here is the site for my bridesmaid dress. our's is going to be in burnt orange.

BUt my question is.... how long does it take to have a dress altered. the wedding is August 11th and I will be VERY VERY pregnant by then lol. I have ordered an extra yard of material to go with the dress for alterations. but I don't want to have it altered until I absolutely have to because I don't know how big I am gonna get or how fast I will grow.

anyone know how long it takes to alter it?

We had a similar dress for my sister-in-law's wedding in coral

It shouldn't take too long to get it altered if you call around and make an appointment a few days before the date and tell them of your situation. Do you know of any friends or family that can do alterations? If so that would save you a lot of explaining. But yeah I turned my dress in a week or two before my wedding for maintenance stuff and it was back in like 3 days, and that was through David's Bridal lol

I should give the Alfred Angelo store here a call. All my family lives far away lol so they won't be able to do it since I won't be near them until the day before the wedding.... and while I love to do things last minute I think that is just a little TOO last minute even for me hehe.

I'm actually still waiting for the dress to get here. I don't even have it yet. but I'm hoping the only alteration I will need is some added material to the waist panelling to accomdate my belly haha

I don't have answers about how long it takes to get them altered, but just wanted to say what a pretty dress! It will be flattering on a pregnant woman as well.

If you fine a little place to do the alterations, *someone that doesn't have a lot of dresses to do each week* they will be able to get alterations done in a day.
For my wedding I had a sister that had a baby 3 weeks before my wedding and another sister that was 7 months along. Both had their final alterations 2 days before the wedding.

thank you. I hope it will be at least somewhat flattering. LOL I am afraid the two pieces of chiffon are gonna drape open across my belly and not close haha.

Pitc9..... perhaps I will look around at different places to do alterations. I just figured since it was an alfred angelo dress I should get it done at their store but I guess it's not nessecary. I suppose anyone that knows how to do alterations can alter a dress for a pregnant lady.
