Hi! I was looking to get a bit of advice. I am getting married October 2018...

Hi I would look after your little bundle arrives but start looking in May good luck with everything :)

I got my dress from a place called townhouse bridal in st Neots. It sells sample sale dresses only so if you find the one there you pay and take it home the same day and go and get it altered - no need to wait for months for your dress to be made. If you can find a place that does similar then maybe you can try on dresses now or soon after you baby is born and then you can look to get it altered nearer the time of the wedding? Leaving it until July I think would be pushing it a bit late x

I would wait until after baby arrives. There are plenty of wedding dress shops and outlets who have dresses to take home same day etc :)

I would wait until you have had your baby but start looking asap. If you tell the shops your situation when you book they will be able to tell you which dresses you will be able to order or you may be able to buy off the peg and just get it fitted. Good luck x

I’d definitely wait until after baby arrives but start looking now so you get an idea of what you like x x

As long as you've got about 6 months you should be fine so wait until you've had the baby. And congrats by the way!

Go after baby and go to Wed2B, you can take your dress away same day x

If you small then you may be able to buy off the rack or in sample dress sales. If you have curves or big bust then may need 6mths to order a dress in your size. March or April should give you enough time surely?

Loads of outlets where you can get the dresses straight off the rack and just need a couple of weeks for alterations!

I waited until after my son was born, BUT you won't be able to get a dress ordered in! You will have to have the sample dress! It takes at least 12weeks to order a dress ( unless you pay extra- and only some designers do rush orders) and then you will need time to do alterations etc..

I would wait until after the baby arrives. And if you go to a place such as an outlet like wed2be and get one you are able to buy then and there, you have plenty of time, rather than wait for it to be ordered in. That's what takes the time. Plenty of ways around it! Then still 3 months with a dress maker for alterations which is then definitely plenty of time!!

I’m in the same situation! We get married next October and are expecting baby in February! I tried dresses on when I was 16/17 weeks pregnant but just didn’t do them up, I just wanted to see what suited me which I found helped a lot. I then found the dress I loved, ordered in the next size up to what I am now so if I don’t manage to lose all baby weight then I know it’ll still fit! But if I do then I can have the dress altered. I think I just worried that if I waited until after baby then I wouldn’t find one I liked x

I married my late husband 3 months after he proposed. In some ways having less time for dress shopping makes it easier in my opinion. Good luck whatever you choose to do, and happy wedding day

Im losing weight for my wedding in March 2018. I was told buy a dress the size I am now as 90% of dresses can be made 2 sizes smaller but not bigger. So I would still look and try on. I would ask about having the dress taken in August time after baby arrives xx

Don't stress please your got plenty of time after your wonderfull bungle arrives. Maybe go for a lace up corset back that way if you lose more weight after you can pull waist in tighter. Same principle if you put some on can let it out a hit more. Xx congratulations

July will give you enough time hun, don't put yourself under pressure

I’m pregnant, I’d already got my dream dress but it didn’t fit when we got married 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks before the day I went and bought a new one, got a local seamstress to alter the length and off I went..if you have a local @wed2b they are fantastic x

Wait until after baby arrives and you feel comfortable in looking.
You may loose a fair bit of weight after. Either way
Dress shops will.be able to.help accommodate you

I’d wait. After having my daughter my body was a completely different shape than before. Even after losing the weight my boobs were bigger, my hips wider etc. You just don’t know how you’re body will change x

I get married in April 2018...I haven't got my dress!!! I'm not buying one from a bridal shop as we are paying for our own wedding so I'm looking at Debenhams or somewhere on the high street with a bridal range 😁😁😁😁👰🏻👰🏻👰🏻

If you go to somewhere like Wed2be you can take the dress the same day so you don't need to worry about any additional ordering time, they have a wide range of styles and sizes so you'll have plenty of time to go in July and get a dress for the October wedding. As it's a busy time it might be worth talking to seamstresses in advance as whatever dress you buy may need some alteration and check they can fit you in August/September time.

I'd wait. I brought my dress in January and was married in April and it was fine. You may need to find an independent seamstress but it's totally doable.

If you're looking to buy ex-sample, "off the rail" or something like that, then you will be fine, but if you're looking to have to made to measure then you will seriously struggle. A lot of shops can put you on a "rush order" but it can cost you an additional £100 or more, depending on the store x

Id wait till after baby but in the mean time is it possible for you too go swimming say 4 times a week that will not only help with pregnancy related aches but keep fitness up xx good luck xx

I've just had our daughter and we get married July 2018. I've waited to look for dresses until she was born. I plan to start looking early in the new year. I know this is a bit more time than you but still, I'm not worried. If you make sure you're organised and plan seeing lots of dresses as soon as your ready you'll find something. The only thing that takes time is the alterations. Just make sure you organise these being done as soon as you have it. Good luck x

You'll have plenty of time after the baby arrives. I get married on Saturday. Got my dress at the end of June and I collect it from the seamstress on Tuesday.

Didn't buy mine til about 6 weeks before the wedding. Mainly due to being totally unorganised (I had been looking for about a month at this point) ! Tried it on, loved it, bought it and got measured for alterations there and then. Didnt help that it was at the other end if the country when I was having a weekend away but I flew back down 3 weeks before the wedding to try it back on after the alterations and take it home.

We get married in August next year. Not going to look in March and going to wed2be where you buy and take it away the same day. Look them up online they have a few stores to go to xx

If you go shopping now n see what styles you like you can get an idea of what is put there. Most shops don't have the right size dresses in. I went with my friend whose a size 10 n most of the dresses she had to try were 16-20. But she got an idea of style. Also you can ask then how long each shop takes to process the dresses as some say 3 months plus alterations and some say 6 months. Then u would know where u can go when the time arrives for your timescale. I'd scope out places that you can get dresses of the hanger or in the sale. If u get a number of shops like that ready in a list when you've had the baby u can go round them and try on dresses buy one straight away n only have to sort out the alterations. Lots of the big wedding fayres sell a lot of sale dresses so maybe give then a google n see when they are.

It might be hard to find time after the baby is born!

Wait till baby arrives. Your body will change so much between now and then, and if you decide to breastfeed that will have an impact on your body shape aswell. WED2B sell dresses off the peg so you could get a gorgeous dress closer to the day. Enjoy your pregnancy and becoming a mother - then once you've embraced those wonderful challenges you can focus on being a bride!!

I got my dress on 28th August 2017 and I get married on 18th November 2017 and I didn't try dress on until that day either I had my daughter in September 2016 and put a huge amount of weight on so wanted to lose it before I picked my dress x

I got married June last year. I had a baby on 2nd January then went wedding dress shopping when he was about a month old. Worked out fine for me. Found the dress of my dreams and luckily I got it off the hanger. Was brand new and fitted me perfectly xx

You'll have to accept buying a sample or off the peg and getting adjustments done, rather than ordering a dress in, but that should be enough time.

I haven't been in the pregnancy situation on the run up to the wedding but its my 2nd anniversary on the 23rd of this month and I hadnt started trying on dresses until the August. Only thing is the shop didn't have time to make me a dress I had to buy one off the rack but they did have plenty of time to do the alterations. I would go into some shops and speak to the staff and their seamstress and take advice from them you will find they have been in this situation before and will know how to advice you

I was 7.5 months pregnant when I got married so I didn’t buy my dress until 6 weeks before the wedding. I bought it off the peg from wed2be, they had gorgeous dresses and so much choice. It was a bit stressful, but all worth it for becoming a mummy! I had it altered about 2 weeks before and my dress was absolutely perfect. Good luck with pregnancy and your wedding
