When did you order your wedding dress?

My wedding is 5 months away and I have had 3 appointments and not found anything. I’m so worried.

Looking for reassurance.

Im not looking for anything super custom/over the top. Happy either way off the shelf

2 months before the wedding ... I am a very last minute person. Dress was fully custom made in Vietnam and shipped to me.

Got exactly what I wanted. A perfect fit and very cost effective!

Pls can you post a link to the company you used?

Just buy one off the peg/ex sample/secondhand. Wedding dress prices are a con - they lose 90% of their value the instant you buy them. You could pick up a dress secondhand for a fraction of what they cost new and it will only have been worn once, or sometimes not at all and there's no waiting time.

I have no problem with doing this, just struggling to find anything I like

7 weeks before I just bought off the rail

I’m so stressed right now my brain has stopped working. By off the rail do you mean you just picked one out that was on the shop floor?

About nine months beforehand is when I chose it. Picked it up about a month before. Now listed on vinted 😂. I did get married in it btw.
