So it looks as if I will not be wearing this dress after all. I got a phone call this afternoon from Metrofashion informing me that they were having difficulties with their distributor for that dress and couldn’t guarantee delivery in time. She recommended that I look for an alternative dress.
Arr… just when I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with shopping… especially shopping in a bridal “salon.” *shudder* I haven’t really looked in any stores because I dread this sort of thing. However, now I have to because I have less than… six weeks… (oy!) til Joe and I leave for Italy.
I did a bit more looking online and after getting some pointers from links in Indiebride, I found this rather nice dress. Hopefully, Watters & Watters will live up to the claims of being inexpensive. Seeing as how a) I don’t think I have time to order online, and b) I’m not sure I actually can order online, I will have to go to the local stores that carry this line.
I’m going to L’élite tomorrow morning to see if they have the equivalent dress. With luck they’ll be helpful and I won’t have to brave… Priscilla of Boston.
If they try to get me into a meringue, I’m leaving. If they try to talk me into a dress that costs more than $300, I’m leaving. If they look down on me… I’ll vent about it.
