Hello all,

My Fiance is extremely upset over her selection...
I guess she was there and was pushed into a dress she did not really love..

So, a couple weeks pass and she finally calls them to explain that she really don't want this dress and wants a refund.. She did not alter it or even wear it.. They said no refund but they did offer to exchange the dress for her.

she then went in to exchange the dress and the lady who helped her try to pick out another dress was so pushy and rude... at times she was so lazy she would not undo the dresses to put them over her head.. shoved the dress over her head with force.. she was already in pain when she went, now she even in more pain after..

It was a short appointment, she got so discouraged from all of this.. she ended up letting her emotions take over and just settled with the dress she already had been forced into from the prev appointment..

Lesson to be learned here.. Dont ever use Davids Bridal for anything.
They are pushy and more concerned about their commission then helping the customer find the perfect dress for their wedding day.

Any one else have poor experiences with them ?

See, I had that aweful/pushy sales rep/up pricing experience at the Monroeville DB.  They were rude and when I told her I couldn't afford the dress that SHE decided was my dress she tried to sell me on the credit card, when I told her absolutely not she couldn't be bothered with me anymore. I went to Robinson and had a sales rep named Ashley, and she has been absolutely wonderful!!  No problem/straight forward/no BS.  I switched everything to Robinson and made all my BMs go to that one.  I guess it depends on the people there.

I'm sorry your fiance had such a bad experience. Atleast she was able to exchange the dress...

I actually had a great experience at this DB location. It was my first time trying on dresses and my consultant was excellent. She pulled some dresses I had favorited online and picked a few on her own that she thought I may like. From hearing all the negative experiences at DB on the boards, I was fulling expecting to have a horrible time there. But it was honestly a really great experience. I didn't feel pressured or rushed into anything and I really appreciated it. I will definitely be making another appointment there with my consultant, she was awesome.

I don't really want to put anyone's name out in public, but if you'd like the name of the consultant I had just send me a PM. She was great!

The one on McKnight Rd isn't much better either. :/ I am a BM in 2 weddings this year. My first trip there, they tried to talk the bride into choosing the most expensive dresses they could possibly choose, which was nothing like she wanted. They then tried to sell us sashed, flowers, and other dress accessories that were not necessary. When the consultant wasn't there, she was... well, I don't really know where she was. We went during the week so there was no crowd, and she spent most of the session in the back somewhere, but we were told we were not allowed to touch the dresses on the racks. So half of our time was spent waiting for her to come back to pull more dresses.

My bride chose a dress there, because they are so cheap. When I went to get measured they REFUSED to measure me, because they were too bosy. They put me in a dress that was too small, and said, "Okay, I'll just order you this size!" When I asked to be measured, they said they were too busy. When the dress came in, they did not contact me; I had to call them. I went to the store to pick it up, and they were shocked at how big it was and that I was not measured and very apologetic, but quoted me a $200 alteration cost (far more than the dress actually cost) to fix their own mistake. I attempted to haggle, but they wouldn't budge, so I had a polyester nightmare hanging from my bedroom door and no place to alter it.

My man's sister in law got her dress there, and they REFUSED TO ALTER IT, claiming they were too busy. So her dress didn't fit for her wedding day, and she had no bustly for her long train. She carried it all night, and it looked like it had been run over by a car by the end of the reception.

Zelinski's is a dress shop in Charleroi is WONDERFUL to work with, their alterations are AMAZING, and I highly recommend them if you are willing to make the drive. Their gowns are bill levkoff, mori lee, etc. along those lines.
