“Absolutely beautiful dress”

Dilara J.
5/1/24

I must say my experience shopping with Stacees was absolutely amazing. I was kept in the loop from the moment I placed my order to the moment the dress was delivered at my door. The dress itself was absolutely beautiful, the picture didn't even do justice to what the actual dress looked like in person. My daughter got so much compliments and she felt like an absolute princess.

BE AWARE! They say you have 7 days to return. My daughter changed her venue so she changed her dress. We bought a vail Saturday 9/7. We went to return it Saturday 9/14 and they said she could not return because it had been EIGHT DAYS? This was a $200 vail, which is alot of money. I just worry this may happen to someone with a $1,000 dress. The manager was SOOOO RUDEEEE about it as well. I wish I could upload photos. She BOLDLY highlighted the 7 day return policy on every receipt we had that day. I'm not sure what calendar they use but my entire 50 years on this planet a week from Saturday is Saturday.? I couldn't believe it. We went from finding a beautiful dress and being excited about that… that process was painful as well for the record. I got scolded for looking for a dress she had tried before to try again and was told I couldn't touch the dresses again. I guess you can touch them when u get there to pick 3, but DO NOT touch after that. They could not find the dress we wanted to see again. They said it would be on their tablet in her profile, it was not. They had dresses on there that we had never seen before though…? So since I was not able to go grab it, we were not permitted to try it again… our experience the week before was WAY different, we had Kat and she was AMAZING and made it a fun and happy day. She was not available the 14th and it was a stressful experience. We didn't get to see all the dresses we wanted and then had to argue that 7 days was not 8 days. She bought the dress because it was perfect, but she decided not to get it tailored there or give any more business to them after being treated so rudely. We shopped at the Dayton Ohio location both times for reference. I've never been treated like I was a total idiot for not buying 7 days is actually 8 days. The manager was nasty.beyond nasty to us. My daughter left with her hands shaking and so upset on what should have been a wonderful memory…

After not having the best experience at previous stores, my stylist at David's Bridal (Terrell) was the most amazing person! She was so funny, extremely helpful and catered to my rather demanind wishes for the perfect dress. I found exactly what I dreamed of. Terrell even picked it out for me to try based off of what I said I wanted, it was perfect. HIGHLY recommend this store, and even more highly recommend Terrell as a stylist.

The David's Bridal in Mesquite is the worst, do not go here. My consultant that was supposed to make me feel beautiful did the exact opposite. She just stood there, she acted like it was above her to have me try on more than one dress, and the dress I wanted that was online was discontinued. Which it did not say online! She was lazy and made this the worst part of planning my wedding. She also did not help my bridesmaids at all try on dresses; I scheduled an hour for me and an hour for them. She did not even help them try on; I had to help them in and out of the dresses. When my daughters dress came in they could not even find it, yet they called me and told me it was in and to pick it up by Friday. No "please" just pick it up by Friday. This is by far the worst customer service, my suggestion close this location, they obviously do not care about the women that come there, nor their jobs.

I am very grateful to both Robby and Louanne for their help in helping me find a beautiful dress to wear as a wedding guest for a bride and her family (very dear to me). It turned out that the very first dress that Robby picked out (I considered many) was the one I went with! He was a very good listener, had a great eye and cared about my finding something that I will not only feel good about wearing, but that I would love it, and I do, and actually, it is quite comfortable on! Well done!

When it to comes to dresses and to wearing special occasion dresses davids is always a great choice to ship from due to the high variety of gowns and dresses they have. The label Davids is a good and low priced idea but the designers they carry with their own name is expensive. For example they sell Terani Couture gowns that I saw in their store was much more expensive than Teranis website macktak.com
But still in general they are a good store to buy from. I do appreciate their store.

I was to meet my future daughter-in-law and did not have the address of the correct store. I went to the store on Bluemound Rd. In Brookfield, WI. A young woman, named Khadija, helped me with the address and phone number of the correct store. She was wonderful. Even though there were groups waiting, she still took the time to help me, and sent me on my way with the needed information.

I came to David's today. Picked out several dresses. Didnt really care for them. Then my consultant Autumn picked a dress that i loved on the hanger. Tried it on…really liked it but felt it was missing something. I mentioned a belt. Autumn went & picked a thin blingy belt. It was perfect! My dress is now complete! I definitely said YES to the dress! Thank you Autumn!

My daughter the bride Laura, my daughter Danielle the bridesmaid and myself Diana, mother of the bride had the great privlidge of working with Jocelyn. She stayed with us the entire time we were there and made some wonderful suggestions for my daughter (by the way she choose the first dress she tried on) and she knew exactly what she was looking for. I was not sure what I wanted and I was able to walk out with my dress collection the same day. We all got our dresses and were ve happy and excited. She is a great asset to your company.

I am writing you to express my disappointment in a recent experience with your store. I purchased a dress from your Paramus store which they unfortunately didn't have in my size. They very graciously offered to have it shipped to them in my size. When I went to pick the dress up, I decided it was not right for my occasion and tried to return it. Even though I was picking up the dress (seeing it for the first time) that day, they told me it was past the 7 day return window and I could no longer return it. I'm not sure how I could've returned it any sooner.

How can I return merchandise that is not in my possession. When I tried to leave the dress there that day, they told me I would be charged anyway. I am a senior citizen and cannot afford the expense of this dress. I tried call the corporate office and received no help.

I've ordered 2 wedding dresses, 4 MOB andMOG dresses, 2 flower girl dresses, save the date and rehearsal dresses, as well as 4 Bridesmaids dresses. My moms dress was sent to wrong location no notice, my save the date dress had sensor tags still, my moms replacement dress had a sensor still and a small hole near the sensor, the lady for 2 of my appointments was completely rude, there was no discount of steaming done to my dress when I bought it off rack, now a month and a half from my wedding they called to change my fitting date to a month before my wedding. This is not just a fitting I have more alterations that need to be done which what leaves me getting my dress a week before the wedding?! What bride is ok with that?!?!?! Very disappointed with almost every experience I've had.

Could not return dress to store. I took dress to store to return and was told they are a separate company. What? I can return Arie to American Eagle, I can return Lands End to Sears and in some Kohls stores I can return Amazon orders. I was told by store manager to hurry and CALL because I only had 14 days to request a return authorization. Again, what? I could not start a return online. I should mention that the dress was well made, sized accurately and a good value. But since this is SITEjabber you get 1 star. Your online process is antiquated.

Made a 2nd appointment for alterations, realized that what was discussed was not done despite being charged for alterations. In fact, instead of doing what was agreed upon, they chose to cover up the actual stitching needed by sticking a flower where the alterations was supposed to be. When I called the manager to let her know that someone on her team was being dishonest and was doing shoddy work. She never apologized or offered a refund. She wasn't genuinely concerned or that it even happened. Really disappointing that a store manager wasn't able to conduct herself in a professional manner with integrity and care. It was an easily rectifiable situation but a manager that doesn't care says it all.

Mediocre service and unprofessional manager

I went to The East Brunswick NJ David's Bridal and I can't say enough wonderful things about my stylist, Patience. She was so caring and kind and let me tell you- this girl knows her stuff. I picked out 15 dresses on Davis's bridals website as my favorites to try on and I liked a lot of them but I wasn't 100%. As I was deciding between 2 dresses for my wedding, Patience said let me just grab one more dress and I was sold. Omg it fit me like a glove and I felt so comfortable in it. She was spot on. I will forever be a loyal customer to David's Bridal and Patience for their superior customer service, professionalism and value for the money on my purchase. I was deciding between a mermaid/ trumpet style dress and ended up with the gorgeous Chiffon A Line and I couldn't be happier. Enjoy and ask for Patience!

Sanabelle
Sanabelle, the lady at David's Bridal in Orland Park, IL made this a totally memorable experience in the best of ways. She was there for me, on the spot. Helped me with dresses, gave honest critiques. Stayed with me throughout the whole "ordeal", trying different dresses, etc. I bought my dress here. This was my 3rd David's Bridal in the Chicagoland area, and not to take away from the others that helped me at the other stores, I'm just saying that Sanabelle was exceptional. Thank you!

I ordered a dress in the store, and it came in two months later. I went to the store and tried it on and didn't like it. Refunds are only given after one week from the PURCHASE date and exchanges up to 60 days from the purchase date. So, even though I never even HAD the dress, no refund and ALSO, since past 60 days, no exchange either. Does this make sense to anyone?

All the staff and especially Suzette in Alterations were wonderful to work with and I found my wedding dress. Suzette was especially helpful to get it alterd in 3 days as the Wedding is on the fourth day. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

Verified purchase

I ordered my dress online through the David's Bridal site, after trying one on in store and receiving very poor help. I am the mother of the groom. When the item arrived it was not only the wrong color it wasnt even the item i ordered at all. I contacted someone immediately to return it and was told they didn't have a replacement in warehouse so i would have to be refunded and then purchase again. Growing frustrated but trying to be understanding I agreed. Now I am just beyond frustrated with your company and it's return policy. I do NOT have 2 months to wait for a refund of monies when you have had the product back in your possession for nearly 2 weeks already. I have 6 children, 4 daughters and 2 sons and we will NOT be using David's bridal for any future weddings. This is beyond ridiculous. You sent this refund email to me 4 days ago, and it states it may take up to 2 billing cycles to show my refund. How can you honestly do business like this? How many weddings have you ruined, how many brides have you stressed out to the point of tears? Shame on your company.

Ordered a wedding dress 'special order', so 3 month delivery. Dress arrived after 2 months, with hole in bodice; second dress arrived after a further three months in the wrong size. Rejected the goods as per English law, and therefore entitled to a refund. The company accept the first dress was defective and the second was the wrong size, but they state that the CONSUMER RIGHTS ACT gives THEM the right to keep trying to produce the dress as ordered. What rubbish! They are in breach of contract, and they have consistently failed to reply to correspondence until I have used Twitter. Brides - do not choose to use Davids Bridal until you have googled 'Davids Bridal complaints' and read the awful reviews on their products and customer service!

My daughter said yes to the 4 K dress at mollebridals. To the person at David's that called my daughter a Spoiled Fing $#*! in front of my 14 year old daughter. Here's the deal I am retired so I don't care. I am retired Fire Chief from Martin county Florida 600 firefighters and I used to work forPalm Beach County fire rescue 2000 firefighters. I will do everything in my power to let all these organizations know not to go to David bridals you have the ability to reach out to me so feel free to do it

WARNING: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEIR ONLINE STORE. Purchased two dresses delivered on 5/5 and due to work constraints unable to try on until 5/13. Fit was poor and not my style once I was able to try on. I tried to return the dresses on my first day off 5/16 (tags still on, all packing material kept, dress on for 5 minutes at best). Had to text "HELLO" to some "person" who informed me after I waited several hours for a response that since I did not request the Return form within 7 days (from delivery date), I would be unable to return. YOU ONLY HAVE 7 DAYS TO RETURN AN ON-LINE ORDER. Stuck with two dresses that I don't want and can never use! I find the policy restrictive (7 days!) to return items. Feels like David's bridal is trying to dump dresses to compensate for the wedding cancellation pandemic!

Think twice before buying from this company. I ordered a dress, and 3 weeks later, they refused a return. Never ever again. I will buy from user-friendly merchants of which there are plenty.

Tip for consumers:
ordered 4/4 --took over a week to arrive...tried to return on 4/25 and was refused. NEVER AGAIN. nothing but regrets.

If you want your wedding dress ruined, by all means, let davids bridal touch it. If you want to feel belittled and unappreciated, go for it. Save your time, money, and sanity and go anywhere else! I was charged more than the price of my dress to have it ruined and made unwearable without hundreds of dollars of repairs from someone I could trust. I was blamed for their poor work and they had the audacity to try to get me to pay for further alterations through them. Then rushed me to sign to take my dress. Working on getting a refund which they keep fighting because THEY MAKE YOU PAY BEFORE THEY RUIN YOUR DRESS! Then they tell your bank that you authorized the payment. What a clever way to cover your tracks David's Bridal. Don't fall for it.

If you are wanting a "no pressure" appointment this is the place. As in, if you want exactly ZERO help with finding sizes, the attendant offering suggestions based off of what is and is not working, this is for you. I was VERY disappointed with my experience at their Fort Wayne, Indiana location. When I set my appointment, I was inundated with text messages requesting ALL my wedding information, including photos of the venue and a personally written synopsis of what I was wanting/looking for/my personality. Don't waste your time. I sent pics of our backyard and stated more than once that it is a low-key wedding and that my budget was $300. The ONE dress that my attendant brought me was glam to the hilt and over $700! Also, I know you can't control the prom crowd there shopping, but maybe set them aside from the brides? My 70 year old mother had to sit on the floor waiting for me to come out, and I was overrun by teenagers trying on prom dresses the entire time. I could not get out of that store fast enough.
