PITTSBURG, Calif. (KGO) — For an East Bay woman getting married in less than two weeks and without a wedding dress, this is a wedding dress nightmare.

It looks like the bridal shop where she purchased the custom-made dress has since closed.

“I’m excited to be married and now I’m very nervous about the wedding… I’m not going to lie!”

Bride-to-be Akila Mwongozi is a little nervous because the beautiful dress she planned to wear at her upcoming wedding on September 1 is nowhere to be found. The bridal shop Bellisima Couture where she bought the dress and had it custom-made in Pittsburg has literally disappeared.

“Completely empty! No clothes, nothing. I just thought, what’s going on? I really thought something had happened to her,” said Mwongozi.

Mwongozi was able to contact the woman who ran the shop, who told her to stop by a house down the street to pick up the dress, but when she went, no one was there.

When we passed by on Wednesday, no one was there.

“It looks dark inside, I’m not sure if anyone is home,” said ABC7 news reporter JR Stone.

Those who lived near the bridal shop actually saw the woman packing up the dresses and clearing out the store.

“All I saw was her working alone, moving racks of clothes and clearing out clothes,” said Stefani Blakley of Pittsburg.

Mwongozi’s friends are outraged by what happened and sad that the wedding is now less than two weeks away and she still doesn’t have a dress.

“Let me tell you, JR, I’m the friend that would camp outside this person’s house. That’s what I was willing to do because who does that to someone? You have to be heartless to do something like that. I find it disgusting,” said Carlina Williams.

“One person who didn’t even know me saw a post on Facebook and sent a dress to UPS in San Diego. So if it fits me, you know, that could be the dress. And then I have a friend who has two dresses, so we’re working with those three dresses. I don’t know if they’ll fit me, but I’ll have about three days to figure that out when I get to San Diego.”

Mwongozi, however, remains optimistic, nervous but excited about the wedding with her fiancé and tries to lighten the situation with humour. She says she almost took his tuxedo to that shop too.

“That was almost gone too because I took his suit to her to get it altered. I also took my goddaughter’s dress to get altered but because she was taking so long with my things, I decided to go somewhere else and we got it back quickly. Thank God I didn’t leave it there otherwise I would have lost my veil… that and everything else,” Mwongozi said.

We contacted the bridal shop but, like Mwongozi, received no response.
