    This is the stock photo of my DB dress. I didn't buy it there (got it New, but preowned for much, much less than it sells for). Last time I looked on the site it ws $699. The consultant didn't show me this dress when I went, though it was in my budget. Then again, I went in with 10-12 "favorites" from the website and the store had none of them. They try really hard to upsell, which I understand is their job, and they sell your info to everyone. They were very repectful of my budget, though. Experience really depends on the store and consultant. My first appointment I was just looking for styles to figure out what flattered me and the consultant was great and really helpful. The last time when I was really in the mood to buy, the consultant was frustrated because they had none of the dresses on my list and I apparently "didn't know what I want."

    I will add that if you are not opposed to shopping online, I tried on dresses from Azazie that were much better quality than any of the DB dresses I tried on and were less than $350. Plus, they include custom sizing.

    My DB dress that I have right now. I was the first one in the store to try it on and I loved it. It was $389 and I can almost fit into it again so this might be the dress I’ll wear for my elopement! I’ve been trying to sell it just in case.

    I was in the same boat! I was nervous going into Davids Bridal, thinking I'd not find anything because I had a smaller budget (didn't want to spend more than $800 max.) I definitely didn't think I'd have the moment where I cried or anything, and I didn't cry, but I definitely felt so happy and giddy and amazed that this is the dress I'll marry FH in!

    But, my experience was terrible, which isn't the case for everyone, but I honestly think its the store I went to. I've been back for a few reasons (bridesmaid in other weddings, my bridesmaids, etc.) and the people are so rude and standoff-ish.

    My bridal appointment was a disaster, there was no room for my mom and MIL to sit, and my sister had to help me because my consultant was MIA 50% of the time. When I told her my max budget was $800, she really didn't seem like she wanted to help me. She pulled dresses that were not my style or over my budget. She only pulled 2 dresses I had saved online. I left thinking I was getting a dress that I didn't love. I went online later that night to look at dresses and there were plenty of pretty dresses for under $500 even that I wanted to try, and I saw this dress as well.

    I went back with only my mom and found a dress I love! Its so simple and beautiful, was only $600, and I'm happy I didn't break the bank. Alterations are minimum because it fits so well, and honestly it's really me. I didn't want something over the top or flashy, and I could not imagine spending thousands on a dress.

    I didn't get my dress from DB, but did love one and seriously considered buying it. We went to two different DB and had vastly different experiences at each. So, if you go to one and aren't happy, I'd definitely check out a second one if it's not too far away (ours were about 30-40 minutes apart). We wound up buying bridesmaids dresses at DB and had a great experience with that too.

    I'm in love with my dress. I had a good experience at DB. I probably won't use them for alterations since I hear they can be pricey. I paid $485 for my dress including tax and the garment bag.


    Plus my dress has pockets (!!!!)

    And for the hell of it I'll post my runner-up dress. If it wasnt for the halter neckline this would have been the winner.

    You should check out Lulus.com
    I looked at David’s bridal and found some dresses I liked, but wasn’t I live with. I discovered Lulus has a wide selection of wedding dresses for a fraction of the price and I would say the quality is the same if not better than David’s bridal. I also love that they allow freas shipping and returns with in 30 days just in case. David’s bridal is final sale and I wanted the option to keep looking in case I found a dress I liked more.
    Here are my top two picks from Lulus. I have ordered both these dresses and recommend them.

    Do it girl or is so worth it. Just like you I was totally sceptical in buying mine there because I had already research the. If time designer like Allure Bridal and Mori Lee but my friend told me to try all my options so I was like what the heck I went there tried on about 10 dresses and I thought ya this isn’t going to work and just as I was giving up and about to go get dressed my consultant brought out the dress I fell in love with it before I even put it on and it was on sale I went out paying for the dress my vail and my alterations for 1300 and believe me I was planning on spending way more for a dress
    foond at the top bridal stores. David’s Bridal was amazing the people
    where great and yes the dress are cheaper but so worth it. And my bridesmaids and MOH found there dresses there too

    I haven't bought a dress from DB but I have had a great experience there so far. Had my 1st appointment on Monday and my consultant was amazing!
    I did find 2 dresses that I liked but I do want to try on a couple more. My next appointment is today and this time my sisters and my grandma are coming. My mom was the only one I wanted there last time.

    I’m in love with my dress.. can’t wait to wear it on June 16th. First time I went in I was unsure I would find my dress I put this one on and was in love!!! I went home and slept on it because it was my first time trying dresses on.. I went back with my mother and fmil and I knew this was my dress (insert tears).. I think I spent 1000 on mine (a little more than I had originally wanted to but I was in love and didn’t want to take it off)

    I believe this is it. Looks so different in person than online. The one I tried on was white, not ivory as well!

    But I should add that the women at DB were amazing and super, super sweet. So if anyone has a bad experience, it may just be the store. Smiley sad

    I bought my dress from David's. The shopping experience was okay, nothing special, but when I told the attendant what I wanted, she pulled dresses in that style. She just wasn't as good as some of the salon ladies.

    Ultimately though, I liked the David's dress best. I wouldn't get alterations done there though. I found a seamstress in my local FB wedding group. They told me at David's that I didn't need much done, just taking it in a bit at the bust. Then when I saw the private seamstress she showed me a few things that she could to to make the dress fit me much better and I'm glad I trusted her. She pointed out that my layered train wasn't going to stay lying flat and she fixed that, and the David's people never even mentioned that!

    I think my dress was one of the popular dresses this year... oh well. I love the hem lace so much. I paid $1200 CDN after tax. I think that's about $900 USD right now.

    I had a great experience at DB when I got my dress. Mine was on sale, but still was $1,700.

    Unfortunately, when I took my MOH and BM to look at dresses and put on and share my dress, my experience was horrible. Despite having told me I could put on my dress and show my girls, they wouldn’t allow me because they were running behind. ☹️ so I had to show them from the hanger.

    I would NOT go on a Fri-Sunday (that was when I took the BMs) it as PACKED and everyone brought their long lost family members with them. For my dress shopping we went on a Thursday afternoon. Only a couple other groups around and I was not rushed or pressured into making a decision (complete opposite from my other experience)

    I got mine from David's Bridal. The experience was great, lots of options in my price range. My sister helped me get in and out of every dress as the consultant was finishing up another appointment but it didn't bother me; they knew what they were doing and came when they needed to. I also got a veil and belt from there. The belt I got is the same color of the dress but same style as the picture. (Dont mind the smiley heads)

    I purchased my dress from David’s bridal, after having issues with alterations at a local boutique. I had this dress altered at David’s bridal as well, as I only had 3 weeks from the date it arrived to much wedding date. I had no issues or problems with DB alterations and LOVED how my dress came out.
