Purchasing bridesmaid dresses

I am really frustrated with finding a store to purchase my bridesmaid dresses.  The dress we decided on is from designer Jasmine, part of the B2 collection.

There are several stores in my area that sell the dress.  Every review I have read about the stores are horrible.  I am looking for some advice about the following stores....I know that people are going to make reviews when the service is horrible.  Has anyone had good experience with any of the following stores?

Eva's Bridal in Oak Lawn
Eva's Bridal in Orland (the two stores are not affiliated)
Bridal Mansion in Lisle
That Girl Boutique in Worth
Francia Bridal in Hinsdale

I would appreciate any help!!

    you could always go to one of these places to try them on and then order them online from a reputable website like netbride.com...

    I don't have a lot of input here, but I can tell you that Eva's in Oak Lawn is (IMO) way better than Eva's Orland.  I purchased my bm dress for a friend's wedding at Eva's Oak Lawn, and they were great!

    I ordered our BM dresses from NetBride after all the girls had tried on their dresses at stores. It was a fantastic experience and I'd be happy to share the details with you if you want. Cliff Notes - it was cheaper, quicker, and easier than going through any bridal store.

    One thing to keep in mind is that people post reviews of stores etc. when they are not satisfied with the product/service/whatever...Unless you have spoken with someone about their opinion. I know it's hard to make that final decision when it comes time.

    Personally, I went with HOB in Schaumburg to get my dress against my better judgment. I am not having the best experience with them. However, I had great experiences with other bridal shops that others hated.

    You really have to go and see for yourself to make that decision, unfortunately. You may get a great sales person and be surprised.
