I just called my Bridal Salon to get the exact date of delivery for my gown. They tell me it will ship out at the end of June??!!!!
When I freaked about how close that is to my wedding day, they said 'well I'm surprised it's even getting here that soon....you only ordered it in February. We didn't even charge you a rush fee. I ordered my gown in . February, 2008
So it has taken over a year....and it's still NOT in??!!!! They nearly choked when I told them it was ordered in 2008, not 2009. So now they have to put a rush on it.
I hear horror stories about this place all the time (which I wish I knew beforehand). Should I try to get some credit for my stress, or free alterations?
I mean I am up not cheap and so not a 'girly' girl or 'bridezilla'. But this is just incompetency to the MAXIMUM!
AGHHHH....sorry I needed to vent.

I would say your alterations should at least be free and RUSHED. That's ridiculous! I hope it comes soon for you!

Are you serious??!!! This is UNREAL. Call them immediately tomorrow and don't back down. Tell them you've spoken to other brides and it's a common issue, also that you are on LIW and can write a review about their services.

Go see it asap being your first fitting is in 2 weeks!!! I was in a wedding in september and the bm dresses were from there and low and behold, i finally got my dress 6 days before the wedding and it was the wrong size and too short. I was so mad i brought it elsewhere to be altered $200 in alterations later, the dress was right.

Why did I know you were gonna say that??? I ordered mine from there too! The last time I checked on the dress the lady told me they shouldn't have told me it was coming in when they did 'coz the sales ladies have no idea on timing. UUugh!

So sorry this is happening to you. Its a good thing you followed up with them. They must have held your order--i cant stand places that do that!!
who would a place hold an order? they don't always put it in as soon as you pay them?

Some stores place your order according to your wedding date, so that it is not sitting in the shop for too long. I do understand this might be a little concerning to brides who see that other girls' dresses come in way in advance, but I will say that I got my dress at Paradise, and while it did not come in until just about a month before my wedding, my fittings were scheduled with no problems, and I was more than satisfied with my alterations.
