Just had to give a shout out to Hopes Bridal in Atkins! I went there on a whim and was expceting what I always found, the same dresses in standard sample sizes of 6-10, the ones I can't fit into. Boy was I wrong! They had over 500+ wedding dress upstairs and while they did carry over some styles in different sizes, I didn't see the same dresses I had seen every where else. The selection was amazing and the variety of styles and designers, in sizes ranging from 2-24 to try on!, was all over the place and they had something for every bride. They also had dresses that I hadn't seen at other bridal salons which I loved. From super formal ball gowns, to coture, informal and everything in between. Not only did I find like 10 dresses to try on in my size 12-14, but I found my dress! It is one I had wanted to try but couldnt find in Waterloo/Cedar Falls.
The service at Hopes was above par and they took the time to get to know you and what you are looking for and your wedding style. I suggest the drive ladies, it is WORTH IT!!
