Depressed about Dress

Ok so I am upset about my dress, hating it with 67 days to go. I went down yesterday to try it on againa nd see how they were doing with the boning. so far, verdict is horrible. It is still wrinkling oddly in the middle because it has no boning to keep it flat. I want to cry. They never told me it was a dress with straps. The floor sample was strapless and when they showed me my dress, it did have straps butwhen asked, the girls said 'Oh they all come that way and we can take them off.' I didn't realize that without the straps, it sags.

I am so upset because iit is so much like a Maggie Sottero I wanted that would have worked better due to the boning, but I couldn't find it anywhere so I ordered my dress thinking, pish same thing. Apparently its not. It looks ok in pics but thats because it was pinned within and inch of it's life and I was standing at soldier-like attention to try and keep it from sagging.

It's too late to order anything else, even if I rushed ordered, so I have to stick this out. I cried myself to sleep last night which sounds stupid, but one of the only reasons I wanted a larger wedding when the elopement idea didn't work out, was so I could wear a real wedding dress and look like a beautiful bride. And now I just look wrinkly and its all off and I just needed to complain...

Re: Depressed about Dress

The boning issue is the dress is very thin and clings to the body. Its a modified A line so boning shows beneath unless its along the seaming which is where she is putting it. I don't want to create a huge stink because they have treated me badly twice before at RK Bridal and tird time is ususally 'the charm.' Don't want that time to be the one when they destroy my dress and then claim 'whoops!'

I looked into ordering the Maggie I wanted but no dice-even online, they said it would probably not get here before 1-2 weeks before my wedding day and for me, thats just cutting it toooo close especially as summer is high wedding season. So I have to stick out the dress.

Portjeff, good suggestion about the lining. I will have to ask about that. Thanks for the continued support guys. I need a little bit of snuggling and back patting. LONG A$$ day!
