Any tips on the best way to get a dress faster? I'm thinking off the rack (rare to find my size) and expedited ordering. I am located in northern SF bay area Cali. Thanks!

    I actually found my dream dress at David's Bridal. Ordered it about 2.5 months before the wedding and still had time for alterations. It was ready a week and a half before my wedding

    Jolie-- Try out the Nordstrom in SF. They have a bridal boutique in the store and will be very realistic with you about what can & can't come in by the time you need it. Plus, they can prioritize your alterations (done in house), so that you can make your date in time. But definitely go as soon as possible, so you can have as many options as possible.

    Also, most reputable boutiques should tell you a pretty close estimate of how long it'll take to get a particular style in. When I ordered my dress, they were able to see how many were in stock at the designer's factory & know within a couple of weeks how long it would take to get to me. Good Luck girl!

    I walked out of David's Bridal with my dress. I would say that is your best bet. I know some people have been waiting a while for their designer dress so there is some truth in what they told you.
