David S Bridal Dresses Biography
Source:-(Google.com.pk)
Just for the record. I HATE David's Bridal! Well...not the actual dresses and such, but David's Bridal in Tallahassee, FL are a bunch of snobby B words. I've had 2 experiences with them and they both sucked.
The first one, I went with my sister and my friend to try on dresses. I'm a 20 in wedding gowns. I knew this, the consultant knew this. I told her I didn't want to try anything on that wasn't in my size because I couldn't get a good idea of how it would look/fit if it didn't zip up. I was very nice and she seemed to be understanding. I knew there were a lot of size 20 sample gowns because we had just gone through the store looking at them. I stand in the little fitting room for about 15 solid minutes in my skivvies waiting for her. What does she bring me first to try on? A size 14. I humored her and put it on. Of course it didn't fit. I tell her again that I need a dress in a size 20 and to please not bring me anymore 14s to try on. 20 minutes later!!!.....she brings me another dress. This one wasn't a 14, but a size 12. I just look at her and my cheeks start getting hot. I've been hanging out in my drawers for 40 minutes and have accomplished absolutely nothing. My sister intervenes at this time and runs to the floor of dresses. Her and my friend come back with their arms FULL of gowns...all in a flippin size 20. Was this consultant just doing this to piss me off?? Grr...I kind of hate that girl. So she disappears once again. My sister and my friend help me try on all these dresses and I go out to the little podiums and gaze in the mirror. After about 30 or so minutes the consultant comes back and asks me if I minded if she went to the bathroom for a few minutes. I just look at her like "Seriously?? You've been gone this whole time and haven't helped at all. Why would I care if you went to the bathroom?!?!" My sister, lol...bless her heart, tells the girl that will be fine. So anyway...I found the dress I love and that flatters my figure well. I want to order it! I'm so excited!! I start searching for the consultant to tell her I want to place an order....and I can't find her. By this point I'm just pissed. I have had absolutely no help from David's Bridal in finding or purchasing a gown. I give up. I change back into my street clothes and start looking for a manager. Trying once again to order the dress. I waited and waited and no one came by. So we left...I got the style number of the dress and vowed that I would NOT be purchasing it from David's Bridal (although it was a David's Bridal dress). I searched and searched the internet for my dress either new or used and finally found one at a great price and in amazing shape. The bride before me had already gotten the bustles put in so it saved me a step! :)
Fast forward to last week.
I take my beautiful dress to David's Bridal to have it cleaned and pressed. I spoke with the alterations department on the phone and told them it was a David's Bridal dress but I did not buy it from David's Bridal. They seemed to be ok with that and said to bring it in, and it would cost $45. I drove all the way to Tallahassee last Monday (like an hour away) and get escorted to the alterations department to drop of my dress. Everything was going smoothly and I decided right then that I would give them another chance and order some shoes from them. The alterations lady takes my dress out of the bag and starts freaking out because it has been altered (the bustles). David's Bridal isn't allowed to do that kind of bustles and she starts drilling me wanting to know which shop did it and blah blah. I told her that I wasn't asking them to alter it, I just needed it cleaned and pressed. She continues to drill me and says she has to call her manager and show her what another David's Bridal did. (Apparently the bustle was permanent and they're not allowed to do permanents.) I told her several times that it wasn't altered at DB and I didn't need them to do a single thing to my dress but clean and press it! The store manager comes in and guess who it is. The B of a consultant that I dealt with last time! She's the STORE MANAGER now!?!?! I threw my hands up, said "I'm done. Just give me back my damn dress and I will have it cleaned somewhere else." The manager wants to know what store did the bustles because she has to report it. I told her DB did not do the alterations!!! How many times do I have to say this?? All I wanted was my dress cleaned. Then I had to argue with her to give me my damn dress back! UGHHH!!! HATE HATE HATE DB in Tallahassee!
Anyway, I found a dry cleaner closer to town that does wedding dresses. I'm supposed to pick it up Monday. I was nervous about taking it to a regular dry cleaner because I didn't want them to mess up my dress. Before I even dropped it off I got their policy in writing that states if my dress is damaged, then they will pay for it. That made me feel better.
Vent over. I couldn't give a review for DB yet because my wedding is in October. :(
