Ist dress fitting

Colyflower, 6 February, 2013 at 14:51 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi guys

I've got a query that I hope some of you might be able to help with and put my mind at rest or not Smiley winking My wedding is this summer on 17 Aug, I chose my dress about 3 weeks ago, I've just rung them to check when my dress would be ready for my 1st fitting and they said it won't be delivered to them untill early June, does this sound right? I thought that was quite late for a first fitting, I've not yet been measured and I'm having the train taken off the dress and little capped sleeves added etc, will this be enough time?

Cheers

    1st fittings are normally 6 weeks before the wedding

    Sounds about right - first fittings are generally between 6 weeks and 2 months before the big day x

    This is something I've been worrying about since I ordered my dress on Saturday. The dress shop told me that was the latest I should order and in my own style I left it to the last minute! It's a sincerity dress so I'm not sure how long it will take to come but I'm hoping early June Smiley atonished

    It's a nerve wracking business buying wedding dresses!

    Phew that's great thanks, I'm sure she said the dress would arrive earlier but I must have misheard her. I'm glad I asked though as I didn't want a last minute panic, this happened to my friend who lived in Singapore, she found and tried on a dress when she was over here in the UK and then flew back a couple of months later to have her first fitting and they'd made a mistake and had her booked in as a dress searching appointment so the dress was not ready, she had to have all her fittings and adjustments done a couple of days before her wedding which was when she was next in the country. She seemed quite calm about the whole thing but I don't think I would be!

    Sounds about right- in fact, I'm with Kharv- sounds quite early! I picked mine on Saturday and was told 4-6 months til it's ready for a 1st fitting. We're getting married at the beginning of Sept. Eek!
