the world is ending!

ugh i'm so annoyed with this bridesmaid dress company - this 1 dress is like at least 1 whole size smaller than what their size chart says! other styles were fine... and because i didn't bring the bridesmaid to be measured for the dress (she chose her size based on the chart - my fault - i should have brought her) the store won't do anything! like, i tried on the size 2 for one of my bm's who has a similar chest measurement, and it fit me - i could get it hooked and zipped even tho it's tight. (so that should be fine, i think...) the other dress, in a size 6, fits me perfectly. like, wtf?? it definitely fits like i would expect a size 4 to fit. sooooo annoyed that they don't follow the size chart, when it's something you can only order based on the size chart.

Quote from red333 : I really love this [express.com] green dress. It's one of my favorite. Has anyone tried this [express.com] belted tube dress? My express doesn't have it, but it's so pretty.

I've been considering the 2nd dress also. It looks so feminine on the model. The fact that it has to be worn strapless makes me hesitant. It really is cute though. I like the first dress too, but it's too similar to the strapless green dress I already have.

Quote from azn1x6flame : I think that's the trend these days! : eek: Some look nice, I like dangling ones myself, but not if it reaches your boob :eek : That's TOOO much!

My frame is too small for really big earrings. Besides, I don't know how anyone's earlobe could handle them. They look painful to me. I suppose it's like really high heels. You get used to them.

Thanks

Quote from kurips : there are no deals :coverlaf :

I want some awesome beauty deals. I actually need a few things, & that never happens.

Quote from PordaPoddy : Thanks chica! I used the 15/20/30 for the ruched tubey

Nice deal!

I just got the MJR bra you linked. (Thanks for that. ) I haven't tried it yet. I'm almost afraid to. The bras I received from there last week were extremely disappointing. They weren't at all what I was expecting. I'm trying to return them, but they still haven't sent return authorization.

That's no fun.

Quote from teenbean : Ulta deal on FP

Thanks, have you used Ulta's cosmetics? If so, how do they compare with the popular brands? I've never tried them.

I think I'm going to get more jeans...I should have ordered more when it was $60 off $150. I tried the rerock super thick stich bootcut jeans and am in love. For reference, I'm a 4 in those jeans. The length is perfect with gym shoes. I plan on wearing them as casual jeans. I think I'm going to get another two pairs.

I am sorry you are going through this. When I was forced to be in a friend's wedding, the dress shop made use order two sizes larger. I was upset because that is a lot of money for alterations. (I am short, so I was already going to have a lot chopped off the bottom. I guess, it is better to be too large than too small.

I do not even know what you can do now. Is there another dress store that you can go to that would work with you to resolve the issue? Usually, these shops can order the same styles.

Do any of you girls have an extra $10 off? I have 12 coupons for Rite Aid beauty items and/or FS with any $50 purchase, needs to include one Pink item - PIN required

I will most likely have to buy one of the samples from the store. This BM normally wears 2-4 - we ordered her a size 6 which may have worked had it actually followed the size chart. It doesn't. It fits like a size 4 in all the other bridesmaid dresses from this company. The other girls will fit into their dresses following the same formula. This one style is just smaller. They did not inform us of this, but since I didn't bring the girl in to be measured, they won't do anything about it. It is too late to order another dress.

But I guess on a brighter note, it fits me perfectly so I guess I have a new dress.

I think I have an extra one. I'll PM you.

Thanks so much! It does work and it allowed me to a return/rebuy of the cross back dress

Sorry to hear about your BM dress troubles. At least you got a new dress! But have to spend more $$

I found a VS shirt still in the plastic bag. It hadn't even been opened. I don't remember when I bought it. There's no way I'll be able to find a receipt & it's been too long for it to still be in my order history. They no longer even sell that style. It's now 2 sizes too big, so I don't have a use for it. Can it be returned for the lowest price it ever sold at, or should I just add it to my donate bags? I've never sent in a gift return or any type of return where the only info I had was on the plastic bag it's in.

$60 off $150 will probably come back again soon, if you aren't afraid they'll sell out.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'd be unhappy too. Every bridal shop I've dealt with has been totally inflexible. I don't know how they stay in business, with the poor CS they provide. I'm glad you can at least wear the dress. It would be even worse to be stuck with a dress that was useless to you.

Quote from GoHeels : $60 off $150 will probably come back again soon, if you aren't afraid they'll sell out.

Turns out I had a $50/$150 in my stash, so I caved. I'm worried about them pulling the B1G1 $29.90 sale. Does anyone know how long the B1G1 will last? I'm actually really shocked by how much I loved those jeans.

Edit: Actually, I bet that they switch sales on Monday nights. Last Monday, they had that jeans glitch. This Monday, they marked more dresses down. Perhaps Express is worth checking out late on Monday nights...or purchasing what is on sale before the next Monday.
