so i found the wedding dress!!! I ordered it 3 months ago... my wedding is not until next june.. when do they actually place the order???? so you think they ordered it already??
I'm sure they ordered it. Many wedding gowns take a very long time to come in. My dress was ordered the end of June and I was told it would take 8-12 months to come in...It is just over 10 months and the dress still is not in yet.
I think it also depends on the designer and how the gown is made. If it's a designer that does all of the detailing by hand, like Eve of Milady for example, it'll take much longer to come in.
I was told by my salon that the dress manufacturers do a 'cutting' about 2 - 3 times a year for all their orders. So, basically, the manufacturer will hold your order until the cut date, let's say November. Once they cut the dress, it's yours. When I bought my dress, the salon told me that if i wanted, they could find out for me when the manufacturer's cut date is, and I would have until that time to come back in for new measurements if I lost/gained weight (or I suppose to change my mind, which I don't think would happen but....). This was a salon that carries some mid-to high end dresses; but I also had a salon that carries lower end dresses tell me something similar.

Usually its about 8 months to come in. Ask the Bridal salon because every dress is different.
