How long did it take for your dress to arrive?

Mitty13, 5 June, 2012 at 17:45 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi just need a little advice...

I bought my wedding dress Aug 2011, and got told it would be in March 2012. That time went so I called them to be toldthat my veil is in but my dress still isn't, got told not to worry as I have plenty of time (getting married 18th Aug) and that my dress will be in may/ june. I have still not heard from them so planning on calling tom, just wanted to know if this is normal before I rant at them on the telephone.

    They 6-9 months I think, sometimes less sometimes more.

    I ordered mine beginning August 2011 and was told 6 months (so end feb) it arrived end December, just lucky I think. I think by now I would be badgering them!

    I ordered mine in December, was told it would be in by June and it ended up arriving in February!

    I'd definitely be pestering them /ranting about it now!

    What??!! The suppliers I stock are all 12-16 weeks so this seems a little excessive to say the least! Sometimes if you miss a deadline for order it gets added on to the following months order but that still only adds 3 weeks. What designer is your dress?

    My shop ordered mine to arrive 8-10 weeks before my wedding so I could have the first fitting 8 weeks before. So for 18th Aug, I'd expect a call in the next fortnight. But as your shop originally said March 12, I'd definitely give them a ring.

    I ordered mine well over a year ago, had measurements done in Feb and made the final order, and was told it would come into the shop 4 weeks before the wedding ready for any adjustments. I did say at the time how last minute that was, but the shop said that was the way they always do it, otherwise they have hundreds of dresses just sitting around! If you are unsure ask, but I am sure it will all be fine, I am not panicking about mine yet and my date is just before yours...though if they don't get in touch to arrange a fitting as soon it turns July then I will start worrying!

    I ordered mine in January and it came in last Tuesday so it was the predicted 16 weeks.
