Quick Answer
For a last-minute wedding, choose an in-stock bridesmaid dress that matches your color and size needs, and order immediately to secure it.
Why In-Stock Dresses Save the Day
When your wedding is weeks away, waiting for a made-to-order dress isn't an option. In-stock dresses are already cut and sewn, so they ship immediately—no production time. That means you can get a beautiful, quality dress without the stress of a tight deadline.
The trade-off? You're limited to the sizes and colors currently available. If your bridal party needs a very specific shade or a wide range of sizes, you might have to compromise or consider a made-to-order option with rush delivery.
What to Check Before You Order
Before clicking 'add to cart,' verify that your size is in stock and that the color matches your wedding palette. Also, check the dress's length and features—some styles accommodate taller heights, while others have specific design elements like slits or sleeves that might affect the fit.
Remember, in-stock items are limited. If you see a dress you love in the right size and color, don't wait—it could sell out.
Diagnosis: Is an In-Stock Dress Right for You?
- Symptom: Your wedding is less than 6 weeks away and you haven't ordered bridesmaid dresses yet.
- Likely Cause: You may have delayed ordering due to uncertainty about styles, sizes, or colors, or you're planning a shorter engagement.
- Corrective Action: Choose an in-stock dress that fits your color palette and size range, and order it now to secure immediate shipment. Confirm the dress is in stock in your exact size and color before checkout.
- When to Stop or Choose Another Option: If your bridal party needs a wide range of sizes or a very specific color that isn't available in-stock, consider made-to-order with rush delivery or a different style that offers more size options. If you can't find the right fit or color, stop and explore made-to-order options with rush delivery.
In-Stock Styles to Consider
- In Stock Pippa: The Pippa is a velvet A-line dress with a v-neckline, slit, pockets, and boning in the bodice. This style offers a structured, elegant look that's perfect for fall or winter weddings, and the pockets are a practical bonus for bridesmaids.
In Stock Pippa - In Stock Jessa: The Jessa is a chiffon v-neck fitted dress that accommodates heights up to 5'11". If you have taller bridesmaids, this dress is a reliable choice that won't require major hemming.
In Stock Jessa - In Stock Blake: The Blake is a chiffon one-shoulder dress with a short flutter sleeve and an A-line skirt with a slit. This style adds a modern, asymmetrical touch and is ideal for bridesmaids who prefer a bit more coverage on one shoulder.
