Your bridesmaids outfits might not be as elaborate as yours, but it’s still super important to them that they all look their best. Great bridesmaids dresses go beyond the right style and colour – it’s all about fit. Here are three tips your bridesmaids need to read before they attend their fitting.
Bring your wedding shoes to your fittings. The shoes you plan to wear with your dress can make a huge difference to your alterations. Not only do your shoes change the height of your hem, but they also affect your posture.
Bring your actual wedding undergarments. Whenever possible, bring your wedding day undergarments with you to your dress fittings and alterations, and if possible, wear the same bra you intend to wear on the big day. You will be amazed at how a little support can change your entire body shape, and different bras will certainly affect the alterations and fit.
Never ever order a smaller dress size. It is common for many brides to aspire to lose a little weight before their wedding day. Even so, most professionals will strongly discourage you to order your dress in the size you aspire to be. Instead, always order your dress in your current size, or even a smidge larger. Taking your dress in as needed is no big deal (in fact it’s a celebration), but letting it out can be disastrous, and incredibly stressful.
