So great news is, my wedding dress arrived in store last month (was not expecting it until May so was over 2 months early) and it is gorgeous. I absolutely love it.
I have collected and it is currently at my MIL house awaiting for alterations. I called the alteration service last week, which was recommended at my bridal shop and they advised me that i would be booked into fitting on 21/09/2013 which is a month before my wedding.
I am just a bit concerned about timescales because the dress is still for a 5ft 5 bride and i am only 5ft so that would need to be altered and round the waist as i was in between a size 8-10 they went for the bigger size of 10 and the dress is a bit loose around my waist. Also because it is a lace dress i thought it would be a little more difficult for alterations. I am presuming i would only have 1 pr 2 fittings before my wedding (due to timescales) but is this normal and do you think they have given enough time? i know they are the professionals but so far all my wedding plans have been completed in advance and i have been very organised with everything to avoid stress (well until nearer the time). Can you let me know your thoughts? I might just call them up again and ask if i can re-schedule to August to give myself a bit more time. Will have my shoes and Lingerie by then 
.
Appreciate your advice girls x
