The first thing I did when I got engaged was go out and go dress shopping, I was so excited. I first went to David's Bridal and tried on several dresses but nothing made me feel perfect like a wedding dress should. So the next day I decided to go to Gracie's bridal to try on dresses. My experience while trying on dresses was possitive, I found the perfect dress and veil.
I bought my dress that day and was told that my dress would be in January 2009 and at the time it was October, 2008; this was great just enough time for me to get the dress in and then get alterations before my wedding in June. Which they do not do :( It is now mid March 2009 and my dress is still not in, each time I have called to check on my dress which has only been twice the owner was VERY RUDE and not understanding of the fact that my wedding is in June 2009 and I still need alterations and my dress is still not in.
At this point I am concerned that my dress will not come in and without the dress the wedding is obviously not complete. What should have been a perfect experience has turned into a nightmare. If I could go back I would have bought my dress with Davids Bridal, my fiend got her dress from there in January and she already has her dress, Gracie's cannot compare to this.
I cannot express how disappointed I am with my experiece at Gracie's, I would never recommend them. For those that are looking to buy their dress there I wouldn't recommend it but if you must I would say that you should order your dress 9 months before the wedding and hope that your money wasn't stolen and it comes in, because I feel that I have been robbed from. They still have my money and I don't have my dress. DON'T BUY FROM THEM.
