Does this sound right or a bit extreme?

I ordered my wedding dress March 2006 and I just called to find out if it was in yet (mind you I still have pleanty of time so I'm not panicked). The woman checked the order status and said it's not due to come in until June!!!

15 months for a wedding dress to come in? The woman said it was normal for this desiner (Demetrios). What do you guys think?

UPDATE:

So I called Macy's again and asked why there was such a hold up. They said they put down that my wedding was August 25 and that they don't have the room in their facility to hold dresses for very long. So the warehouse will ship the dress to them about 2 months before the 'wear date' and that's why it won't be in this Macy's until June. Phew!!!

I think they probably order it later because your wedding is not till October.

I order my first dress from there and its suppose to be here in February and I order it in August. I would just speak to a manager and make sure that it was ordered, to be on the safe side.

IMO I would call and see why its taking that long. When you ordered it, did they tell you that it would be ordered right away or would they wait?

they probably put off making your dress since it was ordered so far in advance. Getting it 4 months in advance is still more than enough time though

That's probably what happened. My dress came in 5 weeks before my wedding. I had a short engagement too and ordered my dress less than 6 months before.

so glad to hear that you know what is going on now! what a sigh of relief!!

I was just thinking about when my Demetrios will get here...I cannot wait!! I told them my wedding date was 12/8/07 instead of the 29th.
