WHEN PURCHASING YOUR BRIDAL GOWN.......

I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but I need your help.

What did you consider when buying your gown. The reason I ask is because I found my gown in (3) stores with different prices. Even they I want to get the best deal possible I am very big on customer service. Any adivce would be appreciated.

Thanks ladies

Go with the place you feel the most comfortable and if they aren't the cheapest, tell them you found the dress elsewhere at a better price, if their costumer service is good, they will most likely meet that price because they want your business. How much of a difference are the prices of the dress?

In my opinion, ALTERATIONS make all the difference in the world!

Ask to mee the seamstress. Go with the place that makes you feel the most comfortable. Its also a good idea to see which place has the best reputation for alterations (some of the bridal salons people used to rave about have been getting some not-so-great reviews lately.)

Hope this helps!

If you don't mind sharing, tell us which 3 stores you've been to and we'll share with you our positive/negative experiences of each. That might help you decide!!

Good luck, this is an exciting time!!!

also- think of the location - you will have to go back many times - so if its closer to your house that might also be something to think about

Mine is at Paradise Bridal in Patchogue. It does fit and it is too short at this point. My wedding is four weeks away. When I tried the dress on it was completely wrinkled. The woman spoke broken English. When I purchased the dress I was told that I could have a shrug made and now the seamstress has no idea about what she can do to make one. I went out on Saturday and found a back up dress if this one doesn't work on my second fitting. Good luck.
