NEEDED BADLY: MAGGIE SOTTERO ARABELLA MARIE

Hi everyone,

I am in DIRE need of a Maggie Sottero Arabella Marie skirt in white. Ideally, I need a size 14, but can work with a 12 or 16 as well.

I wanted the black top with white accents that came with the Arabella style (which comes with a slim chiffon skirt only), but the full white ball room skirt from the Arabella Marie style (which comes with a white top with black accents). Both dresses have the exact same top, but the colors reversed. The manufacturer wouldn`t mix one top with the other skirt, and I was ready to buy two dresses to get what I wanted but my bridal shop told me they could easily make me the skirt instead. So I ordered only the dress with the colored top I wanted, and trusted my seamstress to recreate the skirt (she has the dress in Mocha to work from).

My wedding is October 17th.. I went in today for my first skirt fitting and it`s NOTHING AT ALL like the original Arabella Marie skirt! I nearly cried -- The fabric they bought was cheap and thin and they assured me it would look the "same" when backing was added. But there is no way it`ll fall the same way -- I know my fabrics. And they said that this fabric was the closest they could find. :(

Needless to say, I`m in a panic to try and find the skirt in white. I don`t care if I need to buy the whole dress, or what color the associated top is, I just need that bottom skirt inside of 2 1/2 weeks. Can anyone help save my sanity, and my wedding day?? :(

Disgruntled bride to be,
-Lisa
