Has anyone ever had the wrong length dress order by the consultant? I mean maybe at this point I just need people who get it, but here is what happened:
I'm a taller gal, 5'9 and will be wearing heels on my wedding day- custom made shoes. When my dress was ordered and I was measured the shoes I had on were even taller than the shoes I have for my wedding day. The consultant said I "should be fine" and that the hollow to hem length was perfect and shouldn't need to be altered, so I'd "save a little on that." Even though it was during a Hayley Paige Trunk show so the extra long/tall option wouldn't have been an up-charge for this dress. I had my arrival appointment and brought my custom shoes, and the consultant said it was a perfect length again even when I said it felt a little short.
Yesterday I met with the seamstress, who works with the store, and I paid extra to be a "VIP Bride" with them to get her for alterations. I brought my shoes had them on and when the dress was adjusted to sit where it should and fit me best, it's about 1/2-1 inch too short! I just feel lost and I wait for the store to get back to me. My wedding is in 86 days and I paid a pretty penny for the dress and matching veil. The store and seamstress are 2.5 hours away one way.
Has ANYONE had anything similar or gotten any positive spins on this? I just want to cry.Has anyone ever had the wrong length dress order by the consultant? I mean maybe at this point I just need people who get it, but here is what happened:
