Party Dress Express?

Has anyone ever been to party dress express in Fall River, MA? I have fallen in love with a dress and it is only $850 at party dress express, but at other local boutiques, the dress is between $1,100-$1,200. Party Dress Express also includes free alterations. I was just wondering if anyone had ever purchased their dress from Party Dress Express and if their alterations are worth it or not?

    I have purchased bridal party dresses there in the past and had them alter the dresses on-site.  I was always pleased with the service and the quality of the work but the alterations were much simpler than what may need to be done to a bridal gown.

    I purchased my prom dress as well as other evening formals from there in the past with no issues. Prices are fairly reasonable for the designers they carry. Definitely no complaints especially with the alterations.

    My future MIL got her dress there.  It was much cheaper and she has been very happy with the service so far.  Her alterations will be done in a few weeks so we will see!

    My gown, MOH, MOB and FG dresses have all been ordered through Party Dress Express.  The girls there have been super helpful thus far and the prices are great. 

    I'm confident the alterations will be precise, as all my (and sisters) prom dresses and such were purchased and altered there.

    Thank you all so much! I feel a lot better after reading reviews online and hearing your input! The fact that it was such a great deal just seemed too good to be true at first! I think I will get my dress there, it will save me hundreds!

    I loved Party Dress Express.  I got all my prom dresses from them and was thinking about going there for a rehearsal dinner dress (ended up finding something really special online, believe it or not!).  I had lovely experiences with them and they had a high-end selection that could be ordered.  I was definitely planning on heading back there if it hadn't been for my own self-imposed time crunch!

    Just an added thought, I think you can choose to take 20% off the dress if you want to have your alterations done elsewhere.

    Cosmo, I didn't know that was an option! While I don't have any other place in mind for alterations, but I live about an hour away from PDE, so it's definitely something to consider! Thanks!

     I LOVE them! My family has gone there for years for special occasion dresses (wedding dresses, bridesmaids, etc.) The service is great and there always helpfull. My bridesmaids and I went there for there dresses and honestly I would have gotten my wedding dress there if they had carried the one I fell in love with. Def. worth the drive :)

    I'm a little late to chime in but I just placed my order with them on Tuesday for my wedding gown. I was in need of a plus size gown and they did have quite a few to try on and sooooo many more in regular sizes. My sales lady Clara was so sweet, she adopted me and was my "grandma" for the day. I went there on a friday night about 2 hours before they closed and Clara and I whipped through a bunch of dresses until we narrowed it down to 2, I brought my mother back with me on Sunday to show her the ones I was considering and put down my deposit that day!

    The next day the ordering dept called me because the size I was looking for wasn't going to be in until 2 weeks before my wedding, even with a rush cut! Yikes!!! I could order the next size down and it would arrive in 3 weeks! I was nervous but before they even called me they had alterations look at the sample and determine what could be done and consulted with Clara who had helped me previously and they felt I would be ok if I went a size down and gave me all the options for what we could do if the dress ends up being too small. They really went above and beyond because my sales lady knew how in love with this dress I was and that my wedding is only 4 months away!

    So far I have had an absolutely awesome experience with this store!!
