Your result
Enter the event date and choose the dress and how you are buying it, then select Plan my timeline.
How it works
Each kind of dress and each way of buying it has its own list of steps, with how many weeks before the event each one usually starts and should be done by.
The planner counts those weeks back from your date and marks any step whose finish date has already passed, so you can see what to do first.
The lead times are rules of thumb. Ask your shop, maker or rental service for their own times, and add time in the busy wedding and prom seasons.
