So my mom called the boutique today and actually got to talk to the designer himself. Lucky bitch, he answered the phone. Every time I called, one of their girls answered and I never felt like I was getting anywhere. I had a feeling that the designer/owner didn't really know what was going on with my dress - and he didn't. My mom told him about it and he was pretty upset. (the shop is owned by a gay couple - one designs the dresses, the other does mostly paperwork/orders - I'd talked to the paperwork guy)
He told her that he would get to the bottom of it and get back to her. Okay... well, not long afterwards, the other owner (paperwork guy) called her back. He said that my dress is scheduled to land in the US tomorrow, and then has to go through customs. It is scheduled to arrive here next Friday (the 29th).
Just for shiits, he did some digging on the other dress. You know, the first dress that went to Germany. That dress will not make it here until the Friday afterward (Nov 5).
Wedding is November 20th. Both owners are very happy they decided to order a new dress. I will not really be happy til the dress is here, but whatever.
So, there it is. I feel a little better, but yeah - let's wait til next Friday and see what happens, eh?
