Please bear with me. I've had a horrendous day and need to vent!!!!!!
I'll make this as short as possible!
Ordered my dream dress from a salon 2 hours from home. (should have ordered locally but wanted to give the woman that helped me the commision) Made sure to get measured with the corset bra ON. I didnt want the hell of worrying about fit.... I knew I'd lose weight before the big day but would rather take it in, yada, yada. SO......
The dress came in end of December. Drove up to pick it up, tried it on. Had gained 5 lbs of holiday weight (damn the chiristmas cookies!) and warned that it would probably be snug AND had started the pill so knew bust would be bigger. So it didn't zip all the way but I knew it wouldn't. They NEVER said it wouldn't work, said if I didn't lose it (wasn't much, was getting off the pill at the end of the cycle cuz I hated it, blah, blah.) that i could always take it out. They clipped it to my bra and I guess in my rush and excitement the 1 inch or so of skin I saw hanging out above the zipper I took for where the dress ended.
Fast forward to a few weeks later to try on dress (last night after I lost the weight I gained....plus an extra 2lbs I lost yea!) I tried the dress on for my mom without the bra.
It is so FAR FROM FITTING RIGHT. It's at least 4 inches from zipping. The problem is not even the weight. It's my ribcage (that won't change!) The only way to make it fit is to add a tie up corset. Which I'm not fond of.
My Mom freaked... so did I. I called the store this morning. There's absolutely nothing they can do. The merchant won't take it back and they won't either. So I called the store that is local and they had me bring it in. The first store unfortunately went with the lower size (I was between 2 sizes) instead of the bigger for my bust. I had no idea. They never asked me.
But my dumb ass signed for it. So I was screwed.
SO..... I ordered the same damn dress in a bigger size and put a rush on it. And now I'm going to try to sell the first one (with a little luck as it's never been worn, has the tags on, never been altered or bustled)
The other thing that SUCKS is it is a gown by a private designer (Ashley Jordan) for Impression Bridal. So there's no internet pic of the dress. DAMN. I guess the only good thing about that is because it's not all over the internet not many brides will have this dress.
I put it on ebay, craigslist, theknot.... anyone have another suggestion?????
I feel relieved because thank GOD we found this out and ordered today (wedding is in less than 4 months!) and I didn't wait until my first fitting (Feb 29) when my options would have not been as good.
Thanks for listening. It has been a rough day!
