I want to make sure everyone knows the following pertains to the David’s Bridal in Metairie, LA only.
I went online and scheduled an appointment to try on wedding dresses. I had printed out a copy of the ones I liked online. When my mom and I got there we told the receptionist we had an appointment and she had me fill out a form with my information on it (which I had already filled out to make the appointment) I gave her my print out of the dresses I liked. She suggested that I get a mermaid style dress because I it would hide my stomach from having kids. NEWS FLASH!!! I don’t have any kids. I may not be a stick figure model but I am by no means overweight and even if I was, why would any sales person tell you this?!!!
She then gave us a booklet of dresses and told us to go look. She didn’t bother telling us if someone would be there soon to help us or explain how the dresses were arranged. At this point I was very confused. What was the point of making an appointment if they don’t help you find dresses? After about 20 minutes of walking around trying to find stuff that I liked a salesperson came up to me and said she was the person assigned to my appointment. I told her what kind of dress I wanted (one with not a lot of frills) and she told me they don’t carry many like that. I gave her my list of dresses I liked anyway and she said she would pull a few for me. Well another 15 minutes goes by and she is nowhere to be found so my mom and I just started pulling dresses on our own.
The saleswoman reappeared finally and gave us a dressing room and said she would be back in a bit to help me try them on. Well as you can guess she didn’t show back up. My mom helped me try them on and go pick different ones. We also tried getting other sales people to help us and they basically ignored us.
We were finally so fed up that we decided to leave but needed to find our sales woman first because she had my papers with the dresses I liked with her. When we found her she tried to say that we were not her appointment and pawn us off on another sales woman. The new sales lady asked for the appointment sheet but it had suddenly disappeared. After talking with the manager we found out that the original sales woman lied. She was in charge of our appointment.
I think that anyone going to the Metairie David’s Bridal should be aware that the sales people are very sketchy, rude and not helpful at all. I had planned on buying my wedding dress from them, bridesmaid dresses, and flower-girl dresses but not anymore!
