I had time after my appointment at brilliant bridal so I went to David's bridal to look at more wedding dresses.
The girl at David's was awful. First she took my measurements and then said I need a size 26. When I said that's not right she said, "well it's your waist."
Now, I know you go up a size, maybe two but not that much. I normally wear a size 16/18.
So she gets a 26, which of course, was swimming on me to the point of falling off.
I ended up fitting in a size 20/22 depending on the dress, and the 22s were only because of my bust. The stomach area fit fine, mostly loose a little on all of the dresses.
It took an hour before she had my sizing because of all of that.
So then I have on a dress that I thought looked good, and even though I hadn't said anything, she said "and you could always wear spanx to hide that area" and points to my stomach and then adds "and to smooth it out."
Then I had another dress on and she said "oh and this one is great because the ruffles here," and gestures towards my stomach again, "it hides everything."
She made me feel like a cow the way she was acting.
Plus, she couldn't find any of the dresses I wanted to see, she had to get someone else to find stuff. She also didn't bother getting a petticoat or anything like that so finish the dresses off.
Then I asked about if there was anything available to replicate straps for the sleeveless dresses and she couldn't find it so she said I would have to "just imagine" until I made a point of asking again when another sales person was nearby who went to get them.
When I tried on a corset dress she didn't bother to lace it up until another sales person said "Our bride's are spending a lot of money to look perfect on their big day. They want to see exactly what the dress will look like, not sort of what it will look like." At which point she begrudgingly laced it up.
I thought perhaps she was new so I asked how long she'd been there and she said two years.
I went home and while trying to explain everything to my fiance I started bawling. I'm normally confident in how I look but she made me feel horrible, as though nothing could possible make me look beautiful.
I highly recommend, if you are plus size at all, don't go to this location.
