Oh my gosh this place is a blessing!! Went to a few places before this that made me felt so uncomfortable. This place felt so good right from the start! Brittany helped me find the PERFECT dress and took her time to let me look at anything I wanted to and try on! Amazing place! So glad I found my sparkle!!

I had a wonderful time shopping for my dress! Every dress I tried on felt super comfortable and supportive. As a young plus-sized woman, I am always concerned that I wont find anything in my style but I didnt even have to worry about that here. I loved every dress I tried on! My stylist made the experience a breeze and went above and beyond to help me say yes to a dress.

It took a very long time for me to be able to right a review without getting in some kind of emotional state. I purchased a Sparkle gown in January 2018. When purchasing my gown I was promised my dress would be there by June. Mid June I contact sparkle regarding my gown and was told it would be there by the end of June and they would contact me. I waited until around Mid-Late July and did not receive any contact. I contacted Sparkle again and asked about my dress and why I haven’t received an update since it was about a month past my guaranteed delivery date. No one provided any answers and I was told to just wait. Mind you my wedding was in December and you need a few months for alterations. I called every month from June all the way to September and Sparkle did not provide me my dress until Sept 22. Once they provided me my dress 3 1/2 months late without any notice, they proceeded to hand me a list of alterations specialists they recommend. Because I received my dress at such late notice everywhere they suggested I go to was booked and some said I needed to provide more time than just 2 1/2 months before. Sparkle is completely unprofessional when I went to pick up my dress I also had a discussion with the then manager about how absurd this whole situation was especially since I was given a guaranteed delivery date and was told there was nothing they can do and I was lucky that It came in time. How is it I am lucky for paying over 2000 dollars for a gown that was not delivered in time still baffles me. I do not recommend Sparkle. I do get there’s not a lot of plus size boutiques but, honestly they aren’t worth the hassle and emotional distress. My wedding dress was also not the same quality as the dress I tried on. At first I thought nothing of it but after further examination there were many flaws that I had to find a seamstress to fix.

I had the most amazing experience at Sparkle Bridal. Brittany was kind, knowledgeable and attentive during my appointment. I told Brit about the style and vibe I was going for and she picked the most beautiful dresses for me to try and the very first one was *The One* I have tried on dresses at a few places prior to sparkle and I could 100% tell the difference between a wedding dress made in my size and a wedding dress made FOR my size. Sparkle caters to a curvy bride and the dresses show the difference! I wish I would have gone to sparkle first! I love that the dresses are designed and made for only one bride and not mass produced so I won’t be seeing any other brides with my dress. I would recommend this bridal shop to all curvy brides!

Ive known of Sparkle for years and years. Id drive by it and think - this is where I want to get my wedding gown. It was the first plus-sized ONLY bridal I knew of in the Bay Area. While more and more bridal boutiques carry plus sizes, few of the sample sizes actually fit me. At Sparkle, I was able to see how each dress actually would look on me. My first try-on, I found some pretty dresses but none were the one. I scheduled a second visit at a time when I was told more dresses would come in. Brittany, my stylist, was very communicative with me. When I came in for my second visit, she had a couple styles ready that matched my preferences, including one from my first visit that I liked a lot. Neither were the one. Brittany then said I have an idea. She came back with the most gorgeous dress I had seen yet. I pulled it on and knew it was the dress. I was so happy to have found a dress at Sparkle, because I felt like Sparkle truly caters to plus sized women. We arent an afterthought or category to hide at the back of the store. I felt truly stunning in the dress and didnt want to take it off.

I have never had a Bridal experience like I did at Sparkle, and I’m truly grateful that I was referred here to find my dream dress. I had had a bridal appointment at another shop earlier on that same day before going to my sparkle appointment, and the experiences were vastly different. The first place, which also carried high end dresses, had relatively fewer selections for curvy ladies, and I felt that the stylist who helped me did not have a strong grasp on clothing curvier women, as she pulled some dresses that were too snug or made me worry about my weight. Additionally, there was an underlying pressure for me to walk out same day with a dress I felt good about but not in love with, and after stating I had another appointment, the staff offered to pay my bridal fee for my next appointment and put it towards my dress so that I could cancel. I’m so glad I didn’t cancel my sparkle appointment! As soon as we walked in, my bridal party and I were instantly greeted by Sandra, Rhonda and my stylist, Brittany, who were all absolutely incredible. Brittany was attentive and supportive the whole way through, and ultimately helped me find a dress that feel truly beautiful in, and I’m talkin, I exude beauty in this dress. She listened to me, was with me every step of the way, and showed confidence in styling thicker ladies, and this dress would not have been able to choose me without her. But I think above all, what made my sparkle experience so amazing, is that I felt truly welcomed by staff, and didn’t feel that I had to change myself to find a dress that would capture my beauty as a bride. I’m so grateful to Sandra and everyone at sparkle for making a space for curvy ladies to find their dream dresses. Thank you ladies!

I am a few days out from my appointment and still feeling blissful! My whole experience was more than I could have ever expected. Britt was so amazing; she was kind, patient and truly listening to me. She was willing to think about adjustments or tweaks I hadnt even thought of. She provided with me so many options. She had dresses pulled for me based on the information I had sent via text before my appointment. The first one was amazing, I tried on all others and asked for one more shape in the style I was looking for and she delivered! I ended up being torn between two dresses and Britt was so patient while I decided and tried them both on multiple times. We were the only appointment in the shop and I never felt rushed or that I was taking too long. The owner Sandra was also there and was so welcoming to us upon arrival. I was so pleased with the structure, comfort and detail in each dress. I had no idea they were all uniquely designed and made for Sparkle only. I am so happy I found this boutique as there were no plus size wedding dress boutiques close to me. Thanks again Britt and Sandra!

I loved being here. As a plus size women I was definitely nervous about trying on dresses and not loving myself in a wedding dress. I had Sandra help me and she made me feel so good in all of the dresses I tried on. I was torn between two different dresses so I asked Sandra if we could merge the two, take certain things from one and the design of the other and make a whole new dress with it and she was able to do that for me. It is even better than my dream dress!! Sandra went above and beyond for me. My best friend also got her wedding dress from here. We are both in love with this shop and all of the staff. I will definitely recommend this shop to all of my friends and family

As a bigger girl I was terrified of wedding dress shopping, but the moment I walked into Sparkle I felt like a Queen. Brittany had pre-selected a few dresses based on photos I had sent her prior to my appointment. Brittany was so attentive to my style and what my vision was! After a few dresses she said there was something in the back that she thought I would like. It turns out I said YES to that dress!! I highly recommend Sparkle to anyone who is plus size, especially if you’re nervous! Brittany will make you feel so at ease! She treated me and my girls as if we were all family. I can’t wait to see my future husbands face when he sees me in this dress!!

Finding my dress at SPARKLE was an exceptional experience! SPARKLE provided me and my family/friends with an individualized and special experience that will be forever remembered! I highly recommend the SPARKLE Celebration. The owner, Sandra, hosted a private fitting with my party where I felt heard and supported. Each dress is unique, detailed, and beautiful!This was a far different experience than other bridal shops I went to before SPARKLE. Others were impersonal and rushed while the quality was not up to par.Finding a dress as a curvy woman was hard enough but SPARKLE made it effortless and enjoyable!

I had such an amazing experience shopping for my wedding dress!! Brittany was so kind and helped me find the perfect dress for me on my first visit. I did not expect to find my dress on my first visit so that was such a great feeling. Brittany really listened to my requests and also helped me to think outside the box and try different styles of dresses. The whole time she made sure to make me feel special. I had a great time talking with her and she was so genuine and fun!! Thank you for making this such a memorable day!!!

Wide variety with a very tailored experience. Sparkle took the opportunity to learn about my style and wedding venue including asking for style inspirations. Upon arrival they had dresses already pulled based on my input. After spending some time with Brittany, she pulled the perfect dress! Its was everything I wanted and more! Having the privacy of a quiet salon was wonderful for both myself and my Mom. I would definitely recommend checking out this bridal shop and special thank you to Brittany who took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and making the process seamless.

Absolutely amazed with my experience at Sparkle Bridal Couture. I went into wedding dress shopping with the mindset that finding the perfect dress was going to be challenging. I was SO wrong. The moment I tried on the first dress, I fell in love. The craziest thing happened afterwards. The 4 following dresses I tried on were ALL stunning. Our stylist really paid attention to the style I was going for and had many dresses already selected. I am still daydreaming about my experience and just feel so lucky that I got to experience the magic of Sparkle bridal couture. Thank you to the entire team.

I had the most amazing experience!! I went in with a few ideas and had sent some inspiration pictures. As I tried on the dresses I chatted with Sandra and little did I know in that short time she was really getting to know who I was and what I wanted. 3 dresses in she pulled an additional dress for me and when I put it on I instantly knew This Is My Dress!! I thought that magical moment was fake and honestly a little dramatic. Well ladies, Sparkle gave me that moment! My magical moment!! I actually cried and was so emotional.Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!I’m so very glad I went to Sparkle, Sandra was like the added cherry on top!!

Sparkle bridal couture gave me the best experience as a plus size woman! I was having a difficult time to find a bridesmaid dress for my friend’s wedding. I was getting frustrated and upset, but when my friend recommended Sparkle I was like let’s just try it and I’m so glad I did! I got a personal stylist and she made the experience so comfortable and comforting really boosting my confidence in this whole process. I had even messaged the boutique before booking my appointment to make sure they had the colors and size I was looking for and they got back to me so quickly. I booked my appointment and it was all fun from there! It literally felt like I was on ‘Say yes to the dress’ for plus size women. I highly recommend this boutique to women that have trouble finding wedding/bridesmaid /formal occasion dresses. The stylist really boost your confidence but not only that they really listen to you and help you find exactly what you envisioned! I cannot express how much I truly love and appreciate this boutique. The stylists are amazing, the shop is amazing, it’s the whole package of dress shopping!

Review №17

Im very torn about how to best rate Sparkle Bridal Couture. First, I should say that I think it is beyond amazing that this store exists here in Sacramento and that plus size brides can try on dresses that actually fit them up to size 30ish. I also have to recognize that operating a business is not cheap and that everyone needs to make a living. I was, however, disappointed to find that the dress that I purchased from Sparkle Bridal Couture could be ordered online direct from the manufacturer at HALF the price! Knowing that I overpaid that much really impacted how I felt about the dress and my entire experience with this business. If you have your heart set on trying on dresses and having a typical wedding dress shopping experience, this is a good place for plus size brides. However, if you are willing to step outside the traditional shopping experience, you have options. Check out Sydneys Closet online. They dont have a huge selection but have good quality, great prices and the sky is the limit with alterations and personalization so you can craft your dream dress!

This place was amazing! I came in on my birthday not expecting it to be such an amazing experience. It was a surprise. I thought I was going to be fat in my dress and that being a heavier girl it was going to be harder but to be honest it was perfect. I kept going to this one dress. Brittany was phenomenal. So easy to work with and helpful. She made me feel at home. Needless to say, I found my dress. It was wonderful.

Shopping at Sparkle was like a personalized fairy godmother experience. It was two days before my wedding, during a pandemic, and there was a problem with my original dress.(Problem: I bought it online, and it was ugly.)No problem for Sparkle Bridal Couture. In-person shopping, during a pandemic?? I had a private appointment and the entire store was closed. Wow! I felt like a celebrity. It was the first time I ever had so many dresses to choose from, and the dress concierge was unbelievably kind.Above all, the dress I found was absolutely perfect.

Great experience! I was worried about trying on dress and wondering if anything would fit. I am a woman with curves and Brittany was wonderful. Made us feel welcomed and all the dresses fit!!!! They definitely know how to cater to plus size women without making us feel like plus size. I said, yes to the dress, in the first visit and I highly recommend SPARKLE BRIDAL

My Mom found this shop on Good Day Sacramento and I am so happy she did! Their dresses are all unique and trendy and they have a wonderful selection in varying price ranges. I was contacted before my appointment and asked questions about my wedding; colors, theme, venue etc. and dresses that I have seen online I liked, I was asked to text them over to my stylist. Brittany was so helpful and picked out the best selection of dresses which really showed my style. The thoughtfulness they put into my appointment so I could make the best out of my appointment time worked perfectly, because I was able to find my perfect dress at my first bridal appointment. I said “Yes to Sparkle!” Couldn’t be happier with my dress, it’s everything! Thank you all for your help, I will be recommending you!!

Today I went to sparkle to find the perfect dress for my wedding day. It was a fantastic experience, there were dresses already pulled for me to try on, the area you try on your dress is huge, you arent shoved in a small changing room and you have so much space to get into the dress. We found 3 top contenders for my dress. I ended up going with one that fit amazing, no alterations needed, and we walked out with the perfect dress!

I was not allowed to share my experience virtually with my dad who was recovering from being in the hospital. Once I found a dress I liked the consultant was no longer interested in having me try on dresses. She then proceeded to tell me no photography of the dress to share with my dad, they were one of a kind and I could have them reserve it for 24 hours for $100 that was non refundable. They stated you can’t see dresses via photo unless you buy them, yet they can keep posting dress arrivals online. Absolutely get like I was being treated like a car salesman does on the lot. Made a terrible bridal experience for me.

Brittany was excellent in helping me find my perfect dress. At first, I walked away from Sparkle to explore other options at other shops, but I contacted Brittany because my mind was on the first dress at Sparkle. Brittany made it happen and had a spot open for me to come back to the shop right away to give the dress a second chance. I immediately fell in love with the dress once I put it on again! She dressed it up with accessories and made it so much more beautiful! Thank you, Brittany and Sparkle Bridal Couture!!! I found my dress!!!

I had the most amazing experience at Sparkle last week! This was my first stop in my wedding dress hunt, so I wasnt expecting to find the one right away. Brittany and Sandra were so patient with me, as I am one picky bride! Haha! I tried on about 6-8 dresses, all of which were beautiful! The dresses are so well made, and have a bit of stretch to them, which is perfect for a curvy body.Overall, I felt super comfortable throughout the entire appointment. I felt welcomed, wanted and most of all… beautiful! My dress has been ordered and I cant wait to see it once it comes in! Thank you again for everything! I cant wait to ✨SPARKLE✨ on my big day!

Absolutely loved this place! I was a little discouraged going to another bridal store in town so going into my appointment I was not expecting to find a dress right away. The week of my appointment they texted me asking me about what I was looking for so that they could pull dresses before I showed up for my time slot. Brittany pulled my dresses for me and the first two dresses i tried on I knew one of them was going to be my dress. Brittany was extremely helpful and I’m so happy I found my perfect dress. I’m already recommending this place to my friends and they are excited to find their perfect dress as well. Thank you so much Sparkle Bridal!

Walked in today for my niece to try on wedding dresses. The atmosphere was sophisticated + elegant but also comfortable. There was a beautiful assortment of dresses in many styles, all plus size. Very helpful, patient, welcoming staff. I believe we were helped by the owner, I dont recall her name but she was great. My niece was very apprehensive about trying on dresses, wasnt expecting to like how she looked. She thought she wanted a particular style, mainly to hide in. But our consultant found a dress that was a totally different style, but absolutely PERFECT! I am thrilled that we decided to drop on to Sparkle and that our consultant, the owner I believe, was so good at her job! Thanks for helping someone I really care about to find the dress of their dreams! I will recommend your store to everyone!

I had such an amazing experience at Sparkle! I went here after trying on gowns at several other stores and not having any luck. Sandra listened to what I wanted and what I had already tried and helped me pick gowns that fit what I thought I wanted but were a little outside the box of things I had already tried on. She was not daunted by my quick timeline and helped me find a beautiful dress I took home with me that day! After trying on dresses in other stores, I was blown away by the difference in quality and comfort at Sparkle. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

I had such a great experience with my two sisters, and the experience felt intimate and special. I picked my wedding dress at Sparkle when I did not expect to since I have had my eyes set on another dress at a different store. My consultant, Vanessa D. was so sweet and helpful and made me felt comfortable. I ended up choosing the dress that she pulled off the rack for me.Be aware that the dress size may be different from other bridal stores. I went in assuming I wore size 18 and only pulled out dresses from the rack that was that size and most did not fit me well. I should have been trying on size 20-22, so it was a bit hard to imagine myself in “the right one” until I did. Other than that, I still had a great experience and it was really sweet how the store gives you a little gift for choosing their dress.

Amazing customer service. Sandra was super sweet when helping me pick my wedding dress. She brought me options that I wanted to try on. I sent in pictures before coming in of what type of wedding dress style I was looking for. She grabbed one for me from the back room and as soon as I saw it on the hanger, I knew it was going to be the one. I tried that dress on last and it was the one!All of the dresses here are made to fit girls who have curves. Ive never tried on so many dresses that fit so well at once. I highly recommend coming here to finding your sparkle. 🙂

The store was very clean an elegant looking. The workers were very nice. They offered me and my guest water or tea. Which gave a nice warm vibe. They were able to fit me in last minute since I didnt live in the area. I found a nice dress.Since my wedding was coming up soon I wasnt able to get a new dress so I got one off the rack which was still nice and cheaper. My first time going there so I got another dollar amount off my final price. Also I was given a little extra gift (I wont spoil the surprise) as a nice thank you not something any other store would have done. Thanks again to Aleta for your help and staying patient and kind the whole time.

Had such a great experience at Sparkle! I made an appointment a week ahead of time and gave them details of what I was looking for and texted in pictures of dresses I liked. At my appointment my group was promptly greeted and offered refreshments. My group was seated and my stylist Taylor and I got started with finding dresses that I liked. She gathered about 10 dresses and we started trying on. She was helpful and helped me step into each one before turning around, opening the curtain and showing my group. After trying them all on, I found the one!! Very exciting! I was so nervous that I wasn’t going to find one, and since my wedding is in 6 months I had to buy off the rack that made me even more skeptical. They had plenty of dresses in my size (size 14/16) and Taylor helped take all my fears away the moment I stepped into the first dress. Such a fun experience, I highly recommend going here you won’t regret it!

Just got married this weekend wearing a sparkle gown and it was lovely! I ended up getting some of the accessories and alterations done at a different location to save on costs, but I am very happy with my dress from the boutique.My experience there was very pleasant. The staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable about what dresses matched my style and budget well. It only took 3 dresses to find the one but I still had many more to try as well. It was a major relief as a size 18 woman to walk into a store and have ZERO doubt that I would be able to try on their dresses. Like many fancier dresses, these tend to run a size or so small relative to normal clothing, so be prepared to order up a size if need be. I however was able to find a dress right off the rack, purchase it, and take it home the same day. They even threw in a little heart charm necklace as a thank you for the purchase. It was a nice gesture and the jewelry was very cute!My one complaint was that we were not allowed to take photos in the dresses. I understand the necessity in order to keep their stock and options competitive with other places, but it would have been nice to text my good friends a quick photo for second opinion. Many of the people whose opinions matter most to me are not local and couldnt make it to the try on.All and all, whether you are looking to try or to buy, I would definitely go with SPARKLE!!!

A party of 8 and we were there with open minds, we were encouraged to help the bride pick dresses, and open communication with the stylist, WHAT AN AMAZING TIME! As MOH, my bride was so happy, other brides were crying at the fit, the comfort, the ability to be curvy, flirty, and beautiful. I was very skeptical since the closest thing to a catalogue is their Pinterest posts, dont waste time because you will be amazed and awed with the options. COME! SHOP! LOVE!!

I went into this shop super nervous because it was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I didnt know if I would find THE ONE but I did!❤ Every single employee made me feel so comfortable and gorgeous. I went during the yearly sale and saved SO much. This is hands down the best experience I could have ever imagined. Would recommend them a million percent 😍

Attention to the clients needs and customer service was excellent! My sister and I are both planning for our big day and went in together. We both found exactly what we were looking for at Sparkle bridal and the prices are great!Couldnt have experienced a more perfect fitting.

Their dresses are quite beautiful, with a decent range in prices from $500-2000+ for wedding gowns and under $1000 for occasion dresses. The staff was enthusiastic and helpful. The big drawback is that no photos or video are allowed because of the proprietary nature of the designs. I was excited while I was trying things on, but within an hour of leaving, I couldnt really remember what Id tried on.

This place has very few dresses for brides and even fewer selection for bridesmaids. The service was not all that great. The appointment ran over big time and there was only one girl trying to help everyone. Idk what the others were doing but she told us they were short staffed.I think it is great that they focus on plus size brides but there just werent many options. My aunt is the bride she didnt like any of the options. The bridesmaids sections had dresses that all looked the same but in different colors. If I had to take a guess I would say there were 20 bridesmaid dresses

Highly recommend Sparkle, they made me feel right at home with how caring they were with my needs and wants. I really love how they take thier job very seriously and cater to plus size woman. I walked out of there feeling very confident and so in love with my dress! Definitly will be telling my Engaged friends to go to SPARKLE! Oh and to top things off I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and thier window display was decked out In Harry Potter decor and the most beautiful Harry Potter wedding cake I have ever seen, I knew right then and there is was definitly a sign that i needed SPARKLE in my life!! Thank you so guys so much for being a part of this beautiful journey im about to take with the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!

Amazing customer service, beautiful dresses. Im getting married in 35 days and went to Sparkle yesterday for a last minute hunt to get a new wedding dress (I tried on the one I bought 6 months prior and fell out of love with it) after explaining the situation to the ladies on the phone they got the style I was interested in, size, and what they had in stock that fit what I wanted I could purchase the same day and not have enough time to get it altered. Found the PERFECT dress . Sparkle turned that nightmare into an amazing experience.

Review №85

Ill start by saying that the dress I got ended up looking beautiful, and the experience of buying it and actually being able to try on (and fit in) dresses was great. I love that theres a shop dedicated to bigger sizes.However, I was very misled by the sales person there and pretty rushed in the buying process. The one I ended up loving was the last they had in stock, and a discontinued model. It was about 6 sizes too big for me to start with, and I knew I wanted to add sleeves to it. The salesperson told me thatll be absolutely no problem for alterations, a quick and easy fix. Its better to buy it big.Then I went to all the seamstresses on their list of recommendations. The first one quoted $2,500 to get the dress to my size and add sleeves -- more than twice the cost of my $1,200 dress. The second one quoted $2,000. Both of the quotes were so high because of all the work that was needed to bring it in -- including totally remaking the bodice that was meant for someone with a much larger chest. They said theyd be better off making me a new one from scratch.I called sparkle in tears asking if I could return the dress because I just couldnt afford that type of work. They told me to try Sylvia from Keepsakes Bridal -- the cheapest on the list and the last person listed. I was concerned about getting cheap alterations, but gave it a shot and ended up going with her for $500. She ended up making the dress look lovely, but it was an extremely stressful process with many hiccups along the way, and the dress wasnt ready until the day before I needed to leave for my wedding. Sylvia ended up echoing the same sentiment the other seamstresses said -- that she wouldve been better off making one from scratch than doing all the alterations that were needed to bring a dress in that much.The real kicker was when I went to pick up my finished dress, and Sylvia said that another Sparkle bride just brought in the exact same model as mine. Remember, I was told it was a discontinued model and that it couldnt be ordered in my size.My big warning: dont let this deter you from going to sparkle -- the dresses are lovely -- but make sure you get one in your size! It was the farthest thing from quick and easy to alter.

1 dress size xxxxxxxxxxxxxxl and thats it. Said it would take 9 month to get the dress resized. I only went here because it seemed to be popular I didnt know it was for plus size and the styles they had were all the same. If your plus size or bigger give it a shot. If your a normal person and maybe only need a large, dont go here.

PLUS SIZE GIRLS GO HERE!! Request KIM as your consultant she seriously was so amazing, kind, patient, humble and a breath of fresh air! She made me feel welcomed, beautiful, and most of all that these dresses were meant for me. The selection was unreal and everything I could ever imagine. I went to Davids bridal because I heard they have dresses for size 26 and above, boy was I WRONG! It was a horrible experience that left me in tears. Sparkle had so many stunning dresses appropriate for my age group and left me saying yes to the dress. Im a 28 year old, who wears a size 28 in wedding dress so I was so excited to see lots of beads, bling, sparkle, contrast, lace and much more. I HIGHLY recommend going during the week, you will have more of a personalized visit. This place is WORTH THE DRIVE! I found my dream wedding dress the first visit and first try on! I seriously am so happy to have been reccomend this place. For once in my life as a plus size girl I left a clothing store in happy tears of joy!. Thank you Kim and the owner of Sparkle for coming through when other places didnt or couldnt. So excited for my big day!

I was expecting a great service like the ones i read about on the reviews but i had anything but a great experience! I made an app. A week prior to attend their big 75% off sale. Answerd questions on phone, sent pics to vanessa of what i was interested in and looking for was assured that there was dresses in my preferred style and on my budget of $3-400. SUPPOSEDLY dresses were as low as $99 & $299. She said she would have dresses ready and pulled for my 12:30 appt. I was looking for a steal and when i arrived all i saw was 4 racks of dissapointment. There was no dresses pulled for me, the lady was clueless of my appointment, style pref. And all the info that was gathered prior. nothing was noted for me i had to answer questions again, which was ok but then i was told to go find a dress and go into the room in the corner thats where ill be in, yea..the cheapest dress i found was $169 & looked like a bridesmade dress, one more at 695 and the rest was 1200+ and that was 50% off or more. The sizes to choose from where like size 28 and odd sizes and was told i could spend a few hundred to get the right dress sized...At that point i was like ok this is my first bridal exp. Just make the best.. but almost every dress i picked up had dirt or make up on it. I asked the lady who was supposed to be helping me could she help me find a dress in my range. And told again to go look myself as she talked to another employee. I lost it..i said you know what this is ridiculous and the most crapiest service i have ever had!I ended up going to davids bridal and getting a $1400 vera wang dress for $650 & i didnt even mind spending it because the service was on point, the bargains were true, the selection was there..even for plus size woman, and i had the experience i deserved when looking for a dress.
