Dress shopping during Coronavirus outbreak.

Depending on the designer of the dress, it takes 4-6 months for a dress to come in upon ordering (during normal circumstances). Alterations take a couple of months. In my case, my alterations will need to be completed in August in order for me to take my bridal portraits for my October wedding. SO I'll need to begin the alteration process in July. This would put me at ordering my dress in January (10 months before the wedding) at the latest (I actually ordered mine at the end of September). I couldn't tell you how backed up production is and we have no idea how long this will all last. Personally, I'd go and see if you can find something. With everyone's weddings being cancelled, I foresee all vendors (dress producers, seamstress, etc) being backed up once this is all over. Don't be pressured to buy something you don't love but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to narrow down the style of dress you want.

I just wanted to comment that if going to David's Bridal they sent out an email this morning that they are closing there stores for walk-ins and appointments right now. I'm not sure if that's where you are going. But the email said they would in contact with those who have appointments.

Yeah mine ended up in promotions. But hopefully they do.
