| - Came to DB as my first experience trying on dresses. I made my appointment as I was instructed to do so. I had a list of dresses that I had seen online, wrote down the #s, etc and brought my list in with me. I arrived with my $1000 budget for my dress. So, the gal shows me to the dressing area, and I wait while she gets the dresses. She comes back with 2 or 3 of them, puts them in the room and says " ok, here you go, let me know if you need help" and poof, she was gone. Im standing in the room like, huh?? how do I even get this thing off the hanger?? Its a good thing my mom was there to help. So long story short, I didnt buy anything this day. I just wasnt impressed with the overall store, how they did things, etc.. and I really didnt care that much for the dresses. Fast forward to the dress I bought: I found it at a small private owned boutique, had great service and its a gorgeous well made gown. Same price point and in some cases less than DB. Also, many of the reviews about DB is that they charge an outrageous amount for alterations and get this, you have to pay $15.00 more if you want a plastic bag!! Dont rule out the small bridal shops because you think DB is cheaper. In a lot of cases, it wont be.
Now.. my only positive thing about DB is that if you are in a rush, you can get your dress the same day.. but it will have be cleaned.. and oh, I think you pay extra for that too.
For you west side brides, look at my review for Molina Bridal. Oh, and I didnt have to pay extra for my dress bag either.
