so after months of waiting and weeks of telephone calls they tell my sister that the order for Flowergirl dresses never went through. With two weeks to the wedding there is nothing that they can do. Which means that every time, the bride, me and the mother of the other flowergirl called to inquire and they responded 'we are expecting a shipment next week' that is just a basic line they say to everyone. Apparently they sent a fax to the designer Chrisi Helene back in February, but never followed up. Apparently the fax never went through and they never thought to check on the status of the dresses every time we called. In the end we don't get Christi Helene dresses, we had to buy other dresses, and fontana's only response, sorry but it really wasn't our fault.
If you think something is wrong, go with it. Don't believe the dress shop.

Thanks, the worst part is I don't want my sister stressing two weeks before her wedding, she should be enjoying every minute right now, not stressing about a mistake by a supposed professional. Anyway, be careful ladies. This could have been avoided had they just checked on the status.

That really *****. I am so sorry. I know that store well as my sister tried on dresses there and my high school graduation dress was bought there. That's terrible, I cannot stand bad customer service.

I just went through the same nightmare with my FG dresses and needed 6 of them. I'll forward you the place we ended up using. We got them quickly, I think about a week.
