Your Day By Nicole

y fiancé his ring there too! Mom got her dress there as well. Absolutely recommend YDBN!

pping my dress to another store for convenience, altering the dress, and getting my dress cleaned/presevered. They were completely transparent and easy to communicate with. Every staff member was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend YDBN to any bride!

choice as nothing else even came close to my dress from YDBN. I also bought my veil from them after looking at it online, and they honored the price listed on the screenshot I had taken of the veil, even though it was priced higher in store. They were very helpful throughout the alterations process as well, and were able to be flexible and accommodating for my schedule as an out-of-town bride.

ement because it was a pretty unique dress that hadn’t had much interest and I could get it at a discount. It was a size 12 and I was an 8 at the time. They assured me that their seamstresses could take it in no problem and that we should wait until a couple months out from wedding to start alterations. Outside of the girls convincing me to purchase a dress off the rack that was wayyyy to big and not a style that could be altered that drastically essentially to clear out a dress that wasn’t making them money and to get a quick commission off me, they neglected to tell us that they don’t have in house seamstresses until my 2nd appt. The girls pinning your dress ARE NOT TRAINED SEAMSTRESSES!!! They pin then they send the dress to an independent contractor seamstress who then has to try to figure out what the consultant had in mind and without ever seeing the bride in the dress or on a body at all. My 1st alterations appointment, the consultant had said that because of the excess material she thought we should put in a seam down the center of the slip style dress instead of taking it in on the side seams…. and this point I thought she was an experienced seamstress who knew what she was doing so we approved it. She should have told us that it was not going to work out and that we should order a new slip in my size. When I came to my 2nd appt (5 weeks to wedding) the dress looked like they hadn’t done hardly any of what we had pinned and discussed except for the center seam and the neckline of the slip. The outer overlay was relatively fine. But the slip was still MASSIVE and what they did do, genuinely looked like I could have sewn it better with my eyes closed. They left so much extra fabric in the center seam and the two layers of fabric did not lines up. The neckline was sewn bunched up and was crooked and wavy. One strap was longer than the other. I’m not a crier… well I cried that day. They did offer to refund the alterations ($280ish) and said I could try to take it elsewhere. If I could go back in time I would have done that. But with short notice I didn’t think it’d be possible. So we asked if they had a different seamstress who could fix what was done and make it actually fit. They said yes. 3rd appt (3 weeks til wedding) the fit was better but the center seam and the execution of everything was just so bad still. They also had done a bustle on both pieces and the outer piece is all sorts of messed up and now the train does not lay flat like it’s supposed to because they put threads in several places but the two layers of mesh were not lined up correctly so it pulls in different directions and looks terrible. I was able to find a REAL seamstress who was willing to help and she was astonished. I hadn’t noticed it before I got there but there is blue marker ALL OVER the dress along the seams where they had taken it in. She told me the slip dress was a lost cause and I she wouldn’t be able to undo what they did completely and it would be expensive. So I’m wearing a $30 slip dress from Amazon under the mesh overlay. Because of YDBN, I have a $1600 dress that I can’t even wear half of because I spent $300 on alterations with them to only RUIN it and make it unwearable. PLUS more $$ on alterations with the new person to rush fix the outer part.
