I know some people are aound this area, so I just wanted to tell of my experience and what I have found out today. I don't like doing this, but just so you all know, the place I am talking about is called "Wedding Expressions" in Burlington, IA. Please tell anyone who this may pertain to, because nothing is being advertised about this:
I found out through a friend that her friend was having problems with their wedding dress place, and that it is in the same town as were I got the BM dresses. So I ask her the name of the place and she tells me last night. I come to find out that it is the same place as where I got our bridesmaid dresses! THE PLACE WENT BANKRUPT AND IS CLOSED. The girls have paid for their dresses but they have not come in yet. I tried calling several times and the phone just rang and rang. So I call the police and they have me file a police report (I am not the first one to have this problem). If we do not get our dresses like we are suppose to, it will go to a civil court case.
Finally, I do get ahold of someone at the dress place. I guess a lady is working there just a few hours a day trying to get everything figured out. I guess the owner just up and left (rumor has it that he may have taken some of the people's money). Supposidly (sp), the lady said that he is going to honor the people who have their orders alreay in and that we WILL get our dresses. GOD I HOPE SO!! She said that my dresses are scheduled to be in around April 9th, and that if the owner doesn't call me by the 10th, that I need to call him. So she gave me his home phone number to call if I don't hear from him. Now I have to wait until April 9th to see if the guy is sincere and will actually give me the dresses like he is suppose to do! It's not like I am stressed out enough!!!!
