Dress Shopping in STL

Sooo...I live an hour away from STL and am going dress shopping next weekend.  I already have an appointment at Clarice's for early on in the day, but was thinking I might want to make an appointment somewhere else since I will have my mom, my MOH, and my 2 friends. Anyone have any recommendations as to where else to go? I was sorta thinking Robin's Bridal Mart, but haven't heard too much about it. I guess if I don't figure somewhere else to go, I will just go to David's Bridal or just skip the idea of another appointment. TIA!!

    I got my dress from Robin's. They let you just walk-in, so you don't need an appointment. Their prices are awesome - my dress was the cheapest there, like cheaper than buying it off a discount site online. I would say that it wasn't that experience where all their focus is on you - they were busy on a Saturday. But she pulled my dream dress off the rack with one description from me. So I'd say give it a try, but don't be let down if they are busy and you don't feel like a pampered bride.

    I loved Simply Elegant downtown.  They have a lot of exclusive dresses that you can't find anywhere else in St. Louis, including the dress I fell in love with and eventually wore.

    carrier, my dress was $618. I thought it would be well over $800 from the prices I saw online.

    I agree with previous posters. Got my dress from Simply Elegant and just did the first fitting. They are friendly and professional.  They have alot of unique dresses and various price ranges. I spent under $900 including taxes on my dress.

    Can't wait to wear it!!

    Congratulations!! Happy Planning!

    fam6- I worked with Cory also! She was VERY nice and helpful. I went to DB in St. Peters and the lady took my measurements but never put it in the system. I have decided to get my dress from Sunset Hills since they're thorough with their work.
