1. take a trusted person

It could be the parents, the best friend or friend, the godmother, siblings or whoever else you trust for this moment. In addition to give good opinions and make you more secure in these final moments of adjustment of the dress, can still help you by taking pictures.

Of course, if you prefer or can go alone and feel good with the people who work in the workshop responsible for the dress, great. But be with someone who gives you peace of mind these days that precede the wedding, and sometimes it can be critical for you not to stress out, and to check together that everything is as it was imagined.

2. Make-up and hair test

If you can schedule the last make-up and hair test for the day of the last dress test, it’ll be perfect, because you’ll be able to see yourself ready as if it was C-day. Even if you chose a simple hairstyle for the wedding, it’s okay. Try the dress with the skin prepared and the hair too, because if you need to make some change, you still have time for it.

4. Don’t forget your shoe

This is the indispensable item for the last fitting of the dress because the professionals responsible for the model will check that the bar is at the correct height and therefore, trying on the right shoe is the guarantee to make the necessary fit. In addition, the shoe has to be comfortable and is the finishing touch to see the full look.

5. Underwear

It’s good to try on your underwear too to check that it doesn’t mark or appear with the dress. Choosing a comfortable model also makes a difference and reminds you that the wedding dress will hopefully fall off without a bra strap, for example. Taking this care so that the straps don’t appear is crucial to not cause any embarrassment during the party and in the photos.

6. Walk, sit and don’t get dirty

Enjoy being dressed as a bride from head to toe to imagine yourself at the celebration, then it is worth walk, sit, swing and even dance a little to see how the dress behaves and if you’re feeling good about him. It’s at this time of the last test that you can talk if something bothers you, so it’s important to make an appointment a week in advance, so that you have time to make the necessary adjustments to make you comfortable as well as beautiful.

Being careful not to get the dress dirty is also indispensable. They usually deliver it in a special cloak or bag if it is to be dressed at the ceremony venue, hotel or at home, then don’t put it in a place that has some risk of getting dirty or near children and pets.
