ARGH - Wedding Dress Nightmare

JuliaC, 12 January, 2012 at 09:52 Posted on Planning 0 25

I'm am having an absolute nightmare trying to source 'the one'!
I have decided that I definitely want a Mori Lee dress and I have found my perfect dress.
I have contacted all my local (Wiltshire and Gloucestershire) Mori Lee stockists and all of them are saying they don't have the dress in stock.
It is part of the spring 2012 collection and no-one can even tell me if they are getting it in!
Help!
I know this dress is 'The One', but I really want to try it on to make sure before I order it.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Can anyone help me source dress 1806?

    Most stockists should order a sample for you to try. Usually you have to pay a small fee for it to cover delivery.

    Just wondering, have you tried on other dresses?

    There was a maggie sottero dress I liked the look of, and I knew that despite trying on lots of other lovely dresses I wouldn't be entirely happy until I'd at least ruled out this one. I rang round the maggie stockists, in the end one shop managed to get in the sample for me to try, it cost me £40 to do this.

    I think for a fee, many shops will courier it through from another branch. You may well be able to negotiate a discount equivalent to the fee if you decide to buy.

    Have you e-mailed Mori Lee directly?

    I fell in love with a Justin Alexander, I e-mailed them and within a matter of a couple of hours they had replied with a list of all the bridal shops in the country that had the dress in stock. HTH.

    Just be aware that many of us here found dresses that we thought would be perfect until we tried them on, then went for something that we really disliked on the model and on the hanger, but looks amazing on US! You may like this one on the website, but I'm sure your local bridal shops have a great selection, and you can find something there that you like!

    My "perfect" dress isn't even stocked in the UK, and the only way I could have got it was to order from a Chinese copy site. No thanks. I would still love that dress but recognise it's not available to me. I have found another that I like, so it will be fine. Perspective!!

    Hi,

    I would contact Mori Lee directly to see if they have any UK stockists of the dress. I looked on the website and the dress is on the UK site so it should be available here but if you aren't having luck with the bridal shops, phone Mori Lee directly.

    I was going to suggest their facebook page but I think you have already posted on there.

    I did the same thing though, fell in love with one on the internet, couldn't find a stockist near me, ended up with something completely different!

    I really wanted to see a particular dress and all the shops told me they werent getting it in. When I asked if there was anyone they could order it in for me to try they said they could for £30, and if i bought the dress they'd take the £30 off. Worth a try.

    Thanks for your help guys :-)

    In the end, I had to take a chance and I ordered it without trying it on!

    Risky I know, but I knew it was 'the one'!
