Does anyone know any secrets on how to figure out what manufacturer makes a dress - based only on the vendor number at the bridal shop? I tried to find the tag- but, I know most bridal shops purposely remove them. I have been trying to find the dresses online based on using specific search requirements- no luck. Thanks!
Sorry I can't help you. All the places I went to had the tags on the dresses with the style #s and everything.
Did you ask the saleperson? Most of the bridal shops I went to told me who the designer was. I personally would not buy my dress from a shop who would not give out this info.
Maybe try asking the sales woman and see if she tells you or try to find similar styles in magazines and search online. Sorry I am not much help. All the shops I went to had the tags in the gowns and the salespeople told me the style name. Try and describe it in another store maybe they can tell you. Good Luck!

Do you have the Bridal Bargains book? They talk about each designer and rate them and also give you tips about shops that won't tell you the designer. Check it out!

If I were you I would just ask the salesgirl who makes the dress. If she pretends she doesn't know (we all know she does, how can she order the dress without knowing who designed it?) I would think twice about purchasing a dress from her. It is illegal for bridal shops to with-hold that information. I found that at all the shops I went to if the tags were replaced with store tags the salesladies told me who the designers were when I asked. This was a really big issue for me and I made sure the stores would be up-front about the designers before I tried anything on just to avoid the scenario of falling in love with a dress at a shop that engages in shady sales tactics! Check out the Bridal Bargains book website. They talk a lot about this issue.
I found my BM dresses at a shop that removed the tags. I called the shop a few days later and told the salesperson that I wanted to find the dress online to show my bridesmaids who lived out of state (which is true). Since I then knew, I shopped around and finally ordered the dresses from RK Bridal in the city. They were about $70 cheaper per dress!
