Avoid Bridal Gown Hell: True Stories and Tips

by Pat Esden



At closing time on the day before her wedding, Bride X picked up her gown from the bridal shop.
Months ago, she’d ordered her dream gown. It had come in as expected and the alterations had been completed on time. She’ad left it at the shop rather than storing it in her cramped closet. A smart choice—-or so she thought.

When Bride X reached her car, she couldn’t resist taking a peek at the gown. She unzipped the garment bag and to her horror discovered—-the gown was not hers.

Running full tilt with the heavy dress draped over her shoulder, Bride X got back to the shop just as the owner was locking the door. As it turned out the skirt of the two-piece gown was hers, but, because of a mistake in alphabetizing, the top belonged to a different bride’s gown.

This problem was relatively simple to fix, but other bridal gown issues can cause major stress. Click here for six anonymous stories from brides who have survived bridal gown hell.
