First Fitting This Week!

I too had my first fitting this week! During my appointment she pinned the sides, hem will be my next fitting. I brought all of those things and needed none. I worn a minimal Spanx and might not be wearing it as I've got 5 layers and it didn't make much of a difference, but will make the final decision at the next fitting once the sides have been taken in

Thanks, that's comforting to know! I've heard so many conflicting things. I've heard they often do hem at the first fitting for example, and some places won't actually sew the sides until closer to the day in case you lose/gain weight. I guess I'll find out my seamstress' approach tomorrow!

I would bring everything you listed just in case but for my first fitting she just pinned the top and it was really quick. But I'm sure every seamstress works differently so might as well be prepared!

Thank you! That's a good point...

She does have to take up the straps, plus we are also putting a LOT of tulle underneath instead of/as well as the hoop I was given at the store, so I guess she won't really be able to hem until those things are done.

I suppose it doesn't hurt to take literally everything, even if you don't need it. Better than needing something you don't have!
