Is it possible to get a dress with less than 5 months to the wedding?

I'd say DB I know they often have big discounts

I would say DB or AA, smaller places take around 6 months usually.

I just bought a sincerity bridal gown off the rack for about that. It was reg. 1300 I think, but i got a discount for it being a sample

I would look for boutiques in your area that may have sample sales going on that you would be able to take home that day.

You can try Davids as well but you may have to pay a rush fee.

I went to David's Bridal and left with my dress that day. It just depends what you want and it they have your size

My wedding is 10 days away and I realized I hate my wedding dress yesterday morning! I had a melt down and then called up my bestfriend and we hit the bridal shops. I was able to find my dream dress for $1030 and they are shipping me a new one which will arrive at the end of the week and then alterations will be done next week!

As long as the ladies at the shops know your timeline, you'll be fine!

I am beyond thrilled to have found my dream dress!

Good luck!!!

It depends where you go and what you pick. My dress takes 8 months to come in. You can try Davids bridal or a smaller boutique and ask about off the rack options. Good luck!!

Also, don't rule out non-wedding dress dress shops. It's completely possible.

Indeed it is... I found my two dresses I adored them both for under 1000...you may have to look a lot but don't shy away from pre worn or non boutique places.

Preownedweddingdresses.com or David's Bridal! I got my dream dress just a week ago and my wedding is October 1st

You're my wedding date twin, OP!

I'm going to order my dress from BHLDN.com. I think PP's have mentioned that they have several under $1000.

If it makes you feel better, I haven't ordered mine yet because I was trying to lose some weight. But, I'll be placing my order in about 2 weeks.

Modcloth, Azazie.

You can totally do this.

I got mine from BHLDN just 4 months before my wedding.

A friend of mine got married last year and got her dress from David's Bridal... It took two weeks for her to get her dress in. I'd say every situation is different but you might still have plenty of time.

My dress came from DB also came in 3 weeks. I think 5 months is plenty of time depending on designer. Start looking around and you'll find something.

I got my dress from Alfred Angelo after 3 1/2 months...it depends on the store, the popularity of the style, etc.

My sister's first dress got majorly messed up by her seamstress and at the last minute (2 days before) she decided to just go in and pick up a dress off the rack and had them do an emergency hem job. Totally possible, she also got it for under $1000 because it was a sample.

It is possible, however you may have limited options so keep that in mind.

I got my dress used on eBay. After losing too much weight that the sundress I bought looked like a sack. I had alterations done in 1 week and cleaning and pressing will be done on Wednesday. My wedding is on Saturday. I am darn lucky.

Check out Alfred Angelo. They have several dresses that are eligible for rush. I didn't need to order rush, but my dress still came in 2 months.
