I'm going for a dress fitting tomorrow. I heard there's usually more than one fitting required. Is there anything I should watch out for, before I accept it?

The alterations were: hem the length,create an outer bustle, take out waist, take in the chest a bit. It's going to be harder to look for things because my friend is sick and won't be able to come with me.

There's a GREAT series of 3 podcasts on this very topic by GOWN DESIGNERS Michelle and Henry Roth. Go to http://weddingpodcastnetwork.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Planet%20Bride

and scroll way down to "Alterations and your alter ego" Parts 1,2 and 3. They're silly but packed with excellent info on bridal gown fittings. Enjoy!
