bridesmaid gown drama

Original post by MnM182008

One of my bms, ordered her gown out of state. She didn't pick up her gown when it came in and they put it up for sale. So now she does not have a gown for the wedding, its too late to order a new gown since my wedding is less than 4 months away. Does anyone know where I can find a Bill Levkoff bridesmaid gown new or used in Euro Red. If anyone has a used Bridesmaid gown in Euro red size 12 or 14 and are willing to sell it please let me know. I've searched ebay, and craigslist, is there any other websites I could check out?

there are PLENTY of shops that can rush order, or will probably even have a sample gown to buy off the rack. i'd call around & ask & explain the situation. are u in nassau or suffolk???

I am in Suffolk County. I can have the gown ordered but I'd rather just get something I can have in my hands right away. I still have to ship it down to NC after the gown comes in. She will definitely need it altered since she is only 5'1. Its the cost too. MY FH and I are gong to pay for the gown again, and I don't want to pay rush shipping. I'm going to continue to call around too...plus some of the LIW brides have given me some hope (some of their bm's may have euro red gowns). Hopefully I'll find something other wise I am off to order her a new gown.

it's a shame you probably couldn't find a similar gown at Davids Bridal, because they literally took 6 days to get my BMs dresses in after we ordered 'em. And my Wedding Gown was in after only 2 months. That was VERY convenient!!

can i ask why ur paying for it if it was clearly her mistake?? (that's hypathetical..u dont really have to answer lol)... to me, u offered to pay for it once which was generous..now it's HER fault that she has no gown. no WAY would i pay for the gown twice..ESPECIALLY shipping & all.. it should teach her a lesson to stay on top of things. to me, paying for it yet again would teach her nothing. but that's just me. so sorry u're dealing with this my girls actually had levkoff gowns in euro red but none of them were a size 12/14 & they didn't have a sash!

Well, she is my FH sister. She lives in NC with my FMIL. So its partly my FMIL's fault as well. We've paid for everything for them. It means a lot to my FH for them to be there, so they know if they poor on the guilt we will pick up the tab. This is the last thing I am fixing for them. I don't want to be rude, or have any hard feelings between me and them so I've given a lot. I still have so much stuff to get done for the wedding its just one more task I had to add to my list.
