How long did your dress take to come in?

Victoria, on March 7, 2017 at 12:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 131

How long did your dress take to come in, once you ordered it? I've heard from some people that it's 2 months and from others that it's 6-8 months.

    I think mine took 3 months. It was supposed to take 5. I was so annoyed it came in early. HaHa!

    ETA- it was actually 4 months and it's a Maggie Sottero.

    It depends on the designer! Most shops will tell you to allot at least 6 months for your dress to come in, but I've heard that places like David's Bridal are much faster.

    I was told 6 months but my dress came in closer to 4.5 months! (Hayley Paige)

    Mine took 3 weeks. It all depends on the designer and where you buy it from.

    Ordered September 2, was told beginning of March, came in first week of January. It was WTOO, and I was pissed and excited it came early (got the dress a few hours drive and needed to plan a weekend to pick it up, rather than when I was planning to based on their original delivery date).

    7 months. Ordered last June, came in late January. For reference, it is an Essense of Australia and had to be ordered hollow-to-hem because the bottom can't be hemmed and they make the dresses SUPER long.

    I ordered mine in November and it came in at the the end of January. I was told it would come in in April but it shipped early! It's a Maggie Sottero.

    Mine took 1 month. I held on to it from September to January. From January to March it was with the alterations department and I finally picked it up on March 3rd.

    They told me 6 months when I ordered in October. When I picked out my veil I was given a ship date of April 17! Getting antsy lol

    Mine took 3, but when I ordered they said it could take up to 6. Once they actually placed the order they got an estimate from the designer on how long it would take and it was pretty accurate (they said mid December and it came towards the end)
