Bay Area Bridal..DO NOT GO THERE!!

I recently went to Bay Area Bridal this past weekend to buy my dress for my upcoming wedding on February 4th. I`ve had my dress picked out (Maggie Sottero "Connie" style dress) and was looking to see if they had it in stock or I would be able to order it. I asked a sales person (a young girl with short brown hair..I did not get her name) if they had that dress. She promptly told me "no" but she could order it for me. She then asked me what size I was I said 6 or 8. She then told me that I would need to order a 10 or 12 because they run so small. My close friend is my height & weight who just had her wedding a year ago & purchased a maggie sottero dress in a size 6. I`m sure that the sales person was just looking to add the cost of alterations to my purchase. She also then proceeded to tell me due to the shortness of time until my wedding that I would need to put a "rush cut" on my order of another $150. During this whole exchange she was nothing but condesending and rude.
I am happy to report I went to Henson Bridal & got my dress in a size 6 (which fits like a glove) and did not need any "rush" services and were happy to listen to MY needs.
I urge all brides out there to NOT go to Bay Area Bridal. I just saved about $400 between their BS rush service and alterations. I cannot express my disappointment in the horrible service there.
BUYERS BEWARE!!

Just thought other brides should know,
