Do NOT use Lazaro bm gowns!!!

Original post by iffy

Just want to pass on a little helpful tip, since I have gotten so many here.

Here's the story:

We ordered our Lazaro bm dresses thru Phyllis (who is an ANGEL!) the 1st week of October, for my March 24th wedding.

Lazaro said they'd be delivered by December.

In January - I started to worry. Phyllis called, they said they were backed up, but they would be here 'soon'.

In February, my 2 moh dresses arrived - with the WRONG sashes - we ordered a champagne color, they sent rust. ewww. Phyllis called. They would send the correct fabric with the rest of the dresses (now Phyllis has to make & sew in sashes, btw)

Then 2 bm dresses (out of 6 arrived). The size 2 and the size 24. The in between sizes would take a little longer, but wil be here soon, they said.

Last week, they PROMISED Phyllis they were shipping them on Thursday, and they would be here by Tuesday -10 days before my wedding - even gave her a tracking number.

When they didn't arrive Tuesday, she called, and they said they were overnighting them on Wednesday - they will be here Thursday - 8 days before my wedding. What happened to shipping them last week, and that tracking number?!

When they didn't show up today, Thursday, they said, oh, we didn't overnight them, we sent them 2nd day air - they will arrive by noon FRIDAY! 1 WEEK before my wedding. Nice time to save a little $$ on shipping, and NOT overnight! Are you freakin kidding me?!

So - it is Thursday night, my wedding is next Saturday, and 4 out of 6 bms have no dresses.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

NEVER, EVER BUY A LAZARO BM DRESS. EVER.

Wow. I'm so sorry. No wonder you're having tequila with your Cheerios.

I ordered Forever Yours bridesmaids dresses from Perfect Bridesmaids.com. They came in eight weeks and are, indeed, perfect.

I can honestly say I had an AMAZING experience with Lazaro. I bought most of my BM dresses thru Bridal Reflections in Massapequa with no challenges. One of my MOHs, who lives in VA, she had no problems either.

But the best part of the story, 1 of my Jr BM dresses and 1 BM dress was ordered in IL, and the shop owner dealt directl with Lazaro here in NYC. They were amazing and went WAY above and beyond in service. We had to order the dresses essentially at the final hour b/c one of my Jrs was borderline Jr size and regular BM size. We also had to order extra material at the final hour. Lazaro was so helpful with the ordering, overnighting and assisting on what would be the best to do, considering we were working with double faced taffeta.

Sorry to hear about what's happened with you. But I don't think it should hinder other brides from using them.

ETA: all dresses, except for the ones ordered in IL came in early. The ones ordered from IL were overnighted, so they were ontime.
