Bridesmaid dresses, store lies for months, now out business, wedding in 3 weeks [SOLVED]

And once again, if that's a concern you have, politely decline. It's $18. The members of your wedding party are chosen on the criteria that they are the nearest and dearest people to you, so if you're going to make a capital case out of twenty bucks, just don't bother.
Edit: And it's not like I'm charging anyone $18 extra. It took me dozens of phone calls to get to this point. I've spent the better part of my day for the last week dealing with this issue, when I'm sure it's not usually the groom who is sorting out dress problems. I won't go into detail about problems we've had with some members of the party over the past couple months, but if they come back right now and tell me they have a problem with $18 or that they're going to cancel their hair appointment, I'm going to tell them to not bother coming at all.
I want to say, first of all, congratulations on getting married! It's a happy time for you and your soon-t-be-wife and you should do your best to not let all of this make you miserable.
Second, Good on you for doing all of this and not just losing your mind, giving up, and smacking people. You have the (apparent) patience of a saint.
Third, if those girls can't appreciate all that you've done for them, and their friend the bride, in the manner of trying to get this and everything else all sorted, then you have every right to be upset with them.
Seriously dude, congrats and good on ya.
Good luck! Remember to breathe, and remember to enjoy it.
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
I spoke with the bridesmaids that were threatening to cancel their hair appointments because of the dress price increase. They're going to stick with their appointments now. I just asked them to do this if only to avoid adding another source of stress to the bride. They agreed.
My math was actually off too. It's only 13 and change more for the dress than their original price. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it has something to do with the wholesaler charging more to the store to get the dresses out. If they're going to be annoyed with that then whatever. The dresses should be ready tomorrow, and I have arranged for someone to pick the entire order up and bring it to a more central location (the bridal shop was 20 min away from everyone).
This should be all over tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
This should be the entirety of the Accumulated Forum Knowledge.
Glad it worked out for you, at least the best of the available options.
We had to compete with a huge brood of cicadas and Aretha Franklin at our wedding.
I called the manager this afternoon and she was just leaving Toronto with the dresses--I guess she ended up picking them up herself. Oddly enough, that is what I suggested to her the first time we ever spoke and she said it wasn't an option. Oh well, the bride-to-be went down tonight and picked up the dresses from the manager's home, went to her mom's house, and the girls came by and paid and picked up their dresses.
