I Will Never Buy A Dress At David`s Bridal

That explains why when I called David`s here to originally order my dress, they told me it was still available and was $349.00. I called the David`s Bridal Outlet in El Paso, TX (where supposedly they send the dresses when they become discontinued), who told me that my dress had been discontinued 6 months before. What the heck? I then called the 800 # for customer service, who told me the dress had just been discontinued and not a single store had it in stock. I`m so glad I found this website here in time before I had a potential disaster.

I did ask the bridal salon owner where I am buying my dress from now to see if she could get the dresses out of David`s catalogs. She managed to locate someone through a contact and was able to pull it off. So David`s can take their "exclusive originals" and shove it! LOL! It will all come back on them some day.

Now , this is just me, but everything I found at David`s Bridal was cookie cutter and not all that original. I found the same dresses at lower prices at smaller salons. AND the other Bridal Salons were not so incredibly rude. I also found their sales reps to be obnoxious. I from DE, and I`m glad to hear it`s not just me or the DB in Delaware.

I too live in Mpls, MN and although I didn`t go to David`s I do know the ways of that store. There are more complaints against that store than I can count.

I found a wonderful bridal salon in St. Paul and they were fantastic to work with. I`m not a plus-sized bride but I did see many in the store and they were all treated with respect and assisted in finding the right dress.

If you`d like to know where I recommend you go, please give me your email address and I`ll send you the information.

I live in Utah, and I was also not impressed with Davids bridal. Even though I am not a plus size, I wanted a modest dress. Right from the get go the wedding consultant was very rude and was not helpful at all. I walked in and went to the counter to ask where I went if I had an appointment. It took the girl five minutes to even get out of her chair and come up to the counter to ask if I needed help and even at that she acted very put out, then when I told her where I was getting married and what kind of dress I was looking for, She said they only had one dress that was modest and the rest would have to be filled. I was just starting to look so I told her that it was ok I was just trying to get an idea of what styles I liked the best. I found a dress I really liked, as my friend and I sat and ooh and ahhed at it, the wedding consultant walked up flat out told me that the dress didn`t look good and it would look like crap especially if I tried to have it filled. Then as I was looking in the mirror outside my dressing room she went in my dressing room took all the dresses that were in there and put them away. Needless to say I got dressed and left. It wasn`t a shock when I went to leave and she was no where to be found. (Thank goodness). But I found a place called Bridal Corner it was great, the people were friendly and acted like I was the most important person in the store and because of that, that is where I ended up buying my dress from.

Well this past weekend I went dress shopping. I had read these post about David`s Bridal and was very sceptical to go in. I first went to a bridal shop, and the woman there was not helpful at all and didn`t have any dresses that would fit me (I`m a size 16). She said that plus size wedding dresses were not popular. ???She was not helpful or pleasant at all. The next closest bridal shop was David`s. I reluctently went in there to see what kind of treatment that I would recieve from them. They were extremely busy but they still managed to sign me up to see a consultant. The consultant was VERY helpful and brought out A LOT of selections in my size and was very professional. I found a dress that I really love. I plan to purchase my dress through them. I hope that the rest of my dress purchase goes as smoothly as my fitting. I`m sorry for everyone elses bad experiences. I just had to say that the David`s Bridal in Oxnard, CA was great!

Maybe it`s just me, or maybe it`s just where I`m located. I go to the David`s Bridal at South Coast Plaza in Southern California and I always have a good experience. Maybe they like their job more, or something else. But for all of my prom dresses I`ve tried on I`ve always gotten true feedback instead of fake stuff that dress shops like to throw at you to sell their product. It could also be that I`ve become somewhat of a regular customer, seriously.. 4 years running I`ve looked for dresses there. Senior year I got one off ebay (as soon as I bought it I went into Davids Bridal and finally tried on one dress one of the consultants had been telling me would look gorgeous on me.. I never believed her until I tried it on and realized I"d bought the wrong dress for prom). They even already know that I`ll be shopping there for my wedding dress :D they have my dream dress and they know it.. Perhaps they are holding that over me to keep me coming back? I dunno, but if you are ever in town try the one at South Coast Plaza, much better experience than what I`ve read here. Experienced but comfortable air.
