BRIDES BEWARE! I ordered my dress the first week of January for my September wedding and was told I ordered ""in plenty of time"" because my dress would take almost six months to come in from Barcelona. I was told I would have it in my hands by the middle of June. The end of June rolls around and still, no dress. I called them a few times and they just seemed annoyed, telling me that it is running late and I will just need to wait... it might not be in until the end of July!!! I fell in love with this dress in a magazine and this shop was the only place that had it in all of New England so I drove 1 1/2 hr to get it. Now it was getting to the point where I had no idea when the dress would be in and when I would be able to fit in a 3 hr round-trip drive just months before my wedding, and I still had no idea when it would be in.
The dress didn't actually come in until August and when it did it was too small!!! I am not a big girl. I wear a size 4 and even though I was told this dress runs true to street size I still ordered the 6 to be safe. I had been dieting and working out since ordering the dress so I don't understand how it was too small but it would not even zip up in the back! The owner told me it was fine, it was only about an inch. But I looked in the mirrors and saw that it wouldn't zip up after my hips and there was a 3-inch gap!!! I was freaking out thinking I needed to go buy a new dress a month before my wedding!
I really think they ordered a smaller size.
Luckily, I have an awesome seamstress who was able to take it out and it ended up fitting in time for the day but if my dress were here when I was told it would be, rather than almost 2 months late I wouldn't have dealt with all of this unnecessary stress. I basically was starving myself in the weeks leading up to my wedding because I was afraid the dress wouldn't fit.
This was the worst experience in my wedding planning process!!!!
