Crisis narrowly averted
Thursday, January 24th, 2008So, I finally called up the dress shop today.
Melissa and I finally found a Saturday when we’re both available to go make the trek through frothy whiteness to find my dress. You remember my dress, right?
So I call up Girls in White Dresses and leave a message letting them know that I want to make an appointment to check out a bridesmaid’s dress. A girl calls me back and we go through all my information when she asks, “What line were you looking at?”
“Simple Silhouettes,” I reply.
“Oh, we actually just discontinued that line. We’re waiting to have it taken off our website.”
Completely crestfallen, I end the conversation and start hyperventilating. I want this dress, nay, I need this dress. I called Rob to tell him the bad news.
“Where else do they have it?” He asked.
“I don’t know…” I said, starting to whine. “They’re based in New York.”
“Do we need to fly you out there? I’ll look at Skybus,” Rob said. I told him to check the designer’s website and see if they had another, closer location. He found a place in Cincinnati.
I called this place up and told the girl I wanted to make an appointment to look at a bridesmaid dress. She took my information and then asked me how many bridesmaids I had.
“Umm, it’s actually for me…”
This was the part I was really worried about. I’m convinced that places won’t let you buy a bridesmaid dress if you’re the bride.
“Oh, like an alternative wedding dress?” The girl asked.
“Yes, exactly,” I said. Whatever you say, lady.
“And what line were you looking at?”
I crossed my fingers. “Simple Silhouettes…?”
“Oh yeah,” she said. “Love them!”
So the appointment is booked. Saturday, February 16. I hope this dress is as wonderful as I think it is.
