How early did you buy your dress?

[TheWolferts]

I bought my dress in March 2011 and got married May 2012. As soon as I got my dress, I had my first fitting within a week and my last fitting was just a week before my wedding! I was starting to get nervous becuz my tailor was so precise that I actually had 5 fittings!

 

So that being said, I dont think that 11 months out is too far away at all! My dress had a corset back which meant I could fluctuate in size quite a bit, but I have also not been but 5 pounds more than what I weighed as a teenager. I would order your dress at the size you are now because they can always make a dress smaller, but if you order your dress smaller and dont get down to the size you ordered, they cant make it bigger!

Haha that's so true though! I like that analogy! :-)

They say you should buy them a minimum for six months before, and 9 months to a year is even better. Depending on the designer, it can take that long - mine took 6 months! I think you should go for it!

I ordered my dress a year in advance and it took a 5 months to arrive.

Our wedding is August 4, 2013 and I'm actually going to pick up my gown next Friday from the salon! It was a sample so I was just making payments on it, but I found her last month. I knew she was exactly what I needed! So it's definitely not too early.
