The exciting moment has arrived to alter your wedding dress! During your first fitting, you'll see your dress for the first time since you said “yes” and collaborate with your fitter as they pin and tailor it to your exact specifications. At the end of this initial fitting, your fitter will schedule a second appointment and suggest bringing your maid of honor, a trusted friend, your mom, or a bridesmaid to each subsequent fitting. Here’s why having them with you is essential:
She’ll Be Your Designated Bustle Expert
At your second fitting, the fitter will discuss bustle options for your wedding dress. The bustle lifts your train off the ground so you can dance comfortably. You’ll choose from three bustle styles, and your maid of honor will need to learn how to do the bustle on your wedding day. Once it's sewn into your dress, the fitter will show her how to manage it perfectly.
She’ll Provide Moral Support
Having someone to offer moral support and a second opinion is invaluable. Whether you're deciding between different bustle styles, adding extra appliqués, or choosing between stud or drop earrings, she’ll be there to help with every decision.
She Can Ask All the Important Questions
Your maid of honor can ask essential questions you might overlook, like how to use the bathroom in your wedding dress (hint: you’ll need assistance). She’ll also help you get in and out of the car on your way to the ceremony or reception, ensuring you sit comfortably without wrinkling your dress.
She’ll Be Your Dressing Expert
At your final fitting, have her watch as the fitter helps you into your wedding dress, including managing zippers, corsets, buttons, or snaps. She’ll need to master the technique to ensure everything fits perfectly on your big day. She can also help with your jewelry, headpiece, and veil.
She Can Review Your Dress with You at Pickup
When you pick up your wedding dress after the final fitting, it will be pressed, stuffed with tissue paper, and covered in a white cloth bag. Your fitter will show you the dress one last time before you take it home. Having your maid of honor or designated person review it with you ensures that nothing is overlooked and that your dress is absolutely perfect for your wedding day.
