I must admit before my sister got married I had no idea you had to buy the dress so far in advance, it never occurred to me. I guess I thought you just went out to a shop and they'd have different sizes and you'd just buy it!

[@brandywineblogger1411]

Big wakeup call when I got married just 12-1/2 years ago. Went to David's Bridal. I'm an easy size 10-12, but they said I was a 14! Then they put tucks in the bodice, had to do a hem (all layers) and finally sew in hooks and eyes to drape up the short train for the reception....I should have bought a $5. rhinestone brooch at Target. The price of my alterations was almost half the price of the gown if I remember. I realized then that the wedding business is a racket.

[@maureenpike1035]

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@brandywineblogger1411 Omg….bless your naive naive heart lol. Your size in wedding dresses is going to be different than regular clothes because it’s a completely different thing. Yes you need alterations on a wedding dress because the same wedding dress in the same size will look and fit different based on your body. It’s not a racket. It’s just how it is with wedding dresses. And no duh they’re not going to have wedding dresses available on the rack in every size. It’s a wedding dress. It’s not a tank top at Forever 21.

[@karenpage5674]

The only alteration my dress needed was hemming $640 for dress $55 to hem. Make them measure and demand to see size chart for brand.

[@lilolmecj]

IF you are an 8-10, or 16 you can find a dress off the rack. My daughter is between 8-10 and she moved her wedding up and only had 3 weeks lead time. She ordered one online, a Maggie Soterro and got it altered locally with time to spare. But if you fall outside that it could be difficult. Like someone above said David’s carries a lot of in stock sizes.

[@gardenplots283]

Kleinfeld's own website says alterations are done on a 2-3 month schedule once the dress comes in so there is no way to get the dress made, delivered to the store and have it altered in 3 months.

[@graceaxisa4213]

I wonder if they meant that they can make a dress in her given size, minus the fine-tuned alterations?

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

Where I live, shops that sell well known designer dresses all have in writing on their website when making an appointment that it can take 6 to 9 months for a dress to come in and then you need at least 3 months for alterations.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

@@graceaxisa4213 High end designer dresses by all shops that sell them take 6 to 9 months to come in and then you need a couple months out for alterations. If she had gone to a shop that sells dresses made in china or not well know designer dresses, then only take a few weeks to come in, like 5 to 6 weeks. It depends on where to shop and what they sell.

[@MsJubjubbird]

you can pay a rush fee. Plus probably less alterations will be needed if it's only ordered a few months in advance because there's less time for the body to change.

[@marysheffield190]

Why do people get surprised how hard it is to find a dress when they just give themselves a couple months? And that rush fee is going to be very pricey!

[@ladymassive7580]

Because it's plain ridiculous. Just get a damn white dress and get married. The amount of money and drama people put into this event is insane. If you Americans would the same effort in your political system and your own private finance management, you'd be much better off than you currently are. This is just pathetic.

But if she's happy, that's all that matters and she looked really happy!

the fact that 4 months isn't enough time to buy a dress is crazy also the fact she waited last minute to buy the dress is crazy. LIKE SHE WAS ENGAGED FOR 3 YEARS AND NOW DECIDED TO BUY A DRESS

[@thehungrygoldfish]

It takes time to make a wedding dress. Buying a wedding dress is not the same thing as buying a shirt. You can’t just buy it off the rack and expect it to fit you perfectly. You still have to do alterations even if you get it ordered. So getting one off the rack would mean even more alterations and more time and money.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

Many years ago, you only needed to go gown shopping 2 or 3 months out and that even gave time for alterations, but not anymore. 6 to 9 months is the new normal.

[@MsJubjubbird]

I know a year in advance. Which means your tastes or body shape could have totally changed by the time the wedding rolls around

[@kno3730]

I’m tripping on engaged for 3 years yet waiting 4 months before the wedding to buy a dress! She probably didn’t think the wedding was even going to happen 😂

[@brockreynolds870]

4 MONTHS is last minute? Why can't these wedding dress manufacturers do something in a decent length of time? I ordered custom FURNITURE and it arrived in 12 weeks.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

There’s a difference though. There is usually no fixed date for furniture. There’s no urgency. You can wait however long it takes for it to be finished. The problem with a wedding dress is there is a fixed date. It must be shipped and altered before your wedding. That’s why the extra time is needed because there is less leeway in terms of time.

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

If you buy a dress made in China you will have it in a few weeks, but not high end designer dresses. They are all hand made to order and some materials are from other countries and production has been a mess since the pandemic.

bro i can't with the brides that wait so long haha 😭

[@MrsBrit1]

I still don't understand why it takes so long to order a dress these days. I ordered my dress without ever even seeing it in person because the bridal boutique didn't have that style and I had it in maybe 6 weeks. It shouldn't take any longer than that to get in a dress that isn't an all hand beaded, special ordered, and/or bespoke gown, which would take longer. 6-9 months is insanity.

[@lamarasawyer850]

I take it u aren't all that tall, are u?

[@Cloudyconfusion]

Yeah I really don’t understand why wedding dresses haven’t gotten more with the times. I think that’s why David’s bridal and some stores are going out of business. My friend just got engaged and her wedding is in 2 months! 2! All her dresses were ordered online this week and she is returning the ones that didn’t work. The stores that can’t give the faster supply and demand aren’t gonna survive. Girls are okay with getting the wrong size and having it tailored locally faster if need be. I know they take time to make but they have to adapt and make styles that are faster to make because brides aren’t planning or waiting 1-2 years to get married anymore!

[@andycalimara]

My wedding dress is from Kleinfeld, and we ordered it in August. It arrived from Australia in March. It was hand-beaded. That’s why it took so long.

That is exactly what she should have done. But she would needed to have asked when booking an appointment what the turn around time was there as well since they could also be selling high end designer dresses like Kleinfeld.

[@Cloudyconfusion]

Wow that dress is stunning! It will be interesting to see what bridal shops can adapt to faster wedding dress productions! In the past 2 years my friends have all gotten married in 2-3 months, opting for online dresses that aren’t as high quality as these YET ARE IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE, people are willing to pay the same price as these gowns for faster because no one wants to wait 1-2+ years to get married anymore, it just seems silly to wait that long!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

But the problem is if you want a higher quality dress in less time, then it’ll be more money.

[@brockreynolds870]

It's just a bunch of hooey. They just don't want to pay more employees to have faster turnaround with the dresses. Bob Mackie used to design and have made completel gowns and customes for BOTH Carol Burnett show, and Sonny and Cher, and have them all done and ready in a 7 day time period. I ordered custom FURINTURE and it came in 12 weeks.

Maybe it’s just a status thing since Kleinfeld is so ‘iconic’, they only have expensive designer dresses.

In my country they’d call you absolutely crazy for buying a wedding dress even close to that price😂

[@brandywineblogger1411]

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

That is not judging, it is a fair question. IMO $3500., for a dress you only wear once is a waist of money. Unless you have money to burn and don't care about the price. I gave my daughter a budget of $2,000., and I'm sure she will find a gorgeous dress for that price.
