Well I have decided to write about my final month before my wedding. I was engaged on June 05, 2009. Promtly 30 days later July 5th ordered my wedding dress from David’s Bridal. I knew it might take ten weeks for it to come in. I went in found the dress of my dreams. I know it sounds cliche but when you put your dress on you just know. I felt like such a princess. I had a great experience, my consultant Lisa rocked!
Now it’s Aug. 14th, and I have not got my dresss yet. Scratch that I have not got my replacement dress yet. I went in for my fitting about 7/30/09. I had the worst experience. First, the initial greeting picking up my dress was not impressive. When I called they had directed me to set up an alteration appointment. They didn’t tell me you need to pick up your dress then bring it back to alterations. Regardless when I gave them my name and said my dress was in the store. I thought they would figure it out. RUDENESS. Finally got the dress, after I thought I was going to have to come back… the way they said it was still in the storeroom since it hadn’t been picked up. Then came the lady for alterations .
I was super excited to try on all of my pieces, and pick out my favorite shoes. I wanted to try on several shoes I had.. she got in a tizzy. I asked if I could video her lacing up the dress, the consultant said you wanted to make sure it was done properly. She stated flatly it was like shoestrings.. all good. Regardless, I wanted to video it because all of my wedding party is out of state. Then she started pinning up the bustle immediately. It looked a little different than I wanted. Mentioned that and it was ignored. As I said I had several shoes I wanted to try on. She sat right next to me, mentioning I needed to make a decision so she could pin the hem. I finally got fed up and said I wanted a few minutes. I was not going to pick my shoes because she wanted to hurry up. Then I flatly mentioned I might not even get the alterations done there. She left me alone finally. By that time I was in a funk. I had a horrible time. On top of this the bra she wanted me to purchase was not fitting properly, and she starts bringing me more sizes. Which are smaller than I wear. Then to top it off, packing up to leave. I was going to decide on shoes and come back. Then I see a run in my dress, which was new and ordered for me.
Which brings me to here. I spoke to a manager and they re-ordered my dress. Luckily they kept my other one in the store, just in case. Now I’m down to 4 weeks before the wedding. They have assured me that I will be able to get my alterations done on time. As it stands we will see. I know this time, I will be running the session for my alterations. I’ve decided it’s time for me to take the bull by the hornes so to speak. Waiting on a call back now regarding the delivery of the new dress. I think they try to scare you into purchasing with the long estimated delivery dates. As it goes my dress is scheduled to be delivered Sept. 9. I will say my last one came in about 3 weeks. Cross your fingers for me.
NOT GONNA STRESS 
Also, they have a live feed at the bar… pretty cool.
