How long did you wait for your dress?

adgabe, 31 October, 2014 at 13:29 Posted on Planning 0 11

Hi all!

Just a quick questions really... I chose my dress a while back and was told at the bridal store that, as it is made to order, it would take around 16 weeks to be ready.

I am not panicking (yet) as the wedding is not until April 2015, but was wondering if this seems like an awful long time, or if it is about right.

By my calculations we reached 16 weeks this week, btw.

I had hoped that it would be here by tomorrow, as it is my birthday and it would have been awesome to have it by then! ?

As always, thank you for your thoughts!

Andrea de Gabriel

    I was told 6-8 months for mine, which I think is pretty normal. 16 weeks is quite quick!

    I ordered mine in April or May of this year and it won't be in the shop until January or February.

    Happy Birthday for tomorrow!!!

    I was told 24 weeks at the bridal shops I visited, but opted for a ex-sample dress in the end.

    Thank you, ladies!

    I am now getting some perspective on this ?

    I thought 4 months was a loooong time. It appears I was mistaken!

    Thank you all for your insights and the birthday wishes too!

    After reading your replies I feel that 4 months is not unreasonable...

    I will give it another 2 weeks or so before calling the shop!
