Edith's Bridal and Tuxedos

s on I just knew it was the one. We brought in a seamstress, Carol Ann, and I explained my ideas to her and she showed me them spot on! I am so happy with my experience at Edith's and I plan on coming back for all of my wedding needs!

ere looking for!

it was 4 days before my wedding)for which they did not charge me. What I did notice is that measurements were NEVER taken. PINS were always used (thanks for the extra holes in my satin dress)and three different people had there hands on my dress for alterations which is probably why the notes on what needed to be done were not carried out correctly.

e, was great and very, very detailed. They were fun to work with and answered all my questions politely! They made me feel beautiful in my dress! Would definitely recommend!

I liked or that the selection for me would be limited. To my surprise, the entire experience at Edith's was a dream! Beginning with the friendly staff (and owner) to the section and the experience. It all surpassed my expectations! I worked with Sharon and she was FANTASTIC and so was the owner who also assisted me and even found a dress that was of interest to me. Sharon was encouraging, helpful, and seemingly just as excited to help me as my family was. I found 6 gorgeous gowns, but only made it to the third before being brought to tears! The first I tried on was stunning, as was the second (it just kept getting better) and by the third, I was done! I needed no more, I had found "THE ONE!" After giving us a moment to soak it all in and to cry together lol Sharon came back to help make the dress that much better. She listened to my vision, brought veils, head pieces, sashes and jewelery to help complete the look, which only made me cry more. She even took the time to bring up different samples of bridesmaid dresses in the color i'm going with, so i can see how it would look with my dress. Sharon was nothing short of amazing, as was the rest of the staff that worked with us. It was a beautifully, intimate experience. I didn't feel rushed or crowded, I didn't feel like I was taking up to much time and most importantly, I didn't feel pushed. We were allowed to make the decisions on our own, with helpful guidance. We were able to sit back and let it all sink in, before making the final and appropriate decisions. Deciding to check out Edith's was the best decision we could have made and the drive was well worth it. The dress, perfect! The staff, excellent! The experience, memorable! Thanks to all at Edith's.

us job!

. I am beyond satisfied with my experience at Edith's. It is a great place to shop if you are located in the Fox Valley!!

too well, except for the 3rd time I went in. They also screwed up the bustle the 2nd time I went in to check it out, and said it would be fixed the 3rd time, which it wasn't, but the last time, I was assured it was right, and it was.

ize and charged way extra for larger bridesmaids. They were rude and not helpful at all in finding the best dress/best price. She stood there and simply pointed out what colors each came in. I dressed my girls and helped them, isn't that the job of the sales associate?! My husband was there and got very upset as well. So in all...if your the bride you will get service. Bridesmaids? feel prepared to do it yourself. We ended up finding 2/4 dresses at Ediths and the other 2 at Davids Bridal.

ssure, any of the 3 times I went there before purchasing..I didn't purchase the dress the first day I tried it on, but went back later after I found it more expensive at another bridal shop. They don't allow pictures until you put money down, which sucks...but I guess they expect you'll try to find it cheaper elsewhere if you know exactly what it looks like and who the designer is...They did tell me to order up several sizes from the sample, which I was shocked by..I chose to order a 10, instead of the 12 they recommended and everything worked out just fine even without me working out, so go with your gut on what size to order! I did opt to take the dress out for alterations and was happy I did that. I met with my alterations lady at least 3-4 times in the city I live in, had it shortened, cups put in, steamed 3 times, and busseled for $100- the lady was amazing! I would have paid at least double that in the store. We also got our suits from Edith's and were very happy with that service as well! The girl in that department was friendly, and knew exactly the look we were going for. The guys looked great and had no real problems and I got many compliments on my dress. My groom loved it too!

uper low & my taste wasn't unique, so I expected a larger selection. They also couldn't guarantee that my dress would come in on time. My engagement was a little over 6 months & I went dress shopping almost immediately. They said they would ask the manufacturer to rush the shipment but didn't seem so concerned whether it actually came in or not. When I would call to check (only twice) they seemed annoyed that I asked about it. While I loved my dress, I wasn't thrilled with the service Edith's provided.

a lot of size selection. A few dresses I liked were too off in size that I couldn't get a good idea of what it would fit like.

ss remained, the least flattering were altered, and the style best represented what we wanted. The best part is that CarolAnn had fun with the process and was able to design the PERFECT dress! This made the process very enjoyable for me as well.

squeeze me in!

y listened to everything I had to say and had great opinions and feedback on what to do and not to do with the dress.

e were not very nice. Would never spend another dime there.

eam dress for the price I wanted to spend! The only thing that I didnt like was when I went back there to get it, the lady that helped me didnt remember me. At David's Bridal, I could go in there and they would all know my name.

ions and they did a fantastic job on the alterations and had it completed in a timely fashion, so my mother could bring it to me in Tennessee for my wedding.

re dress selection than any place I had gone to (biggest in WI) and everyone there was awesome. My alterations were cheaper than I expected (only 100 to shorten a bubble hem--not an easy feat). Any other place it was about 300 minimum to alter the length! I was even more surprised how cheap their jewelry was. I ended up getting my chandelier earrings there for less than $30 after scouring every department store etc. with no luck! (some of their accessories are overpriced as most bridal stores are...) Also, many employees have been working there a long time and know what they are doing (especially the seamstresses which is very reassuring). I couldn't have been happier with this place even after driving 1.5 hours each way for every visit.

beautiful dress. Thank you Ediths!

n altered. They said this is normal so I did not worry. When I picked my dress up on the Thursday of my wedding week my dress was still to big. 3 weeks prior they were suppose to take in 2 more inches on the side. I know I did not lose 2 inches in that time span. Also the stays in the bust had not been removed and were sticking straight out. It looked awful. The seamstress working on my dress was not there so another lady had to help. She was able to cut the stays out but the pleating was still not right. I loved my dress but in a lot of pictures the bust looks awful. My dress was Maggie Sotero Jenna which has a lost of pleating, but I thought the professionals there could handle it. The length was perfect, the bustle lasted about 1 hour of dancing. The other girls working the showroom are fantastic and very friendly and helpful!

(i.e. when I came in at the appt. time--they would still be working on my dress and ask me to come back in a few hours) or confused all together (my "final" fitting turned into my second to last fitting after they had not touched my dress since the previous fitting!!)

$1,000 budget and it truly looks like I spent $3,000.

n any you think you may like! Some of the staff aren't the friendliest, but the one's who matter are and they do a fabulous job. I would definitely recommend Ediths.

the consultants. Overall, my dress turned out beautifully, but the service could use some work. Also, the changing rooms could use a good cleaning!!

alesperson didn't even bat an eye. She just smiled and started asking me questions about what I wanted to see myself in. And when I say I had no idea, I really had none whatsoever... I'd been engaged for a week and hadn't even gotten my first bridal magazine! So for her to narrow down something that I fell head over heals in love with is pretty good for the first go around! And the service didn't stop after my first visit. Every time I went in, the salespeople took care of me and I ended up getting my veil and headpiece from there as well. There was only once that there was a mix up with my appointment but they immediately made sure that I was able to have my fitting that day. They also made billing very easy. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend it over any of the big name bridal stores in this area!!

n hers. They provided much insight that helped in the decision making process

y for me to make fitting appointments since I'm from out of town. They also offer discounts on bridesmaid dresses and tux rentals if you purchase your wedding dress from them.

e tux rentals were easy, and the bridesmaid dress choices were limitless.

wedding day, my dress fit absolutely perfect and I LOVED my unique bustle, I have never seen anything like it.
