I have been told numerous times - I am pretty laid back for a bride. That was my goal from the beginning - to never let them see me sweat ...and god forbid show any signs of "Bridezilla". Well, she came out last night and she might actually be here to stay. I know I was "late" ordering our bridesmaids dresses (if you consider in wedding lingo that six months before the wedding is late), but as I was told in December that we would be fine, but order them by this date (Dec. 8). So I did just that, ordered them on Dec. 1 to be exact. The saleslady at the bridal store stated that we should be getting them in by the second week of March at the earliest, but I quote - "Jim Hjelm is really good - so no worries."
I could give you the whole long drawn-out story (here are the cliff notes version - me calling them on March 20; talk to rude saleswoman who tells me that I should have them in a week; On March 31, me calling again; they never calling me back; me calling again and talk to extremely rude, rude salesperson, who tells me April 2; me calling again and never hearing back), but rather just end with my vent instead.
I am not a pest. I do not call over and over again just to hear the same answer. If you tell me that my dresses are going to be here the second week of March. I believe you. I only call when it is now April and I have not seen the dresses. I also call back when you tell me you are going to call me with an answer and days go by and I have not received a call.
So fast forward to last night. I called after again not receiving a call when promised. This time - the sales lady actually said, "Oh, you again." And that is when it happened. I snapped and Bridezilla reared her ugly head. I am to receive a call today. I am going to be optimistic and believe them. Because after a couple glasses of wine last night, I have decided this will be the one and only time that Bridezilla makes an appearance.

OMG- I would be so ticked off at that comment... let alone the fact that they are seriously stringing you along. Do Not Feel Bad for Demanding An Answer!!!!
It is really not 'bridezillaish'- anyone who pays for something, is told a delivery date, and then receives no solid response or new date several weeks later has the right be ticked. They are simply not holding up their end of the transaction.
I hope they call you and {after apologizing for being rude} can tell you when the dresses will arrive!
I agree with Tara, don't think you are a bridezilla for wanting what you deserve. I feel your pain although maybe not to this extent. How do businesses get away with things like this? Do people not realize they when they promise something they should deliver and yes things happen we have to understand but they should apologize, not be rude to you! Don't let those losers make you feel bad. AFTER you get your dresses trash their name all over the internet, that will show them!
Ah! Thank you, thank you. I thought maybe I was being way dramatic about this. HOWEVER, They did not call me back...yeah. I ended up calling them again and talking to the sixth rude person. I finally took her name when she said that more than likely it will not be until next week but the end of April at the latest. Ugh - I so want to trash them, but will wait until I get the darn dresses!
I bought my bridesmaids' dresses in Boston (where I live now, though the wedding will be in Chicago) and the same thing happened to me. The store told me 12 weeks and it ended up being 5 months (2 months longer). Luckily I bargained with this fact and got the company to waive shipping to their salons in other cities, so all but one of my six bridesmaids won't have to pay an additional $25.
