    I just called to schedule my first fitting, and they don't have a Saturday appointment opening until April 3! My wedding is June 26. Do you think that gives enough lead time? I don't expect any major changes - just shortening the hem, bringing the bodice in a little bit, and removing a little bit of the poofy tulle under the skirt.

    My other option is to go in sometime in early March, but the shop is 3 hours away so I'll have to take a whole day off work, and I'll have to go alone w/o my MOH.

    Thoughts?

    My first fitting was mid April for a June 10 wedding so I think you will be fine!

    My first fitting is two months before my June wedding.  I think you will be fine.

    I think you'll have plenty of time, that gives them over 2 months to do the alterations! :o) I know how stressful it sounds though.

    Okay thanks I feel a little better =) Part of me is just super excited to go put on my dress and April feels like such a long time to wait! 

    Follow up question - how many fittings did it take until your dress was ready to go?
