So how would you handle the situation if you are getting dresses that are on clearance and MUST be ordered ASAP to get your colors?
I have been trying to get ahold of one single girl for a week about this dress. I have emailed, called, texted and FBed her. NOTHING! It is like she has dropped off the earth. Finally today, since it has been over a week and the dresses are starting to sell out, I told all of the other girls to order the dress.
How should I handle this other girl though? I have no idea what size she wears. I was thinking about getting the largest size the have (12) and telling her to pay me back and get it altered to fit. However, I am not sure that is the answer either.
What do I do?

I think that you should do that! Worst comes to worst and she doesn’t want to be in the wedding you could sell it.

This is one of your bridesmaids? It sounds like she’s not that interested in being in the wedding. I don’t want to sound mean, but I may reconsider her role if she can’t even contact you. I would understand if she does not currently have the money or cannot purchase it at this time, but the lack of communication would worry me, particularly if she is a close friend.

I think you should try to contact her one more time and just tell her that she has to order the dress now or she won’t be in the wedding party. Let her know that the dresses are on clearance and that it is now or never. If you have to leave messages stating this, then do so. It will be up to her. Make sure you give her a deadline.

I had somewhat of a similar issue. I finally just ordered the size I assumed she would need and it worked out. Alterations can do amazing things, so I wouldn’t be too worried. Don’t let her dress issue ruin your excitement!

But I am not sure if a 12 is too small. Can you do anything if I get her a 12 and it is too small?
She is a close friend. But I also debated before asking her because she tends to disaper like this and I wasn’t sure if I could count on her. I hate to think about cutting her out. I did leave her a message on her voicemail earlier tonight saying she had to order the dress either today or tomorrow. I also sent her a message on FB saying the same.
