My dress still hasn't arrived.....leading to nightmares

I was originally due to be married on 17 March...but changed my date to May so approx 7 weeks of a difference....so this hasn't became a major issue yet...however I am starting to feel incredibly stressed....

I was advised my dress would arrive 4 weeeks before, and I have never advised my dress shop that my date has changed so tehnically as far as they are aware my wedding is 2 weeks and 5 days away. I have called every day and they keep telling me not to worry and it will be here any day. Can you imagine how stressed I would be if I stuck to my original date? I would be in serious melt down.

I had a nightmare last night that I received a call saying there was a problem with my order and they couldn't fufill it any longer, so i had to start my wedding dress shopping again...and everything i tried on looked like a BFGW dress with fairly lights etc

Why do some shops think having a wedding dress delivered under 4 weeks is no big deal?

    My god, I'd be fuming!! My shop has advised me to allow 6-8 weeks for alterations too. Have you mentioned alteration to them? They are seriously taking the **** and you need to tell them that. I'm really not sure where you stand legally but I think if it were me I'd be looking at back up plans now. If you bought a ex sample dress now then you would still have time to do the alterations etc.

    They are aware of the alterations needed as I have booked their own alterations package. I called them every day last week and they kept reassuring me that it will arrive and Alterations won't be a problem....I'm in London tomorrow for work, in Scotland currently and I advised them of this trying to make the point it's super urgent as I won't be available to speak to anyone tomorrow...but they still couldn't give me an exact date...Smiley sad

    Awww, hun, I don't have any constructive advice, but it's a good job that you have enough time until your new wedding date. Easier said than done, but try not to stress too much, and have a ?
