My wedding budget was tight, and renting a dress was probably the smartest decision I ever made. I chose Gowns by Pamela (the Salt Lake location) because it was the only rental place in Utah I could find. They did a tremendous job. I got an app...ointment quickly, and the girl who helped me (Kat, I believe) was friendly, and put me at ease. She showed me several dresses- and it only took 4 before I found the perfect one! She did a great job of showing me stuff that was flattering. I should mention that I am plus size, and was looking for a strapless, and they had plenty of selection for me- I was very pleasantly surprised. A few days before my wedding I went in for my final fitting, and this time it was with the owner, Lisa. She was so sweet, and did lots of last minute alterations to make my dress look fabulous! I was so pleased with how I looked. The value is incredible. For the price of a cheap David's Bridal gown, I got the initial fitting, final fitting with alterations, the petticoat, dress, veil, and tiara. They let you keep the dress for 5 days, so I had plenty of time to return it. I can't recommend Gowns by Pamela enough!
