More dress issues...argh!!! **UPDATE**

Can you afford to put down the deposit and then ask for the balance when it's necessary? I'm not sure how these things work but I thought that the whole amount wasn't due on the day that you order it.

Good luck!

If they're still in doubt then get them to look on Hitched and we'll tell them they need to get a move on ;-).

Its a possibility...££'s are tied up in shares though. Not sure how long it would take to cash them in.

I'm not sure how it works either tbh, didn't think to ask how much I'd need to secure the order! I was too flappy about finding the dress!!

Lol, thanks

If they're still insistent on dragging their heels, I shall send them your way!!

What others have said - find out if you can pay a deposit up front to secure order, then work on the rents

Yup, pay the deposit and THEN worry about getting them to pay for it. Maybe they need to be reassured that its not a sales tactic but a genuine thing when it comes to ordering dresses.

Yeah agree with everyone else see how much deposit is, some are 50% deposit and the rest when the dress comes in, and my dress shop had a payment plan of either 50/50 or as little as a£20 deposit and pay it up for the 3/6/9 months so they might be reasonable and have something like this.

The only ones that had to be bought outright were the sale ones that had to be taken on that day but worth a ask anyway

Thanks for all your replies! I've emailed the lady asking how much of a deposit is needed to order. Provided its not a ridiculous amount, I can hopefully pay this in the week & then will get to work on the 'rents!!

Hopefully it's not too much and you can get nagging at the parents haha! As Pugsley said send them our way I'm sure they'll be happy to get it in for you soon as anyway

I'll keep my fingers crossed, let us know what the outcome is!

Ordered my dress yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

They're rushing the order through for me to be in store by Jan for alterations!! And, I've even lost 3 inches in 9 days so was able to go down a size!!!!

Great new, glad it's all sorted ?

How did you managed to lose 3 inches in 9 days!? I could do with losing some!

Thanks!

I wasn't trying to lose weight (although I've never been adverse to dropping a few lbs here and there!) but I've been walking instead of driving the 2 mile round trip school run twice a day and walking the dog 4 miles a day too for the past week! I've lost 2 inches off my hips and 1 off my waist! I was so shocked when they re measured me!!

Wow, that's brilliant. I've got my first dress fitting in January so hoping to drop a dress size. You've given me some hope!

Any chance of a dress flash? Would love to see

Oh, go on then!

Im not having the straps (tried one on as in pic) and as I was pinned into this, hopefully my dress will look more flattering!!

Beautiful dress ?

What's the dress? It's gorgeous, glad you got sorted x

Thank you Its Benjamin Roberts 2392. I'm assuming it's quite an old dress as I can't find many pics online!
