My dress won't be here until two weeks before my wedding!

Melissa, on August 10, 2017 at 5:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

I just talked to the owner of the bridal salon I just purchased my dress from to ask about when my dress will be arriving and it won't be here until the middle of October! I'm so freakin nervous! I didn't think it would be so last minute. Thank god I ordered it custom length so the only alterations I will be needing is adding my bustle and maybe a few stitchings here and there. She assured me that it will be here on time so I'm truly hoping she is right. ... how soon did u ladies receive ur dress?? I'm really trying not to think about it being late or lost last minute!

    Don't even worry about it! Call your seamstress or whoever is doing your alterations and let them know and prepare. My wedding is 8/26 and I'm picking mine up Sunday and she still may need to do more alterations! Don't fret, they won't leave SOL

    My wedding is November and ordered my dress June 3rd (we decided to have a wedding the end of may). So maybe it isn't that bad that it only takes 4 months but two freakin weeks before! Ahhhh!

    Mine was supposed to come 3 weeks before my wedding as well and I was silently freaking out about that.. my salon called me last month to tell me it came early and I was so happy! Hopefully that happens for you too!

    Hey date twin! I went in February and purchased my dress and when they said it would take 6-8 months to come in I about passed out, but it came in late July thankfully and I will have it altered later this month! Hopefully whatever alterations you need will be minor and everything will work out great! Smiley smile

    When did you order it? I ordered mine in May (Allure Bridal gown) and I just got the call today that it arrived. Just say positive and relax. I'm sure it will arrive on time Smiley smile

    I ordered in June, had a late August delivery date and it came in early July (David's Bridal). Same thing happened with a couple of bridesmaids dresses (different weddings). I hope, for peace mind, your dress comes in earlier than expected.

    Oh no! Hopefully they can get it sooner.

    I ordered mine in March and they told it would be in by July. No call yet Smiley sad I have plenty of time but I'm ready to see it!

    I ordered mine in december and was told April throigh July is when it would arrive. It arrived in April.

    I was also told my bridesmaids dresses would be late, we did order them later than I wanted. We ordered them by the middle of May and was told late September. I picked them up Monday.

    Hopefully your bridal salon runs like mine did and ended up being earlier on all the dates.

    Ordered mine in December and got it in May. They said it would take anywhere from 3-5 months. It took about a week over 5 months, but it was coming from Australia so that may have to do with it as well

    I ordered mine June 3rd. It's a Justin Alexander. The lady I talked to told me someone new at the factory mixed some things up and that she had to call to make sure they did it how they were supposed too. I'm guessing she's talking about having it made the correct length in all but idk. It seemed a bit confusing. I'm really hoping it is there waiting for me earlier than two weeks before my wedding! I'm more scared of it not arriving at all. Or it being made wrong. Or something that's not able to get fixed! Ugh!

    I ordered mine November 2016 (day after Thanksgiving) with a expected delivery of June 2017. The dress ended up coming in 3 months early in March 2017.

    Fingers crossed yours will come in early OP! Will the shop be doing the alterations? If not I would get someone set up ahead of time that can turn it around quickly.
