Another David's post I'm bumping for Divabride

Okay, I've posted before about my issues over at David's Bridal (the Danbury, CT store, not Carle Place).

I spoke to corporate. They told me that my dress has been SITTING IN THE STORE SINCE 10/17. My mom called a few weeks ago (since 10/17, certainly) to find out if my dress had come in yet, and was told it hadn't.

Corporate is just as disgusted with the service I received, and gave me a few options:

1. Get money back altogether. This would allow me to either buy the dress at another store (at which they would honor all the discounts I originally got), or just go buy a completely different dress from a completely different store. If I bought a new dress from another store they'd charge me full price on the additional items I got for 15% off, which I love and I don't want to return. Either way, I would still have the 15% off on my BM's dresses and shoes.

2. Pick up the dress in Danbury, and they'd give me an additional 20% of the dress, which would add up to about $100.

To make matters worse, I've been having second thoughts about the dress (mainly as a result of all the problems David's has given me). I bought the dress the first day I went shopping, and I've been secretly regretting not shopping around more. I wonder though if that's just all biproduct of the stress of this whole issue.

So what should I do? I have 24 hours to make my decision. Take the additional 20% off my dress, or get my money back completely to go shopping for a new dress, or get my money back to use at another branch of David's and buy a new dress?

Please help!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you'll be happy in the dress. Everytime you see it you'll think of the problems. I'd keep the stuff and get a new dress all together.

IMO, pick up the dress in Danbury & treat yourself to something nice with the $ you save. You loved the dress when you 1st bought it, & I'd bet it's just the aggravation you've gotten from the store that's making you re-think it. Good luck with what ever you decide.

Hmm ... tough call!!! I *would* say start from scratch if you are regretting not shopping around more. But since that might be just because of the experience you've had, it'd be a shame to lose the $$ you'd be getting off. Sorry that's not much help!!

I say go tonight & try on the dress at another location- if you like it, go to Danbury & buy it.. if you don't start from scratch.

I would get your money back and stay far away from David's Bridal--I have so many of these stories. I would go dress shopping ASAP and order from somewhere else-locally so you can really be on top of them. Good luck

I agrees with Sassyz - go try it on at another location, to make sure it is the dress!!!!

I would think of it this way -

IF you are turned off to the dress because of the experience I would still get the dress and TAKE IT FAR away from the store

IF you are unhappy with the dress in general then I would return it and start again

BUMP - I ended up keeping the dress, obviously.
