Hey all,
Hoping you can help out here. I bought my wedding dress in October 2013 at a local boutique. I love it, it's gorgeous, and I'm excited to see it soon. My wedding is in September of this year. Essentially, the store told me that my dress would be in around march-April. We've been in touch with them over the last two months trying to narrow down that time frame. We were supposed to see the dress this weekend to ensure there were no manufacturer defects, etc. now all of a sudden the store is giving me the run around, saying they're only working with June brides, the dress is in an offsite location and they have to get a release from the manufacturer in Spain to ship it to the store earlier than their schedule. It makes me nervous because they're being so cagey about timing, and if they're only on June brides now, when will they get to September dresses, august? I don't want my first time seeing the dress to be so close to the wedding. God forbid something is wrong, that gives me no time to correct it.
So my questions: how far in advance did you get your gown? I know alterations don't happen until 6 ish weeks before. Secondly, has anyone ever heard of the manufacturer controlling when the dresses, that are already shipped to a warehouse, getting sent to stores?
Thanks in advance, I hope you can provide some calming advice
