| - I've been to this David's Bridal location twice in the past two months; once in mid-January to buy shoes and then this past weekend to buy a bridesmaids dress. Let me break down this review into the two times I have been to this DB.
Trip #1 - Shoes: Went on a Sunday afternoon in mid-January. Brides, mom, and friends galore...ahhhh get me out of here ASAP! Thankfully shoes do not require much help so this was a quick trip. The selection isn't huge, but there were enough for me to pick from. I had done some research online before going, so I found the four shoes I liked and tried them on. Settled on a pair and went up to the register. It took me a few minutes to get rung up - this store really needs to clearly mark lanes or do something to tell us where to stand if we are not buying a dress. The salesgirl who rang me up was super friendly and answered all my questions regarding shoe dying. I was in and out of the store within 20 minutes or so. 3.5 stars.
Trip #2 - Dress: I decided it was probably time for me to go pick out a dress and order it for the August wedding, so I headed back to DB this past Saturday afternoon with my husband whose very honest opinion I wanted. Now I understand bridesmaids are only the backup singers in a wedding, but seriously it's not reason to completely ignore them when in a store trying to find dresses to try on. It took us almost 20 minutes to find someone to help us out. The store was not that crowded (I think I counted maybe five brides at the most trying dresses on) and there were sales people who would walk by us, not acknowledge us when we tried to get their attention, and then just stand around. Finally we were helped by Amber. She took the list of dresses I had written down, found them for me and set me up in a dressing room. Then she disappeared for the rest of my visit. I don't know if salespeople at DB work on commission, but if they do, she owes her commission from the sale to my husband because he did more work than she did. Luckily I found a really cute dress knee-length dress (note: they do not have very many short - knee length or tea length- dresses in the store...most are long) and got 15% off since my friend bought her wedding gown from DB in Ohio. Again, it was a nightmare trying to get rang up and after 70 minutes in DB from start to finish, we emerged. 1 star.
I think the layout of the store is odd and they clearly need more racks for bridesmaid dresses as the racks they have now are packed way too tightly. Also, it would help if they had more sizes in dresses...it was almost impossible to find size 4s to try on and I was stuck trying on 8s for the most part. The register area is small and cramped and they really need to better organize it so people aren't just crowded in no semblence of a line waiting to be rang up.
Hopefully my next trip to drop off shoes to be dyed will be quick and painless. I can only hope so.
