Alteration may be necessary to make your gown fit perfectly and conform smoothly your body.

Things to Consider:
Alteration usually require several fittings. Allow four to six weeks for alteration to be completed. However, do not alter your gown months before the wedding. Your weight may fluctuate during the final weeks of planning, and the gown might not fit properly. Alteration are usually no included in the cost of the gown.  Additionally, taking your dress for alterations during peak wedding season or choosing a gown that needs excessive restoration can greatly affect your alteration time line.

Shoes, bra and the other accessories should be bought well much in advance before going for the wedding dress alterations.

You may also want to consider  some modifications to your gown such as shortening or lengthening the train, customizing sleeves, beading and so forth.
