I went with my future sister in law to Kay's Bridal to try on dresses yesterday. We walked in and were immediately helped by Vicky. She showed us all the sample sizes that my FSIL could try on. My FSIL is a size 16 and they had 15 gowns to try on it that size. She ended up trying on one of their discontinued styles and fell in love with it. She purchased the gown for $540! That was 50% off the retail cost. They were very excited to sell one of their sample gowns. The samples were in pretty good condition too. They obviously take good care of their samples.

The only complaints I really have is that there were no sizes over an 18 and they only have like 4 of the 18's. If my FSIL had not just lost weight we wouldn't have been able to shop here. Also, they charge $25 for a bag to put the dress in and $50 to store the dress, which I thought was lame since those bags are $5.00 wholesale to buy. Their alterations seemed a little high. It was $160 for a basic hem.

Overall it was a good experience. Definitely go try on some of their sample gowns if you're on a budget!
