Just spoke to the seamstress recommended by the shop where I bought my dress. Wedding is 25th September and they have scheduled the first fitting for 5th September. Does this seem like its a bit late for a first fitting?
my dress is the right length, it just doesn't zip up atm (major dieting going on) so either i fit or i get a modesty panel. I think it will just need taking in around the chest and possibly a few beads need reattaching.
