i am looking into getting my wedding dress and one of my top choices is at David's Bridal I've heard mixed reviews. Do they order a new dress for you ordo you take what's on the rack? How are they with alterations?
I believe that you take what is ont he rack. I'm not sure though.
They will order a new one but they have final rack sales too. I've been to both Lake Grove and Westbury locations and I def. would say the ladies in Lake Grove are MUCH MORE personable, friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and muchless pushy. So if you do go check out the Lake Grove Store. Westbury they arent the nicest of peoples and having ordered 3 BM dresses in the past from that location I had a few issues. I went there only bc thats where the rest of the BP went at the time and BELIEVE me they would all agree to what I said too. GOOD LUCK!!! I thought I had found 'the one' (dress) for me at a Davids Bridal but then by accident I stumbled upon another in a magizine and got it up in White Plains.
I've tried on the dress that I think is 'the one' at DB and I'm afraid if I go there I am going to be disappointed by them telling me I have to take what's on the rack. And who is to say they tell you that they ordered it and it's from the rack anyway? I may be reading into this too much but I am a little concerned.
I got my dress from Davids in westbury. They ordered me a new one. The only thing is that the people there are not very friendly. But they have great prices.
I got mine there off the rack...got a really good deal..It was the dress I wanted and had to get it so i took it off the rack ..
i went to the one in westbury. my salesgirl and seamstress was great
I got my dress from there and it wasn't off the rack they ordered it. I don't know about their alterations though I think i'm just going to bring it to someone i know.
My Bp and both moms got their dresses from David's in Lake Grove. I made an appt to be on the safe side...we had a good experince altho it was very crowded on a Saturday. They have you take the dress off the rack if it's in your size but most of the time they don't have your size so they order it. We went about mid-April and they called me last week and every dress is in...also my BMs got their dresses for $88 so they are worth checking out!!! Last year my sister bought her wedding gown from there and it only took a week to get it!
I got my dress at David's Bridal on Old Country Road and it was off the rack, because they were discontinuing the dress in ivory, so I got a really great deal. My MH, BM's and FG's got their dresses at David's as well. My bridal party had to order their dresses and they were all in pretty quick. My seamstress was good and the same seamstress also did my moh's dress as well.
I was very wary of going to David's Bridal since it is so commercial but my mom convinced me to go and check it out. Typically the way that it works is that they carry all sizes and try to carry each dress in all sizes. This worked out well for me since I am not the typical size 4 of 6. I was able to try on 15+ dresses in my size or bigger in order to get an idea of what I liked. I fell in love with one particular dress but they did not carry it in the color that I wanted. You have the option to either take it off the rack or order new. With the dress that I wanted, I wanted to try it on in the right color before I ordered it. The nearest store that had the dress with the color that I wanted was in Texas and they don't do store transfers. I was really torn because I had a feeling that it was *the* dress but once you put the order in for your dress you either have to keep it or you get a store credit but you cannot get your cash/original method of payment back. I highly recommend checking out David's Bridal to everyone, especially if it will be your first time trying on dresses. I hope that this helps!
I got my dress from the westbury store and it was a great experience- the sales lady who helped me was not at all pushy or rushed I went during a week day- made a big difference in how you are rushed out of there ( I went on a sat to look a bm dress and wow what a change in the people there) but I went back on a Tuesday nite with my girls and it was way way better- no problems with getting a new dress for me or my girls my mom even found her dress there- they have been nothing but great.- being a plus size i was also happy they have sooo many different style and size to actually try on- unlike a few stores in the area that had nothing and said a few not nice things when i went to try dresses on in there store!!! def give them a try!!!
I got a bridesmaid dress from the David's Bridal in Westbury for a wedding this past march. Dealing with the people in the store wasn't the greatest. The girl that was helping us suddenly disappeared and we finally learned that she left to go on her break. She didn't have the courtesy to find someone else to help us or even come over and tell us she was leaving. We were just left in the dressing rooms waiting. We finally ordered the dresses and when it came time for me to try mine on it was completely huge on me. One of the ladies in the alteration department asked me why I chose such a big size, meanwhile they were the ones who measured me and ordered the size. I really didn't have any say in that part. They kept rolling off prices of how much it was going to cost to get the dress altered, and it was definitely much more than I paid for the dress. I was just disgusted. One of the ladies finally suggested ordering me a new dress, so I tried on the same dress two sizes smaller off the rack (which happened to be the color that I needed) and it fit perfectly. The only alterations I needed was to get the bottom hemmed. The alterations came out perfect and the dress looked great. The whole situation just caused a little unneeded stress for the bride-to-be. Overall I guess I got what I paid for.
OK LADIES MY SIL WORKS AT DAVIDS, YOU ARE MORE THEN WELCOME TO TAKE THE ONE OFF THE RCK BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TOO, THEY WILL ORDER YOU A BRAND NEW IF YOU WANT THEM TOO, WITH NO PROBLEM, THEY ALSO DO FITTINGS THERE, THEY DONT HAVE A SET FEE FOR ALTTERATIONS, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR GETTING DONE, MINE ALTERATIONS FOR MY WEDDING WAS $138.00, MY SIL WAS $80.00 SO IT ALL DEPENDS
They order a new dress for you. They told me it can take up to 12 weeks to come in. As for alterations I am not sure. I didn't end up getting the dress there. Just didn't like the quality
