    This all went down yesterday, 70 days from the wedding...

    I get a call from one of my BM's that she was at DB and the dress she was going to order won't be in for 12 weeks. Normally I would think that they are just saying that because everything I have read says they "cushion" the delivery date (prob to exceed customer satisfaction) but this BM is close to 6' tall. She needed to order the dress in extra length. EX-length BM dresses DO take that long because they don't keep a lot of them stocked.

    She called me asking what I wanted to do, and I was at a loss. My BM's are all wearing different dresses but they are all long and satin. She said she would try on a few tea length dresses and send me photo's. When I hung up I was practically in tears, I showed FI the dress my wedding thing with all the dresses and the tea length just wouldn't work. When she called back I asked her to see if there are any dresses there (made of a dif fabric) that might be a little longer on her. She finally found one that would work and ordered it.

    Here is my main vent, I have been asking all the BM's to order their dresses since October. I had one BM that was really giving me a hard time and I basically focused on getting her to order hers in time, I didn't really stress about this BM doing it. If she would have ordered the dress even a few weeks ago, it may have come in in time. She said she didn't have the $ but posted on facebook that she bought plane tickets the a week ago...

    Like I said this was just a vent and hopefully things will work out with the different fabric dress.

    Thanks for reading ;)

    What about a Rush Order?  I would think there is something they should be able to do.  What about asking to look at other DB across the country that maybe have her size on the floor (sample)? 

    I would tell her you absolutely do not want to change fabrics or length.  If that specific dress is not available, then she should be able to get one of the others that the other BMs are wearing.

    Sorry, it really does suck, especially since you told her back in October.

    nfortunately because she needed extra length we could have called every store in the world and the odd of having a lilac, satin, extra length in that style would have been slim.

    To her credit, she did end up buying my favorite BM dress in the store. It’s just my other BM's didn't like it.

     

    The good news here is that I am offically done with BM dress drama! woo. friggen. hoo.

    ;)
