Good News and Bad News

Okay so I have been going back and fourth about my bm dresses. I love the dresses that I chose but Im having second thoughts about how they will look on my girls. I have 6 girls and they all range from sizes 4-18. I called every store on the website ans no-one has the dresses in stock because it is a new design.
Good News: I emailed the company and they told me about a loaner program where the store of my choice can order the dress so that my girls can try them on first.

Bad News: I called the store and they told me that they are willing to do that for me but the company has a bad rep with sending dresses on time so I should just go ahead and order them.

I am using BOTH dresses!

What shoud I do?

I like #1 better - #2 is a little boob-a-licious for me


Edit - But then again I have 4 bridesmaids with DDs or bigger

Thanks, I prefer that one as well but Im using both because 2 girls in particular prefered that one so I didnt have a prob wid it. I just wish that I could have seen them in person first.

both are very pretty, i would still wait till you see it on your girls and do th eloaner program thing, the last thing you need is ordering them and then hating them on your girls

This is a tought one but I would do the loaner - you never know if this could be a sales pitch where they are pressuring you to order or the store not wanting to bother with it. And if it were me and the loaner program took too long I would consider other options. If they dont send dresses on time why would it be any diff for your BM'S dresses? Just a thought...

OMG, #2 is exactly like the dress I saw for them but nicer!! (although without the slit in the front b.c they are too boobalicious for that dress!!) I like the short version. Do you have a phone number for the designer?

As for your question, before you make your decision I would call other stores that deal with that designer. From what I´ve heard from others, sometimes the bridal shops make stuff like that up to pressure you into buying stuff. Once you know if its true the designer is usually late, then make an informed decision.

No I do not have the number but on the website they have an email address. I called all of the stores that are listed on the website and they told me the same thing so i know that the sales person was not making up stories. My girls are all DD except for 1 who is a G but I love the dresses so I am going to use them both. I think once they get their size the boobs will be just fine.

Love #1! Number two may not be the best cut for bigger girls up top - that neckline always makes shoulders and arms and boobs look HUGE - jmo.

I would wait to see it in person, what if you don't like the material, or the way it looks on the girls - I tried on some gowns that looked stunning on the website or magazine photo and they looked like crap on.

maybe you could find similar dresses by another designer

Thanks, yes I saw a similar gown and i loved it but it didnt come in the color that I needed. I saw other dresses by them and I like it. I'm just worried about it making my girls look pregnant...lol
