Did anyone had to do alterations to their dress? I got mine at a very reputable brand in NY (very pricey also) and now scared of the upcoming alterations. I’m getting married in Europe and alterations are a lot cheaper there, but will only have 10 days to get everything done. Anyone has tips or recs? Based in NY

I definitely wouldn't leave it until you get to Europe. I understand it's cheaper and I'm sure you're looking to save as much as possible, but the stress and anxiety that will cause, not to mention the risk that it's not finished in time? Not worth whatever amount you'd be saving.

I’m in NJ and my dress needed to be taken in and hemmed. I had about 3 fittings over the course of 2-3 months before it was done. The alterations were half the price of the dress.

I got my alterations done in 3 sessions over 2 months, but the salon offered a package where you could have all your alterations done in a week (for $$$)

I had mine taken in because it was the only one left of this style and they weren't getting more. Unfortunately, I decided to get married in the hot August summer and I wasn't as bloated on my wedding day as I was at the fittings so the strapless beauty had to get tugged up over and over. It was a mess. Word to the wise: be bloated or don't be bloated but be consistent. Haha. Congratulations!

I think you need more than 10 days. You might ever need a month or two.

I agree with C1. It will only cause me stress and anxiety. What's the price difference if you get it done in NY?

Got my alterations 3 months prior. The dress would not have made it to the celebration if I brought it there a day later. It was really stressful.

Hi there! Did they offer you a package deal where you could have all the alterations done in a week or two?

If the price is not really a problem, I suggest you have it done a month before. 10 days would be too short for that. Good luck!
