Eva's of Oak Lawn or Wolsfelts Victorian Bridal???

nicoleann87

Has anyone bought their dress from Eva's of Oak Lawn, Wolsfelts Victorian Bridal or White Carriage Bridal?? I am looking at making appointments at these places, but wanted to get feedback on anyone's experiences there!  Or if you have any other suggestions! Thank you in advance

My sister got her dress at Evas in Oak Lawn for her wedding last November, and I looked there for my dress for my wedding THIS November.

They are pretty nice, and have a decent selection.  They assign you a sales rep/attendant who helps you in and out of the dresses etc, which is nice.  They are a little bit more personal then I found Davids Bridal and House of Brides (where I ended up getting my dress).

I will say though that I didnt think they budged enough price wise when it came down to negotiations, and I did ge at a shady vibe from the lady who helped me, (the lady who helped my sister was great)

I was at Eva's of Oak Lawn last weekend.  The store was dirty and many dresses I tried on had a ring of filth at the bottem.  I had gone the previous weekend and met with Laura at House of Brides in Orland where I thought I had found *The Dress*  After trying on a couple of dresses at Eva I was even more certain that the other dress was the dress for me.  I told my consultant this (in an effort to be honest and not waste her time).  She asked about this other dress and said Eva's would beat their price.  She countered $200 lower than House of Brides.  I told her I had 1 more appointment (David's in Orland Park) and would have to come back.  The consultant then became VERY pushy and told me that the quoted price would not be honored if I were to leave the store.  At that point I walked. 

I'm glad i did not bow to the pressure and purchase a dress that day because I found a dress that i loved even more (I didn't think that was possible) at David's Bridal in Orland Park.  My consultant was Ebonique and she could not have been more wonderful.

The cliff notes: If you're already driving to Oak Lawn do another 20 minutes and check out Laura at House of Brides and Ebonique at David's Bridal.

agreed, don't listen to that FutureSarahPalin chick, its kinda ironic that all of her posts slam Eva's bridal --- oh but you MUSt make sure to go to here comes the bride in addison.... a little too coincidental....

Eva's of Oak Lawn is just fine...  a lot of brides have gotten their dresses there, no problem!  Ive gotten several bridesmaid dresses there -- no problems.
