What do I need to bring to my fitting?
* Do bring your wedding shoes, if you havent bought them yet bring a pair of the same height.
* Any underwear you have bought to see if it sits well with the style of dress. Most of the corseted styles do not require a bra.
* I would advise on not wearing any fake tan or heavy make up as the oils in it can stain the dresses making it hard to remove without profesional cleaning
* A trusted friend or relative for support. Its an intimate experience and too many opinions are unhelpful however well meaning.
