This is where my friend selected to order our dresses for her wedding. Myself and all the bridesmaid set up apts to go and pick out our style dress. The 1st issue we ran into here was dress sizes to try on. We all ranged in sizes but if your over a size 6 the likelyhood of finding your size, slim! if your over a size 14 forget it! So alot of the bridesmaids had no idea what would fit them correctly and had to guess at what size they should get. The 2nd issue we ran into was how long it took for the dresses to arrive so that we could have our fittings, over 4 mths (leaving 3 weeks until the wedding). The 3rd issue came when we actually got to do our fittings. Due to the fact alot of the bridesmaids had NO DRESS to try on at the initial apt, the sizes were way off. This caused Alterations to be needed, which seemed like a good way for this shop to keep their seamstresses busy! The Alterations for some cost an addition hundred dollars on top of what the dress cost. The staff was confused about everything and seemed like they could care less in trying to help. They were rude and unorganized as well. This is one of two weddings that I am currently in and at Davids Bridal we were treated with respect, we ALL had dresses we could try on and alterations weren't so Overpriced! In no way am I slamming the small business or boutique, just this one! This shop is NOT someplace I would ever reccommend!
