One of the problems these girls may be having is having the money to buy the dress, shoes, and accessories. Are the dresses expensive? Are they students who just started a new semester 2 weeks ago? Do they have to travel a long distance for the dress? Is your Maid of Honor close with these girls? If so, maybe she could handle it gently. Like letting them know that you have a ton of things to worry about and they are adding to the stress levels in high numbers. And maybe these girls don`t have the guts to tell you that they just can`t afford it and don`t know how to tell you. Maybe they have to save up for the dress and are having a hard time with it. Your MOH would be able to get much more info without hurting anyone. Your MOH is there to help you with whatever it is you need, let her. But I do agree your wedding is coming fast and you need some answers now. Don`t delay. And try to remember that you picked these girls to stand up with you for a reason. And although your wedding is consuming every second of your life, it is not fair for you to expect that from everyone else. Lives still go on outside of your wedding plans, try to have faith and understanding for them as well.
