Dress Drama!!!!!!

So, I wasn't going to post this but I wanted to fill everyone in on what has happened to me.

So I went this past weekend to go for my first fitting and I was in tears. I looked at my dress and coulnd't believe my eyes. It was the wrong color embroiderer. I was in tears for over an hour. Everyone hushed me and I just went along with the flow. When I got home I looked at the pics of me in the sample and it was completely different!!!!!!!!!! (not a little....a huge difference!!!) By the time I called the salon they were closed and had to wait to tuesday. Went back tuesday and fought the owner and workers about the dress.

Finally I went back today and they are getting me a new dress made by Amsale (I met with one of the head people of Amsale/Kenneth pool). I was limited on dresses b.c I am only six weeks before my wedding. They promised me the dress in four weeks exactly.
I did not have to pay extra, just the cost for alterations and bustle that I would have had to pay anyway.
I actually saw one of our fellow 08 girls there and she and her FSIL said the gold embroider was ugly. (I wasn't imagining it) there was no way I could wear that dress. It was 80s gaudy gold.

I was soooo depressed from sat til today and lost almost 8 pounds b/c I couldn't eat or sleep. Finally I am at ease, I love my new dress and can't wait for it to come in. The next four weeks will be stressful but what can I do.

I am just happy that I am getting married to the man I love.

(I am not going to say the name of the place b/c even though it was a mess up, they still did the right thing and really helped me out)

I will try to attach picture. My dress will be ivory silver....this is not the color.....

Your dress is beautiful!

Def. go check your dress ASAP. I spent $750 on a veil to match my dress (ivory) and they ordered the veil in WHITE. So now I have to wait another few months for the right veil to arrive!

I am so sorry this happened, the new dress is gorgeous.

Reading your post, i am the 08'er that saw her at the store, and I feel bad, but when you FM'd me my honest opinion, i remember what my FSIL said.
And i wanted to be honest with you. I am glad you are getting something new.

Lots of Hugs cause this is probably so stressful i cant even imagine

Thank you for your honest opinion. they kind of fought me at first but eventually new they made a mistake (well at least the sales women).
Even the women from Amsale made a comment saying that the dress was VERY gold and she is familiar with the dress I chose. So I had her on my side too.

If you haven't bought your dress yes just ask every question you can about it (color of beading, how old the sample is, will the colors be the same....etc)

Once your dress comes in...go see it ASAP!!!! Don't wait ti your first fitting.

***** I had to go through this, but what can ya do. I have a lot of faith and know that everything will work out for the best.
Thank you ladies for being so supportive. I love the positive support you ladies give.
