Hi girls,
Ok for anyone that ordered their wedding gown from Paradise Bridal what was your experieince like with them?
My gown is in but they have this ridiculous policy that you can't see the dress until the first fitting.
Help!!!
TIA!

I got my dress there. I wanted to try on my dress when it came in and they told me the same BS. I basically told them that I had ordered a long time ago (almost a year!) and that I was concerned I had gained weight, which if I did, I wanted to be off before my first fitting (which was about three months after my dress came in). Once I insisted they really said it was not a problem and luckily I did go cuz I needed to drop a few pounds! Read my review- gives some info about them!

Was in a wedding where we ordered our BM from them. I don't remember many problems at all except they insisted on ordering me a size 12 (I am normally a 4-6 and my measurements usually put me in as an 8) ) and I had to have MAJOR alterations!

No, I basically just insisted and they gave in pretty easily... they told me their big concern was that people try them on, get makeup on them and then want them to pay for the cleaning... dumb!
