K - I got mine at Nordstrom
K- I’ve seen Spanx at Nordstroms and Saks…carry a variety of styles/colors/sizes =)
K- All department stores carry them, and Nordstrom and Bloomingdales both carry a wide variety of them. Both stores will let you try on as many as you like and have well trained people to help guide you to the right style. Hint: check both hoisery and lingerie departments for the full selection of styles.
i’m getting insurance though Wedsafe. They seem honest and have been easy to talk to with all my questions I had.
K - I find them cheap all the time at Filene’s Basement, so check discount stores like TJMaxx, Marshalls, etc.
K - I’m not sure this is the type of thing you take into a dressing room and try on. It’s more like buying stockings - height/weight = size. Nordstroms, Saks, lots of bridal salons
i was allowed to try the higher power ones on at lord & taylors.
jk- have you had any fittings at all? is it custom-made or off the rack. If off the rack, i saw you cutting it pretty close, but what can you do now? Find a seamstress who works fast and knows your timeline early on. For example my first fitting was 10 weeks before wedding. then i had 2 more.
k - bloomindales has em’
I got mine directly through rvnuncio(sp?) Fireman’s fund. Its not as easy to wade through as the wedsafe website. I was still able to talk to someone about questions and it was cheaper!

jk - I got mine off the rack and had my first fitting on June 2nd and I have my final fitting today (June 29th) - didn’t really have to do much to it - just hemmed the bottom and created a bustle though. Everything else fit perfectly.
jk- also, if you’re getting the dress just 4 weeks before the wedding, you shouldn’t need multiple alterations. I wouldn’t think your weight would fluctuate too much in 1 month to be worth altering it more than once.
k - you can buy spanx at Nordstrom and online, I’ve also seen it at Nordstrom rack. Target also carries “assets” which is a less expensive version by the same maker.
K - there was a recent posting on this; type “spanx” into the new google search bar at the top of this page.
I’m going to a wedding next Saturday and I know the bridesmaids are wearing sage. Can I wear a green colored dress it is the same shade as the Weddingbee font color?
My gown came in less than four weeks before the wedding–it was a week late. What we did was put me in for the first available fitting date. I had to take some time off work, but I had no choice, I needed my gown. Luckily, my dress was perfect, I didn’t need alterations! (I ordered a hollow to hem measurement so no hemming needed.) So I think it depends on the amount of alterations, and how busy your seamstress tends to be. I suggest you figure this out before the gown comes in, by trying on the sample again, if needed. Good luck!
E - you’ll be fine. 
Anyone know a website that has reasonably priced birdcage veils? Do you think it’d be easy to make?
Abi - I like the veils at this etsy store, and I bet the artist would be willing to custom make one for you. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=22504
