I am a mom who pays either upfront, or in a timely manner for my dd's attire. I have ordered from the not so well known to the well known designers, and frankly, I'm getting tired of late orders, ignored emails, and disregarded deadlines. I am not late in paying. If I have a scheduled payment, I don't disregard that deadline. The designer receives her money if full or within a month. But it takes 2-4 months after I pay in full to receive my merchandise! I'm getting sick of it! I paid in full for a dress on July 27th, and my order is late. Almost a month late. The designer hasn't returned my emails in 6 days. This is after I got tired of waiting for late orders from another designer. Does everyone go through this? I'm the customer, I placed a very expensive order, doen't this amount to some sort of guest satisfaction or customer service? I run a business, and would I pull this at my job? NO Way! If I did, I wouldn't be making any money at all, and would end up losing my job! I am litterally begging for an order hundreds of hundreds of dollars, and being ignored! I don't get it!

I understand your frustration, I would be mad too. Not all customers are like you and not all clothes makers are like the ones you have dealt with. THe best thing to do is ask for references, lots of them. And to go by word of mouth. Nothing like getting info from someone who has been there. I know many dress makers that work full time making clothes and they sometimes run late and sometimes don't. Many times the most creative minds hate to be rushed and many times people are jsut irresponsible and that is tough when that happens. I am not making excuses for them at all, just stating facts.

I have been making clothes for several years and have never not met a deadline, ever. But I also have a full time job and do not take orders I can't fill eiter.

Good luck!

You never know who is really making the clothes you are buying. Some of the big names do their own things but there are only so many hours in a day and when some take as many orders as they do you can bet someone else is helping out.
