| - So I came to this David's Bridal hearing extremely mixed opinions about their stores as a whole. I was honestly expecting a less than great experience. Reading reviews, it seemed like this one was better than other DBs in Phoenix. I made an appointment online, which was really convenient.
I was pleasantly surprised at how bright and clean the store was. The girl that greeted me and checked me in was nice and let me browse around for about 20 minutes since I was very early for my appointment.
My consultant, Brittani, was extremely nice and friendly (not fake or pushy), so I was glad that I got her! I already picked out my favorite dresses online and she had them pulled when my appointment started. Impressive. The dress that was my FAVORITE was not there though, and they only carried it in Plus sizes even though they have it online in regular sizes too. That was pretty disappointing.
They gave me a bustier that did not fit at all and had make up stains on it from being pulled down over clown make up, so that kind of sucked. I had my own bra but they want you to wear their bustier. It didn't really matter though when the dresses are pulled up against you so you're "in place" anyway.
Some dresses were really nice, others were clearly cheaper fabric. Everything I tried on I already liked since I spent a lot of time picking them prior to the visit. I definitely recommend doing that so you can avoid wasting your time looking at dresses still in their bags or having a consultant pick them for you.
Alterations are expensive, be aware.
Get a weekday DAYTIME appointment if you can. I had a 2pm appointment on a Monday and I had my consultant to myself and there wasn't many people there.
I like the price range that David's Bridal has, they have dresses for any budget. Cheaper dresses for less than $200 and a couple designers up to $1200-ish.
I had a good time trying the dresses on, they have an awesome selection for the price. I had two favorites but ultimately found "the dress" somewhere else the next day.
David's is GREAT for bridesmaids dresses and color coordinating. I will be using them for BM dresses and Men's Wearhouse for groomsmen. I might even come back for accessories!
My only complaint: Their call center was calling me SEVERAL times a day for a few days after I canceled my tentative appointment to come back. I thought it would stop after I didn't answer a few times. Nope. But once you tell them not to call you again, they don't. No issues anymore. But you can't really blame the store itself for that.
