Well, the dresses are beautiful and the staff was nice enough, which is the only reason that I'm giving a 2-star review instead of 1-star. Bridesmaid dresses cost $300-$350 on average (which is pricey, in my opinion) and bridal gowns cost $800-$900 (which is reasonable, in my opinion).
I am a bride to be, and went to the Jenny Yoo showroom to look for my wedding gown.
HOWEVER...
The wedding gowns are the same as the bridesmaid's gowns, just in white. The dress that I fell in love with is $375 for a color and $825 in white. From what I could tell, there was no discernible difference besides the color, nothing to explain the $450 price increase.
When I inquired about the price increase, I got this response:
"Our bridal dresses are made on a separate individual line than our bridesmaid dresses. Our bridal collection requires an additional layer to the dress to ensure that you can not see through the fabric. Chiffon especially being a lighter fabric requires the additional layer to the dress. The Bridesmaid version of the dress we do not do in a white. The Bridal dress is priced higher due to the extra labor and construction involved."
So, basically, that extra layer costs $450, when the ENTIRE DRESS in another color costs $375? I could stomach a $100 increase for an extra layer, but that's it.
Sorry, Jenny Yoo, but I call BS, and I won't be purchasing my dress from you. It just sounds like another example of ripping someone off because they're getting married.
(And just to clarify, it's not that $825 is out of my budget. I'm more bothered by the principle of the whole thing)
