Your bridal lehenga fitting is one of the most exciting steps before your wedding. It’s where your outfit starts taking shape and every detail—from how the blouse fits to how comfortably you walk—matters.
At Fashion Autograph, every bridal lehenga is custom-designed by Naimisha Munshi, ensuring your outfit reflects your personal style and comfort. Since every design is created under the boutique’s own label, fittings are essential for achieving that perfect finish.
Here’s a practical, step-by-step bridal lehenga fitting checklist to help you prepare confidently and get the best results from your appointment.
1. Bring the Right Undergarments
Your outfit will only fit correctly if you wear the same innerwear you’ll use on your wedding day.
Why it matters: The right undergarments affect how your blouse and lehenga sit on your body. A different bra or shapewear can change measurements and alter the final fit.
What to bring:
- The bra or blouse padding you’ll wear on your wedding day.
- Shapewear or tummy tucker (if you plan to use one).
- Nude-coloured lingerie for light or pastel lehengas.
Tip: Stick to what feels comfortable for long hours.
2. Bring Your Wedding Footwear
Heel height changes the lehenga’s length and balance.
Why it matters: If you try your outfit with different shoes, your lehenga may end up too long or too short.
What to bring:
- The exact heels, wedges, or juttis for your wedding day.
- If undecided, bring a pair with similar heel height.
Tip: Walk during the fitting to check comfort and movement.
3. Bring Your Jewellery and Accessories
Jewellery affects how your blouse neckline and dupatta drape appear.
Why it matters: Heavy necklaces or earrings can alter how your blouse sits. Trying them together helps you visualise your final look.
What to bring:
- Bridal jewellery (necklace, earrings, bangles).
- Maang tikka or matha patti.
- Nath, waist belt, and hair accessories.

Tip: Use imitation pieces if your real jewellery isn’t ready.
4. Bring a Light Makeup Kit
A light touch of makeup helps you see how your outfit complements your complexion.
Why it matters: Makeup helps you picture how your lehenga will look under natural and indoor lighting.
What to bring:
- Compact powder, lipstick, and blush.
- Small mirror and tissues.
Tip: Avoid heavy foundation to prevent stains on the fabric.
5. Bring Hair Ties or Clips
Your hairstyle affects how your dupatta drapes.
Why it matters: Brides often drape one dupatta over the head. If you’re planning an updo or bun, your stylist can check how it aligns with the drape.
What to bring:
- Hair ties, clips, or bun pins.
- A scarf to mimic veil placement.
Tip: Try a few draping styles during your fitting for the most flattering look.
6. Bring Your Inspiration Photos
Visual references make communication easy and save time.
Why it matters: You might want your dupatta draped a certain way or your blouse back designed to match your hairstyle.
What to bring:
- Photos of wedding décor, makeup ideas, or jewellery.
- Screenshots of draping styles you love.

7. Bring a Trusted Friend or Family Member
Having someone you trust can help with second opinions.
Why it matters: You may miss small details such as the way the dupatta sits at the back or the blouse fit while moving.
What to bring:
- A friend, sister, or mother who understands your preferences.
Tip: Keep it limited to one or two people to avoid confusion.
8. Bring All Lehenga Components
Your lehenga may have several parts that need to be tested together.
Why it matters: Designers check the proportions and fall of the entire outfit, not just one part.
What to bring:
- Lehenga skirt.
- Blouse (stitched or semi-stitched).
- Dupatta(s) and belt, if applicable.

9. Bring Safety Pins and a Small Sewing Kit
Quick fixes often happen during fittings.
Why it matters: Sometimes the designer will mark or pin areas that need tightening or alteration.
What to bring:
- Safety pins, spare hooks, and matching thread.
Tip: Your designer will have most tools, but carrying a small kit can save time.
10. Bring Confidence and Patience
Bridal fittings can take time, but each step ensures your outfit feels comfortable and flattering.
Why it matters: The final fit defines your comfort, posture, and confidence on your big day.
What to bring:
- A calm mindset and openness to small adjustments.
Tip: Remember, every fitting brings your dream outfit closer to perfection.
Extra Bridal Fitting Tips
A few small habits can make a big difference:
- Eat light and stay hydrated before the session.
- Schedule fittings at least 4–6 weeks before the wedding for final alterations.
- Avoid heavy perfumes that might linger on the fabric.
- Carry fabric samples if you plan to match them with your wedding décor.
