Carmen's Bridal Grown Rental & Tailoring

aying “ Your MOH signed that she was okay with picking it up.” Which I did and she as the professional should made sure the dress fit me perfectly before letting me go. When I when to pick it up her mom just brought it out of her door and did not even asked me if I wanted to trying on.

will claim that she is ordering you a NEW dress to rent and it will be measure to fit you but the reality is that she is giving you the same dirty dress in her house/shop that twenty other brides have worn. She will refuse to let you try on other samples that aren't close to your size BECAUSE she's not actually ordering any new dress for you, she's going to give you the dress that you try on. It will be dirty and not fit you if you even get it at all! I have filed complaints with BBB and Consumer reporting. I am going to post all the texts between her and I, the fake contract AND the email from the eve of milady designer that told me she is fraudulent and to not do business with her because she does not have any association with the actual dress designers, She just rotates the 20 dresses in her store. ALSO the price she charges is way higher than an actual used dress would cost same style and condition (still white). My email is shaudrey2@gmail.com if anyone needs more details before doing business with her.

t-grandmother's dress from 1931 so I could wear it for my elopement. They then altered and made my dream Oleg Cassini gown fit like I dream- I got so many compliments that the dress was one of the most beautiful people had ever seen! The most special part was the blue pocket of my grandfather's that was stitched into the lining of my gown so I could dance with him on my wedding day! The pair is professional, flexible, and amazing at what they do. I had many appointments over the course of almost 2 years, and they were amazing at every single one! I would highly recommend their alteration services to anyone!

rmen imposed on my daughter and my family. I mean every word in what you are about to read. You will come to Carmen, hoping that her lack of education and manners might not be the most important on your quest to find a good wedding dress. You would hope for understanding of your needs and delivering upon Carmen' promises. You will hold your end of the deal, you will even pay the unreasonably inflated amounts for the dress you will never get. But here is a catch... In turn, Carmen (the rude, manipulative, and ruthless owner of this shady place) will ruin your hopes, destroy your dreams, steal your money, betray your trust, humiliate you and offend your religious beliefs, breach your contract, make every attempt to convert your wedding day (a.k.a., the birthday of your new family) to a horror for the Bride and those who are next to her. Carmen must be reported to the Small Business Administration and IRS (it is coming!) for her shady business that is based on ignorance, lack of basic skills, lies, greed, cheating, and complete disrespect to her customers. Karma will come for Carmen! Avoid Carmen Bridal Rental place filled with filthy dresses and damaged tasteless accessories Carmen probably gets from Salvation Army. Carmen is a wedding Grinch, but she could not steal the best day from my daughter. We ended up buying a dress from David's Bridal a few days before the wedding. Carmen could not hold us hostage, and please do not allow her to affect you in any way. Good luck with your search for the wedding dress of your dream!

e or consent due to an “expired contract”. However, no where on the contract does it list an expiration date, just a pick up date. When I filled out the contract I was told to list the pick up date as three months from drop off, but was told verbally that it could take longer than that and that they would be in touch. I contacted the shop five months after drop off wondering what the status was and was told there had been a few brides interested, but I should probably drop the price. I agreed to drop and asked what it was listed for at the time so I could decide on a lower price, but never received a reply. I contacted the shop six months later wondering what was going on because I really wanted to get the dress sold. I was then notified that the dress was donated due to an “expired contract”. The contract I signed when I dropped off my dress stated that I would be notified by the bridal shop after 90 days if the price on the dress was dropped three times and did not sell. I would then have seven days to pick up the dress or had the option to donate. No where on the contract does it state the pick up date is the expiration date or that the contract expires at all. I realize the dress was left for a long period of time, but I was under the impression that it was working on being sold and that I would be contacted if they didn’t feel it could be. I trusted the shop with my dress and I am saddened that they broke that trust. I’m also extremely disappointed in the lack of resolution from Carmen’s bridal shop. All I have received from them is that my dress was donated to a good cause and that my contract expired. I’m happy that they donate to a worthy cause, but that does not negate the fact that I can no longer try to recover the money lost on a dress that was never worn or that our contract stated I would be contacted before anything was done with it. I never even received an apology for the misunderstanding. I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience so others don’t make the same mistake. Also, after checking other sites, it appears I’m not the only one who has experienced this with this shop.

t the last minute she had to wear a bolero-type jacket. I understand that rental gowns are not “permanently” altered so they can accommodate future bridesmaids but the alterations were such temporary fixes that the gown did not hang as intended and the temporary stitches pulled out before she even left the dressing room! In addition, for $165 my niece commissioned them to hem a reception gown purchased elsewhere. The hemming price was high because the bottom was scalloped so it had to be shortened by taking it up at the waistband. The end result was a gown that hung so unevenly she was unable to wear it. My advice to brides on a budget is to shop at David’s bridal and pay a seasoned seamstress who will properly fit the gown. Don’t ruin the biggest day of your life by dealing with the Carmen’s! Read the reviews on Carmen’s website and her defensive rebuttals before becoming a victim of her sham.

ially my parents. Any reasonable person would be ok to provide me with the service that I paid for. Carmen decided to charge me an additional $500 in order to give me the gown that I paid for. I decided to let her and her mother keep the $1,080. She demanded the additional $500 immediately, although I wouldn't start my fitting until June 2019. On her contract, once you pay her everything is nonrefundable. She was so inconsiderate to the fact that I've already paid her over a thousand. All her rental gowns are over priced. I did some research and the exact gown is renting for $600. Planning a wedding is very stressful and she made my dress shopping experience a total disaster. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. She runs her shop from her basement, just go to a normal bridal store where you will get better service. You might be able to find the same gown or better on www.preownedweddingdresses.com.

nd that they knew how to put everything together. She was and is such a blessing. I highly highly recommend her

who took us immediately. She was warm and kind. She made us feel confident that she would take care of everything in time for our flight and she delivered. Her alterations were perfect, she even corrected some of the sloppy work of the previous seamstress. I wholeheartedly recommend her - she really offers excellent service.

ted. By the time I reached out to get my dresses back several months later, my dresses were "donated to Special Olympics". Carmen claimed 3 calls were made, and gave me 3 made up dates and times. Luckily, my cell provider logs all the incoming calls. After showing her my call log where no such calls were ever made, no such voicemails were ever left about my dresses are being "donated" Carmen got hostile and flipped her story and started to ignore my texts/calls. She informed me the dresses have been donated and she has no idea where they are and that she is not in any way responsible for it nor owed me any money for the dresses. Lying sack of shit! I sent all documents supporting my case to my lawyer, and the law firm sent her an intent to sue, and what do you know, miraculously, my dresses are found and I can get them back any time. I did get my dresses back at the end, and I believe 1 of the dress was rented out while in Carmen's possession. I wasted so much of my time dealing with this shitty shady person. Be warned people... stay far far away.

rson then i will feel better because now i feel like crap. I went to Carmen to get my dress altered about 6 weeks before my wedding day, I had gotten several other quotes. She asked me what my best quote was and she beat it by $25. This made me happy. She also told me that she loved my dress and would be interested in buying it after. This made me even more happy. Finally she said she would give me about 1 month to lose some weight and then the dress would fit better and she would make alterations. I was thrilled and determined to lose the weight. I should have remembered my mom telling me to always remember that if a deal was too good to be true, it was. Anyway, i came back to see Carmen after 1 month and then she upped the price by more than 100$. This shocked me but at this point, there was no one else who would alter my dress 10 days before my wedding so i was in a bind and had no choice. After making the payment, when i came to the shop for a fitting, Carmen was no longer to be seen, only her mother would be there. When i came to the shop there was stuff all over the floor, I could not even step out of the fitting stall. They did a terrible job with the bustle, it was bunching up on my butt. Moreover at the wedding, all three bustles came lose and I was tripping all over my dress. It was a disaster. Too top it all off, when i contacted her after the wedding to at least see if i could sell my dress, of course she did not even respond to me. I feel very foolish falling for her scam. I feel if you are good at your trade, you shouldn't have to resort to such crooked bushiness practices to make an extra buck. Please be vary of these business practices, I wouldn't want anyone to have to experience what i had to experience and put a cloud over what should be one of the happiest days of your life. Thank you for listening. Good luck to you.

esmaids needed last minute alterations and she was extremely fair in her pricing. I would definetely recommend Carmen & her daughter!! https://www.facebook.com/MonroeBridalServices

out what was so expensive but never heard anything back. Carmen was extremely nice and helpful, but I would never go back for more alterations due to the outrageous pricing.
