    The shop didn't tell me when to expect my dress to come in and I was too excited to remember to ask. It usually takes a few months, right? I'm very anxious and it's only been one month, but I'm wondering how long it typically takes.

     

    So, how long did your's take?

    I was told 4-6 months and it ended up coming in after 7 months because the factory "was behind."

    i was told 4-6 months, but it all depends on where the dress is made, the fabric, details, etc. mine is being made in spain, so i don't anticipate getting it til july. so hard to wait though!

    I was told 4-6 and it came in in about five and a half because it's "busy season" for the factory- lots of early summer brides out there!

    I think part of it depends also with the designer you get. Mori lee I was told only 3 months. While maggie sottero the greater part of 5. I ended up having to get a petite in the maggie sottero, since it is more custom of a fit then a regular fitting dress i fear it will be longer than that! ohh my goodness its hard playing this waiting game!

    My dress is Watters and it came in after 2.5 months. I was actually really surprised. I wasn't even going to think about it until February, but it came in mid Novemeber!

    The bridal salon told me 6 months originally I think.

    I was quoted 5-6 months and it took 6.5 months. My wedding isn't for another couple months but I was worried about alterations. Luckily, it fits like a glove.

    Mine is a Lazaro and handmade so it took 7 months to come in. It just depends on who makes it and if it's handmade or machine made. Usually 1-3 or upwards to 7 or 8.

    Just call the salon and they should have no problem telling you! Dont forget that alterations can take 1-3 months, as well!

    I ordered mine in May and was told it would arrive around October I think, but then the dress went and arrived in July. So, two months.

    I know for rush delivery it takes 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately I know this from experience as I have not ordered my bridesmaid dresses yet!
