What was your Wedding gown turnaround time? Help!

I found my dres 2/19 and it was in 6/11. I was originally told it would be here in mid-July. I will be picking in up this weekend so not sure on alterations yet. I have been told, depending on how complicated the dress is and how busy your seamstress is at the time, it could be 1 week to 2 months.

I ordered my dress on Black Friday and it came in at the beginning of February BUT, my gown was a part of a trunk show where the designer was testing out the market for the gown. My bridal shop said that my timing and the fact that my size was a common sample size were probably related to the fast turnaround time. Also, remember that in can really vary between designers.

In any case, you'll have plenty of time between when your gown comes in and your wedding date!

6 months- for my alterations she only needed me to come in 6 weeks before and she is having them done in about three weeks.

12 days, but I ordered from David's Bridal and it was in stock.

I picked and ordered dress in Feb...it arrive late May so about 3 months.

I ordered mine in September of 2013, came in January, i was expecting it in March.

I ordered mine in the middle of January, a mere 2 weeks after getting engaged. They told me it would come in the first week of july. I still don't have it. I'm hoping it will come in even a week early, but it is not looking good at this point.

8 months.... 2 months of alterations (can't wait to pick up my gown!)

@kristy w I hope your dress comes in soon did you call the salon?

Thank ladies for the help! I've herd so many stories of people not getting their dress in the time promised! Ahhh I hope mine comes in when promised!

I ordered 4/24 and got the call last week it is in. Need to get alterations done still so we'll see what turnaround time on that is. They said their first available fitting appt was 7/15. My dress is a David Tutera I ordered from a local bridal salon so kind of surprising it didn't take that long.

Mine took a little more than 6 months.

The Chinese New Year affects dresses ordered in the fall/winter because the factories/dress makers close for a year.

If you order in the spring/summer, this shouldn't be an issue. At least, this is what I have been told...

I ordered mine in October and it came in April 20th or so. I had my first fitting Mid May. It came from a designer in Australia so i took a while.

I ordered 01/02 and my dress came in first week of may, so it came in 5wks early. However my bridesmaids dresses are still outstanding. They are not due to come in until 3rd week of july

Mine took 6 months to come in. Alterations took about a month.

I ordered my dress in July and was told end of November but it had arrived in Mid October!

My dress came in 3 months and alterations took about 3 months

I ordered mine on January 17th and it came in on May 23rd...I went for my first fitting on May 31st and my next fitting is July 25th...

They told me it could be up to 6 months. She came in around 5 months, then a month in alterations.

I ordered mine at the end of May and it is supposed to be in at the end of July.

I ordered mine May 20th and was told it would be here second week of january.
