How far in advance did you buy your dress?

I've got a fair bit of weight to lose, and didn't know how long to leave it (not getting married for 2 years) before I actually go and buy the dress that I want!

Ta for any advice

I'd start looking now so you know what you want, then buy about 6 months before. We planned our wedding in about 6 months and when I walked in the people in the shop were going on and on about how late I'd left it, but my dress arrived in under 4 months (and it was about 2 weeks late) which left 2 months for alterations which is more than enough. Looking back I realise they were just trying to pressure me into buying right then and there (i.e. in their shop!)

Get married Aug next year, ordered the dress October or November last year so just over 18 months though. But I just knew my dress was the one and didn't want to risk it being discontinued.

I bought my dress in May this year and I'm getting married in June next year so will be about 13 months. Mum and I only went in to look but when you find 'the one' you know it! Was probably a good job because it's a Maggie Sottero, so won't be in the shop for at least 6 months. Should be getting it in January but then will have time to sort out shoes, etc and have any alterations done. I'm hoping to lose some weight too, but it's a lace up corset back so can be tightened up for the perfect fit. Happy dress hunting!

I get married in August 2010 and I bought my dress in February 2011. I hadn't planned on getting it so early. I'd planned to start looking for my dress in May, get it ordered by mid summer, then start looking at BM dresses. Even May (15 months before) was quite early, in my opinion, but having been engaged since March 2010, I just wanted to do something!

I ended up randomly going to a sample sale, where I bought my dress.

I ordered mine in October 2010 when I'd lost a stone. I was in between sizes & went for the smaller size & have since lost another stone & its grand - but its a lace up back which means less alterations.

Im gettin married next month.
