Timeline for ordering dress??

Hey ladies,

I am trying to figure out a time line here and was wondering if you can help me out w/ all your experience...

I am on WW and I am trying to lose 50lbs before I start to seriously dress shop. I know if I go now I will hate the way they look on me and it will be a waste of time.

My question is, if I go shopping in February, do you think 7 months is enough time to order a dress for my wedding in October???

TIA.......

Honestly it depends on the designer. You may be asked to put it in as a rush order.

i think you should have enough time...as long as you're not looking into a couture gown or something very intricate

but you can try a few dresses on just for the heck of it! i'm plus sized myself, and thought the same thing...'i'll never find anything at my current weight that i think looks good on me.' and low and behold--i did!

good luck!

Thanks..........

I have an idea of what I want and I think I going to try gownfind first..

it started out as a website (www.gownfind.com), and it still is a website, but now the owner has a location in dix hills as well. you can either go to her store and look at the dresses she has - regular designer dresses. or you can go elsewhere to try on dresses and if you find one you love, you can call her and see if she can get it for you for a cheaper price. she can't get everything, but it's always worth a shot.

i did the latter - i found my dress at kleinfeld's and then called her to see if she could get it and she was able to do so. saved me about 50%!!!! no kidding. it was just ordered about 2 weeks ago, so i haven't received it yet, but the price was great.

other liw brides have used her - sometimes goes by phyllis at gownfind. most have great experiences, some not so great. but it's a good way to save some $$$.

50% off...that's AMAZING!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info...I will definately be checking this place out!

Could you possibly give me an address in Dix Hills for gownfind...or if you don't have an address just around where it is. THANKS!!!!!!!

NP!! HTH.

That should be plenty of time to order a dress.

50 pounds is a lot of weight to lose. Try to be healthy about it.

I think you'll be fine if you order in Feb!
