Headpiece, veil and shoes
Selecting your dress design is
just a first step toward the best possible fit.
Since the dress you try on in the store is a sample size, you will be measured
and the dress you choose will be ordered nearest to your size. When it is delivered, the shop will call
to arrange a date for your first fitting. Be sure to take the shoes you'll wear on your wedding day.
Some stores may include one fitting in the cost of the dress, but many do not.
Find out beforehand, since some dresses require several fittings. Special alterations and extra lengths
involve additional charges, as do headpieces and veils.
An alternative to buying and altering an off-the-rack dress is to have a designer
custom-fit an original gown for you. Remember to include the cost of alterations when making cost
comparisons.
