On today’s show, Julie talks with Giselle Ghofrani from Dress Doctor about dress fittings, and things to help if your dress ends up being too big. Some brides change weight as they plan their wedding due to stress, and some just want room to dance, and jump around. Either way, there are ways to have a great fitting dress that will hold its shape and not become unmanageable as the wedding goes on!

Show Highlights:

First dress fitting 6-8 weeks before event
Consultation and come back for 3 fittings
Know your body, and discuss with the seamstress
If alterations are more than standard find someone that does more custom alterations
Waist belts in the dress
Practice sitting down, and moving around in dress at fittings
Dress grows with your body as time goes
Grosgrain, get one inch wide, and what to do with it
Don’t recommend safety pins inside of the dress
Strapless dresses
Felina longline bra’s
Your fitter should help with what you would need for your dress undergarments
