I love it there (as I have mentioned a billion times ) They do have a large selection and they are so patient with you. They have most designers. I got a Sophia Tolli but I know they have Maggie as well. Look at their website and it lists who they carry. http://www.villagebridals.com/
HTH!

Re: village bridal babylon
I actually did not have a great experience at all....maybe they had an off night. But NOBODY helped me AT ALL. I had an appt. and when i got there, they were like, 'ok, go look for dresses and you can try them on' So one of my BMs was helping me pull dresses. We carried all of the gowns into the dressing room and my BM helped me get dressed. Not once were we asked, 'How is it going? Do you need any help?' Nooooothing. Even if I fell in love with a dress there, I wouldn't give them the business. If they couldn't help me BEFORE i bought the dress, how would they treat me after i already spent a few Gs there & they already had my money, ya know? Maybe ( and I hope) you will have a better experience!!
Like I said, maybe it was an off night, I dunno. But some brides rave about them.

Re: village bridal babylon
I just ordered my dress from there last week and they were great. I dealt with Amy and she was a huge help!!! I had pics of dresses I wanted to try and she pulled what they had along with dresses I might like while I looked to see what else they had. Her hands must have been killing her from all the corset tying!!! Overall I thought they were very helpful.
ETA: They have a large selection of Maggies, and Eve of Milady. I don't know what else because I picked a Maggie so I didn't look at any more.

Re: village bridal babylon
I purchased my gown at Village Bridal Babylon. My overall experience was great! The staff is helpful, patient and they have a lot of designers. One piece of advice, invite the salesperson into the dressing room with you. The dressing rooms are small but as you know the dresses are difficult to put on by yourself. When I went to shop for gowns at Village Bridal I had already been to two other bridal salons and was use to the salesperson just entering the dressing room with you. This did not happen at Village Bridal that after the 4th dress I asked the salesperson to come into the dressing rooms. I asked the salesperson why she did not enter the room until I invited her and she explained they will not enter the dressing room unless the bride invites them in otherwise they wait for you to come out. I didn't care those dresses are a big pain to put on by yourself.
Have lots of fun and good luck!

Well I guess that explains why nobody helped me It would be nice if they offered though.

I got mad and was ready to give up that is when I finally said something. Some of the dresses are ridiculous! Dress shopping was fun but I do not miss stubbing my toes a million times and tripping on the dresses while walking out of the dressing rooms to show my mom.

Re: village bridal babylon
I LOVED Village bridal..in fact I found a dress and I am going to see if Village can order it for me instead of where I found it. Also..don't know if you have vendors picked out..but they are connected to a LImo company and have other vendors they work with...if you buy a dress there, you get discounts to all their vendors.
