When to have alterations?

Options
Being very MSE, I bought a second hand wedding dress two sizes too big. When should I arrange to have alterations done?

Again I also bought two second hand junior bridesmaids dresses for children. How far in advance of the wedding should they be measured up given that they will grow a lot between now and the wedding?

  • I had all of our dresses fitted in the month before the wedding. If you book it in with someone then having it done close to the big day shouldn't be a problem.

    I've just booked in for my first fitting on the 23rd October with the second on the 6th November. We get married on the 30th November.
