    Cameo and Cufflinks has a pretty good selectionAnd the Bridal Center in the south used to be pretty good as well, although I've heard their prices can be a bit high.  Actually, that probably goes for Cameo and Cufflinks too.  Good places to have a great selection to try on though.

    Thank you!!!! I made an appt. at Cameo & Cufflinks but the Bridal Centre was already booked. They will call me though if they get a cancellation. I went online to both of their websites and they look like really nice stores. Thanks again for the suggestions!

    If you're coming back to Calgary again, I suggest and HIGHLY recommend Blissful Bride.  My gf got her dress there and the staff is AMAZING!  Very knowledgeable, very personable, and just all around sweethearts!Good luck!

    I had no luck at any of the shops in Calgary.  They were all way over priced and I found the service to be horrible. I was in Ethos on 17th Ave for over an hour and didn't get any service.  Went to Cameo and Cuffllinks and was scared away by the prices. The Bridal Centre was alright for trying on Bridesmaid dresses, but I ended up finding the same dresses at another store for about $100 less. I ended up going to Lethbridge and found my dress right away! It was a Maggie Sottero. I went to Bella Fiore and had AMAZING service, price was great and the seamstress is the owner of this shop and Once Upon a Bride, which is 2 stores down from Bella Fiore.  If you get sick of the crappy service in Calgary, the 2 hours drive to Lethbridge is worth it!

    I went to almost every dress store in Calgary over the period of 3 days lol. I found my dress @ Ethos. I loved the service there. They allowed us to look through everything & let the girls & my mom I brought with me help out @ all possible. Some I went to didn't even let us look through the dresses, they just picked out things based on what they thought I would like

    I bought mine at Beautiful Bride (Glenmore and McLeod near spence diamonds)
    I went to
    - Cameo & Cufflinks (good selection)
    - Bridal Centre (great service)
    - Ethos (never again. They wouldn't let me try on anything that wasn't in my size)
    - Beautiful Bride (great service, smaller selection)
