  • Ah, the inevitable fall from grace. My dress arrived right on schedule and J Majors touched base to let me know. Since I don't live in Charlotte, they even offered to bring it to Raleigh and meet me somewhere for my first fitting (based on a schedule when one of their employees would be headed to Raleigh anyway). As it turned out, though, I was already planning to spend a weekend in Charlotte for a wedding, so I decided to just schedule an appointment at the store to come in for a first fitting. We agreed we'd do one fitting the day of my arrival and then another the following day. When I arrived, there was some confusion. My Sunday appointment was in the books, but not the Saturday appointment, so the tailor was not there. They have an Anna's Altererations store next door and grabbed someone from there to do the first round of measurements. The dress. I went into a fitting room, slipped it on, and nearly had a heart attack. It was HUGE. As in, if I let go of the top of the dress, the entire gown would slide off my body to the floor. It didn't fit anywhere -- not even on my ample hips! When I let J Majors take my measurements and order a size 8 (I'm a street size 0-2), it was in good faith that they are far more experienced than me with bridal sizes and fitting girls and that the dress would be a good fit. I even had to sign off on their disclaimer (that scares girls into ordering the suggested size or J Majors will not be held responsible if it's too small, etc.) The dress size was such a disaster, and I was already frustrated by their mistake in the schedule. But I was already in town, and what was I going to do -- refuse the gown and wait another 3 months for another one to be made? And create bad blood with the bridal salon? So I put my faith in Anna's Alterations. The girls at J Majors were nice enough to transport the gown to Anna's flagship store, which is elsewhere in Charlotte. And they also called her and explained the situation and made sure I could get the gown turned around that weekend while in town. Anna's is awesome and they did some speedy alterations and sized the gown down beautifully. But it also cost me $400! I have a feeling had J Majors correctly fitted me in the first place, I wouldn't have encountered nearly so much expense at the tailor.
