Kleinfelds?

  I honestly don't know much about Kleinfleds except from what I've seen on SYTTD, but I don't get the impression that they cater to the "$1200 budget, size 16 bride."  $5k and a size 6 she'd be their perfect customer.

  
  

  I hope that didn't come out mean, and I hope I'm wrong, but I'd hate for the experience to be a frustrating, disappointing one.

  at $1500 she is going to be very limited in Kleinfield - even if she was a size 4. Check the selection online at that price point before making the trip to NYC

  
  

  I had originally wanted to go to Klienfield as well but found my dream dress at Stylish Impressions at Farmington CT after checking a few other stores in the area and I'm so glad that I went to a smaller bridal boutique. We were able to get everyone in the bridal party outfitted and get really personalized service.

  If you are going into the city and Kleinfeld's doesn't work there's another place in the garment district called RK Bridal.  Two of my friends got their dresses there.  I went with one of them and tried on a few dresses myself.  I didn't buy there because my mom wasn't with me and I didn't want to buy a dress in NYC because I didn't want to travel back and forth with it.  If you are going I would suggest going during the week.  They have a huge selection to choose from.

  I got my dress at Kleinfelds and had a wonderful experience.  I went on a Sunday, so it was very busy, but once our appointment started it didn't feel quite so crowded outside the lobby.  The lower budget does limit things.  My budget was $2000, and I felt very limited, but ended up trying on a few a little over, and got mine for $2600.  For me going over was worth it as I absolutely love my dress, but if it's important for your friend to stick to her budget, Kleinfelds might lead to more trouble then it's worth.

  I've heard that you should have a minimum budget of $1500 if thinking of going there, and that even that will be VERY limited.  They do have bigger size dresses though.  I hope your friend finds what she is looking for!

  I found my dream wedding dress at Kleinfelds blow out sample sale. I had gone to a sample sale of theirs a month earlier and the experience was worth it. They found the perfect dress for me and I went back a month later to get my plus size dress in perfect condition for about $1000. I am sure that I am a unique case due to my planning method and lots of prayer. Just saying, the experience was worth it. ...

  I got my dress at Kleinfeld's and had a very positive experience. It was busy, (like PP I had a Sunday appointment), but once I got into the dressing room and looking at the racks it was fine.
  
  I am so happy with what I purchased there and my dress was under $2400.

  Bring her to the pronovias flagship store!  So many dresses and I think they have all of them in plus samples.  It's a gorgeous store.

  I didn't like it.  Weekends are super crazy and everything was way expensive for me.

  J.Crew has a bridal store on Madison Avenue. I know their dresses are pretty reasonable.
