I got engaged in August 2006. Didn't start shopping until January 2007 b/c I wanted to lose weight. Officially ordered it in February 2007. The gown just came in last week!! I am getting married September 2007. I was happy that it came in so soon! It wasn't due in until the end of July! Go look and try on dresses! It's fun!

I ordered my gown about 6-7 months before my scheduled wedding date. I think that is perfect timing because I'm still in love with it-but if I ordered it a year or more before I would probably start having doubts just because I'm an indecisive person!!!!!

I lied- I just looked at my receipt and I ordered my dress in February- that would be 8 months before my big day! Either way-I still love it! It was the second thing I did after I got engaged!

I ordered in Oct. got here in Jan. I love my gown...no regrets at all....It's different, unique, no one else will have that gown because it was shipped overseas.

Ordered Feb '07, it came in at the end of May, gettin married in October.

Abbsoutely NO REGRETS!!

I was afraid of that. What I did after I 'found' it, I downloaded the picture of the front & back of the dress to my desktop at home & work & for about a month I would just click on the icons to look at it. I would do this several times a day and sometimes not at all. If at the end of the month I still loved it, I would buy it.

I ordered in the end of January for my November wedding (around 10 months before). I wanted to be 100% sure of my decision before I placed the order.

I ordered my gown approximately one year before the wedding. It came in in April, first fitting was in May.

ordered it July 27, 2006.....
it came in Feb 2007 - BUT IT WAS WRONG!!!!!

I'm soooooo glad I ordered early, because I had time to correct the mistake.

My gown came in AGAIN last week, and it is perfect. My worries are over!
