How long before your wedding did you buy your dress?

I have 13 months before my wedding and am just beginning my dress hunt. Just wondering how long before your wedding did you buy your dress? Then how much longer until it arrived and you had your final fittings?

    My wedding is in October and I got mine in January. But I was told about 4-5 months for it to come in. I got mine so soon because it was the only time my Mom would be around to come and I was crazy about thinking it wouldn't come in time lol

    I purchased my dress 15 months before my wedding. I had my first fitting this past Friday and im still in love with my gown. I'm extremely happy that I purchased so ar out because a lot of the gown designes have changed.

    So, I purchased it in Feb 2011 and it arrived July 2011

    I got engaged this past February, and my wedding is in May of 2013. My mom, MOH, and SIL are all very excited to go dress shopping. I keep telling them that I don't have the time right now and it is too soon. I will probably begin shopping in July, which is 10 months out.

    My 1st dress I bought before he actually got down on one knee with ring, we new we were getting married and I found a good deal so I bought it, that was approx 13 months ago. My 2nd dress which I will wear for the ceremony, I purchased about 2 months ago, wedding in 6 months, I decided the first dress will be my TTD.
