How far out did you buy your dress?

i believe the sizes are based off the old sizes, at least that's what i've noticed from when i used to sew. what we wear now are vanity sizes.
I've heard that as well - and I really would have been fine with their ordering a 14 (even though that number pains me!) It's that they were trying to push an 18, and we settled on a 16, and I needed to pay a huge amount to get alterations done. If I had ordered the 14 that I anticipated in the first place, I'd have saved some cash!0 -

I'm all for adopting the men's method and using measurements. That would make pants shopping so much easier! At least in the waist. Everything is still 4 inches too long on me.

My wedding is the end of May 2016 and I just purchased mine this past weekend, so about 8 months out. The bridal shop said I was cutting it REAL close!0

Just for general knowledge, I ordered my dress on September 5th. It came in on the 19th. (This is for David' Bridal).
They also set my first alterations appointment for 7 weeks before my wedding. I'm hoping to only need two (one to make adjustments and one to verify them!), but I think an emergency third could be squished in that time frame, so I'm comfortable with it.
Exactly 400 days until my wedding!0 -
Will be getting measured and placing my deposit on November 7, which is just over 10 months from the day. For my custom dress, they recommended 8 months for production, and then 2 months for alterations. I also don't live in the same city as the boutique I'll be purchasing from, so it's accounting for Saturday-only appointments.0
