Wedding 11 months postpartum
Hello! I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and I’ve just had the realisation when browsing wedding dresses that most people shop for their wedding dress 12 months before the wedding.
A lot of the dress shops I’ve looked at say online that a dress could take 6-8 months to be made.
So I’m stressing as I don’t know whether I should be dress shopping now while I’m only just entering my 2nd trimester or continue with my original plan to get my dress 9 months before the wedding (2 months post-partum)
Please any advice would be appreciated. My mum has been completely unhelpful simply saying “why don’t you defer the wedding a year” when I asked for her advice 🤬

I went dress shopping in mid August 2024 and got married mid Feb 2025. However the shop I went to, it was an off the rack situation so I could walk away with it a few days later. Then about two months before the wedding, I took it to a seamstress for alterations. I didn't need many so it was back with me probably 3-4 Weeks after dropping it off!
