    Wedding dress

    U found a beautiful unique wedding dress at Prado for a good price. They held it for me until it was time and altered it perfectly.

    I bought my gorgeous dress and rented all the tuxes from Prado for my Savannah Sept 2017 wedding. Mr. Prado and the staff were wonderful, polite, and very attentive to all our wedding needs.

    Lacey is who was my coordinator during my appointment and she was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She was full of energy and LISTENED to what I wanted in my gown. I came in with pictures and what I thought I wanted but she knew by my descriptions exactly what to pull and SHE FOUND MY DRESS! I have never been so excited. They have BEAUTIFUL designer dresses for half the price Atlanta or other boutiques have them for. I highly recommend this store and Lacey!

    This place was fantastic! I walked into the store literally in tears because I bought my original dress from a different local store and the owner closed it suddenly skipping town and leaving me with a dirty torn dress that was already completely paid for! This happened four months before my wedding date! Mr. Prado and his staff came to my rescue. They helped me pick out a much more elegant and beautiful dress than the original one, and he made sure he got it in for me in plenty of time to get it altered. The alterations were also very good and my dress fit perfectly on my wedding day! I also got my bridesmaid dresses from there and they were beautiful! I can't say enough good things about this business! Everyone was so caring and accommodating! Should I need any formal wear in the future, I won't hesitate to go to Prado! Thank you to the entire staff and particularly to Mr. Prado for helping to make my wedding day so special!

    Prado's is a very nice dress shop! All of their gowns are unique and gorgeous. The ladies were very helpful with helping me try on dresses. My dress had to be ordered and when it came in, they were again, incredibly helpful with helping me try it on and make sure it was perfect. I love my wedding dress and it's all thanks to Prados!

    We had such a great experience at Prado starting from the moment we shopped for my wedding dress to my final fitting. They were extremely helpful and very flexible with my scheduling. They were able to help me find the dress of my dreams and even my accessories. They carry gorgeous and unique dresses any bride will love!

    I had a beach wedding and needed a more low key style dress. They set me up with the most perfect dress, it was gorgeous, and I felt more beautiful than I ever have before! I bought the "Angelina Jolie" dress, as they called it :)
    The staff is so friendly and helpful, I always felt welcomed and taken care of.

    Made my appointment the day before, after I had previously visited the year before looking for a cocktail dress. I decided to go back because of the delightful staff. They have a guy that is like Randy off of Say Yes to the Dress. Absolutely wonderful. Mr. Prado himself shared a few stories with us and we always enjoy spending our money somewhere that the people truly value your business and these people do! Thank you for making me look beautiful on my wedding day.

    I went in looking for a simple dress to wear for my Jamaican destination wedding. A gentleman greeted us at the door and pointed us in the direction for the more simple dresses. I didn't find a dress that I wanted, so he told me to wait a second and started pulling dresses for me to try on. He helped me with zippers, etc, and after about 10 dresses, I found the perfect one! It was actually a prom dress in black, but they ordered it in white for me and took my measurements. I was visiting family and live in another state, so they were great and shipped my dress to me. They even called me when it came into the store to let me know they received it and were shipping it to me. It was perfect!

    They ordered the wrong dress the first time. But once they realized it they got the right one there in less than 2 weeks.. Which was good because the wrong one took 2 months! They were very nice and polite about the situation and handled it well!

    I have purchased my dresses from this business since I was in high school. The owners and employees have always been kind and courteous to me and my family. They helped me find my dream dress and alterations were perfect! The dresses are a little pricey but they have the best selection of upscale wedding gowns in Chattanooga.

    Most of their wedding gowns are not in larger sizes to try on.

    They had beautiful dresses. The owner was kind of rude sometimes though. They will not let you see your dress if you do not make an appointment. Even after its paid for and even when there is nobody else shopping in their store, and they keep the dresses in the back after you purchase them. It just seemed rude and like they didn't care to make you happy.

    They are good until they get your deposit. The first time I went into the store, I was greeted and assisted quickly. I ordered my dress that day. When I went for my first fitting, they wanted the final payment before I even saw my dress. Not only that, the tone was very rude. The dress needed minor alterations and they really pushed for me to use their seamstress. I decided that I would use her. When I went in to pick up the dress when it came from the seamstress, I was told there was no need to try the dress on and was rushed out the door. They were very rude! I came home to find the seamstress work was terrible!!!! Thankfully, I found a seamstress that works for Davids Bridal who does work on the side, she was a life saver! She fixed what the original seamstress had messed up plus did another alteration and charged half the price of Prado. I will never do business with them again!

    I paid for my dress, slip and veil up in full before the dress was ordered. The dress was an entire month late, and my veil didn't arrive until less than a week before my out of town wedding. They were very unbothered by this. I guess since they had all of their money up front.

    Not fun. The customer service from the owner is terrible, he has an over-inflated ego and acts as if he is God's gift to wedding dresses. I had an August wedding but ordered my dress in November because from May through July I work 80+ hours a week and wanted to have it in and all but my final fitting done before then, which we explained when we put down the deposit. By February my dress still hadn't come in and I was told it wouldn't be in until June. It finally arrived at the end of May and I was able to go up for my first fitting at which I was told the seamstress would be. She wasn't. It needed to be taken in in several places and the owner placed a few pins and said between that and the measurements they had taken back in November, it would be perfect. I scheduled my final fitting for early Jul. About 2 weeks before the fitting, it was discovered that the pins and measurements had been lost, or something. It wasn't very clear. I was assured that when I came in for my final fitting, all would be made right and that they would hand deliver it to me if necessary as it was my last chance to get to Chattanooga before heading to FL for my wedding. When I got there and tried on the dress, it had all of a sudden shrunk several sizes and was way too tight in the bust, even though I had been told the bust had only been taken in ever so slightly. When I brought this up, the seamstress (the owner's wife) said that didn't sound right and we hadn't heard that from them. Then she proceeded to argue with me that my bust must have grown (I had lost 6 lbs) and that I was 1.5" bigger than my measurements (which I was told were lost). I had my single bridezilla moment and apologized for forgetting I'd had a boob job the day before and please just fix it! In the end, my MIL picked it up and brought it to me, it fit (they forgot the corset lace and I had to use military paracord) and it was gorgeous, but OMG what a nightmare!! They have a good selection, the end.

    DO NOT SHOP HERE! Terrible customer service. Dresses are priced high but are cheap quality. Not many wedding dresses (mostly Prom dresses) Very gaudy dresses. Store is dingy and dark. Heard staff complaining due to them always being short-staffed. Mr. Prado is extremely rude. In general, a terrible experience.
