How long do bridesmaid's dresses take to be made?

I'm getting married early June and have been told the latest I can order is end of Jan - that's for Dessy and AA. Could you look at a loose-fitting style, kind of Grecian, so it has some leeway in it for a bump? I'd perhaps pop into a local store and ask for advice, there might be some styles that would be easier to adapt than others or something like that? x

Forever Yours take 12 weeks but can do a rush order in 8 weeks (but costs more).

Ordered my BMs' Alfred Angelos on 25th September and they arrived mid-December so three months is really cutting it too fine IMHO, especially as you need to allow time for alterations too.

Would suggest you look into styles that will cater for changing bump sizes if she is going to be pregnant still at the wedding date, e.g. empire-line dresses. Alfred Angelo also do maternity versions of a lot of their dresses - have a look on the website.

Obviously you can get a rush order as MrsB mentions on most dresses but there is a premium to pay.

Mine are romantica, i ordered them in November and they are due to be here in March.

Hi there,

I am a Hitched supplier and my company makes fantastic bridal and occasional wear.

We make beautiful bridesmaids dresses and are able to accommodate shorter notice than most of the high street shops and especially for a fellow Hitcher. Please have a look at our website for some pcitures of actual dresses we have made for clients.

Thanks for the advice everyone, 'tis much appreciated. I'll have a chat with some of the dress shops - those who don't have a "you can only buy a bridesmaid dress if you buy a wedding dress" policy on their site!

Have just ordered Alfred Angelo ones for my daughetrs wedding and have been quoted May for delivery!
