dress fitting

Trying on alterations

A dress fitting is an appointment where a garment is tried on and adjusted to fit the wearer's body.

Common before weddings, formal events, or when having clothes custom-made, fittings involve a tailor or seamstress pinning, marking, and altering the garment: She has her final dress fitting next week.

Multiple fittings may be needed to achieve the right fit.
