It seemed like I waited a long time for the Angie's top pick dress, and am now waiting a very long time for it in the next size up and a duplicate in the same size as I am hoping for a different pattern placement. So that is 3 dresses that no one else can get, while I wait.
If I had ordered the dress in two sizes it would have been one size below what I had ordered and the size I ordered, so ordering 2 sizes doesn't necessarily prevent this problem. Last year I ordered two sizes in a lot of items and then returned almost everything, and this time I just didn't want to have to do so many returns. Which worked well, because I don't want different sizes on other items I ordered; they just don't work. So, I guess it's good that I didn't hold up those items by ordering them in two sizes.
The first order was placed the 12th and the dress arrived the 19th. The second order was placed on the 19th, scheduled to arrive the 31st. A long time to wait.
