Both my FMIL and a friend of my fathers said that Estelle's is a great place to shop for dresses. Supposedly they have low prices. I know they have bridal gowns. I am thinking of visiting. Anyone else been there?

There's a separate section in the store for wedding gowns & flower girl dresses I believe. Not a large selection but fairly decent.

Re: dress at Estelle's in Farmingdale
Estelles has a lot of dresses - my mother got her dress there, however my sister-in-law had a terrible experience - in that her wedding dress didn't come in on time and it was the wrong color - and they don't do the alterations.

Re: dress at Estelle's in Farmingdale
I tried on a few there. Not crazy about the service. It's very rushed on the weekend too. they do have one rack of plus size samples. Its worth a look, b/c you don't need an appointment, I would reccomend it more for other dresses, like MOB, or a guest.

Re: dress at Estelle's in Farmingdale
We bought our bridesmaid dresses there for my FSIL's wedding. As far as the bridesmaid dresses go everything is pretty much off the rack, no alterations in house. It is a good place to go if you have little time and if you want to stay under a certain budget. Otherwise it is pretty impersonal. Plus there are many prom-like dresses. Don't know about the bridal gowns. I looked around quickly & noticed that the selection seemed pretty limited. They have a lot of bridal accessaries though (for the whole bridal party).
I went there a few weeks ago. The dresses were ok but the saleslady didnt exactly jump up to help me. The MOB dresses werent too great. I think its a great place for prom dresses mainly. But it doesnt hurt to check it out for yourself!

they have a huge selection but b/c they are on the cheaper side, they are knockoffs and might not hang as nice as the real ones. but they have a great selection!

When I was there, they had a lot of dresses in odd sizes (2's or 22's) not a lot in the middle. What they did have were very poorly made.
I thought all their dresses were poorly made and didn't look like they would hold up well. JMO and I could've just been there on an off day.

Re: dress at Estelle's in Farmingdale
My FSIL bought her wedding gown @ Estelles - now granted, the gown was not at all my styel - but it LOOKED cheap. - it's one thing not to spend a ton of money, it's another when the gown looks like tissue paper. - You can also try David's Bridal for less expensive gowns in a range of sizes
