Is it considered too early?

I went dress shopping 13 months prior because that’s what fit best into my schedule, so I see no problem at all with you going dress shopping whenever. And it’s very sweet to include your cousin and plan it around her break in treatments too. Congrats to you and good luck to your cousin!

I went dress shopping nearly two years ahead because it's what worked for me and bringing my mom, grandmom, and aunt! Unless you're the kind of person who will second guess themself, I don't think it's too early. 😊 The dress sets a tone for the theme of the day and it's nice to know one of the important things are out of the way.

Definitely not too soon! Some dresses can take 6+ months to come in and then you need time for alterations. Then there is less pressure to find the perfect dress the first time you go shopping!

It is never too soon to dress shop. My wedding dress was set to take 6-9 months to come in! It came in this week at 5 1/2.

The only real issue with going this early that that you're leaving a wider period of time for your dress size to fluctuate--that's why they usually recommend buying the dress about 7ish months in advance. This isn't something that everyone runs into, but it's something to be aware of.

Definitely not too early! I'm getting married May 2021 and the dress has to be ordered by the end of April to give it enough time to get here and alterations. Good luck dress shopping!

11 months is definitely not too early to go dress shopping! That'll give you plenty of time for your dress to come in. I got my dress last March for my Leap Day wedding.

I think a year out is ok

I started shopping 13 months out, bought my dress 10 months out. It arrived 7 months later!
