Panicking

On Friday I went and picked up my dress! I should have been over the moon excited (and I was before I got there) but now im in panic mode/possibly losing my mind. Before I'd gotten my dress, I was anti David's Bridal bc i was convinced that It was just a bridal puppy mill. I ended up finding my dream gown there though and Had a wonderful experience that day. I got an email a few days ago saying that my dress was in and I needed to come by and get it. I knew going in that I didnt want to do the alterations that day bc i wanted to lose a little more weight and didnt want to have to pay for alterations twice. The lady who i was scheduling the appt was very rude however and kept insisting that I needed to make my alterations appt ASAP and when I told her I wasnt sure if I was getting bridal portraits taken she proceeded to explain to me that i was basically a basket case for not taking them! I made the appt for some time in may and went up front to actually get my dress. The same lady opened the bag and I felt right away that something wasnt right about the dress. I felt like the color was slightly off and i noticed beading in places that I hadnt noticed it before. I compared it to the pictures i had from the day when i tried the dress on and the beading was definitly there (which i a totally ok with) but the color still seemed off. Also, the price tag said a MUCH higher price than what I paid for the gown and when I initially purchased the gown It was NEVER mentioned that it was on sale. AND, when i tried on the gown, the lady helping me suggested that i order a 6 and have it taken in. When i picked up the gown on friday, the tag says that its an 8! I dont know if im being paranoid because I felt that the lady on friday was rude so im just in a bad mood about it, or if the dress that i took home really isint my dress

    <div>Good luck! I'm sure it will all work out!!</div>
  • Okay! I am happy to report that the case of the sketchy bridal gown has (hopefully) been solved. When I got home from work i took the dress out and actually put it on. This was the first time that I'd tried it on since the day we initially went shopping and thankfully, I think I had just forgotten what the color looked like since it had been awhile since i'd seen it. The color was perfect when I put it on yesterday. Unfortunately however, the size was incorrect. I ordered a 6 and the size of the dress i took was indeed an 8. Fortunately since I had the reciept they "assured" me that the switch would be easy and that MY gown should be in within the next 2 weeks. Hopefull ill have nothing but good news to share when it comes in!
