David's Bridal

ons manager said was possible. Went back two months later for alterations and suddenly it couldn't be done. They ended up having to put a corset in (which was fine, minus the price tag).

itch and it was good. My dress was on clearance and so a price I was happy to pay. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

y helpful in having coordinating accessories. However, they were not pushy in trying to get us to purchase accessories. My dress came in within 3 weeks of purchase.

e apart again!! Thankfully my mom had an emergency sewing kit an sewed me in my dress. My mom called that following Monday and found out they never put a new zipper on, only put it back together....we see how well that worked. The manager was nice to deal with though an gave us a refund on my dress. (Not a full, but a nice chunk)

tty pushy. Overall, they have a great selection so it is worth the trip.

staff not being completely truthful with the prices and had a few confrontations regarding that matter, and the bridesmaids dresses were a little more expensive than I had hoped.

tions. I had a great experience when I was shopping for my dress and when I selected my dress. My consultant was great, friendly, excited and made it seem like she really cared about finding the dress for me. However, after purchasing the dress, there were quite a few things that were frustrating. The store misplaced my veil and insisted that we had picked it up already when we hadn't. It literally took a month of me calling and explaining the situation before someone actually looked through their store and came upon my veil. When I told the woman she was the first person in a month to tell me something other than, "I'll call you back" (and they never do)she told me she didn't say that today because they were really slow in the store, otherwise she would have. I also had an alterations appointment that they had to cancel and we did not connect on the phone so I showed up for an appointment that was canceled. After my first alterations appointment, the corset on my dress was crooked and only one woman working in alterations was willing to get me in and out of the dress until it was fixed. Everyone else wanted to wait to see if it was magically fixed after doing the hem at my next appointment two weeks before the wedding. If you find your dress at David's, I would recommend going with it, because I just loved my dress so much and it was definitely "the dress" for our wedding, but give yourself plenty of time for alterations and be persistent if needed.

heir dresses, all separate times, no one helped us. When I went to get alterations(bustle only, month before wedding) I waited in my dress for almost two hours in front of a mirror, no one offered me a chair. When I finally got pinned up, I was told I couldn't get my dress until the day before my wedding. I ended up going with Bridals by Joycee for my alterations. I would not recommend this place at all.

g I was unhappy with was the alterations on my bustle. It was a minor thing though! I LOVED my dress!

travel. The morning of my wedding I opened the garment bag to find that my cathedral length veil, the most expensive part of my dress, was missing. This was a culturally important part of the dress for my husband's family and we had two girls assigned to carry the veil. This led to a crazy morning for all of us scrambling to find a substitute. David's Bridal had no apologies and acted like they did us a favor refunding the money for the veil. I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

h for a good price. However, the alterations manager was very snotty to me so I got my alterations done elsewhere for heaps cheaper.

n we got there we we waited over 10 minutes for a consultant to even greet us. When I was taken to a dressing room the lady put me in the under garments and said she would be right back, 20 minutes later she has still not returned and my family had to pull dresses for me...my consultant had 3 other brides that night, my family and friends were getting me in and out of dresses as well as picking them, very poor service! When I had finally picked my dress David's also did my bustle...It had to be redone 4 TIMES! Every time it was too long! No one ever measured me just gathered the train and pinned. Finally when I demanded that they get it right this time or I wanted my money back a actual tailor measured and pinned my dress...2 weeks before my wedding and my dress still was not right. Had it not been for this lady I would have lost it. She sewed my bustle, pressed, and steamed my dress for me in two days.

in. The night before I had gone in to check out the dresses. I found 4 that I liked. When I arrived for my appointment, I found that the consultant was going to be helping both myself and another lady find dresses that day. When I book an appointment I expect to be recognized. The other person was there for 2 hours before I got there and the consultant was just ignoring me. I told her there were only 4 that I wanted to try on, yet she kept bringing me dresses she wanted me to try on and not the ones I had picked out. I was still there after the store closed and I had to get to sleep since I had to be at the hospital at 4am. My father finally put his foot down and told the idiotic consultant to let me try on the dresses I picked out. She finally did and dress #2 was the winner. It would have been much easier if she just let me try on what I asked and I didn't stand around 80% of the time waiting for the consultant who I was invisible to.

imately two-three inches added to the seams. I couldn't understand a word the seamstress said except for that there was "no more much fabric" for the dress - it left me feeling awful and that ruined the good experience I had with David's otherwise

ng on 5 dresses, I found "the one." My dress was everything I wanted and more. The alterations department was amazing!! Everyone told my how amazing and well fitted my dress was. We also bought my mom's dress and all the bridesmaids dresses at the Brookfield location. The girls at the store are incredibly helpful and not at all pushy. They know what styles work on what body types and make you feel so comfortable during the dress trial process.

I certainly was not made to feel that way. I came into the store multiple times after that and no one seemed to remember me or why I would be there. When I called to make an appointment for alterations I was told "Please make sure you write the date and time down because we are really busy and can't afford for you to forget your appointment." Needless to say I went elsewhere for alterations.

ridal is that the girls helping you are not only helping you, they may be helping two other girls at the same time. It took much more time to try on dresses, because we had to wait for the sales girl to help you put on and take off dresses. They also only brought out a few at a time and it would take a LONG time for them to return with the new dresses. There was also a lot of turnover in the store. The girl that did my alterations was going to bustle my dress in a really unflattering way, so I had to show her the appropriate way to bustle the type of dress I had. In the end, everything went well and looked beautiful. I also ordered the bridesmaids dresses and the mother of the bride dress from David's Bridal. My mom's alterations were messed up, as well. My bridesmaids live all over the country, but all of them were pretty close to one of the stores. They all received a discount on their dresses because I had ordered mine there, too. Very nice!

as even on sale. I got a great deal on my bridal gown. I didn't really like any of the bridesmaids dresses, however. I was a bit disappointed that I had made an appointment and then ended up sharing my consultant with another bride. It was kind of awkward watching another bride try on dresses next to me while I waited for the woman to come back with dresses for both of us. I would have understood more if I had not made an appointment, but I had made one weeks before. I was really happy with my gown, but not really with the shop itself.

back multiple times because they messed up the dress on the first alteration. The steamstress pulled a string which unraveled the side, they were all so busy I did not feel they had there focus on my dress. They did fix it free of charge. I would take my dress somewhere else next time...

us. Skip to 2/3 weeks before the wedding. The same girls brought their dresses in to get steamed, were met with a LOT of attitude at the front desk, and before walking out I heard the woman say "oh great more dresses to steam" THIS IS YOUR JOB! picked the dresses up a week later, and they WERE NOT STEAMED. Skip to the Thursday before the wedding, I went in there to complain, the woman said that they were steamed but she would do it again if we insisted... with all the attitude... WORST EXPERIENCE EVER, I have told everyone to NOT go here

. Our experience when picking out my Matron of Honors dress was not the same as picking out my wedding gown. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon and, even though the same woman who helped me pick out my gown was the person helping us this day too, the experience was night and day. She was not as attentive and never picked a dress my matron of honor wanted. Although we did pick a dress that day, when my matron of honor came in for alterations the woman doing the alterations said this is not he dress for you. She got someone from the sales staff, told her what the matron of honor wanted, and, believe it or not, brought the exact dress she had been looking for all along! Even though originally she was told there was no dress like this, the alterations person said she would have never been shown this dress as it was on the clearance rack. Because my Matron of Honor and I are over 45, I don't think David's Bridal caters to bride's, bride's maid or even older Mother's of the bride (my Mother is 88 years young and she was unable to find anything!) above 35 or to bride's who are getting married for the second or third time who, more than likely, may be older.

was worried I wouldn't find a dress, but my mom saw the gown I eventually purchased for my wedding dress. It was gorgeous! My mom cried (that's how I knew it was right) An ivory satin under an off-white lace with small crystals dotting it. I received more compliments on that dress than on anything else in the wedding. The ladies that tailored it had to hand stich the bottom because of the soft lace. They put a double bustle on it that really exemplified how gorgeous the dress really is and added numbered straps to make the bustling job easier on my brides maids. We also tried on a number of different bridesmaids dresses and finally settled on a short, single shoulder dress that looked good on our variety of body types. We were slightly limited in styles because the color was brand new and only offered in the limited styles, but it was much easier to find a dress for them there than any of the other places I had visited. The staff was friendly, but I made the mistake of coming in on a Saturday which I the busiest day of the week there. People were walking through our conversations, it was a regimented time frame, and when I did find my dress and 'made my wish' on the bell, it felt so underwhelming. If I were to do it again, I'd set the appointment up for a Wednesday at 7pm. That was my time for my dress fitting and I had the whole place to myself practically. The prices on veils were a little rough too; if you can find a deal at one of the smaller places or at a Vera's warehouse, etc - I recommend you take advantage of it.

ing room, but I ended up finding the perfect dress and it was a great price. After I purchased my dress, I got an influx of calls saying I had won prize packages, make-overs or special offers. Each person said they had gotten my information from David's Bridal. I was not happy that they sold my information without my consent, but there wasn't a lot I could do about it. I also had my alterations done through David's Bridal and was very pleased with the outcome. The seamstress listened to what I wanted and had some great ideas. It was helpful when it came to shopping for bridesmaid dresses that I had gotten my dress at David's Bridal. My bridesmaids each got a discout on their dresses which helped keep the cost down and they had a great selection in our wedding color.

y side but all in all it was a great place!

found the dress there and nothing compared so I had to go with it. The service was fine they were very nice and not pushy to me. But every time I went in they never knew who I was. Which was something I looked forward to like we did at the bridal store I worked at. I think they should take the time to know there customers, they are spending lots of money there and would like to feel special getting ready for their big day. Also 3 weeks to my wedding they called to see if I needed anything else and wanted to look at wedding dresses...I ordered and took my dress over 6 months ago...big turn off for me! That is just bad business!!!! But my dress looked gorgeous on me and I guess that is what matters, right??

erations. The staff here was very helpful. I already knew the dress I wanted when I arrived, and was able to try it on and buy it. The first dress I bought over a year before the wedding, in a size smaller than I could fit, and after inquiring about alterations I figured I could go somewhere else for cheaper. Then it came to 4 months before the wedding and I went to a local alterations store. While the alterations were being done I ended up losing weight to the point that I couldnt lose any more if I was going to fit in the dress. I thought on this and decided that I was happy with my new, healthier lifestyle, and that I didnt want to halt progress. I was unhappy with the work done at the local alterations store, and so my very understanding, now husband, told me that if I was unhappy I should go back to David’s and see what I could do to get the dress taken in so I could lose more weight, and as a last case scenario, buy a new, smaller dress. It turns out, David’s WILL NOT do alterations on a dress that has been altered elsewhere. No matter if it is a different part of the dress, due to the possibility that the integrity of the dress may have been compromised and they don't want to be blamed for stuff other stores have caused. So the end result was to buy a second dress. I luckily fit perfectly into one of their sizes, and my original dress style was now on discount, off the rack, and they had the exact size I needed. I only needed to get the dress bustled, which I did at David’s this time. My bustle was done by Milla, who was excellent. She was very easy to work with and in the end I had 15 different pull ups for the bustle and it looked exactly how I wanted. I am so happy with my decision on the new dress, and I really highly recommend Milla. I had so much fun at my wedding in the dress that I fell in love with and with a bustle that worked perfectly with me. We did have a problem right when I was putting the dress on- some of the stitching to keep the zipper in broke, and my mom had to do emergency dress surgery so that I didnt have a hole in the back of my dress, which is why I gave the 4 star rating. I also had my wedding shoes dyed to match my bridesmaids dresses. An extra $5 to dye, and they do not spray after dying with a water resistant coating. They did not warn me, but luckily I asked. Their response was- they should be fine in rain, just don’t step in puddles. The shoes were not the most comfortable, but I really wanted the color to match so I sucked it up for the night.

rts of coupons for us for other vendors. Everything was inexpensive. My only peeve was the sales people didn't communicate well. I told one y budget and then she apparently didn't tell the other, because she didn't know until halfway though. Apparently I had been trying on dresses twice my Budget!

t so nice.

shipped there because Icould not leave without that dress especially at that price. My bridesmaids loved the Vera Wang dress I chose. It had straps with a cowl back and tie. A simple dress that was classy and elegant, and since most of my bridesmaids had a bigger bust, they loved the straps. Also, David's is great about doing size exchanges if you need. Which is very convenient since a lot of bridal stores won't do that.

s less helpful and more pushy to get the money and the dress sold. I found a beautiful dress but was not impressed with the wishy washy customer service.

de of my realms that we had discussed. After hording my matron of honor and I to the dressing rooms, we weren't even free to check out other dresses, whereas she would only get the dresses for us. After finding a dress, it was beyond what my budget was for- and Jennifer only wanted to know if I wanted to open a line of credit to purchase the dress. It was awful. I dreaded getting a dress until I was greatly served by Elaines boutique!!! Even when coming back to David's bridal for possible shoe ware- I had to ask the front desk if someone could help me, and even then, no one came to assist me with my needs. Very rude service.

ful it photographed! Overall, the staff was very pleasant to work with especially the tailor. Do get yourself to David's bridal for your special day! Great job!

the fact I took my fiance with me. Other places looked like they wanted to throw him out, but David's made us both feel welcome.

e, which allowed my in-store consultant to find dresses in my style. I grabbed the second dress I tried on. The consultant we worked with was so friendly and made the whole process so comfortable, even recommending undergarments that would go well with my dress. Everyone there made me feel truly special as a bride. As the big day approached, they checked in with me to see if there were any last-minute items I needed. I had a wonderful experience with them and would recommend them to anyone.

ucks. For this reason, I only bought my dress at David's and all accessories and shoes and alterations elsewhere.

od at my 2 final fitting appointments. I would have liked to work with the same seamstress the whole time instead of having a different person every time since I believe my dress wouldn't have needed to be altered more than one time.
