Hi ladies!

So after I picked up my dress and talked alterations with the lady (not going through DB, thank Goodness! they said 8 week!) I started thinking about when my final weight needed to be attained. I had originally thought it would be my wedding day, but now that I think about it...alterations need to be made with every few lbs lost! What are you ladies doing about this? Thoughts? TIA!

is your dress corset back? it will help if you are planning on losing more weight after your final fitting. Most brides lose a few pounds right before the wedding due to last minute stress. But I actually gained 2 or 3 lb. So it is really your call. I would for sure try to lose as much as possible (or as much as you want) before alterations. But if you lose just a few after the last fitting, it won't be too bad. 

It isn't a corset back :( darnit! When would the final fitting be?

My final fitting was a week away from the wedding

so technically I could be losing weight right up until then? I would have all the major alterations already done (starting in 2 weeks) and the last minute would just be taking it in. 

My wedding is in July, I want to go for my first fitting in May. My goal is to hit at least 130, hoping for 120 by May.

nope. The shitty part is that they don't do hem and bustle until the take the dress in . At least that what happened to me. but I had pretty painful alterations process. You should talk to the person who is going to do your dress. How much bigger is if going to be?

Right now it is a 16 and is loose. I plan on losing at least 15 more lbs (lost 15 so far) and would like to have lost 10 more if I have time! I've got an appointment with a woman march 26th. Hope she can help!

good luck!
