Your wedding day promises to be one of the most memorable of your life. But all the planning in the world can’t make up for the discomfort of a tight dress, which can easily distract you when you’re meant to be reveling in the joy of spending time with your loved ones. Here are some tried-and-true suggestions to ensure you don’t spend the entire day wishing you were wearing something else.

4 Steps to Ensure Your Wedding Dress Fits Well

1. Purchase Everything First

You should know what you’re wearing with the dress in advance, including your undergarments and shoes. This will help you determine how the dress will fit and how long it should be so that the appropriate alterations can be made. Bring those items with you to your first fitting.

2. First Fitting Preparation

It’s best to bring someone along to the first fitting. Since this takes place at least six weeks before the big day, it gives your tailor time to make necessary adjustments. When you put it on, inspect it closely for signs of bunching or puckering. Make sure that the stitches are meticulous and that all embellishments are tightly affixed. Address all changes now so that the dress is in perfect shape for the second fitting.

3. Second Fitting Finalizing

As with the first visit, bring your undergarments and shoes along. Pull on the newly adjusted dress and examine it thoroughly for any issues. It should move with you instead of constricting your movements when you turn, bend, stand up, and sit down. Check the length carefully to ensure it doesn’t fall below the top of your shoes. This is your final chance to make any corrections, so your dress is ready for the final fitting.

4. Final Fitting Wrapup

Not only should dress fit like a dream at this point, but it should also be in pristine condition and ready for your special day. Inspect it closely for any wrinkles or folds that need to be smoothed out. Ask the tailor for guidance so that you can prepare it properly. You’ll feel your best in a dress that looks as great as it fits.
