Bridesmaid Dress Question

krissylee3

So, should I be concerned....?

My wedding is in November.  I was planning on putting in the orders for the bridesmaid dresses by next week (just waiting on a few measurements).  I checked with the bridal shop, and they said that I would get the dresses 3 1/2 months from when I order them.  So if I ordered them next week, they would get here early September.  I would then need to disperse the dresses to the bridal party, so say mid-September just to be safe.  Do you think that's cutting it close for alterations?  I'm a little worried.

Thanks!

I think September is fine for alterations--I'm thinking it would take any seamstress less than a month to do bridesmaids dresses. I would order ASAP just to be safe

I think that's plenty of time for a bridesmaids dress.  A wedding dress, no...but bridesmaids don't typically have a ton in alterations if they order their sizing properly.

That is plenty of time for bridesmaid dresses.  Alterations for them (generally) are not nearly as involved as they are for wedding dresses.  Heck even for a wedding dress that is plenty of time because you don't typically start alterations until about 1.5-2 months out anyways.
