For those of you who got your dress at David's Bridal...

I just got a call that my dress, veil, and slip are in. That's great but I am not getting married until July! How long will they keep the dress there before I really have to go and pick it up? I know that they won't keep it until next summer, but the longer I can keep it there the better. How did you guys deal with this?

I am getting married next September. I orderered the dress from DB in August and it came a few weeks later-tiara,veil, slip and all. I went and got it immediately. They said they do not have the room to store the dresses. They gave me a white garment bag to put everything in. I brought it home within 5 days of it comming. I don't recommend anyone leaving it there! I brought it home and looked at it very carefully. I am going to have my mom do another check for me. Good to have another set of eyes look at it. Keeping it in the bag is ok. Be sure that it is kept in a dry, cool, dark place and it should be just fine. I have heard MANY alteration nightmare stories from there! Not to say that there couldn't be someone with a positive story. I think I will feel more comfortable having someone private do it. DB can feel like a mill and will all those dresses there, I really rather have someone more dedicated. Just my opinion.

the seamstress that i had was very dedicated. her name was angela
