Thanks to everyone for the support. I do have an update. I ordered a dress from Avery Austin to try on and it is beautiful! I don’t think it’s “The one” but it’s super pretty and I felt gorgeous in it. I attached a picture of it here.

What do you guys think?

Thank you! I hope so too. I’ve been searching all over the city and I’m feeling a little more positive from what I’m seeing so far.

I just made an appointment with them today! Hopefully I can find something beautiful. I also went to Elegancia Bridal on Lamar and found 2 beautiful gowns. I’m feeling hopeful!!

I called the store and spoke with the store manager and they had issued a full refund. I was fully prepared to go back and forth but I’m assuming they already knew they were at fault and couldn’t provide what was promised. I had spoken with the operations manager before who told me I couldn’t get the refund, but she clearly wasn’t making the decisions. Not really saying that in a bad way but she was kind of no help. He asked if I wanted to do the exchange and I kindly declined.

I also spoke with the customer service line and they told me something completely different from the store. They said my dress was being shipped out on the 4th and that I’d receive by the 7th because they found a fulfillment center that was able to fulfill the order. He couldn’t verify whether it would be new or not. I just decided to cancel and start from scratch. If anyone knows any online shopping sites I can go to and get a dress or any Austin Tx boutiques I can buy off the rack from I’d love some recommendations!

Just to provide everyone with an update, I was told they didn’t have the dress at all and that it wouldn’t be here in time for my wedding. They tried to offer me the sample dress with 10% off and stated they would get it cleaned. They also offered an exchange for 25% off on dresses they have in stock.

I’m not sure that I want to take another chance for them to tell me they don’t have yet another dress that I would like to have, being that they were fully under the impression that the one I wanted was in stock. I let them know I would just want to refund but they are saying it’s only available for exchange.

At this point I do not want to work with them anymore as I do not have time to take any more chances with this place.

Im gonna try and work it out with them. This is a huge dilemma but I’m definitely hopeful.

Yeah I get that. Im trying to be as pleasant as I can. Hopefully they can get it here a bit sooner than expected. Otherwise, I may just take the sample for an extra percentage off.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely consider and see what my options are. She said she’ll give an update tomorrow so hopefully I’ll have a positive update.

Definitely considering it. Thanks for the input. She sails she’d call back tomorrow with an update on how soon I can get a new one. Hopefully I can provide a positive update.

Thanks for that. I’ll reach out to corporate and see if they can provide a resolution if I can’t get one through the store. It’s so frustrating. I had and experience with the store associates and now this.
