How long does a dress REALLY take to come in?

I went to a showcase last night and spoke with a vendor who told me that since gowns can take 4-6 months to come in, I should order 7 months in advance.

Was that a sales pitch or what? My friends who have already been through this process only had to wait 6 weeks or so before their dresses came in.

I was told it would take about 6-8 months to come in...it wound up being 7 months.

I think that no matter what kind of dress you order, designer or not, if you have to order it, it may take a while to come in.

so I should order it soon then huh?

Ok, you guys are making me really nervous. I was told 6 months, which would give me about 2 mos leeway if it was late.

What the hell do you do if your dress isn't in!?!?

Well, I ordered my dress toward the end of November and it still hasn't come in. It should be in at the end of April/beginning of May.

I think I would want something of my own. Besides, Mom offered to buy it for me. Thanks MA!

Re: How long does a dress REALLY take to come in?

it all depends on the dress & the designer...My dress took 4 months to come in & now it had to go back to the manufacturer bc they messed up on the length measurement (my dress needed custom measurements)...Iwill not have it for another 2 months
