A Bronx woman had dreams of passing on a special wedding
dress to her daughter – that is, if it ever seen again.
Theresa Pinto got married in Nov. 2019 to her sweetheart of
13 years. It was purchased for her by her daughter, who is in the military.
She turned to David’s Bridal to clean and preserve the
white gown and was told it would take 6-8 weeks. That was in Dec. 2019. The
dress is still missing.
Pinto says she has been in contact with David's Bridal and
Gowns Preservation with no avail. It even got to the point when she says one of
the managers tried to convince her she never dropped off her dress.
“The responses I’m getting from them is they don’t have the
dress. UPS doesn’t have it – and Pricilla from Wedding Gowns Preservations
didn’t receive it, as well,” Pinto told News 12.
David's Bridal gave News 12 a statement about the missing
dress:
“From our investigation, it looks like the UPS tracking was
never scanned at the point of origin, and the Memories Team [at Gown
Preservations] confirmed that they never received the package. Our team, as
well as the team at Memories, have been in touch with the customer, and we will
do whatever we need to do to course correct this matter and make the customer
whole again.”
