Advice needed! How long did it take for your David's Bridal bridesmaid dresses to come in?

Amanda, on March 1, 2013 at 1:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

I'm a BM in a friend's wedding at the end of May. I ordered my dress from David's Bridal online and it looked like a hot mess. So I returned it and have an appointment in-store to find a new BM dress this weekend. Will it get here in time?

Rant: it's REALLY frustrating that some dress styles are available online but not in-store and vice versa. The nearest DB is an hour away from my house. Ain't nobody got time for that.

That is all!

    David's quoted all of my bridesmaid's 12 weeks. They had their ordered in by February 2 and none have come in yet.

    I ordered online and had it within a week. Mine all came in looking fine and fit good.

    3 weeks would be great; 12 weeks obviously won't make the cut. I wonder if they offer rush ordering?

    @Brandi, the dress I ordered online did ship quickly! I had it within 3-4 days. It just looked absolutely awful. There's a color/length/fabric/style requirement, so the only available option left is in-store only, unfortunately.

    I just ordered my WEDDING dress and they said it would be in by April so I feel like you should be good.

    My BM dresses came in 3-4 weeks. One of those came in the wrong color - the replacement dress took another 3 weeks.

    However, my JUNIOR BM dress took 4 months - they said it was a "unique" color..Pewter..so it took longer.

    My gown arrived in two weeks, all my bridesmaids' dresses were at the store within 10 days. You should be OK.

    Okay glad to see lots of short turn-around times! We didn't have direction on BM dresses until the end of January, so it was bound to happen.

    I have been in 4 wedding that used DB dresses... one took 2 months, two took about 3 weeks, and the last one literally took A DAY (this was the only one I ordered online).

    I ordered my wedding dress at David's Bridal and it just came in the other day. They told me it could be up to 2 months but it got here in closer to 2 weeks! I think you'll be fine

    Like 1.5 weeks, no joke! Super fast, but of course they told me it would take 12 weeks.

    I hope your experience gets better, DB is so hit or miss!

    My BM dress for my brother's wedding last September was David's Bridal.

    They quoted like 3 months for it to come in. It came in in only 10 days.

    I will never never never order from Davids Bridal again. We ordered our BM dresses on May 9th 2014 and are still being told they will not arrive until Aug 1st (wedding is August 8th). They say they will only hold dresses for 21 days after they are received at the store. On June 30th they called to ask me when I was coming to pick up my (the brides dress) because it had been there 21 days already. It was really nice that no one bothered to call me to tell me that it had ever came in. On top of that, when I was in the store they had my dress in a sample that fit perfectly. They told me that since it was a sample and had been tried on the one I received would probably be tighter or fit a little smaller as the sample was probably stretched out. When I got it it fit perfect everywhere except the bodice which is about 2-3 sizes too big and no I didn't lose any weight. I did not opt for them to alter it, I have hired someone else to fix it. I don't know where the dresses are coming from but it should not take 12 weeks even if they are shipping it over from China. They are not outsourcing grandma's who are sitting at home to make them to order by hand. They also are trying to tell me that 2 of the dresses are a special order color - rosewood and that none of the 4 dresses were available to order online and we were not offered any rush shipping in the store. I call every Friday and they tell me that they are not even showing as being "put on the truck for delivery".
