Dress deposit?

I went dress shopping for the first time today, and they stated a 50% deposit. I believe that was across the board for all dresses.

I can't really help with bm dresses as I got mine from ASOS. When I ordered my dress I also put down a 50% deposit

50% deposit is standard, I believe. I have just had a look at your signature and see you are getting married this October. There may be an issue with lead times if you are ordering brand new, and a (cheaper and quicker) option would be to alter the sample dress if possible.

Mine was a 50% deposit

I paid a 50% deposit on my wedding dress and a £50 deposit on each bridesmaid dress.

Whoops, it was this October but we pushed it back a year, I forgot to change it in my signature. Okay thanks guys, so I'm looking at a £650 deposit most likely, more than I was hoping but not undo-able.
