I have had one of the worsest experiences ever at the Prado collection. I am in my best friends wedding in June of 2008. She chose the Prado collection because she did not know another retailer in the area that carried Mary's dresses. I went and ordred my dress in late February early March. I should have known then that there was a problem. The gentleman showed me the dress took my deposit. I had to wait almost 30 minutes before He could convience Vicki to come and take my measurements. He told her once she said she was busy. He told her again and she helped someone who had just walked in the door. He and her exchanged words and he had to tell her to "" Trust me on this one."" Then I weighted another 5 minutes and she took them and walked off. I am a plus size female if there was a problem with the measurements i should have been told then. She said nothing to me. The bride stopped by there and was told there may be a problem in the hip but she told her i am on a diet and working out. Vickie suggested that I may need to buy extra material. I called to find out and she was lost at first then she asked me how much material do I need to buy. i told her I don't know you tell me. She didn't know how much it would be. She also told me since i was losing weight to wait til the dress gets here then order it and told me she would call me back never did and still hasn't. She told the bride a whole different story about the conversation. This offended me and I told the Bride and she had to stay on her because she did not order the fabric like I asked until the Bride had her to order it. My problem with this is if I am paying you . then she needed to be communicating with me. It only gets better, this experience just is unbelievable. The Bride called me to let me know that the dresses had come in and I needed to go and pay my balance and be set up to be fitted. Read on in the second half which is continued below this.
