Local designer dress for half the price!
by cmswalboski
I got a wonderful, one-of-a-kind dress at Weddings 826 for my wedding. The girl who helped me was WONDERFUL. the shop was cute. i didn't feel like i was shopping at a "discount shop" or anything. GREAT experience! and i got a GREAT deal!
I caution you, not on Weddings 826, but if you plan on buying a sample or off-the-rack dress, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TAILOR YOU TRUST to do the alterations. i went to one tailor who didn't have a clue how to handle my dress. and the next pricked her finger & got a stain on it, which happens, but she cleaned it improperly & ruined the fabric. because i didn't buy it from a traditional salon, it was harder to fix & it would've been harder to replace it.
- Pros: unique dresses, awesome prices, cute feel/locale
- Cons: no returns i think, need to find tailor, replacements impossib
