Congratulations are in order. It looks like you have found your dream dress. So, does that mean the process is finally over? Well, unfortunately, it doesn’t. You still need to get the dress altered so that it fits your body perfectly. When it comes to the outfit you will wear for one of the most significant days in your life, the fit can make a world of difference. That is why it is crucial that you get the necessary adjustments done in time. Whether you want sleeves added to the gown or it needs to be completely resized, here are some of the alteration tips you should know: 

1. Make sure your dress can be altered

The alterations are one of the most important things that you need to keep in mind when you pick out your wedding dress. And before you to commit to buying something you really like, make sure you find out if alterations can be made to it. Most bridal salons offer resizing but if you have more specific changes in mind, be open about them and if they aren’t possible, you might want to keep looking.

2. Schedule multiple fittings

Ask any bridal salon and they’ll tell you that you need at least three wedding dress fittings. This allows you plenty of time to get the alterations done and make any other changes, if necessary. The first fitting should ideally take place three to four months before the wedding while the final one should take place at the two-week mark.

3. Don’t forget to factor in the alterations in your wedding dress budget

When you decide on your wedding dress budget, you should always take the alterations into consideration because no matter what, the dress will probably have to be altered. While most brides spend a few hundred dollars on alterations, depending on the type of dress and adjustments, you can expect to pay between $400 to $1000.

My aunt has been thinking about getting married in the Summer, and she already knows what gown she wants to wear. She would really like to get some help from a professional to alter it because she has lost a lot of weight since she first tried it on. I liked what you said about how she can get a resizing, and it should be done three to four months before the event.
