Only shop here if you want to be body shamed and gossiped about by the staff.
From the first time I called this store to make inquiries about appointments, purchases, etc, to picking up my dress - the front office/desk and about one of the stylist staff have been unprofessional and seem to hate that they work there.
I was instructed by the bride whose party I'm in to purchase a specific dress and color that she had chosen at David's Bridal. Otherwise I would have never stepped into the store.
The first time I called, the lady who answered the phone was still talking to her coworker about how she didn't get a specific day off, and ultimately told me I can learn everything I needed online and quickly hung up.
I made my appointment online and went in to try on the dress. When I arrived I greeted the young man at the check in desk and let him know my appointment time, etc. He rolled his eyes and said that he'd try to find someone to help me.
The first stylist who approached me, asked for my size and when I told her I'm between a 8-12 depending on the fabric, she laughed and said that I was going to be an 18-24. Nothing like someone looking you up and down and making a statement like that. I told her the style of dress I needed and she walked me over to the dressing rooms and started taking different dresses with the largest sizes in each style.
She disappeared after I told her none of them were the dress I needed and the only nice person there, Nashira, helped me find the correct dress in my size, which ended up being a 12.
When I went to check out, the previous stylist seemed upset that I was being helped and made a comment about the size of my dress and how it should have been much larger for what I look like.
Nashira assured me I had the correct size and was extremely professional and kind. Honestly, she deserves so much better than to work with the rest of the people there.
My dress came in early, and the phone call I got was so cold and the person who contacted me said that they'd keep it if I didn't "hurry up" and pick it up.
While picking up my dress, I walked in and looked for a staff member. There were two stylists helping brides, and the office staff were huddled behind the counters discussing an older client who didn't speak English. They were making comments like, "I hate old people" and "I wish she'd make up her mind and leave." I walked toward them and said I had an order to pick up. No one moved, I tried to hand them my receipt but they said they only needed my name. I said my first and last name and they all started to giggle. They asked me to pronounce it repeatedly, and started to fight about who would go find my dress because no one wanted to "walk all the way back there."
They told a newer staff member to go find it and she asked me for my name about four more times. She took her time and came back with nothing. While she was looking, the women and one man were gossiping about one of the brides who was beaming with joy in the dress she was trying on. They commented on her size, saying "fat women" shouldn't wear dresses like the one she had on.
The young man working there saw that the girl didn't find my dress and he sighed and said "I guess I'll have to find it since you don't know how to look." He also had to take my name down about four or five times and when he came back he had my dress bunched up in the bag.
When leaving I said thank you I hope you have a nice day and he turned to me and said "yeah whatever."
I'm not sure who manages the store, who makes the hiring decisions, or why this staff goes out of their way to make it obvious that they don't like their jobs and tear people down. These individuals had the ugliest personalities and it's sad to think about how many people go there to find something special for weddings and other special events.
If this is the only store option for you, proceed with caution. Otherwise take your business elsewhere. read more
