    I have my 3rd fitting today and should be picking up my dresses. But I keep thinking about my dress and how i want the hips taken in more to be more fitted. Is it too late to ask her to do more alterations? BTW I wont be wearing this dress until Nov 27th

    I think is never to late,the most important thing, is that you feel confortable wearing your dress,and of course that you love the way you look with it,so thAt's the alteration ladys job,and you should try one more 1 week or two before the wedding,so you will make sure that it fits the way you wanted :) good luck

    It was recommended to me to go 2 months before my wedding to start the alterations process, so I think you have plenty of time!

    It is certainly not too late to ask. And if your seamstress says she doesn't have time, ask for recommendations. I found out that a regular alterations shop near my house also alters wedding dresses on request.

    Not at all! I went about 5 times for my problematic Lazaro. The lady was so patient with me she had me come in once just for piece of mind to try it on because I was losing sleeping worrying about it. If she did all three of your dresses I'm sure she'll understand.

    It's not too late. I didn't even START my alterations till about a month before the wedding, even though I bought my dress at one of those places that wants to take 6 months to do the alterations. They can always work quickly if they need to.

    you still have plenty of time! if it bothers you, get it altered or at least try it on again to see if you really want the alteration done.
