Need serious hugs right now...wedding gown trouble!! ADVICE PLEASE!!!
So I ordered my dress back in November at a store in Queens. Alterations included and the staff were wonderful! Well long story short, my girls order their dresses (Bill Levkoff) from them, alterations included. Well tonight my final BM went to the store to put her money and measurements in and the ladies there were apparently on the phone with the owner who said that they would give us the dresses for $179 each but no alterations!! My BM of course calls me and tells me this and says the woman I'm dealing with called me so I should call them.
I get home call her up and she basically says that the reason there will be no alterations is b/c the store is closing this June/July and no one will be there to do them!!!!!
I'm so mad and upset at this point I'm losing my mind!! That means my dress will not be altered for free (like was promised) and then they tell me that I should come in in the beginning of April to do alterations with the seamstress!! I'm like 'I'M GETTING MARRIED IN NOVEMBER, WHAT IF I BLOW UP LIKE A BALLOON OR BECOME A FRIGGIN PENCIL (<-- unlikely hahaha)!' So she's all apologetic and says I'm trying the best I can and now I'm in tears.
So in a nutshell though, my MOH called and argued with the owner who is giving my girls their money back b/c the order wasn't placed and blah blah blah...but my deposit is non-refundable so it's done! At this point I don't trust them b/c they definitely knew about this forever ago! My mom is so mad and doesn't want me to get the dress from them at this point and has already called Lillette's for Tuesday night!
I mean what would you girls do at this point?! Get the dress, hold it in your house and get it altered? Or try to find another one?! When we called Lillette's too the woman there was skeptical on the fact that my dress was going to be in when they said. I don't know...just so upset and feel like I'm back at square one. Just need some hugs and advice
