Paradise Bridal

.... Update to last post on Paradise Bridal.

Everyone was right. They are horrible! After hearing everyone's horror stories, I went back in and and asked to be remeasured. Oh and what a shock! They had the wrong measurements down. And the funniest part... It's my fault. I lost a lot of weight. Hmm... I've gained at least 7 lbs since my initial measurements and have not seen a gym in seriously 7 weeks (not that I'm proud of that). They didn't screw up the measurements-it was me. I went down more than a size in my hips and a size in my waist. You guys should all try my new diet.... Icecream, pizza, beer, and mac and cheese. It really works!

To make matters worse- she doesnt think she can change the size they ordered for me. Even though my wedding is 8 months away. Then the best part...... They ordered me a size 11/12 wedding gown. They had me try on a size 9 last night and it kept falling down (even with clips). So I say to the woman, well if a size 9 is too big on me and I plan on losing the weight that I put on since my initial measurements, what is a size 11/12 going to look like on me??? And her answer.... Well maybe you should think about not losing anymore weight and maybe even putting on some!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmm ... Great answer!

Patchogue.

THAT IS HORRIBLE!!!! Did you get them to change the size of the dress? If not I would contact the owner right away!

wow, that is ridiculous that they cant even write down the right sizes.. i would be so angry hang in there though!! im sure it will look great on you!

Thanks guys! My DOC suggested that I call Eve of Milady directly. So I did. I'm so not confrontational but this just really upset me. I called them up and explained everything. They said they would look into it and let me know what they could do but that they agreed it was unacceptable. Next thing I know, Paradise Bridal leaves me a message on my cell phone that they spoke to E.O.M and they are now (all of a sudden) able to give me the size 9 instead of 11/12. They said they are closing now but to please call tomorrow morning and they will fix everything! I'm definitely NOT doing my alterations with them but I'm glad this part was worked out. I'll keep you all updated! Thanks

Good Luck, IM glad that you were able to get the right size dress. They are a bunch of complete idiots over there...FOR REAL!

PS-they asked if it was that time of the month for me when my dress was too small b/c as if having my period makes my hips bigger...when I looked at the contract-there it was written in that I requested a 4....and the size they recemmended to me was a 2...i signed off that it was my responsibility...still got a size 2 so who takes the responsibility for that??? NOT them.

Definitely take your dress somewhere else. Dry cleaners will do alterations, Phyllis from Bridal Elegance, you may spend MORE money but in the end at least you will have the confidence knowing that your dress look amazing and fits you perfectly

removed do to drama

Thanks Everyone! I'm going back tonight to get remeasured. They are going to send E.O.M my new measurements and reorder the dress for me. Of course they promised that I will get the dress back in time but I am going to say something again tonight directly to the manager-I want it back in plenty of time. I am DEFINITELY going to bring my dress elsewhere for alterations. No way (after this and all of the horror stories on here) that I'm getting my dress or the BM's dresses altered there. I wish I could just cancel the order but it's way too late. But at least they are changing the size and the head of sales at Eve of Milady is going to call me Tuesday to make sure that everything is good. E.O.M was very helpful! Really sweet and experienced staff handling their phones. Thanks for all of your advice. I'll keep you updated with tonight's appointment!

DONT tell them that you are taking the dress somewhere else. They will try and fight you on it. Just tell them you want it in. Most likely it will come in in february, I ordered my dress in september and it came in on Valentines day. When they tell you its in tell them that you want to come in and check it-they claim that they dont allow this-just say with the size issue you want to MAKE SURE! When you go tell them you are paying the balance and taking the dress. PERIOD

Good call. I never would have even thought of that. I won't say anything and when the dress comes in, I'll tell them that after the whole size issue, I need to come in and see it. Then I'll do as you say and pay and leave. I'm not letting them touch the dress after all of this. Such a shame, that brides need to be so worried about things like this.

I'm SO glad they reordered the dress for you!! because of that, i would agree with Peggy, DON'T tell them your going to take it elsewhere for alterations!! and that's great that you are speaking with EOM! i kept asking for Lazaro's info to call them myself, but they refused to hand it over.

---

Yeah, they gave me the same bs. I called my DOC and asked her for advice. She's amazing...She called me back with the direct phone number to the EOM sales department. Otherwise, I would probably still be sitting here upset and being told that they can't do anything about it.

And if they give you an issue, just let me know! I will meet you there and take care of it for you They cringe at the sight of me
