David's Bridal (Harrisburg, PA)

do NOt go to the HARRISBURG david's bridal if you want to be treated with dignity and respect. my mom and i were "waited" on by Dara who was horrible to us!!!!!!!!!!!!also, the store is run incompetently....i made an appt for bra fittings for my mom and myself. upon my arrival, i found out i was not in the schedule book or in the wrong spot. i was then taken and shown my dressing room and told my girl is blonde with blue shirt named DARA. my mom and i got distracted looking at shoes while we waited. my mom then sat in a row of 4 chair that had been empty for the 15 MINUTES that we looked at shoes. my mom was then approached by DARA who told her she could not sit there. i was not aware of any of it because i was on my cell phone at the time. i then went to get the girl up front and asked if i could look thru bras and wait on myself because i felt dara was too busy. the girl then brought me TO DARA. in meantime i found out there was a "bra room" that was "full" of all these bras and the girls had to get it for me. so after i was introduced to dara, i looked her in the eye and said, "i'm sorry you got double booked." she looked me directly back, cocked her head and said, (VERY MEANLY IN A VERY RUDE VOICE)"no, i didnt get double booked. i got triple booked!@" i then told her it was for my mom also and started to suggest we try them on at same time to save her time. SHE THEN SNAPPED AT ME AGAIN, SAYING, "lets just take care of YOU first THEN we'll take care of her!"
i once agian bit my tounge and did not react. tried mine on. decided right away. came out and told her which one i wanted. then when it came time to fit my mom, and DARA was forced to look more times than once to find a size, i noted that behind the curtain to the (BRA ROOM) i could see thru side that she was forced to getting down looking thru a box of bras and i could see that room was FULL of bras. the next choice she comes up with still does not fit and when i tell dara she tells me to put dress on with it/ so we do. when i brought my mom to dara she didnt remark that it didnt fit right even though there was visible evidence thru the dress that it didnt. even an idoit could see that. once dara walked away again, i tell my mom get dressed and we'll buy yours somewhere else. my sister had shown up randomly and found us and brought us to the girl that was waiting on her and treating her nice. so as i was across the room with my sister and the new girl, DARA finally decides to care enough to come and find out what i was doing. i then quietly told her that i will get my mom's bra elsewhere. still holding the bra and shawl i was gonna buy. however i went back to talking to my sister and watching her daughter try on dresses. when we were done with that, as i walked to the register to try and pay for my things, i passed by DARA and EVEN THANKED HER for HELPING ME!!!!!!!!!! i then stood at the register for another 20 MINUTES being ignored!!!! i then looked down at a $55 bra and the time which was 2 and a half hours from the time i had walked in!!! and decided i was ready to WALK OUT AND NEVER RETURN TO THAT STORE AGAIN...so i put the bra on a table and left with my mom, sister and niece. WITHOUT BUYING A SINGLE THING...TOO BAD CAUSE I GOT A DAVIDS BRIDAL CARD THAT I HAD ALREADY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR A DRESS FOR MYSELF, MY FLOWERGIRL, AND HAD PLANNED ON USING IT TO BUY ALL 5 OF MY BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES THERE...

We got the flower girl dresses from David's Bridal which were of great price and great quality. They looked adorable! I also got my purse there and some ballet slippers which proved to be irreplacable. :) However, due to the great prices and popularity I found David's to be rather crowded, literally elbow to elbow and pretty impersonal. I did also get the mother of the bride dress at David's (during the week and not during the weekend) and had a much better experience. We got more one on one attention, however, consultants are not nearly as experienced or knowledgable as Alfred Angelo. If you know what you want, this is a great place to get it! If you need a little help, you might want to start somewhere else.

Alterations:

Overall they do a wonderful job, a few of the bridesmaids has specifications on alterations that were not completely followed through with. A few of the alterations were a little uneven, however the situation was corrected

Bridal Gown:

They have a wonderful selection, many current styles and colors to choose from. A nice variety of dresses and prices ranges for everyone! The staff is friendly and will help you with your needs and being the go to people!

Bridesmaids Dresses:

The styles they have to choose from were great, and I was able to dress everyone in the party in a different style that coordinated well with each other. I loved the color selection available to me. They had nice, soft toned colors, so as not to get too flashy and take away from the bride!

Bridesmaids Dresses:

David’s Bridal provides a wide range of high quality dresses at a mid-range price. We did have some problems finding the correct size for the dresses that we were most interested in, but in the end, we were pleased with their service.

I was skeptical at first I thought that the dresses would look cheap. But I was wrong the dresses are beautiful and they are priced great! I ended up being able to afford 2 gorgeous dresses. One was a formal gown for the ceremony the other was a slim fitting silky dress from one of their beach collections which was great to dance in!
