This was my first and last stop for a wedding dress! I decided to skip David's Bridal altogether due to so many negative reviews, and instead made an appointment with my Mom at Moments to Cherish in Fitchburg. I am -so- glad I did.
I was so surprised by how quaint and relaxing this salon was. No hurrying or craziness going on, my Mom and I were the only ones there for our early morning appointment. My awesome consultant let my Mom and I actually browse the dresses on our own, which was really nice and a lot of fun. Not only that, but we were also allowed to take photos of the dresses I tried on, which a lot of salons do not permit. They also had a really decent selection of dresses.
In the end, even though this was my first appointment, I fell in love with the third dress I tried on and bought it on the spot. I am so excited for my wedding. :) We will be coming back here to pick out my Mom's dress for sure!
I am a size 12 and had no problem trying on the sample dresses. In fact, several of their samples are sizes 12 to 16, which is -really- nice. They simply clamp up the dress if it's too big on you so you can see how it will look on you. I had heard beforehand that sample dresses run small, and was worried nothing would fit me. Not so here!
UPDATE: They offered to let me buy the sample dress I tried on since it fit me so well, and in return I got a discount on the alterations! Best service ever!
