I LOVE Maggies!! My top 3 were Maggie dresses, and I had never heard of Maggie Sottero before going dress shopping. The only one that brought me to tears though, and the one I then chose, was Chantilly.
I just got off the phone with my shop and they said the shipping dates are pretty accurate right now. I was hoping it would be in early. I paid for Rush and it will be in about 2 weeks earlier than "regular". I should have it the last week of July and my wedding is Sept 1. I will be looking at back-ups just in case.
Hey!! I just wanted to let everyone know that I love maggie dresses and I had picked out the perla
I ordered it back in January from southern bride here in SC...when it got here it had some serious defects and the only option was to get another one sent in...to make an extremely long story short...I have no dress in hand my wedding is on 06-07-08 and the store manager told me that I am costing them a lot of money bc they have to take a dress from another bride...(whose wedding date is later than mine) so that i can get it...it is still not here and when I called on saturday 5-10-08 they still have not rushed delivered bc I have to be absolutely sure before they spend 100 dollars overnighting the dress!!!
At this point Im going to have to change my wedding date because even if the dress got here tomorrow (which probably won't) I will have to get it altered because it is a size too big! (and by the way Southern-bride is "the best of the best" thats why I chose to go with them from the beginning...www.southern-bride.com)
I cant believe this happened...I might have to buy some white dress somewhere just so that the ceremony can take place.....unfortunately it wont be the dress I fell in love with...
I have a Maggie Libby dress! I'm an August bride too :) I ordered my dress in Feb 2008 and I received it on the last day of April. Now I just have to get alteration done and I'm all set!!
I am so confused. I ordered my dress almost two weeks ago...and I got a call this week that it's already IN!!! I am calling the store right now to make sure this is really MY dress. I ordered the Grace, by the way.
The saleswoman pushed rush shipping so much I was nervous about when I would get my dress.
Update: I love my dress! I picked it up on Sunday. It needs some minor alterations (but the hemline is perfect!). I must say that I am very glad that I didn't listen to the saleswoman when she told me to order the size 8, I took my chances with the 6 and it is actually a little too big. I plan on posting pictures on my blog (by the end of the day) for anyone who cares to check. www.calioc.blogspot.com
Now I am wondering if I should've ordered a size smaller too :( The only dimension that I wouldn't fit in the one smaller size is my waist, which is 1 inch thicker than the sizing chart number ...
Akimbo, I'm jealous! I ordered my Grace (diamond white over light gold) in January and am still waiting. The bridal shop said mine would take longer because it's a petite, but really, shouldn't it take less time to sew all those sparklies on a smaller dress? :p
Sphbride, I had the same issue with measurements. I'm hoping that adding cups and tightening the lacing will help with the extra room in the bust, but we'll see...
When I talked the bridal shop, they told me that certain sizes are more readily available - such as sizes 6 and 8. There would be no hope for me on the petite side of the spectrum. I would hate to have look for another dress for "just in case". I ordered mine end of March.
Ha--apparently all I needed to do was post to this thread. My dress arrived today! It took just under five months and came in two weeks after the date that the bridal shop had given me...
Ouch :( Hope you all get your gowns soon! Over 5 months seems like a long time!
Sounds I really should've ordered it in rush then. My wedding will be in Aug and I just ordered on 3/31 or so.
posted by sphbride 4 months agoah ha! I called today and my dress is FINALLY in, I'll be picking up tomorrow
