Here's the deal... i want to go to Kleinfeld's with Mom and FMIL on a sat soon... I also want to go to Pricilla of Boston ...
is it too much to do in one day? Basically does Kleinfeld's get crazy and is it too overwheming to do two places lik ethat in one day?
I should say that Pricilla has tons of things that I know i will love (based on their website)... so will I be burnt at two heavy hitters in one day?
opinions please!

Re: Kleinfelds...will it make me nuts?
Manhattan then Boston in one day?? Thats a lot to do. I would do it on 2 days just so you don't feel overwhelmed and crazed. There's also a Bridal Reflections in NYC, if your already in there you can always hit those 2 in one day if you really want to cover some more ground ya know?

No it doesnt get crazy...to go to kleinfelds you HAVE to make an appointment, and be ready to give your CC# they keep it just in case you cancel less than 24 hours notice otherwise they wont charge you. Since its all by appointments only at kleinfelds it wont get crazy at all. When i went there were only 3 or 4 other brides there at the same time and 2 of them were down the hall on the other side so couldn't even see them, only when i walked back into my dressing room and i went on a saturday around 4:30pm. Appointments are 90 minutes at kleinfelds. ALSO kleinfelds carries priscilla of boston dresses and has tons of them there so you can just try on pob dresses at kleinfelds

if theres a specific POB dress that you are looking for or even a couple of them, you can call kleinfelds ahead of time to ask them if they have the sample of that dress, try to get the sample # of the dress just in case you do have specific ones you want. Kleinfelds does have the largest amount of samples than any other store, they have 1500 they always have in the store so hopefully they'll have what you want. If not then make an appt at POB too, i think you can definitely do both in one day, just dont do late appointments.
Yes, i loved them. It all depends on the sales person you get and thats the case at any place you go to. Some S*CK and some are great. I luckily had the nicest sweetest lady, was not a snob and even tried to convince me to spend a little less when i was deciding between 2 dresses so none of that about them wanting you to spend more. She even let me stay past the 90 mins but i think its also bc of the time i had which was about 4:30 and they closed at 6:30 so probably she didnt have an appt after me. They helped me alot and did even extra things they didnt have to do, i went with 5 people lol my mom, dad, moh, FMIL, and my moms best friend that is like family to me and closer to me than any family member. We all walked out of there and all they kept saying is OMG how amazing they were and how nice they were and what a great experience they had. Even FMIL was calling her friends to say how wonderful they are and that we have to send them a gift basket lol.
Hope you have the same luck and also have a great experience, no matter where you go.

Re: Kleinfelds...will it make me nuts?
I don't think it will make you nuts at all, especially if you have dresses in mind. I already went to POB (long island) and fell in love with a dress. I figure it is going to be the one, but I want to go to Kleinfelds for the experience as well and to try on different designers. When I tried on POB dresses I almost wished I was going to another appointment to try on dresses to compare. I think the adrenal gets you going. I have an appt. on March 8th for Kleinfelds.

Also, it has been harder to get an appointment with POB in NYC then Long Island. Their Long Island store is about 30 minutes (w/o) traffic from NYC. I live in Hoboken and it was such an easy commute from POB to Manhattan when I went.

Re: Kleinfelds...will it make me nuts?
I went with my FSIL and it was great. Such a girls day! We went 1st thing in the morning and it was great- not to crazy. Wasn't fun having to get up early, but was a lot of fun.
Every bride should do it! I'm waiting until closer to my wedding, but i'm definately going!

Re: Kleinfelds...will it make me nuts?
I think doing both on the same day will be a bit much for anyone.
I would suggest to do them on separate days.
I had an appt this past saturday at Kleinfelds in the morning and it was not as crazy as in the PM!
By the time my mom & I left around 11am the reception area was pretty full!
Have fun shopping!

Get out! The apt that I was going to take was March 8th at Kleinfelds at 4 pm...would have bumped into you! But I decided on a day when I could visit both places and they only had 4 oclocks at each place on that day so its not going to happen that day...
Thanks for the advice!! Good luck on your hunt too!!

Here's the deal... i want to go to Kleinfeld's with Mom and FMIL on a sat soon... I also want to go to Pricilla of Boston ...
is it too much to do in one day? Basically does Kleinfeld's get crazy and is it too overwheming to do two places lik ethat in one day?
I should say that Pricilla has tons of things that I know i will love (based on their website)... so will I be burnt at two heavy hitters in one day?
opinions please!
I went to only POB and tried on about a dozen dresses and I was tired! It took about 2 hours and all the dresses I tried on were big heavy ballgowns. It's not easy getting in and out of those things! I also tried a couple more than once. I personally would do the 2 salons on seperate days.

Re: Kleinfelds...will it make me nuts?
don't make your appointments too close together because when I went to Kleinfelds, they made me wait quite a while. That being said, it is a fun place to shop b/c it is so big and bustling and there are so many newly engaged women!
