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.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bridal Headpiece
• Bridal Shoes
• Hosiery
• Measuring Tapes

1. Discuss alteration costs when you purchase the dress.

2. Follow the salon's suggestions for fittings. Most will have you in for at least two before the wedding.

3. Discuss with the seamstress the length and style you want before anything is cut or altered.

4. Show up for your fittings relaxed and somewhat put together.

5. Bring your wedding (or comparable) shoes every time so you have a realistic measurement of length.

6. Avoid wearing makeup that might end up on your wedding dress during the fitting.

Tips & Warnings

• Be realistic. Don't fool yourself into thinking you will lose enough weight by the big day to fit into a size 4 if you are normally an 8.
• Speak up and be precise about how you want the dress to fit.

on 3/11/2009 A properly fitted wedding gown does not need undergarments. Bra cups are attached to the gown eliminating the need to wear a bra. Unless you are more than 5'5 inches there is no need for an extra crinoline slip. When the gown is shortened it will eliminate the need to push the hem out wider. Sexy panties and shoes is all you will need on your wedding day.
