PSA: Bridal and Formal in Reading.

*Begin Bridezilla Rant*

I went with my MOH to pick them out, found them on the first trip. She ordered hers and the rest within days. No big deal, B&F were a lot of help.

Then I went to pick them up, they were beautiful. I dropped them off to the BM.

THEN I get a call from my MOH. She said the dress was huge and she could fit both fists in the breast area and it was still loose. 

Second BM calls with the same problem. 

Third calls (whom we found out she was pregnant a few weeks ago). Hers fits, but HUGE in the boobs as well. AND the sash is falling off.

Fourth calls (daughter of the third, she's 8) and hers is too long and the straps are way too long and guess what, big in the chest. Eight year olds don't freaking have boos..

I'm calling bridal and formal tomorrow morning and then calling the manufacturer (Forever Yours) to see if anything can be done. I expected some will need alterations, but all of them? They measured them in the store, shouldn't they have made it according to their measurements?

*End Bridezilla Rant*

Anyone of you ladies had issues with them?

    we had a similar problem at my friends wedding this summer...we went through a different store. they order based on your biggest measurement so if your hips are 2 sizes bigger than the rest of you thats the size the order. Good Luck getting it fixed!

    yeah that's definitely a designer issue. I have my dress and the girls are getting their dresses from there and they have been great with everything. If you call you talk to a BM person, talk to AMANDA LEHEW. She's the best and she's the only person I deal with when I go. As crappy as it sounds, it may just have to be an alterations thing. Good luck!!!

    <div>Thank you! I will call her. I'm going to go ahead and do the alterations for two of them, but the other two are getting them done by someone else. I will call her though, I just think the company needs to know.</div>

    We went to Bridal & Formal yesterday & found a BM dress there that we love (I went with my MOH & a BM). It's Bill Levkoff, so I'm hoping when they order theirs & they come in, that we don't have a similar problem! They were extremely nice & helpful when we went in yesterday, so I hope it stays that way throughout the process. Good luck with your BM dresses, it'll all work out! And, I agree, that the company should at least know, even if it is a designer issue.

    I called them today and didn't even have to go bridezilla on them! She explained that the tops were going to be big because it had to fit their whole body. Anyway, she said we would bring the dress in with the sash issue and they can fix it or they can credit her back $10 to $15. :)

    this.

    it's not an error or a problem. you measure and order according to the biggest measurement. you plan to take a dress in, not hope there's enough fabric to let it out.
