I liked it...only thing I thought was odd is that the dressing rooms are so small you basically need to dress yourself and I was up to my eyeballs in satin and tulle at one point. They were really nice though!

Thanks. Paradise in Patchogue has small rooms too.

Re: Village Bridal, Babylon

ive gotten 5 bm dresses from this place. overall they are good. they have one woman who does all the alterations so when it comes time for that you need to book like 2 1/2 months in advance for an apppointment.

Thanks Marie. I'm going on the sly - none of my friends know - gonna have to have Mongie do the picture taking - LOL!!! Too much of a pain in my butt getting them together so I have a new plan - I go (I don't tell them) - pick out my favorites and then going to drag them with me once I have it narrowed down. Makes my life a whole lot easier!!!!!!!!

I liked it there the girl that helped me was very nice. I would have gone back there to get my dress except they dont carry Anjolique dresses.

Re: Village Bridal, Babylon

I ordered my gown from them.
A few things:
Be firm about your price range, like and dislikes as far as style of dress. The salesperson will not come into the dressing room with you unless you invite them and let them know it is okay. If you don't like anyone in the room with you will really enjoy the privacy. If you are like me, I needed help getting into the gowns so after 2 dresses I asked the salesperson to come into the dressing room with me. Bring a camera, they will allow you to take pictures of the dresses.

Thanks - wish I knew about the dressing room thing before I went to Lillette's though. There was a party going on in there - LOL!!

As far as style and whatnot - I think I'm finally headed in the right direction as far as that's concerned.

That's a good idea. . . . I told Anthony that I want to take him shopping with me - but he says NO WAY!!! my mom is no help all she says is that she wants me to pick it out, so she does not give me her opinion, and it's so hard to get my friends all together.

Yeah - did it once with my friends - it just takes too long I find. I actually brought Amandah75 with me last Saturday - we had a ball!!!! I went to Paradise in Patchogue and then we had lunch next store.
