Do I need another dress fitting before my wedding?
Yes, it's a good idea to try on your wedding dress again before the wedding. Here’s why:
Reasons to Try on Your Dress Before the Wedding:
Ensure a Perfect Fit: Your body can change in the weeks leading up to the wedding, so it's important to check that the dress still fits perfectly. This allows time for any last-minute alterations.
Practice Comfort: Wearing the dress again helps you get comfortable with how it feels, especially if it's heavy, has a long train, or has intricate details. You can practice moving, sitting, and even dancing in it to ensure you're comfortable on the big day.
Double-Check Accessories: If you have shoes, jewelry, or other accessories, trying everything on together helps you see the complete look and make any necessary adjustments.
Confirm Dress Condition: It's good to make sure the dress is in perfect condition—no loose threads, missing beads, or other issues that might have developed since you last tried it on.
Bustle Practice: If your dress has a train, practicing how to bustle it (if needed) ensures you or your designated helper knows exactly what to do during the reception.
Timing for the Final Try-On:
Ideally, schedule the final try-on about 1–2 months before the wedding. This gives you enough time to make any small adjustments but is close enough to the big day that your body size and shape should stay consistent.
Trying on your dress again also gives you a chance to get excited and feel that special wedding day feeling all over again!
