In short: order a made-to-measure wedding dress online at least two to three months before the wedding. Making and delivery take two to four weeks; the rest of the time is for trying it on calmly, choosing your accessories and any small adjustment. Accessories can be ordered at the same time as the dress.
A simple timeline
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 6 to 4 months before | Choose your silhouette and neckline. Save your favourite dresses. Ask the church about the dress code. |
| 4 to 3 months before | Choose your shoes (you need the heel height). Take your five measurements. Order the dress and the free accessory. |
| 3 to 2 months before | Your dress arrives. Try it on with shoes and underwear. Tell us within seven days if a detail needs adjusting. |
| 2 months to 3 weeks before | Local alterations if needed. Choose the veil, gloves or cover-up. Do a hair and make-up trial with the veil. |
| The last week | Steam the dress, hang it high, and pack a small kit: safety pins, stain pen, tissues. |
Why two to four weeks is not the whole story
Each dress is cut to order after you send your measurements, then shipped with tracking. Two to four weeks is the usual time between your order and your door. But a wedding has its own surprises: shoes that change, a fitting that reveals a detail, a customs delay outside the EU. The extra time is your peace of mind.
Ordering in a hurry
If your wedding is less than six weeks away, you can still order: write to us on WhatsApp before you do, tell us your date, and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic. Choosing a dress with fewer details (satin or crepe rather than heavy beading) and a standard length makes things simpler.
What to order with the dress
Order your accessories at the same time: one is offered with every dress, and matching shades is easier when everything arrives together. Think about:
- A veil in the exact shade of the dress.
- A bolero, cape or shawl for the ceremony or the cold.
- Bridal gloves if your dress is sleeveless.

Questions brides ask
How far in advance should I order my wedding dress?
For a made-to-measure dress ordered online, two to three months before the wedding is comfortable. Four months is ideal if you want time for alterations.
How long does delivery take?
Usually two to four weeks from your order, with tracking. Shipping is complimentary.
Can I order my dress six months in advance?
Yes, but give measurements that reflect your body today. Ordering very early makes changes in weight more likely.
Can I return a made-to-measure dress?
Because it is cut for you alone, a made-to-measure dress can be returned only in case of a defect or an error on our side. Unworn accessories can be returned within 14 days.
