A couple of my bridesmaids really want to go look at dresses but it is sooo early. It would also make my life easier since i am possibly moving out of NY this spring...it would be nice to have it at least narrowed down if not decided before I move.
But are places going to think I am crazy for looking so early? Has anyone gone to look at dresses yet?

Re: Anyone gone bridesmaid dress shopping yet?
I was a bridesmaid for the FSIL a couple of year's ago. We ordered the dresses in February for a December wedding. It seemed like a reasonable amount of time. When they arrived after Thanksgiving we went for the a fitting to find out that some of us had tea length dresses and others floor length. Out of 8 bridesmaids 3 had the right dress. My thought is the sooner the better!
pssst.... By the way that dress shop is in Westbury

I'm actually going on Saturday for the first time. I'm super organized and would rather get them early and know all the girl's have them.

I'll go 1 year before, I think.
I desperately need to find a dress with 3/4 sleeves, or at least something that would look cute with a little jacket over it.
ALL of my girls are self-conscious of their arms, and want to be totally covered.

I'll go probably a year before. I'm super organized as well, but I want to get some of my payments down with my vendors, this way I don't have as much on my mind.I think I'll be fine.

Most BM dresses only take 3-5 months to order. We looked at dresses in February and the orders were placed by March. The dresses came in sometime in July. The girls had 1-2 alteration appointments. 8-9 months before is plenty of time. I wouldn't look much earlier than that.

I will probably wait till the late summer. My sister is having a baby in June and she really wants to lose some weight before we go for dresses.

I've only looked online, haven't actually got them together to do it, I think it's to early for me. Sometime during the Summer I will.... XOXOXO Kitty

Congrats unapearla!!
I have not gone yet. I probably won't go until the summer or fall when my sister is home from college. Plus, I have two cousins getting married before me that I need to go try on dresses for! But it won't hurt to look for myself when I go for them!

Re: Anyone gone bridesmaid dress shopping yet?
I am always looking to give myself an idea of what I want, but I think that you should go when you feel its good, if you want to get them now why not, the sooner you get them is one less thing to worry about, I am going in the summer for an October wedding

Re: Anyone gone bridesmaid dress shopping yet?
i think the knot recommends going 6-8 months before. I went in january for my friend's august wedding, and i think that was too much time. The dresses were in by april. I'm getting married in august and will probably go in march to make sure they have the latest styles out.
