I had to buy a brides maid dress from this location and the experience has been horrible to say the least. When actually buying the dress, I could tell the lady was splitting her time between us and other people, and she obviously was just trying to get us off her plate. I get it if you're short staffed and that's not the workers fault, but we made an appointment months ago, why are you double booking people? Also, why are there no mirrors in the dressing room? You have to leave the room to see yourself at all, and anyone shopping can see you. That's super awkward to me!
I had to get alterations and asked how much they would be and I was told "oh, probably around $70 for what you need". I was thinking that's fair. I make an appointment for alterations, of course when I get there, I'm double booked, AGAIN! So I had to change in the rooms in the back that just have a curtain and no doors. Let me just say, I hate curtain dressing rooms, but these are the worst I've ever encountered! They DO NOT close all the way. I was praying the people standing uncomfortably close to the opening were looking away! Then when I was getting all of the pins put in, with all of the other women getting altered next to me, the seamstress opened the slit in the skirt, to make sure the front was flat, opened it all the way and exposed my underwear in front of everyone! I know it was a mistake but like!! Then the price was as much as the dress! I was told $70 not $190! I was getting the distinct impression that they were trying to upsell me too. I said no to several suggestions they were making. I made my pickup appointment for the same time (7pm) in two weeks.
I was going to dismiss it all, but I called today to make sure my dress is ready to pickup for my appointment, since I never got an email or anything saying it was ready. I was then asked if I could come in earlier, like two hours earlier because, "7 is late for the seamstress". First of all, why are you letting people book appointments for that time if it's "so late". Second of all, multiple other people were there after me during my initial alterations, so I'm not buying this excuse in the least. Third of all, I work till 5 and the place is over 20 minutes away! I'm not waiting to eat dinner at 9 tonight, ok. I said I'll be there at 6, which is still pushing it for me, and if they give me the run around and say my appointment was at 7 and there's a bunch of other people getting alterations too, I'll have a really hard time trying to still be polite.
Never come here! I've heard even worse stories and reviews about this place too! I'm getting married in June, and you can bet I'm not getting my wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses, or alterations done there, and I'm telling everyone I know who's also getting married, to never go to David's bridal! Way better options out there that will actually make you feel special, especially for one of the most important days of your life! Go to Brilliant Bridal for your wedding dress, trust me!
