You are not really a princess. You want to play at being a princess, which is okay. Just remember you're not the only one playing the game.
If you wait until four weeks before your wedding to pick dresses for yourself or your bridesmaids, you may have to choose from what's in stock, or pay a rush fee to have it sent quicker.
If it comes from China, it takes 15 weeks to get here.
Whining won't make it appear faster.
If you're over 15 years of age, and/or wear a DD cup, you need a bra. Yes, you really do. Boobs you can tuck under your belt do not look attractive, by Western standards. And no, I can't make an off-the-rack dress fit you like custom-made, and have it hold up the girls without a bra. It was manufactured for women who wear bras.
If you wait until two weeks before your wedding to try on your dress, and decide it needs to be fitted, don't act surprised that we're too booked to work you in.
Don't add insult to injury, and claim no one told you about having your dress hemmed. The sales staff is evaluated on how many customers they get booked for alteration services. The manager walks the floor reminding customers to schedule now, avoid the rush! The CSRs spend evenings on the phone calling women and asking, "You've purchased a dress from us, do you need it bustled, or altered to fit?"
Your friends weren't helping you. The one berating me, and repeating, "But you sold her the dress! You have to alter it!" was clearly unaware that in this state, even prisoners can't be forced to work if they chose not to. We certainly can't be forced to work overtime, (happily, that goes against company policy)
Your other friend, the one who kept carping "but it's so simple! It can't take very long." should just hire some one off the street, or do it for you herself, if it's that simple.

Gold tends to disappear on my skin anyways, I've too yellow a skintone for it. Silver looks pretty good, but I really like the earthy tones of a slightly aged bronze.
