For that reason, we have pulled together a list of some important tips that you must keep in mind whenever you go for your bridal dress alterations.
1. Book your fittings in advance
Avoid leaving your fittings until a week before your wedding, make sure to book them in advance. Weddings are a seasonal affair, so it is pretty normal for your seamstresses to get super busy around the year. Try to book your first fitting at least 10-12 weeks before your wedding. Because it is a gradual process, it may take some time to create that perfect look that you have always dreamed of. Also, try to book your fitting sessions during the daytime and weekdays.
2. Do not forget to bring your wedding underwear
One most important thing that many women tend to forget is to bring their wedding underwear to their fitting sessions. While bringing wedding shoes is definitely necessary, wearing your wedding lingerie is super important. It is a good idea to wear a bra to see how it looks in your dress. You can also buy a nude bra and allow your seamstress to cut and stitch to your dress. You can also consider wearing a shape-wear. Even if you don’t need them, they can help provide you a smooth line to finish the dress. So do not forget to bring all these things to your fitting sessions if you plan to wear them on your big day!
3. Speak up if it doesn’t fit
Although your seamstress will do everything to make sure your dress fits you, ultimately you will be wearing it. So make sure to tell her if something doesn’t feel comfortable. Whether it’s a strap falling down or the zip is poking you, if you tell her in advance it will help you get the right fitting.
Keeping these tips in mind, look for alterations for bridal dresses.
