Davids Bridal

At first I had an awsome experience but when it came time for the alteration it was a nightmare... I drove all the way from Spokane to Tacoma because that's where my family and the wedding was... I was very early like I alway am... They opened the doors late and then they put me in a dressing room so I could try on and buy a bra. I found what I needed and asked what to do next... they said just wait here. I was waiting around in the back for over a half an hour so I finally asked someone what they wanted me to do... They said well before we can start the fitting you need to pay for your bra... I couldn't wait and pay for it with the alterations.. They made we walk up to the front to pay with my way to big dress on... It was a pain... then I proceed to wait... Remember I was over 30 mins early. By now it was 30 mins passed my apt time... I asked again am I supposed to do anything else or just wait here they said let me get someone for you... Finally I made it to alteration where they procceed to tell me I was late and they didn't have time to do everyting... I made them do the hole thing because I wasn't late... it took 1 and 1/2 hours to pin everything so I assumed it would fit perfect... No when I can make they missed a hole layer in my bustle and it was like they never even altered the top... I had to get refitted and come back on labor day weekend to get my dress... the second time it fit great but I really don't think it should have taken that much. O ya they tried to charge me for the second fitting.The bridesmaid dresses were awesome and in the end my dress was perfect, just took alot to get there.

I loved my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses and all the sizes were correct. The reason I give Davids Bridal such a low rating is because the customer service is horrible. I just wanted my bridesmaids to be able to try on dresses and there is not one person only helping you, there is one person helping like 5 to 10 other people depending on how busy they are that day. The manager there is really not respectful at all, and so everyone knows they will not take returns at all. I love their dresses but their service really needs to change.

Beautiful dress! Poor management..I felt I was being rushed..very stressful!

Only went to them because they had the dress I wanted. They were by far the worst place I have ever been to! First off, when I had my fitting one of the workers had the audasity to ask me to leave with my baby because she was crying. Then after all of the dresses were steamed I picked them up and they only had 2 of the 4 bridesmaids dresses and couldn't find the other 2 because they were under another name. Got home to find they gave me someone elses dress. Went to return that dress and get my other 2 and stood at the front desk only to have the lady ignore me standing there and walk away. I was in tears and yelled at these women because they have no care in the world about the customers!

The folks at David's Bridal were very friendly. They are always there to greet you at the door and get you set up with what you need. Sometime's it's a bit much when you just want to go and browse, but friendly nonetheless.

Well I can say I had better times at this place with friends getting married. The two ladies Ivy and Ashely where great there. Also the 2 manger that have the same name but can't think of it at this moment. I know one of them left already though. I was a bit stress b/c this store didn't have my dress and it got shipped form another store but it took over 3 weeks to get to them. They advise me it would only take about 10 days. I live about a hour away form this store so its hecked to get down there and do appointment when they allow had them at 7pm or 12pm. As far as me picking out my dress that experience was great. I just felt that store needs alot of help. There the only store near the kitsap area and they are to over work and so they fill like they are in a rush. You can't be in a rush to make a young lady pick out a dress. Once they figure that out I believe it will be a great store.

The only reason I went here was because I had viewed a dress online and feel in LOVE with it! I wouldnt recommend going here if you have time to look around! I made an appointment, which they don't say you will be sharing that with 3 other girls!?! I had to flag the sales lady down if I was ready for a new dress!! Once you have paid for the dress they could care less about ya!

David's Bridal was great to use for the wedding. I was very impressed with their selection and the many styles I was able to try on. However the staff was not as dedicated as I expected and frequently forgot about me while I was trying look throughout the store. However, once I picked my dress I remember my sales rep being extremely nice and catered to my every detail. That goes for my alterations specialist as well. She was absolutely spectacular and made my dress everything I wanted and more. The Bridesmaid dresses were wonderful and fit my girls wonderfully. They also were expected to come in 12 weeks and arrived in 7 which was very helpful and convenient.

Everything went pretty well. The only thing was the alterations, but they made time to fix it.

Davids' wasn't my first chioce in a bridal gown, but it ended up being the best choice. I am a plus size woman and was a little disappointed in the selection of gowns they had for US. I had several choices picked out and printed for my appointment and was a little surprised to find that most selections were online only. i mean who wants to buy a wedding dress online. Well my dress was beautiful and the help was fine. David's just needs to step it up a notch on the plus size selections

My experience here was okay. I didn't have a great time picking out my dress because my consultant seemed preoccupied. Once my hour appointment was up, she left me by myself and I had to wait for help. I wasn't a demanding shopper- I only tried on 4 or 5 dresses. The alterations department completely made up for my dress buying experience. They were absolutely fantastic! One thing I didn't care for was when I went in on a Wednesday to pick out and purchase a veil (I didn't initially want one), the store seemed completely empty! Nobody helped me or my friend who went with me. They didn't even acknowledge us until we were headed out the door.

I thought David's Bridal was great for getting my wedding dress. I had already picked out my dress online before entering the store, but they still helped picked out a few others to try on and the staff was extremely friendly. The only negative remark I would have to say is that they overcharge for the services they do such as alterations, and jewelry/undergarments. Overall I would recommend David's Bridal.

I found the dress of my dreams and fell in love with it. They were very nice and full of good ideas for my wedding

I had my appt booked for 3 months before i came in to search for the dress. I had a consultant and she turned out to be pregnant. I had my entire family or women there with me and i know they were giving her a hardtime but she went with it. I tried on almost 30 dresses and finally found the dress that day after 8 painfull hours of looking for my dress. THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!

sara helped pick the right wedding dress for me and was very helpful when trying it out

Most the ladies who helped me were wonderful except one... The only thing i did not like is the estimate on when you will get your dresses they were way off

I was not happy at all with David's Bridal. When I went to get my dress, my "consultant" was helping three other brides and completly left me alone. thankfully I had a group of my friends who were there to help me. I had my dress altered there as well, and was completly upset. Not only did they make me wait around for 45 minutes while they added snaps that were supposed to be added on to begin with, they made my train to long when my bustle was done, and people were stepping on it all night and it eventually broke to the point where I had to carry it for the rest of the night. Not a heppy camper :(

I had a lackluster-to-bad experience at the David's Bridal in Southcenter, WA. I walked away from my experiences there saying I wouldn't go back & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone by chance they give someone else the same experience I had. I gave them 2 stars for quality of service as most of the staff is fine, and they have lots of dresses to choose from - they're a one stop bridal shop. I gave them 4 stars for responsiveness because when my mom finally had to demand - "It's Tuesday night - the wedding is on Sunday - and the wedding dress STILL doesn't fit right - we're not leaving until we can walk out of this store with a properly fitted gown!" - they got my dress altered and fitted properly within 2 hours. I gave them 2 stars for professionalism because some of the staff were great - others were horrible & demeaning. Value for cost - I gave them 1 star because of my beautiful Oleg Cassini dress that I got on sale for $650 (before tax) - but the alterations ended up costing over $800...please tell me on what planet it's OK for alterations to cost almost $200 more than the dress?! I gave them 3 stars for flexibility as some of the alterations didn't cost me anything because a few of the gals at the store gave me a break on costs for alterations when they heard how badly things had gone. In a nutshell, here is my story: I bought the dress, they took measurements & upon the first fitting - the dress was too small in the hips. They pinned and measured me again and at the next fitting the dress was so big I should shimmy out of it - the dress was pinned again. 4 days later at my 3rd fitting I could still shimmy out of the dress - this was the visit where my mom said we wouldn't leave without a properly fitting dress - my wedding day was 5 days away. ...Here is what I walked away with: I know the bridal industry charges a lot for it's products because they can and they know brides will pay for it - we want a beautiful, memorable wedding. Most of us will skimp where we can to save money (especially in these tough economic times) and stick to a budget - but when a store like David's Bridal knows they have you over a barrel - they will suck you dry! Once I realized that my experience at David's Bridal wasn't going to be good (after the 2nd fitting) - I had already bought my dress and I didn't have enough money to buy another dress at a different store. To make matters worse, I was repeatedly blamed for the dress not fitting properly - they never took responsibility that MAYBE their alterations department messed up or the notes on my order slip weren't 100% correct. They told me at each fitting that I had either gained weight or lost weight...I know neither occurred - I had a few doctors visits with a weight check at the clinic noting that I hadn't gained or lost any weight over the 5 months I dealt with David's Bridal. Besides - how does one lose enough weight to shimmy out of a dress in 4 DAYS?! Incredulous. If you know what's good for you - you won't go to David's Bridal - at least for your alterations.

Average experience. Dress was good price but of average quality.

They are very helpful.

I loved my dress that I got from Davids Bridal, but the service and alterations were just bad. I ended up having to get my dress re-altered, and it was extreemly overpriced for the alterations at David's Bridal. I would recommend buying a dress there, but that is it!

I was very pleased with my experience at the Tacoma DB. My consultant Stephanie was awsome. She was very helpful. I had a certain dress in mind and when that wasnt all I had hoped it to be she helped me find an even better dress. It was perfect in style and color accents. I choose not to have alterations onsite though, they were very over priced.

I went to several different david's bridals. They have great dresses and great prices but those who help with the dresses are not all professional and customer aware. I would use them again and have used them for several bridesmaids outfits before. Good prices are the best part david's bridal.

I was very disappointed in the service I received at Davids Bridal. It started out promising... I was a walk in without an appointment and they got me in right away (perhaps that should have been a sign). As soon as I sat down to look at the catalog I found something I liked and told the woman helping me... she responded with "oh no, you don't want that, thats too plain and boring... you want more glitter and sparkles!" before I could respond she ran off to do something. I sat there stunned and felt very insulted. I couldn't really figure out what I wanted from the catalog so we wondered around and she acted very disappointed and upset with the dresses I liked. She certainly wasn't trying to hide here true feelings. When I was trying dresses on she kept pushing more color. I said no I didn't want color. "oh you want a colored sash or a dress with a little more color... I'll get one, what color do you want?" I said no thank you and she kept pushing so I finally gave in. Then when I went to change in the dressing room with her help some little boy that was running around came and opened my door! The woman didn't do anything to stop him or prevent it from happening again, she just made some snide comment about how children shouldn't be brought along (my future sister inlaw and her son were there with me so that was a little insulting as well). Of course I got dressed right away said thank you and left. I was so disappointed and insulted by that place. Just make sure you get a professional if you decide to go. I'm sure I would have been fine with my experience had I not been embarrassed and insulted the one time I went. :)

I got my dress at a different place but decided to come here for my bridesmaids dresses. I lliked the place so much i went back for my veil. Then went back for flowergirl dresses. That went back for accessories.

They were very nice and courteous. My brides maids got their dresses here and none of them had any complaints. They were also very nice in one aspect. I had two brides maids from out of state and they couldn't get the complementary steaming done in their state and then bring it up for my wedding, David's originally said that they needed a week to get the steaming done but we only had one day! They heard our situation and steamed the dresses that day at no cost! Very much appreciated!

Everyone on staff was very friendly, helpful and supportive. The alterations done on my gown were flawless and FAST.

A great experience and the dress was on sale for $99. The alterations done there were also reasonably priced and the dress was amazing! Accessories are expensive here though. Don't recommend buying them here.

I had such a hard time with these people, after the consultant spend 2 hours with me picking out bridesmaid dresses only when i finally decided on a dress did she tell me that it was being discontinued and she knew the whole time that I wanted that dress. All of my girls dresses fit in the store and when they got them they we all to big, and not by a little either they are trying to make money on alterations, i was also told that one dress ordered 4 months before would not be there till 2 days before my wedding then a dress ordered 1 month before got there in 4 days now why the hell is a dress order 4 months prior getting there after a dress ordered 1 month prior ( they we all ordered from the same stor)

They may be a little cheaper than other bridal boutiques, but not worth the hassle at all. Dispite being rude, they ruined my dress when I brought it in to get spot cleaned and pressed (a free service they provide with the purchase of the dress, which they try really hard to get out of doing after the "all sales are final" purchase). I almost did not have a dress to wear on my wedding day because of them.

The only way I would ding this business is the cost for alterations. They charged way too much, so I took it to a local seamstress who charged half the cost and she specialized in wedding dresses. They are great for finding a dress for a reasonable cost, but since it will most likely not fit you, call around to local businesses. I got good attention when selecting my dress, they get orders in reasonable time (however, don't expect expedited service, order well ahead of time since they are a large chain), and I got a lot of good attention from my consultant. Most consultants they have there are good, there was one problem one, but I think they addresses her attitude since I never had another bad experience.

Great selection and customization options. Service is a little cookie-cutter in that you don't feel special and you know that they are working for commission, but they were extra helpful when I had to exchange a dress for a different size less than one month to the big day. All in all, I would recommend.

I knew I would be getting my dresses at David's Bridal. I had looked through their catalogs months before I even got engaged. I loved the dresses that much. Being that I was planning our wedding 10 months ahead of time, it was hard to pick the dress that would be available for that season. It was great to have the help of the Associates and Managers at the Tacoma Davids Bridal. They kept me on track with stock, sizes, discontinued items, clearance items, appointments, alterations and everything in between. I really appreciate that they went out of their way to rush items and keep me aware of what was going on. Thank you!

Davids Bridal was fantastic. They worked within my budget and helped with finding gifts for our wedding party! They were great!

I went back and forth between a couple vendors. The manager found me a dress that they had just gotten in and I absolutely loved it, so I went with them. The manager was great, however, the other ladies that did the fittings and worked with us on bridesmaids dresses were not fun to work with at all. Unfortunately, if you're on a budget, there aren't too many other places to go. I couldn't get colors I wanted for my spring wedding because they didn't release their spring colors/styles until after the deadline they set for ordering for an on time delivery. It was horrible to see all the colors and styles I had dreamed of come in 2 weeks after they had made me place an order. Several of the ladies were quite rude during the fittings and with my bridesmaids. One of them would get distracted and talk with another worker for long periods of time making us wait or go find her every time we had a question. The zipper quality is not that great on the dresses....make sure you have a sewing kit and safety pins on your wedding day if any of the dresses are a bit snug. In my wedding and 3 of my best friends, we've had a least one zipper line pop without the dress being "that" tight. overall, it worked out. We got beautiful dresses and the price was pretty unbeatable, but not the best experience ever.

They sent the invitation ahead of time and there were no errors, Loved them convinient to order on line

I bought both my dress and four bridesmaid dresses. My bridesmaids were all fitted for the wrong size so they had to come in at another date to be resized. When their dresses came in they were all wrinkeled and my maid of honor dress had a snag down the front of the skirt. My dress did not need any alterations but I did have to pay to have the bussell done. I saw the one alterations lady when I dropped it off and we decided how it would be busselled. When I came to pick it up I saw two different girls that clearly had no idea how it was supposed to be busselled. It was also supposed to be my final fitting and prior to me picking it up it was supposed to have a bead check done and be pressed. The train was all wrinkeled and when I asked why wasnt it pressed they told me it was and that it had been hanging up pressed between a bunch of other dresses and that just happens! Then they told me I would need to go buy a steamer to keep the wrinkels out!! When I told them this was unexceptable they then told me I would need to keep it out of the bag and lay it out. When it was layed out the buttons they used for the bussell and un bussell would come apart by themselves so I took the dress back and they put on stronger buttons for the unbussell but didnt check the bussell part so when it came time for my reception, I could not bussell my dress even though I had paid for it!!

I was able to find a dress that fit perfectly and was on a great sale, it worked out perfectly. Of course, I couldn't return it if anything happened or it didn't fit later or anything, but I didn't need to so that was fine. They made sure it fit right and pressed it before the wedding day which was nice!

Although we purchased beautiful gowns at the local Davids Bridal, I was not impressed with the professionalism of the staff. We waited for almost 20 minutes before anybody in the store acknowledged us!

I loved my dress and the dresses I picked out for my girls, but when my maid of honor lost two twin boys at 6 months pregnant one month before my wedding they were not very nice about getting a different dress.

The dress attendant that waited on me would leave me for 15 minutes at a time after I would try on a dress. Pretty much you know within 2-5 if you like the dress or not and I was frequently just standing around waiting for someone to help me in and out of my dress. If that last dress didn't look just right, I was ready to storm out.

I love the dress I wore! And it was very affordable.

Having been married for more than a year, I still look back at such wonderful a ceremony and I can honestly say that David's Bridal is the only way to go when it comes to Wedding services. Not only did they make our wedding day a pleasure, they worked to make our dreams come true.

I was not pleased to purchase my dress at David's Bridal. The only thing that was good about purchasing my dress from there was the price. We had put my dress on lay away, and they were having a sale at the time. Before we put the dress on lay away, the person who was helping us said we could get still get the dress on sale when we paid in full in 2 months. When we came back to pay the dress in full 2 months later, the same sales rep. said we couldn't get the dress on sale. She told us that my Mom couldn't understand English and she was mistaken (my Mom is an immigrant, but she speaks English very well and is a teacher). My Mom told off the sales rep. because she was very offended and asked to speak with the store manager. When the store manager arrived on the scene, she was not helpful at all and said she couldn't do anything about our situation. My Mother-in-law ended up calling the Regional Manager about our situation, and she was very apologetic and gave us our discount. I wouldn't recommend using David's Bridal, unless you are very straight forward with them and are willing to do anything to get a good price on your dress.

They were very helpful in me finding the perfect dress, it was a bit rushed from time to time but overall it was a positive experience.

David's Bridal did not have any short-sleeved dresses as I wanted, but the dress I bought there fit me almost perfectly right off the rack and looked simply stunning for my exact budget price of $300. But how they must make the big bucks is in the extras: $45 for a plain veil, $55 for the smallest petticoat, and $85 for a tiara. I would have liked to go home and consider those, but you only get the 10% discount if you buy those at the same time as the dress. Check around for the extras first (JoAnn's Fabrics is comparable in quality, but much cheaper), then go to David's for the dress.

I did not have a great experience here, but I found the perfect dress by chance so I got it. There seems to be a high turnover in staff so one time I'd get a really knowledgeable rep, and the next time I'd get someone who knew nothing about the dresses, their policies, or anything. If you don't have an appointment, it's a little tough to get anyone to help you. Also, they rotate their dresses a season early, so you really need to be diligent about keeping track of the dresses if you're looking for a specific, seasonal color. They couldn't tell me what dresses were going to be discontinued until they actually were. It worked out for me though, and my bridesmaids dresses were only $99 - catch was they all had to order within a day of finding out they were discontinued. Overall, if you can find a dress you love - the (possibly) crappy service is worth it.

I had a great experience here because I bought the second dress I tried on and didn't have to stay long. If I had to be here for more than an hour I may have given them fewer stars, but I was very lucky. Their alterations are a rip off but if you get them done somewhere else they will refuse the complimentary dress steaming before your wedding.

I went here mainly to save money. The service was adequate, the dress was okay, and the value was standard. This isn't the place to get that "dream" dress or experience, but for brides on a budget like me, it did just fine.

A great place to look for the dress of your dreams.
