I bought my dress there in December!  I bought the dress for $100 less at Edith's than I would have paid for it at Amelishan in Hubertus.  Edith's does not allow you to take pictures before you buy and they rip the tags.  HOWEVER, if you do a little work before hand, you might be able to figure out the designers ahead of time.  They have a ton of dresses posted on their website and they do have the designer names on the website.  The other thing I would suggest  is that if you see something on the website, e-mail them and ask them if they have it in the store.  I had a good experience at my appointment and would recommend them in a heartbeat.  And holy cow, they have a TON of bridesmaids dresses!

I have heard a few horror stories about the purchasing phase but I've seen first hand how bad their alterations are! If you purchase from Edith's have someone else do alterations. They charge waaay more than other places and their work looks unfinished. At my friend's wedding one of the bridesmaids dresses were fraying all around the bottom. It looked horrible.

I bought my dress here in October and all of my girls got their dresses there. I would say purchase the dress from there and take it elsewhere for alternations. The customer service in the Bridal department was great.

I looked at dresses there a couple weeks ago.  They have a really great selection, but I never actually got a consultant to work with me - even though I made an appointment.  Instead of a consultant, I got a woman who works at the desk.  She was very nice, but couldn't answer many of my questions.  I did not purchase anything.

I went there to try on dresses and had the most HORRIBLE experiance. The ladies were rude, they didn't listen to what I was sugesting about dress types. She even gor my hair caught in the hook of a dress and just yanked it out! 

I told her that I felt like i need a dress that is well fit on teh top and then comes out at the waiste and she actually said "You don't NEED that, you just WANT it" in a very snippy way like I was being an inconvinace to her! 

I am not usually the person to say I will neve go back to a place based on one bad experiance but I talked to 3 ladies and every single one of them treated me the same. Not to mention that there were 3 of them I couldn't even get one ladie with for the whole apointment. 

Being from the Fond du Lac area I hear a lot about ediths and it is usually bad. I would not suggest it.
