Burt*ns Bridal Rant

I am not impressed with Burt*n's Bridal at the moment.
When I was looking for my dress I went to about 5 different stores and never found 'the dress.' I saw a stunning dress in a magazine and the only store that I could find that had the dress was burt*n's. So I decided to go. I had such a wonderful experience and Carol the woman I worked with was amazing. She was patient, and really knew what she was doing. Besides that one dress I was looking for, I had absolutely NO idea what I wanted. I ended up purchasing my dress there in February, and also ordered my Bridesmaid dresses in April. I was told that both dresses would be in by August for my October 27th wedding. Well, that didn't happen. I called them at the end of August ( around my 2 month mark), and was told that the bridesmaid dresses were shipped, and mine was to ship next week. I was a little irritated but said okay because there was plenty of time to get everything done. Well, I called again on Wednesday, about 3 weeks after my first phone call, and was once again told that they have been shipped and would be in this week. (my bridesmaids yesterday and mine on Monday). I asked them how long does it usually take to ship, and where is it coming from because 3 weeks is ridiculous and they both should of been in already if they were ordered on time. I also asked for a tracking number so I could track the shipment myself but was told they didn't have a tracking number. REALLY? So once again I called today. To make sure my bridesmaid dresses were in like I was told and was once again told that they were going to be coming in next week on Tuesday. ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?! I bugged out and told them that this has been going on for a month and that if I knew this was going to happen and it was going to take this long for everything to get done I would of went someplace else. I have just over a month until the wedding, I am from out of town, and I have bridesmaids all over the country. This is 110% unacceptable and unprofessional.

Sorry for the long rant, but I just think that everyone should be made aware of this ridiculousness.

I would also avoid getting your alterations done there if possible. I had a HORRIBLE experience there with a dress as a bridesmaid. I had to end up going 4 times for fittings which is just ridiculous for a bridesmaid and I was coming all the way out from the city. The worst part was the seamstress kept trying to tell me the dress fit perfectly, meanwhile as soon as I moved my hands away from my sides the whole thing would slide down. Sorry lady, I have worn numerous strapless and bridesmaid dresses before and this is NOT supposed to happen once alterations are done. Finally on the 4th time there for a fitting I brought my mother with me for reinforcements, we demanded to speak with the manager and insisted they do the alterations right there while we waited. The manager stepped in and did the alterations herself while we waited like 30 minutes or so. The whole thing was awful, I would never recommend them for anything. I wouldn't even go look at them for flowers because I think the business is so poorly run. So not worth the money you save by using their services. Definitely take your dress elsewhere if you can, I would hate for you to have to deal with that especially since you are cutting it so close with alterations time now!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this!! Totally unacceptable! I ordered my bridal gown from them this past February and I had my doubts about having my alterations done there, and now I know for sure- I'll go somewhere else. My dress is suppose to be in next month- lets see if that happens.
