I found it in March of 2009. We ordered it then. My wedding isn't til Nov 2010. My order was placed in late spring, and my dress will be in July 2010 for fittings.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553414 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:29:33 +0000 meliss 553414@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I truly believe it's a scare tactic telling people "you're running out time, takes 8-10 months, order quickly!" in order to put pressure on the customer and make a sale. I bet if you went to the same store and told your wedding was in 4 months and you&nbsp;want to buy&nbsp;one of their dresses, they'd magically make it happen. Of course sometimes that magic comes in the form of a "rush fee" which I also think is bogus.</p> <p>I asked the store where I bought mine if a rush fee will be necessary and the salesgirl told me "no, we'll just charge you a $150 rush alterations fee on top of the standard $500 when it arrives". LOL, thanks for telling me, now I'll be sure to take my dress somewhere else for alterations.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553406 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:21:15 +0000 Steenie 553406@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I just got mine today from Jessica McClintock! I ordered it the beginning of this month.&nbsp; Was not expecting it until end of Janurary.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553389 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:08:32 +0000 iggies 553389@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i'm curious about this too! i tried on dresses at one place and they told me 8-10 months for a maggie, because they are so popular. i felt so nervous because my wedding is 8 months away now! i couldn't believe when the saleswoman said that girls are going in more than a year before their wedding buying dresses! i ended up buying a cosmobella (from dimitrios) from another salon, they said it should take 6 months max. it made me feel so much better! haha.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553244 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:45:22 +0000 prettyflowers 553244@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Mine is Casablanca. The store told me it would take ~7 months to come in.&nbsp; That seems awfully long.&nbsp; I feel like maybe they just use all the time allowed before your wedding, because they know my wedding date isn't for 3 months after that.&nbsp; I wonder if I said I was getting married six months from now if they'd magically be able to have my dress before then?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553123 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:51:25 +0000 twalila 553123@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>The shop I've been using in NYC said they can get anything within 4 months and to allow 2 months for alterations.&nbsp; I haven't ordered anything yet and as of Jan 3rd, I'll be at exactly 6 months so I *hope* they really mean it!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-553106 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:41:08 +0000 littlebug 553106@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I ordered a Maggie in early June, it came in early December. :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-451802 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:17:18 +0000 CarrieAnne 451802@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm at 5 months (a Paloma Blanca)... and no sign of it yet!&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-for-your-dress-to-come-in#post-451796 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:10:26 +0000 JoJo Bananas 451796@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my private label by g gown was supposed to be in within 4-6 months. &nbsp;2 months after ordering i was told it would be in at 6 months. and then it ended up being a month late. so 7 months for me.</p>
