I told my OOT BMs to find a salon near them that has a particular designer, go with a certain color and length and the rest is up to their convenience. I had to do this because one BM didn't like any other styles that MOH and i picked out.
I got a message last week from another BM telling ME to go to the store near me and just buy a dress for her. She said she had her measurements from another fitting she did for a different wedding. I was kind of annoyed that this girl can't even be bothered to try on a single dress and that now I have to go and arrange for her to wear a certain dress that no one can guaruntee will even fit her, since she the first and only time she will ever have it on is for the wedding.
I made the mistake of posting this in the WP board, and was told its MY job to pick her dress out for her. I find it funny because a while ago, I did pick a dress and then had issues with one not liking it, and i was told on that forum that I should let BMs pick a dress, and it was wrong of me to make them wear something. F that S. I now remember why I never post on the main boards.
So what do I do? Order her a dress I like and its her fault if it doesn't fit? Or so I try to convince her to get it herself? I can't help but be a bit insulted that someone who is a good friend of mine can not be bothered to even put forth effort to try on a damn dress.
