in about 2 months ago to have her work on the length.  I go in this week her to start working on bringing the dress in.  I've lost about 4 pounds and hope to lose possibly 3 more give or take.  It all depends on how much work your dress needs too.  I'd say take it in now to be on the safe side and get the seamstress' opinion.

my first fitting is sept 8...6 weeks before wedding!
