Planning your dream wedding? One of the most important (and exciting!) parts of the process is finding the perfect bridal gown. However, many brides don’t realize just how long it can take to order a wedding dress and complete alterations. If you're unsure about timelines or need a gown quickly, don't worry - Jayne’s Bridalwear has you covered with our stunning collection of off-the-peg gowns that you can take home the same day! Read on to discover everything you need to know about bridal gown lead times and why off the rack wedding dresses could be your perfect solution.
Guide to Bridal Gown Lead Times
Ordering Your Dream Dress (6-8 Months Before the Wedding)
Most designer wedding dresses are made to order, meaning they are not pre-made and ready to wear. Once you choose your gown, it typically takes 6 to 8 months for it to arrive in-store. This timeline accounts for production, shipping, and quality control.
Pro Tip: If your wedding is within a year, start shopping as soon as possible to avoid last-minute stress!

First Fitting & Alterations (8-10 Weeks Before the Wedding)
Once your gown arrives, it’s time for your first fitting! Almost all wedding dresses require some level of alteration to ensure the perfect fit. Standard alterations include adjusting the length, taking in or letting out fabric, and customizing details.
Pro Tip: Book your alterations early! Seamstresses can get busy, especially during peak wedding season.
Second & Final Fitting (2-4 Weeks Before the Wedding)
At your second fitting, your seamstress will ensure that all alterations have been completed and the gown fits flawlessly. A final fitting may be necessary for any last-minute tweaks.
Pro Tip: Bring your wedding shoes and accessories to your fittings to ensure a cohesive look!
