So frustrated right now!!!

I really need to take my dress into someone to bussle it.  But I am having the worst time!  Everyone I talk to won't do it because I didn't buy my dress there!  You have got to be kidding me!  I bought my dress in Wyoming, I really can't take it there considering I live in West Virginia now!  I'm trying so hard to plan this wedding while we have been moving all over the country (3 states in less than a year) and I can't get anyone to help me!  Do they just not want my buisness!?!?  I am so frustrated I'm crying and I know its ridiculus but I'm stressed to this point right now.  I'm trying to finish up all these stupid details, the WC is driving me crazy and my FI is in Germany until a week before we leave!  Plus my almost 4 year old is desperate attention seeking with daddy gone.  I've been trying to deal with everything and not complain, including the fact that my future in laws threw my fi's twin brothers fiance a huge shower for their wedding a few weeks ago but seem to completely ignore the fact that I'm getting married in a month.  (its not that I want a shower, it just hurt my feelings.  Chris and I have been together like 5 years longer than they have and we have a kid so we are  treated differently, but still...  it bothers me)  OK sorry...  I just needed to vent a little bit.  I know noone else will understand why having someone very nicely tell me they can't help me is making me bawl my eyes out!  I realize I'm overreacting, I just needed someone to talk to!

  • I am so sorry that you are so stressed.  You might lurk or ask on the local board if there is anyone in the area that will do it.  That sucks about FI being away for so long and so close to you wedding. P.S.  I would have been hurt about the shower thing to. ((Hugs))

  • I am sorry you are so stressed!  Have you tried posting on the WV local boards?  Someone might be able to help you out.  Good Luck!
  • I agree with PP, try the loca boards for a seamstress.  You just never know.Just breath.. it will all get done and everything will be perfect :).
  • Big hugs!  I'm sorry you're going through all this.  I agree with pp, try the local boards.  I hope everything works out for you.

  • I'm so sorry to hear what a rough time you're having! I, too, would be hurt by the shower thing. Why is it any different for you just because you've been together longer and have a kid together? How frustrating!And that really sucks about your dress...I never thought it would be so hard to pay someone for a service!BTW - You aren't overreacting. Maybe try stepping away from anything wedding related for a little bit (a few minutes, hours, days --- whatever you need to feel a little better). Hang in there!

  • Oh no!  I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this.  And with FI out of the country you must be out of your mind.  As far as the dress, like PP said, you just need a seamstress.  The bridal salon where I bought my dress wouldn't do alterations for me because I bought a sample from THEM.
  • Since it's only the bustle what you need and your dress looks like it doesn't have a ton of layers...have you thought about DIY your bustle? There are some instructions online if you search for DIY bustle, and it looks faily easy. Also, maybe even consider pinning it up with a broach instead of having the bustle if the fabric is light enough so a broach will hold it.Here is a website with instructions that might help:[url]http://calioc.blogspot.com/2008/07/bustles-buttons-and-beads.html[/img]
  • Normailed I think that is a wonderful idea!  I actually had been looking at a website that has an instructional DVD you could buy but they give some instructions on the site and I think a simple pick up bussle would work perfectly esp because my dress has button's down the entire back.  I think I could sew a loop on it.  Or at least my future sister in law would be able to if I couldn't.  Thanks!  I'm feeling a TON better now!

  • {{{{HUGS}}}} sorry to hear you are having such a bad day. Have you tried alteration shops versus actual bridal salons? We have a lot by my house, but not sure what it's like in WV... Try googling seamstresses or alterations and see what you come up with. Sorry about the shower. That would make me incredibly hurt as well. {{{{{{extra HUGS}}}}}
