Last weekend was Hannah's prom. We started the dress hunt in early March and after looking at just about every prom dress for sale in the state of Delaware she finally found this one online....
It would take 3 weeks to make, 10 days to ship. We ordered it~ she was so happy!(I won't mention the name of the website...but there it is in the photo!)
Two weeks before prom the dress still hadn't arrived...I started emailing them." Don't worry, we're working on it, it will make it for May 7th." This is what they kept telling me. These emails come from "Boris" and he's writing in broken english...I'm starting to worry.
Eight days til prom...still no dress. The last email says they're shipping it on May 2nd. From China!! No way Boris...it ain't making it. I went to paypal and filed a dispute (thank goodness I paid with paypal!!). 24 hours later I was refunded.
So...she borrowed a dress from a friend ....
Hannah's in pink... 
and had a great time....
phew!
That's good to know about Paypal, I always use it when I purchase on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks gorgeous, what divine hair she has!!! I think her dress looks perfect, blondes look so good in pink:) My 2 older boys never went to their proms, my youngest will be a senior next year but I doubt he'll go either...it would be fun if he would tho!
Hannah looked as beautiful as her smile!. I know how hard it is to find a prom dress..My daughter Bernadette and I looked for days and could not find a dress for her, she is very tiny and everything over powered her. We ended up designing a dress and sewing it. She looked perfect and she was happy.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the girls are happy the day of their prom is all that counts.. Hannah's date looks very handsome :)
I love proms! and seeing the kids all dressed up.
Have a sweet day and big hugs, Elizabeth
I love the gown you tried to get for her BUT I have to say she IS exquisite in pink. What a beauty. Tell her I said she needs some mace in her purse, JIC...ya never know!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Yep, thank goodness for Paypal! Hannah looked beautiful in the chosen gown, and you both will always remember this prom!
ReplyDeleteI just saw you in Romantic Homes, Congratulations! I spotted your work right away!
Lots of hugs,

What a shame...you certainly ordered it well ahead of time. But it all ended well and Hannah looks beautiful!

They're all so glamorous! Hannah is the fairest of the fair though.
ReplyDeleteOh Paula Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteYour baby, Hannah is just gorgeous. I love her photos and so pretty in PINK. I love it. How wonderful that she had a friend, and was able to share at the last minute. I am so tickled it all worked out in the end. That smile on her face says it all.
Have a glorious Sunday sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
