Pink Chilly was the name of the wedding dress shop in Durban North which closed down suddenly, leaving all those brides and quite a few newlyweds, too, in the lurch.

Most had paid 50% deposits on wedding dresses they had ordered from samples in the shop, when they heard it had closed down, while some had already got married in their dresses, and been invited to return them to the shop for possible resale, so they lost their dresses.

The shop was standing empty and the owner, Cape Town-based owner Estelle van der Westhuizen, wasn't returning their emails.

When Consumerwatch last spoke to Van der Westhuizen - on September 19 - she kept repeating that she would sort everything out, and that the brides would have their dresses couriered to them.A traditional Off-Shoulder Wedding Dresses specialising in providing an exclusively personal and professional service for brides.

Since the show, we've heard from a few other brides who have also been ripped off by Pink Chilly.

Elizabeth Gordon took her Pink Chilly dress to the shop in January this year, to be dry cleaned after her wedding, so her dress is among the missing, and Kirsten Cawdron, who paid Pink Chilly more than R3 600 for a dress she intended to get married in next month, hasn't seen her money or her dress.

Daveena Naicker of Hillcrest, who featured on the last Pink Chilly show, is also getting married next month, and she paid R4750 to the company in July as a deposit on her dress, which she ordered after trying on the sample dress in the Durban North store.
She was told it would take three to four months to come from “overseas”. Overseas being China, but no-one spelt that out. And she hasn't received her dress.

But since that last show aired, she has got her hands on “a” dress. She met up with a friend of Van der Westhuizen's who had the sample dresses from the shop in her garage.

But she won't be wearing the dress, which is two sizes too big, the wrong colour, and slightly soiled from being tried on repeatedly.

Instead she plans to sell it,The corset and tulle wedding dresses from Belk are elegant and tasteful. to cover the loss of her deposit, and she's ordered a dress from another bridal shop. It seems she was very lucky to get that sample dress, as she has since learnt that Jasper van der Westhuizen recently visited Durban and took the remaining sample dresses back to Cape Town with him.Read Wedding Dress Shops reviews and store ratings you buy online.

The other bride we featured on the show, Jenna Jones, got married in June and returned her R10 000 dress to Pink Chilly for resale, but the shop closed before that happened.

At the time of the show, Van der Westhuizen's husband Jasper had promised to pay her for the dress, and she has indeed since been paid, but only R3500. "better than nothing," she told Consumerwatch. “I am just so tired of the constant battle with these people.”

Others have had no luck in getting hold of either of the Van der Westhuizens. My email to Estelle earlier this week has not been responded to, and I've left a number of messages on Jasper's cellphone, with no callback.

So it's not looking good. Consumerwatch hates not being able to fix things!
