Dress not here yet!

Catherine, on October 2, 2019 at 11:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19
Hi Brides! Not sure if this post is going to help or not with anxiety but .. I ordered my dress in early February and am getting married in about a month from now in November and it’s still not here... first they said three months, and now they’ve promised several other dates that have passed... I’m sure it’ll come but holy crow!! Has anyone else had to wait this long??? This is with Demetrios at Macy’s in herald square/ NYC... I’m freaking out a little! I’ve raised a little hell but perhaps not as much as I should! If you’re still reading this thanks!!! 😳

    I don't know if I'd be comfortable with that, in the slightest. What about alterations? It might not fit perfectly and I'm not trying to stress you, but most alterations are done two months ahead of the wedding. It's not that it might not be able to be rushed, but most places are usually booked up at this point when it comes to stuff like that. I'd contact them and put your foot down, if it was promised in 3 months -- you shouldn't have let it get to this point. I would have raised more than a 'little' hell, this is your wedding and at this point... I'd almost feel like you should make sure you have a back-up in mind. Not to try and add to the anxiety, but it's good to have a Plan B.


    Why the hell have they needed more than half a year to get your dress completed?

    Thanks Stephanie- I wouldn’t say I’ve just allowed it get to this point... I’ve gone in person twice and call each week. Agree with you that something needs to be done and I’ve been scoping out other stores. I just want my dress and the manager hasn’t been able to give answers. I even contacted the designer directly today. Hoping this is a small glitch!

    I am terribly sorry that you're having to deal with this as that is a main piece. I am super hopeful that you'll get what you want. I've read a few reviews and they seem to not be in favor of timely delivery, some people get it a week or a couple of days before. That is way too little time to do anything if the dress doesn't fit as it should. Check return policy on other stores if you get the urge to get another one, to be safe... and maybe not have to fork out money if you actually get the dress when you need it. Smiley sad

    I would 100% start on a plan B. Nordstrom's and bhldn ship overnight and are 100% refundable within 30 days. I would order one to have on hand just to be sure. There might also be a dress shop in town where you can take the sample home same day. I would check them out too, but most likely that would be final sale. With Nordstrom or Bhldn you could at least get your money back if your original dress appears. Crossing my fingers for me!!

    That is stressful to deal with. I would get a second dress as a back up. There are many locations where u can get a wedding dress expediated but it costs more money!I would raise hell cuz november is less than a month away.

    You didn’t post about this before, right? Because I recall reading a post quite recently with someone going through the exact same issue with them— I don’t think it was you as I think the wedding date was even sooner 😱— she said that the store was telling her the dress was stuck in customs ! I’m not sure if there was a resolution mentioned ....if you search the forums for “ demetrios Macy’s” maybe you can find her post and reach out to see if she had any luck ?

    good luck, that is super stressful!
    i agree with PPs about looking into a plan B dress— bhldn could be a good option

    Hell has been raised today. We even got the designers involved directly (I reached out on their site). They are perplexed too which is not comforting. I started researching a back up in the meantime. Luckily I’m in NYC and there are a lot of off the wrack options. Thanks Smiley smile

    I have a semi good update... the salon is going to reimburse me for the dress and the trouble. It’s coming in late next week they say... but I am skeptical and am about to go shopping at a sample store that sells dresses off the rack. Thanks for all the support ladies xo
