Hi ladies!


I said yes to the dress a couple of weeks ago and the wedding is in exactly 1 year this weekend!
I bought my dress from Wed2B, it needs some alterations around the drop sleeves and the bust but I’m hoping to drop at least one dress size, if not two, for the wedding. My question is, when would be the latest to leave the alterations as I’d ideally like to have them done in one go rather than multiple times if possible.
Any advice is greatly appreciated ☺️ thank you in advance xx

    When I booked my alterations in, the lady said she starts things 6 weeks before the wedding with the dress done and ready to be collected 2 weeks before the wedding. I suppose as close as possible to the wedding so your shape won’t really change too much from first measurement to wedding day.

    Congratulations on finding your dress! I found mine at the same place! I would say at least 2 months before, but I would 100% check on the turn around time for your chosen seamstress, just to be sure!

    Hey love, we always ask ideally for 6-8 weeks so that you can have it two weeks before your big day xx
