Hello,
sorry my first post is a whinge but I wanted advice from people who will know what the norm is.
I went hunting for a dress last year and found a nice one in a small shop. I like it becuase it wasn't a chain and everything was made locally. The staff seemed helpful.
I told them initially that I was planning on losing weight so there was no point measuring me at the time I was ordering it. They booked me in a couple of weeks after christmas for a fitting. I called them to say that I hadn't lost the weight I'd planned to so would like to push my first measurement apointment back so that it was a more realistic starting point. They told me that I was not the only dress they were making and they could not push it back.
So I went for my first fitting having lost almost a stone-they were clearly unhappy about this. Surely everybride drops weight in the run up? Anyway I had to point out where it neded taking in as she was only sorting out the length of it. She wouldn't take it in at the hips and said we'd see what happens at the next fitting. Had the second fitting on saturday and again had to point out where it needed taking in. It was slipping down and I had to ask her several times to take it in as I wasn't happy having my dress slipping down. They suggested I use tape! They are taking it in but have said that it will probably crease across the front. I don't think it should crease if they are altering it properly?
Has anyone else had this experience before? I'm really upset by their attitude and my wedding is now in less than four weeks!
