Your Final Dress Fitting

Ordering Your Dress

Because we are all, fortunately or unfortunately, not the exact same body size and shape, wedding dresses are made to meet particular measurements and then altered to provide you, the bride, with the best fit for your shape. If you order your dress from a bridal shop, the consultant will most likely take your measurements, compare them to the standard measurements from the manufacturer, and order the corresponding size. It is safer to order the size corresponding to your largest measurement; other sections of the dress can be taken in but generally not let out (or not let out very much). A blue faced bride would not be particularly attractive in the pictures!

Fittings

Once the dress arrives at the shop, you will schedule several fittings. Your final fitting will likely take place anywhere from several weeks to a month before the wedding. Some of this scheduling will depend on whether you plan to have a formal portrait taken and when that needs to be done. When you arrive at the shop for the final fitting, be sure to have in hand your wedding shoes (or a very similar pair in terms of heel height) and wedding undergarments. If possible, you may also want to style your hair as it will be for the wedding to see the full ensemble while there is still some time to change things.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Dress fittings are a fun opportunity to involve your mother, future mother-in-law, maid/matron of honor, or other close friend in the excitement leading up to your day. In addition to admiring your choice of dress, this individual can take pictures of the fitting which make wonderful souvenirs of the pre-wedding planning and events.
