 Wedding Apparelrelated links: ins & outs of dress shopping vendors: accessories the fit You may have the most beautiful dress in the world, but if it doesn’t fit, ultimately you’ll be unhappy with your choice. A bride goes through at least two fittings, with a final try-on a few days before the wedding. Alterations to a purchased gown are inevitable. Don’t be offended by the “size” your fitter ends up assigning you. Wedding gown sizes are typically two sizes larger than ready-to-wear sizes. Additionally, every gown manufacturer uses a fit model and bases all their gowns on this woman’s measurements, graduating them up or down for various sizes. Your measurements will be compared to the manufacturer’s size charts. Since wedding gowns have very narrow seams, there is no room to let it out to a larger size. Therefore the fitter will order the gown that fits your largest measurement best. During your two or more fittings, the gown will be altered to fit your smaller measurements. The ultimate fit of the gown depends on the accuracy of the fitter’s measurements, so be sure you bring the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear with your dress. |
