I've been noticing this as we're getting ready to go bridesmaid dress shopping soon-- as lot of the designers that I like will list specific bridal shops that carry their styles, but then when I actually go to that bridal shop's website, the designer isn't listed! I knew that if I was looking for a specific dress I'd have to call the shop first to make sure that they have that dress, but I don't want to have to call every single place and ask if they carry so and so's designs. Sigh!
