Fittings & Alterations on Wedding Dresses

  You are likely to require a minimum of two fittings for your dress unless you are having a dress custom made for you, then there would be a minimum of three fittings. Keep in mind that the fitting is just as important as choosing the wedding dress itself so give it the same consideration as you did in looking for your dress. If your dress doesn’t fit you perfectly, don’t be shy about scheduling more fittings.

 Having Miller Bridal & Sewing do the alterations for you would give you the peace of mind that your dress will be altered by seamstresses who have the expertise and experience to do a great job.

1. Schedule

As the arrival date nears, make an appointment for your first fitting.  The first fitting should take place approximately 6 weeks before your wedding day.

2. Weight a Minute

If you are planning on losing weight for your wedding day, start early and try to be in wedding day shape for the first fitting. You should expect to maintain the same weight from your first fitting until your wedding day. Changes in your figure/weight can cause issues with the way the dress fits on you.

3. Coming Prepared

Begin looking for your shoes and undergarments (bra and slip) immediately after purchasing your dress. It is important to have all your accessories before your first fitting. Changing your undergarments or the height of your shoes after being fitted can cause your dress to not fit properly and require additional work.
