Not Engaged Yet

vent

So I ordered a dress almost 2 weeks ago from an express store since my size was not available in store, to be shipped to me at work.  So I still don't have the dress I bought for tomorrow's wedding.  It was sent USPS they said it was delivered Tuesday.  I don't have the package, no one in my co's mail room does, nor the building's mail room.  The post office claims they are looking for it. I called 4 different stores to see if they had the dress or any dress similar in a size 0 not white in stock and nothing.  I've been trying to track this dress since yesterday.... 

All of the dresses I currenly have all need to be dry cleaned and they won't have anything ready in time.  No idea what I will do tomorrow...

  • Sounds like it's time to go to an Express store, pick a DIFFERENT dress, wear it, then return it. Normally I don't condone that, but under the circumstances, it sounds fair!

    I totally would I called over to 5 Express stores all within an hour away and none of them have the dress in a size 0, or much of anything in a size 0 at all.  Express rarely stocks 0 in store and when they do it's like 1 or 2.

  • Unfortunately, Danser is so tiny that they might not have anything in her size.

    I really hope the package shows up...like now!
  • me too, but I doubt at this point in the day.  Meanwhile work is serving ice cream....

    I don't know why, but buying dresses to wear to weddings always causes me anxiety. I think it's ridiculous that they don't carry this sizes in the store. Good luck!

    I wish I could have 5 serving of ice cream.  I was in Limited & NY & co 2 weeks ago ago and they had no zeros. 
    Something will work itself out somehow.  I may stop by the mall soon anyway.

  • I like tiger's and lennon's advice. Go to white house black market or the limited, buy a dress, and return it later if you get a refund or your dress comes in. I'm sorry you're dealing with this stress!

  • I feel your pain! It's so hard to find clothes in a size 0. There's one mall store near me that always has lots of choice in 00 and 0, but otherwise, I have a really hard time finding dresses (and pants, for that matter...). 

    Because I'm Canadian, and you're not, I really can't suggest a store to try, but I'd suggest just hitting the mall in general. You never know what you might find!

    Life is good today.
  • I had no luck at the mall, White House Black Market had a few dresses one I loved was too long and the 2 or 3 other dresses didn't fit right.  NY&CO had one cute dress but it cut really low.  Oh well, one dress I have I isn't too dirty I steamed it and it doesn't have any real stains or anything on it.  So it will work, of course I like the dress too.  I just hope the dress eventually makes it to me now.

    As always thanks for the great suggestions. I <3 you guys.
