Trying not to panic

So yesterday I went to have my first fitting with my wedding dress. I took a friend with me which I am so glad I did. Now I don't remember if I mentioned this but I ordered my dress at the end of October and it came in 7 weeks later. Way earlier than they expected. So when I went in January to pick out my veil she showed me my dress. I opted to not try it on because I was alone and not expecting that it would be there. I picked out my veil and was told I would hear from them first week of March.

Well Monday they call saying it was time for my first fitting. I scheduled it for 3pm on Friday afternoon so we could leave work early. I get there and and start putting it on. My friend immediately said Heather something is wrong. I look down at my feet and see what she is talking about. It is too short. And by that I mean even someone not as tall as me it would have been a little short on them too. I start trying to breathe and surprisingly I was not freaking out. My friend looks at the seamstress and said they didn't add the 5 inches at all. This should have been super long. It is like they removed 5 inches or something. I know it was slightly shorter than the sample even was. The manager of the store(by the way of very well known high end store) comes in and she starts flipping out. I think she was mad for the both of us. She measures and said they didn't do anything they were told to do. Again I am still breathing being that my wedding was exactly 3 months from that exact day.

The manger says I can't get the company on the phone but they have to fix this immediately. I am still just breathing. I mean seriously what could I do. It had already been a bad week with a few things already going wrong. I thought this can't be the worse thing. She said I will hear from her next week. I am hoping that means Monday so at least I have a date. Otherwise I might start to panic.

At least we know the dress was the right size and I shouldn't have too much taken in. And my shoes worked great with it. But that was about all we could determine. I was in and out there in 15 minutes and we hit a bar so I could have a few drinks to calm down. Thank God for my friend because I can't imagine being alone and that happening!!! Cross your fingers I here from them Monday.
