That was my worry. I'm 5 feet. Crap.

View Quoted Comment What size is your dress? The size really depends on the design and brand. I can get into multiple different sizes

I’m going barefoot for the wedding so no heels or anything.

I second the David's Bridal for under $100, also consignment shops? If you find one off the rack that could work

I sent you an email. Unsure of size, but if it will fit you can have the dress I was going to wear to my reception.

View Quoted Comment Y’all are going to make me cry. I couldn’t have go through half of this wedding stuff if it wasn’t for the love and support of this site. I’ll email you back.

View Quoted Comment I’ll look out for the email. Haven’t gotten it yet. *************@*****.***

I know it’s not the best option but amazon prime does have some wedding dresses.

View Quoted Comment 276-229-1663 is my cell for some reason the email doesn’t seem to be working. Y’all all sound like great ladies.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the offer! So sweet of you!! Brings my faith back in people

What size do you wear?

View Quoted Comment 10-12 possibly 14 depending on size. I may have it under control thanks to a lovely lady on here!

David's Bridal has some beautiful dresses on sale right for $99 (and I believe you can order online and possibly ship to store?). I know they may not be your dream gown but perhaps in a pinch you will find something lovely?

Also, I know it wont be "new" but perhaps craigslist or one of the consignment sites may have something?

I agree that the seamstress should be making some restitution

Best of Luck

I have this dress I am not wearing it needs a slight stitch where the tulle meets the dress, it was a sample dress and that's the only thing wrong with it and you will probably need to get it hemmed but it is a size 14 - fits like a 10-12. It's all yours if you want it! I am in Jersey, shipping wouldn't cost you that much!

Not me in the photo but wanted to give you real life photo. The site doesn't do it justice!

View Quoted Comment Could you text me? 276-229-1663 I believe I may have it under control but would love to have you on hand in case something falls through!

What's the update? How are things working out for you....

I am so sorry you are going through this. You definitely need to take her to small claims court to get all your money back for the alterations and the cost of the dress.

I just sent you a text!

The in-house seamstress that worked on my wedding dress also botched it, I didn’t get my dress back until 36 hours before I was leaving for my wedding and the bridal shop owner wanted to offer me a restaurant gift card for my troubles, my wedding dress fell apart on my wedding day and I missed parts of my reception. It is also tainted every memory I now have from that day because it reflects in all of my professional photos and on my wedding video. Bridal shops need to stop hiring subpar seamstresses. And making promises that they can’t keep.
