bhldn Wedding Dress on back-order

Check sites like poshmark or ebay- i see people selling bhldn gowns all the time. Also did you try calling bhldn to see if they potentially have the dress in store? They have locations in nyc and a few other larger cities.

Thanks Laura - but unfortunately it is a brand new dress that just went on sale in January so I've checked on the second hand sites and there are none there. Also tried calling BHLDN but they said no stores have any inventory (aside from their sample dress which they won't sell)

Ayyy! This is a tough one. Sorry Lisa, this is aggravating, especially after having picked it out!

I love BHLDN (also a BHLDN bride) and you picked such a lovely dress. I was enthused to learn they started their own line! I particularly like how it's understated, the style and placement of lace/appliques.

If you've already called them/showed up to one of their locations/ and can't nab one, see if you can be waitlisted in some way— if they got a surprise inventory of a certain size that they would get in contact with you immediately.

Otherwise/alternatively I would suggest looking for others that are similar— to at least try on and to make sure this is the style you love. I totally understand if you're picking and going with it, that was actually my process when getting my dress.

Here are a few that definitely are not what you originally fell for but might be close in style and price point— Strapless, sweetheart neckline, a-line/column/sheath with cascading appliques/lace/tulle

Hope this helps!

If all else fails theres a company named DressAnomalie that does custom dresses based on your inspiration. You could have one made by them or a boutique that will be made to your measurements instead of having alterations afterwards.

Thank you Jeanelle, this is all very helpful info!

Thanks Sophie!
