I'm trying to find out as well:) my dress should come in the first week of february and my wedding is in march I hope it dsnt take much time.
My wedding is at the end of Feb and my seamstress is having me come in for my first fitting early next week. I was supposed to come in at the end of this week \: and I'm also flying out a week before my wedding which she doesn't know about yet. Jokes on her though, I didn't lose any weight at all! I think I gained.
My dress came in barely a month before my wedding. I went in for my first fitting three weeks before our date, went back just under a week later and it was altered and almost perfect, had the final fitting with a few more details tweaked not long after. I can't remember exact times, but it was definitely done in less than two weeks, and apparently they were super busy with alterations at the time too.
ETA: Oh and that was with them taking it in around 2 sizes, adding a sweetheart neckline, doing a lot of hemming, sewing in cups, and putting in a 14 point bustle.
Bridal salon told me 3 months. Im having long sleeves added to it, though so that adds time I'm sure.
I was told 8-12 weeks but I plan on having my zipper altered into a corset back so they said it would be closer to 12week. I plan on going in 17 weeks before cause I'm always worried it will take longer or something will go wrong.
Re-doing the bust area, hemming, altering the size, changing the straps, adding a bustle took less than two weeks. I LOVED my alterations lady. She does the costuming for the SF Opera and runs an alteration business on the side.
I've had my fitting so I came back to let you know - I'm taking in the bust (big job, apparently, since she has to rip it all apart and bring it in, then sew the detail back on top), moving the back panel over, adding bra cups, and do the bustle. I'm getting a french bustle, and all 6 layers of tulle and lace of my skirt have to be hemmed together with a ribbon in order to get it to hang right. One to two weeks! This is a good time of year to get alterations done quickly, not as many brides.

I just started South Beach, so I don't want to get it done now. I do want to make sure I have enough time to get it done though. How long did yours take from start to finish?
