POB Update!

Well...backtrack two weeks and I was off to Priscilla's to pick up my gown much to my dismay. There were a ton of customers in the waiting area and I didn't want to cause a scene. I asked to speak to the manager and explained that I was upset but didn't feel this was the time to talk. I wrote a very eloquent two page letter explaining my feelings and the events that occurred and mailed it off. I know as a teacher, when a parent approaches me respectfully I go out of my way to help. I got a phone call tonight from the manager offering me FREE alterations and apologizing profusely. Am I happy that I had to get my dress and go through yucky situations? No... but I accept the apology and will happily take the free alterations!:)

    Thank you for the update, that's good to know. I am definitely going to push back in regards to picking up my dress when it comes in. If you don't mind me asking, what did you put in the letter? Congrats to getting FREE alterations!

    Thanks ladies! My FMIL actually had a spare closet and was more than happy to store Nora for me. My letter just explained the different times I had visited and or been contacted by POB and how each situation went. I made sure to explain how disappointed I was and how I was mistreated etc but in a very polite way haha. I would be happy to share it with anyone who is in the same situation! The manager Stephanie mentioned that she was impressed by the letter and she appreciated it more than just an "irate bride".
