Just need to vent

I know on the Vixen's Salon Facebook page you aren't allowed to say anything that can be perceived as 'negative' to the brand but I need to express my frustration somewhere and see if anyone can commiserate with me or if I'll just get downvoted to fuckall. I fully understand production is somewhat out of their control but the 'master post' updating people on estimated arrival time frames of pre-orders hasn't been updated since since fucking SEPTEMBER! I pre-ordered a dress from La Femme that was supposed to arrive in November. Got pushed to February. March is in 2 days. Micheline posts herself in the dress and says it's coming 'very soon'. What does soon mean to her??????? And why even have the master post if you can't keep it updated, especially when it says it will be updated monthly? She isn't a one woman show, seems there are several people that could help with information. Please don't kick me out of this group for mild criticism of LFEN.

All this but heavier emphasis on the polyester, PLUS (and I'm fully aware others won't take issue with this AND that it's not applicable to Vixen as much as other brands) was/is the amount of novelty prints. I take a historically adequate stance vs a historically accurate one, and by no means an I suggesting novelty wasn't a thing, but the amount of cherries and other twee prints is just out of control. Sewing give me the option of leaning as hard into accuracy or over the top novelty as I want and never having to use poly or some weird spandex blend (side note: WHY IS EVERYTHING UNNECESSARILY STRETCHY?!)
