I just had my Bridal Party purchase their dresses at David's Bridal in Carle Place yesterday. I know you get what you pay for but I was not too happy with the service. The dresses are fine and very reasonable so I used them for that reason. I also have 10 girls and they are all different sizes so I thought it would be nice for them to choose the dress they like and I chose the color. It is a line of dresses called Color Expressions.
I am concerned about the place doing the alterations for the girls.
Has anyone used David's Bridal in Carle Place for alterations and did they have a good or bad experience with them?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Re: Davids Bridal
You'll get a lot of mixed reviews on here about David's alterations. But I had a wonderful experience with them. I bought my dress there and had them do all the alterations and they did a great job. Everything was perfect with my dress and they were very nice!!

I used them. The service was not great, but most of my girls did go elsewhere for fittings. I also got my dress from there, and my fittings too. My gown fit perfectly the day of my wedding. I had no problems.

Re: Davids Bridal
Thanks for all your responses, I appreciate it.
I do have one more question though they don't have a cap on their alterations. Do you know how much they charge for the alterations? I thought the price for the dresses were so reasonable but I would feel horrible if they had to spend more on the alterations then they did on the dress.
Thanks again everyone!!!

Re: Davids Bridal
When I got my dress it needed to be hemmed, sleeves needed to be taken in and the bustle. This all was $200. I did not think anything of it because,
1. They did a great job on it 2. The dress was so reasonable that i did not mind spending the $$

Re: Davids Bridal
I had alterations done at the Yonkers David's & tt was expensive. It was I think around $100 or $120 3 years ago.
Almost as much as the dress. I did have a lot doen though, but that was becaue htey told em to order the 14, even though I tried onteh same & it was big & they had a 12, but said not to even bother trying it on.
It was a 2 piece dress- I had it shortened, the waist taken in, the staps shortened and the sides of the top taken in. And the top never did lay right.

Re: Davids Bridal
The dresses are all different. They are from a collection called color expressions. They are very simple and they are all one piece dresses and the material is satin.
