Went by the store today to try on dresses and had such a great experience! The staff was fantastic, the place was so cute and charming, and they had a huge selection! They really listened to everything I said and really found dresses that captu...
red the look I wanted. Loved every second of being in the store and what they stand for!
I was lucky enough to have heard about BABC from a random acquaintance. I went to the store to donate my dress and was impressed with both the business model - affordable wedding dresses in support of a great cause - as well as their large, w...
ell organized selection. I wish I had known about them before I bought my dress!
So I haven't yet pulled the trigger on a dress but this was such a fantastic place to shop, I just have to write a great review. Sam was such a pleasure to work with - she pulled gowns in my size ahead of time and was solely devoted to me the e...
ntire time I was there. The store had a great selection of donated dresses, some brand new! And who could argue with the cause they are supporting - it's a no-brainer!
The whole experience was great! I'm excited to go back in a month or so to see what else has come in! And seriously...the prices are AMAZING!!!!!!
I always dreamed of being a princess on my wedding day, but alas, our budget wasn't large enough for my dream dress. However, my planner did suggest going through BABC, a wonderful organization that sells donated dresses and gowns that were pr...
eviously used, and those funds go back to the organization and their mission against breast cancer. I didn't have a problem with this, so made the trip out with my girls to one of their shows where we all had fun! I tried on at least 7 dresses before my MOH brought me THE dress, a donated RANIA HATOUM gown! I couldn't believe it! It was a little big on me, but I got it altered. I couldn't believe that I got a $15K dress for not even $1500! Got my veil from them too, and picked up accessories for my bridal party and I from BABC as well. Such a wonderful organization that gives back!
I cannot speak enough to how happy I was to have learned about Brides Against Breast Cancer early on in my wedding planning! I was very nervous as to how I was going to be able to afford all of the items for my wedding and when I heard about BA...
BC I HAD to see what it was all about! I went to the event in Baldwinsville, NY and it was SOOO much fun! I brought my mother, aunt and best friend and I was able to try on as many dresses as I could to find the right one! All of the dresses were BEAUTIFUL and were listed at very affordable prices. The volunteers were so helpful and I still felt like I had a boutique experience! I ended up finding the perfect dress and I looked like a princess on my wedding day. I would recommend that anyone who is dress shopping to see if there is an event local to them to attend!
I found out about the shop after I had bought my dress, but did go in to look for a veil. They had a good selection of items and were helpful the day that I went (I was also the only one in the store). The store has a "warehouse" feel, so if yo...
u're looking for a pretty and bright shop, this won't be it.
Definitely a good cause and worth supporting if you find something you like there.
If you are lucky enough to have one of these sales come to a city near you, by all means go. You'd be amazed at the dresses you will find in the sale, not to mention the money goes to a truly amazing and important cause. Most of the dresses I l...
ooked at were bridal salon sample gowns and had never been worn. The prices were an excellent value and the selection was amazing. I found my dream gown and had a great time shopping for it as well. Definitely give this sale a try as you will not be disappointed and you certainly won't ever regret where the money you spend on your dress is going!
I wanted so much to find my dream wedding dress and support this amazing cause, and was sorely disappointed by my experience at Brides for Breast Cancer in NYC.
1. The VIP tickets promised admission before general admission, but tickets wer...
en't even checked, and there was no "early access" -- everyone got in at the same time.
2. Although it was supposed to begin at 11, admission to the main hall with the dresses didn't even begin until 11:50 (they weren't running late, they just want you to spend 50 minutes with nothing to do other than meet the vendors they have sold space to in the adjoining room.)
3.) There were no "light bites or signature beverages" -- in fact, there was not a single thing to eat or drink. There really wasn't anything VIP about this event.
4.) After 50 minutes of waiting, we are finally admitted to the room with the dresses. Unless you have questionable taste or are really undiscriminating, you'd be really lucky to find something great here: most of the dresses are old and out of style, or are simply poor quality. (Think David's Bridal from 2005.)
5.) If you do miraculously find a dress that you think you might like, enjoy waiting in line for half an hour to try it on.
In short: great idea, poor execution. Don't waste your time here.
I found Brides Against Breast Cancer via my local news and I'm so excited I decided to check it out. It was a great afternoon with my mom and aunt. There were local vendors to check out and hundreds of dresses to try on. There were volunteers w...
andering around to help pick out and carry dresses and I found my dress that day. It's stunning and incredibly reasonably priced. It was originally $2000 and I got it for $860. The bride who had it before me had been very nice to it. I plan on donating the dress back again, so hopefully it can keep on giving.
I knew for a long time that I didn't want a new dress. I wanted a sustainable wedding, and I felt that a used dress fit that requirement. But in looking at second-hand dresses, I was so disappointed. I found out about BABC by accident. I think ...
they had been advertising at a local bridal show, and I loved the idea of having both a second-hand dress AND making my dollars go to charity. The events are staffed by volunteers, and I will admit that the person that was originally helping me choose my gown did not know what I was looking for, but she was still really helpful and sweet. Everyone there was very nice, and easy to work with, and I got to take my dress home that same day! I was so happy with the experience that I convinced a friend to buy her gown there and also volunteered myself. It's a fantastic organization, and I urge brides that are looking for a gown to try it out---they even sell new gowns there! It's worth an afternoon!
I did not expect to find my dress here, but it was so perfect for me. I arrived when the function ended because I was confused about the time, and a girl welcomed me in and told me to take as long as I wanted trying on dresses! I was trying o...
n a few while they were taking down their event, and I wasn't finding anything I liked. She suggested a dress for me, and it was the one! They made it very special for me, even though I arrived late. She even took off an extra $600! I got a designer dress for 73% off the retail value. It was the best place to get a dress.
Amazing event. They serve cocktails and provide appetizers. The first dress I tried on I bought. I also was the first bride that day who found her dress so I was treated to a makeover (by the makeup team who I ended up hiring- Your Bridal Suite...
out of CT)and a photo shoot. I received SO many compliments on my dress. I will donate it back to continue the good cause. You will have fun and most likely find the dress of your dreams (at an amazing deal) for a great cause.
Karen was so friendly and helpful when my mom and I made an appointment for me to try on wedding dresses. Karen spent almost two hours with us. She listened to what kind of dress I wanted, as well as my price range, and brought many options f...
or me. She was not pushy, but did offer her opinion when asked. She knew just what to ask to help me decide on my dream dress. I was so happy with the dress I chose, and the price was perfect. The dress looked beautiful in all the wedding pictures, and I received many compliments. Very good experience, highly recommended!
While vacationing in Sarasota, FL, my mom found an article about Brides Against Breast Cancer in the newspaper of all places! We called and made an appointment thinking there might be a few dresses to see. Little did we know that Sarasota house...
s the storeroom of thousands of dresses!!! I spent a full afternoon with my mom trying on the many dresses the wonderful Karen brought out to us! It was hard to pick a favorite out of so many!!! The appointment was so much fun, as well as comfortable and easy-going. We never once felt rushed or in the way, as we were the only clients that whole afternoon! I fell in love with a one of a kind couture gown, and lets just say, the price was unbelievable (90% off regular price - due to some wear and tear). I never once imagined I could ever afford a gown that gorgeous, and to think that my money was going towards an amazing charity made it even MORE Unbelievable. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them!!! Even if it means having to travel to one of their show locations! Believe me, its worth it!!
I was blessed to find my dress at an event called Brides Against Breast Cancer! I found the most perfect dress for me. My dress was a Maggie Sottero dress, and I paid much less than I would have in a regular salon. And, to make things even bett...
er, all the proceeds from my dress went straight to breast cancer research. I am a huge advocate of breast cancer research, as a few members of my family have been affected by this disease, and it was an awesome feeling to know that I supported this cause. I highly recommend everyone to at least attend an event to take a look at the dresses they have to offer. You never know what you might find!
To start, 2 years after my husband and I started dating, his mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. So buying a wedding dress where all the money went toward breast cancer research made so much more sense than giving hundreds or thousands to ...
some bridal shop. At the Dress sale, there were a tone of beautiful dress in my size that were both affordable and in impeccable condition. Everyone thought my dress was absolutely beautiful and I am positive I would not have been able to find a unique dress that fit my style that was also in budget anywhere else.
I first heard about BABC at a bridal expo. My MOH and I went to their benefit in Clearwater, FL. It was definitely crazy! When I purchased my dress I was happy. As the day drew closer I started to feel unhappy in my dress so I contacted them. ...
I had an appointment the next week. I much prefer going to the shop since it's more relaxed and one on one. I found a gown that was perfect! I couldn't think of a better way for a bride to stay on budget and donate to a great cause. I will most certainly be going back to donate my dress!
When I found out about Brides Against Breast Cancer I felt very strongly about getting my dress from such a great organization. I called BABC and described my ideal dress. When I arrived with my mom and sisters for my appointment they had a num...
ber of dresses pulled. As I tried on each dress they would ask me what I liked and didnt like and would pull another. In the end I ended up with my dream dress that fit me perfectly (and was nothing like what I had thought I wanted). I also got my veil and spent a fraction of what I had budgeted. In addition that fact that the money went to a good cause left me with a good feeling even after my wedding.
What can I say other than you get an amazing dress at around half market value. All proceeds go to breast cancer research and education. Can't say enough wonderful things. The only negative might be that since the dresses are donated you might ...
fall in love with a dress in the wrong size.
I knew the exact kind of dress I wanted and had a budget. The friendly staff found my dream dress and kept me within budget. I also got my veil here and a pretty beaded hair clip. Love this place.
I got my dress from the brides against breast cancer event in Emeryville, CA. They had hundreds and hundreds of gowns to choose from and all at a discounted price. The gowns were in great condition, they're either previously worn or sample sa...
le gowns. I found a great dress and the proceeds benefit a great cause. My mom passed away from breast cancer a few years ago, so being able to have the proceeds of my dress go to breast cancer really meant a lot to me. It was also a great place to meet bridal vendors in my area. I highly recommend attending these events to find your gown!
I got my wedding dress at on the BABC tour. The girls to help you find dresses were so nice and I was so happy that the money goes towards such a great cause.
I am so honored to be able to list BABC as my dress vendor. The ladies there were so helpful and so encouraging. I never expected to purchase a used dress but I am so glad that I did. The dress I purchased was beautiful. It was the first dre...
ss I tried on it was everything I wanted from my trying on experience. Thank you for all you guys do and for all the people that you are helping.
The experience of trying on the dresses wasn't the most ideal. You don't have much privacy and it can get crowded at times but the volunteers were helpful. They even had shoes, veils clamps and other accessories that you could try with the dres...
ses to get a better idea of the final result. I am so glad I got my dress from such a wonderful organization. Beautiful dress and does beautiful, too
My mom, sister and I went to a BABC event in Denver and had no intention of finding my gown there. We went to look around and get ideas of what I would want my dress to look like, not the actual dress itself! They had a great selection even f...
or bigger girls like myself! We tried on dozens of dresses and I fell in love with one that just happened to grab my mom's attention!
I'm so glad I did find my dress with BABC though, its a truly great cause! I found the perfect wedding dress and got to help in the fight against breast cancer all while spending less than half my dress budget!
I got my dress at the Santee Bridal Outlet, from the woman who runs Brides Against Breast Cancer. After sorting through a lot of donated dresses and sample dresses, I found a gorgeous Amsale dress that was a 7000 dollar dress, and she sold it f...
or 600 and a percentage of the proceeds went to breast cancer garment making and to Camp Happy Days, a local camp for kids with cancer. It was a beautiful dress, and an even more beautiful cause.
I really wanted to use this vendor, besides they have such a great cause to support
My first dress shopping experience in a salon left me overwhelmed, and wondering if I was going to have a dress I like. To fit the dress of my dreams my budget was too small.
At the brides against breast cancer event I found an amazing dres...
s that I had renovated into exactly what I wanted! The cost savings were amazing and even after all the alterations I stayed UNDER my budget!
This event is packed with all kinds of dress. GO EARLY, but the VIP ticket and have some help with you! You will find what you want!
Having a history of cancer and breast cancer in my family, I had hopes of supporting the organization with purchasing a wedding gown. I wasn't sure what to expect in quality or quantity but I knew I had to try on gowns there. We eloped to Hawai...
i and planned our wedding from Florida in less than 60 days. We wanted a simple, classic, and natural environment for our wedding. I had shopped for dresses online but saved the boutique shopping day with friends and family for Brides Against Breast Cancer. Karen helped make my wedding dress shopping relaxed and easy! We had previously discussed the location, venue, and budget of my wedding in order for her to pull dresses for the shopping day. She had great options picked out but saved the best for last. It was my perfect gown! More than I thought I wanted but I felt like a bride! She stayed within my budget and found my gown. I can't wait to share pictures with her and BABC. I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day!
I found a beautiful dress without any obvious marks of wear, and the woman (CA survivor) who helped me was wonderful. It felt great to contribute, and not feel guilty about throwing money at a dress that I only wear for one day! There are all r...
anges of boutique dresses. AND other vendors contribute to the event, so I had my hair and makeup done for free.
I bought my wedding gown from the tour at the Millenium Hotel Tour in Cincinnati. It had very intricate beading all over it and was custom designed. I only payed $500 for it no tax. However, the alterations were costly. I don't believe I wouldv...
'e gotten as much gown and detail for the price I paid anywhere else brand new. What a steal.
I bought my dress from the traveling gown show from Brides Against Breast Cancer and I loved it. The dress was so beautiful, and I got it at an amazing discount because another bride had worn it and donated it to the the program. The money I sp...
ent went to breast cancer research and I am donating my dress back so someone else can love it and support the cause, rather than leaving it in my closet.
This is a wonderful cause and perfect for someone looking for an older gown-I went with high expectations of finding a gown and was not able to. The gown selection was an 'older' style, and I was looking for a more modern gown. Very nice servic...
e and organized well.
The organization is based in Sarasota, Florida, but I attended an event in California. The organization will host a sale in hotels across the country. Brides Against Breast Cancer accept donations of previously worn gowns and samples.
They...
have all shapes, sizes, and shapes. This is the PERFECT way to try on gowns if you're not sure (like me) which style you want or which looks best on you. My friend and I spend about 3 hours at the sale, and I tried on about 20 different dresses. It turned out the one I loved was the first one I tried.
Grand total for the dress & garment bag: $348.

My planner recommended that I check out Brides Against Breast Cancer for my princess gown, as I was having problems finding THE gown after visiting like 8 shops. I wasn't too sure because I didn't exactly want to wear a pre-owned gown, but bec...
ause the organization's mission for breast cancer is an issue close to me, I decided to make the trip out with my girls one weekend to check them out.
SO glad that I did because not even 15 minutes into finding the rack with my sizes did I find THE gown! I actually ended up purchasing 2 gowns, one that was my wedding gown, and one evening gown that I've used for a few formal events. I even purchased my veil and undergarments from them, and my dollars went towards an amazing cause!
I am so happy I happened to sign up and volunteer when BABC came to my town! I found my almost perfect dress. Strapless, plain and new! Tags still on, my total came to $275!! THen I had it altered to fit just right and it looked like I had spen...
t a fortune. I'm so happy I didn't settle on a $2000 dress- and all of these proceeds go to a great charity. Go check it out before you make a pricey decision!
I had such a wonderful experience trying on dresses with Brides against breast cancer. I actually went to the shop in Sarasota, FL. They are by appointment only, and only take one bride at a time, so you've got the whole pace to yourself. Th...
ey had so many like new dresses to try on it was so much fun! I tried on dresses that were out of my comfort zone, but ALL in my price range. There were so many designer dresses, and they all fit great! The fourth dress I tried on turned out to be "the one". It was a Watters Brides Dress and It cost me $99. I left with a veil and a dress bag and only spent $170!!!!!!! I was one happy bride to be. The dress was lovely for my wedding, and I have absolutely no complaints. Everyone thought my dress was beautiful, and you couldn't even tell it was used! LOVE the cause also!
Brides Against Breast Cancer, is like a Filene's Run for a gown thing, on wheels. But much friendlier and a heckuva lot less chaotic. Gowns are donated by all sorts of places. So you have new, almost new, used etc. I got a brand new, tags on g...
own for less than store cost. The money goes towards breast cancer research. Its usually held at a hotel wedding venue. I went to the one in Greenville SC. There were wonderful food samples, wine, cake, planners, and other wedding vendors at tables. In the ballroom were 1000s of dresses, makeshift dressing areas, and lots of wonderful volunteers to help. Frankly it was more fun than some of the big bridal warehouses. They post a lower price, but unless you're tiny and first in, its hard to good ones in the low price range. I was very pleased with the dress and the price.
I heard about brides against breast cancer on my local news. My sister and grandmother are breast cancer surviors. Brides against breast cancer takes dresses donated by people, shops and designers and sells them for cheap and donate the money. ...
I paid less than half of what my dress was worth and the money went to a great cause - couldn't have asked for more
I cannot tell you how many bridal salons I went to and how many dresses I tried on. But each time I would find one I loved I could not "seal the deal". The idea of spending so much money on myself made me feel so guilty. But, I went to a Brides...
Against Breast Cancer show and found a beautiful dress that was perfect for my wedding and made me feel wonderful since all the proceeds went to such a noble cause.
Everyone made sure I found a dress and I did. I was breathless and their dedication to this was so sweet. I feel great to know I got my dress and the money went to such a good cause.
I had no idea what I wanted in a wedding gown, so I thought I'd check out the Brides against breast cancer when it came into town. I wasn't a big fan of much that was there, but it only took finding one. I ended up with a Winnie Couture runwa...
y dress that was never put into production, which I really like because it's pretty much the one and only of that style. I bought my veil there as well. It was a mantilla veil, which just really made my look on my wedding day. My dress and veil were perfect! I am really happy I chose to go to the trunk show.
Why not have your wedding dress money go towards a great cause at the same time? I found a dress beyond my dreams at this shop. I had not been engaged long and we had not even set the date yet. While visiting my parents in South Carolina, we...
went to this outlet mall. My mom noticed the store so we decided to go in just to look around. I had not planned to buy a dress, but I couldn't pass this one up. The staff there is very patient and have a lot of experience helping brides. They took the time to help my mom set up pictures to get the best view of the dress. On top of that, the prices are excellent and there's lot of different styles to choose from.
If are going to spend a lot of money on a dress you are going to wear once then you might as well have the money go to a good cause. We had a huge selection. You should really go to the website and check it out
I attended this event last year and it was magnificent. I really enjoyed myself and recommend any bride use this.
Everyone there is so helpful. There are HUNDREDS of dresses to choose from in all different sizes. I found the dress of my dreams and a veil that went with it perfectly. It's a designer dress that would have easily cost me $1500 retail. I pad $...
700 for dress and cathedral length veil. AWESOME!!!
I loved the tour of dresses. The selection was great and the price was wonderful and best of all the proceeds went to a wonderful cause!
I thought this was an amazing cause and what a fun way to get your wedding dress. I was able to spend the whole day with my mom, aunt and best friend trying on dress after dress. Everyone there was so sweet and so helpful and all were happy a...
bout doing it because it was for such a great cause. Not to mention they beautiful, in style dresses that they did have to choose from. I am so happy that this is where I found my dress :)
I got my casablanca from BABC. It was a beautiful beaded dress and was only 650$!! After alterations it cost much less than if I had bought it at a store, plus it goes to a good cause. BABC come around to cities everyone and they have great ...
dresses, you just have to dig through them all. Great deals!
I got my dress in a rather non-traditional way, the Brides Against Breast Cancer nationwide tour of gowns. It's a wonderful cause where bridal stores donate dresses & then people buy them from the sale. 100% of the proceeds go to grant wish...
es for terminally ill breast cancer patients. There was a large selection of gowns in every price range, from simple, inexpensive dresses to designer couture gowns. The dresses were also nicely organized by sizes, and spread out enough that I didn't feel crowded like I did at some other bridal stores I looked at. The women who helped assist with the dresses were volunteers & were some of the most kind, wonderful women I have ever met! I never felt PRESSURED to buy a gown, but they did make me feel beautiful and important - something some of the big chain bridal salons fail to do. I ended up finding a BEAUTIFUL gown donated by David's Bridal for $450, originally priced well over $1000. I also found a designer veil, originally $450 for $80! I had been struggling with the idea of spending so much money on a dress for one night. However, knowing all of the money went to a great cause made it so much easier! I haven't once had second thoughts even though I bought the dress over a year out from the wedding, because the dress has special meaning for me.
Brides against breast cancer travels around the country with their sales. I visited them when the came to Boston. Everyone there were extremely friendly and enthusiastic. They had many dresses to choose from. They let me try on as many as I lik...
ed. I ended up leaving with two dresses after spending five hours there! I was even able to get accesories. When they came to Rhode Island I went with my best friend and she was able to find a beautiful gown for herself. I highly reccomend attending one of their sales. The profits are used to grant wishes for stage for breast cancer patients.
I went to the event in Orlando and a super sweet volunteer helped me find the perfect dress. I tried on a couple, but this one was literally made for me! I recommend you try attending the event! There's good chances of finding a beautiful dress...
, much better priced, and "The proceeds from these events help bring a moment of joy into world of someone for whom a cure is too late." (www.bridesagainstbreastcancer.org)
I found my perfect dress at the Brides Against Breast Cancer Gown Tour in PA. I love the fact too that the money I paid for my dress goes to a worthy cause.
It was a foundation where all of the money went towards breast cancer. I loved it.
Proceeds benefit breast cancer research.
