Consultant I had was less then helpful. She did not ask questions about the wedding or offer suggestions as far as fabric, style for my body shape etc. In retrospect, I hate my dress...it was the wrong fabric (heavy satin in June, I was dying hot after 10 mins), the wrong body shape (I am thick in the middle and ended up in a drop waist?!?), and two sizes too big for me. They go by this book to judge what size you should order, be wary of this. The dress was way too big and since the top was corseted the seamstress did not want to take it in so it fell down the whole wedding! Bridal stores with a quality selection are limited in the area but, I would go elsewhere if I could turn back time. I wish I knew then what I know now! If you do go here, you better have a good idea of what you want first...think about fabric and what shape looks good on your body etc. Wedding photos are forever...
