Non responsive bridesmaids

I have 5 bridesmaids total, my sister, 2 college friends who don't live close, and my fiances 2 sisters. My fiances 2 sisters aren't responding to my texts about ordering dresses (originally figured they didn't have money) but it's past the due date and my dress shop is getting concerned (they won't place the order until all bridesmaids have paid). Also my sister MOH is texting them about bridal shower ideas and isn't hearing back. She's concerned because the other 2 don't live close and would like their help with the planning. I don't see them too often or i would bring it up in person... I saw them for Memorial Day and the older sister said she planned on ordering soon but that was 10 days ago. Also texted FMIL to mention it to them and she said she would but I haven't heard back. Any advice? Trying not to be pushy but the dresses needed to be ordered like 2 weeks ago...

I'm confused, if the dresses are made to order, the alterations should be included in the timeline. I've had a custom made BM dress for a wedding. It took 4 months from start to finish and the designer was making 15 dresses in total.

Put FH on the case - at least about the dresses. Don't worry if they're not helping plan the shower or what not.

@Beatrice - yes the people the designer employs are behind. Thought that was implied that the designer doesn't sew her own dresses, but they have too many orders to complete in normal time frames...
@JessieJV - the alterations are done in the dress shop, the dresses are made to order but not made to size. So they order a size 10, for example, based on measurements, and it is currently taking 5 months to get to dress shop and then dress shop takes it in, which they said they need 1-2 months to do. It is a little dress shop with one seamstress.
