My wedding dress was stolen

I need some help in locating a dress very similar to the one I bought that was just recently stolen. 

I went to a resale shop and just happened to find a gorgeous dress by Demetrios, no style number tag in the dress. The dress was almost a perfect fit, and I glowed. Because the dress was a resale I only paid $150. My finace and I don't have a lot of money and I am frugal by nature so spending a lot of money on a dress to wear for 6 hours doesn't work for me.  Anyways the owner of the store told me she would send it out to be dry cleaned. Weeks went by and I went into the store to make sure she hadn't forgotten. When I went in, the dress was still there waiting to be sent out. This was about 2 weeks ago. Thursday the owner calls and tells me the dress was stolen.  It disappeared. She told me I can come in and pick out another dress but I honestly don't want another dress I want that dress. On Saturday I went into the store to try on some other dresses and none compares. I did get my money back and hoping to somehow find this dress, maybe not the one that was stolen but another one.   Since Thursday, I have contacted the local paper in Rochester and put an ad on Craigslist hoping someone can help. The owner of the store thinks someone from a chairty may have picked it up by accident or even one of her own employees may have resold it and won't admit to it. 

So I am attaching a picture of the dress and I am hoping someone can tell me where I can find this dress to purchase. I have some time yet as we aren't getting married until October 2013.

    Sorry to hear about your dress!  That's a total bummer.
    I'd try searching sites like  http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/ - I found the dress in a size 12, not sure what size you are:
    http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/43912/Demetrios-Size-12.html 

    Either way, you have plenty of time to track it down in your size.  I'd also keep an open mind - if you really can't find it, I'd bring the photo with you at dress stores & they'll be able to tell you if they have something similar.

  • Honestly, I wouldn't get another dress from the same store. If they were careless the first time, they might be careless again. The internet will probably be your best option, brides are always selling their dresses. Good luck!

  • Sorry to hear about that.

    I bet that it was sold by the shop and they won't admit to it though.
