To early to get dress?

I would say it's too soon to get a dress. I bought my dress 2 months before we booked a venue, and even that was too soon in my eyes - I also knew I wanted this dress before even trying it on, but it wasn't a Berta (which was my dream designer, so good taste!), so no where near as much money down the drain if I changed my mind. I personally would wait. Something better could come out by then.

I would not on account of what PP have said here...You have not tried it on. Seeing a dress and wearing a dress are completely different experiences. I would at least go try on dresses to get a sense of what you like on you, versus what you like in pics on models.

Also another red flag is that you do not have the money saved yet. If you cannot save/afford the dress, then I wouldn’t buy it personally. However if there is a financing plan to help you pay it at low/no interest for a set term and you’re able to reasonably pay it off in that time frame, then maybe. But otherwise I would try on dresses first, save and buy the dress when you can afford it.

As far as the price goes I think looking at dress resale sites would be a good option especially with it being from an older collection. I bought my dress 2 years before my wedding and I don't regret it one bit especially since the dress I chose had very limited availability by the time it was "appropriate" to buy a dress (yes, I looked at it online constantly even after I bought it). The biggest thing I struggled with was my weight fluctuating. After I bought the dress a gained a significant amount of weight, about 25 pounds, which I knew I'd gained some, but when I tried the dress on in spring it didn't zip all the way. I've had to work really hard since then to track the calories I'm taking in and I've worked out some, but my dress fits perfectly now and I get to pick it up form alterations on Friday. All-in-all I don't regret getting my dress early because I love it just as much as the day I bought it, if not more

1. I wouldn't even consider buying a dress before trying it on. You may love the style, but the style may not love you.

2. 3 years may be a little too early, I know you said you absolutely love this style but so many other styles can come and what if you have dress regret

3. Sizing... 3 years is a long time to be ensured you're stay the same size.

If you hands down feel like you can't live without the dress, by all means buy it, but definitely take into considerations that there may just be another dress out there for you
