David's Bridal and Alterations
I would like to hear from brides who have bought gowns at David's and had dealt with having their alterations done at David's.
I found my dress there, and I love it. The size 14 was almost a perfect fit, so I am thinking the only thing that needs to be done is a bustle. Hopefully, beyond that, we won't have to have much in the way of alterations done.
I had a WONDERFUL experience with the David's I went to in Davenport, IA, and Joni, my consultant, was sweet, not pushy and extremely helpful. I
her.
What is terrifying to me is the alterations. I am terrified by stories I have heard about the alterations and special order process. I was thinking that I would be OCD about it and ask to talk to the person who would be doing my alterations and see examples of their work. The other option, I guess, would be to find someone else who does alterations whom I trust, and take it to that person.
Is that crazy? I don't want to be Bridezilla about it, but this is THE GOWN for me. Anyone out there have anything to share? I would appreciate it.

Re: David's Bridal and Alterations
The thing you have to keep in mind with David's is that it is a chain store and the quality of service you get will differ from store to store, so there really is no way of comparing them. I would post this on your local board to see if anyone has had their alterations done at the store you want to work with and go from there.

Married Bio
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

One of my bm has used them before ans said they were very expensive.. it cost her almost the cost of the dress to have a very minor alteration done.
