Madeleine's Daughter Bridal

I could not say more good things about Madelines Daughter. After going to 6 other bridal shops, I finally had someone who knew what they were talking about and seemed like they actually cared!

I can't say enough good things about this shop. When I first went I was a bit put off but fell in love with the staff and their level of service. When I left with my dress I was actually sad since this meant everything was real, plus I wouldn't get to play dress up anymore and be doted on! Mackenzie and the rest of the staff were fabulous! There was one employee there when I picked up my dress that was so-so but it was easy to put aside since everyone else was great. Mackenzie was really fun to work with, my mom would come up from SC and always love when we were waited on by Mackenzie. She was very professional but also made the process a lot of fun!

Thanks to Madeline's Daughter for a top notch experience from beginning to end. Great picking out dress, great with alterations. And the other part of the business they have with wedding planning (sorry I forget the name!) help. Wow. They gave us so much help with ideas for vendors. Spent a lot of time with us which I appreciated. I loved the overall time we had at Madeline's. They made us feel special every time we can in. We also did our tuxes with them.

I highly recommend Madeleine's Daughter for your wedding attire. My bridal gown, my mom's gown, and all four of my bridesmaids' dresses were purchased from here. The service we received was impeccable, and since my gown had to travel 350 miles for our big day, I had to make sure that it was packaged appropriately. They did all of this for me, and it arrived in perfect shape, no need to take it to the dry cleaners! I also had my dress (as well as mom mom's) altered here and our seamstress was amazing. She did a great job planning my bustle (it did not fall down all night!) and made my dress fit me like a glove. They could also accomodate the fact that all of my girls and my mom would come from out of state to try on dresses and have them altered later on.The staff was friendly, and ever so helpful, and I recommend them! You can't go wrong!! The attention to detail and the individualized service was the reason I chose to go to a smaller bridal shop as opposed to a national chain!

LOVED them so nice to me. I told them my budget and the did what they could to get me in the dress of my dreams. Everyone loved it.

I got my Allure Exclusive dress at Madeline's daughter and absolutely loved it and the entire experience of purchasing it. Every time I went to Madeline's daughter I found the service to be very personalized. The entire staff was very warm and welcoming. I also had my alterations done on my dress at Madeline's daughter by Cheryl and she did an amazing job! My dress fit me perfectly by the time she was done with it and she was so great to work with! I would definitely recommend going to Madeline's daughter to find your dream dress!

From start to finish, Madeleine's Daughter was an amazing place to shop for my wedding dress!. My sales associate Kerri was so attentive and supportive and was able to find me my perfect dress. The professionalism and quality of service is in my opinion unmatched by any other bridal salon in the area and mirrors that of high end boutique shops. I never felt like just a number at this salon, and would recommend Madeleine's to anyone in search of their perfect dress.

I got my beautiful Marisa wedding gown from this shop with the help of MacKenzie. She was so honest, helpful and pleasant and really made the experience special. They even sent me a personalized "something blue" with the dress! They had a great selection and I would highly recommend looking for your dress at this shop--especially working with MacKenzie!

Sadie was a godsend. That's all I can say! Everyone was amazing, but Sadie was a shining star. From finding my perfect dress, to working with my bridesmaids to find theirs, and solving a bridesmaids dress fit issue 2 weeks before the wedding. I cannot thank you enough Sadie! Well worth the drive up from Boston, any day!

I puchased my gown, veil, headpiece, and shoes from Madeleine's Daughter. I had heard great things about this shop, so it was first on my list when I started shopping for my wedding dress. I had MacKenzie as a consultant, and she was great! Before trying on any dresses they confirm your budget (mine was $2000-$2500), and they really do try to only show you dresses within that price range. I tried dresses on from $900 and up. The dress I chose was way over my budget, but I was able to purchase the sample, which was wonderful. It was a $4900 gown, and I paid $2500. Overall my other purchases were enjoyable as well. I got a great pair for shoes for $99! My only complaint was that I never received a call on any of my orders when they were in. I understand that these places get busy, so no big deal.

I had such a great experience at Madeleine's Daughter. My consultant MacKenzie was AMAZING. I had gone to a few salons in MA and no one really listened, but once I got talking to MacKenzie and tried on all different styles, she seemed to catch on quickly to what I wanted and over a few appointments of trying different accessories and what not, everything worked out perfectly!!! The only thing I am nervous about are my alterations, but I have been assured that it will be nothing but perfect. The customer service here is impecable and I have been so impressed. If it wasnt this way I would have already taken the dress elsewhere. I definitely recommend making the trip here!!! You get to play dress up and Portsmouth is a great place to hit up the boutiques and have a great lunch on the water!

Found the dress I loved, and had my alterations done there as well, and thought they were professional and easy to work with from start to finish. Would (and have!) highly recommend Madeline’s Daughter Bridal.

I'm not a crier. It takes a lot of emotion to make me cry. Further more "happy tears" are usually a mystery to me.That said, when I tried on my wedding dress at my final fitting I was so thrilled that my eyes got a little misty. Which for me is like sobbing hysterically out of joy. The dress was perfect. Fit like a glove.Gerry (the seamstress) did a perfect job. She was awesome the whole way through and truly delivered on this dress. I was so over the moon that I actually gave her a huge hug once I put the dress on. Not to mention my exuberant hugging of both Juhree (the wonderful consultant who helped me find the dress in the first place and was my contact person throughout) and the girl who always checked me out. Apparently my response to overwhelming joy is to hug everyone in sight.At any rate, the dress came out fantastic. My expectations were surpassed. This is THE place to go for your dress from start to finish.HIGHLY recommend.

a serious store with serious value!

Madeleine's Daughter were great. It was nice that i didn't have to search through dozens of racks of dresses myself. We sat down at talked about what i was looking for first, and then they went and got the dresses that they felt matched my description. We were in a large room with a private bathroom. I also bought my bridesmaids dresses as well as the mother of the bride's dress here.

I was very happy with the dress selection experience. Juhree assisted me in selecting a dress and had wonderful suggestions which were right on. The dress arrived on time and I felt it was worth the price I had paid.The alterations were a little more difficult. They didn't go exactly as I had hoped, so we had to fit in an extra fitting the week before the wedding. I suppose that is why they make multiple appointments for you, so take advantage if you have time. The alterations were also a little on the expensive side.I also purchased my jewelry, shoes and hairpiece here. They were a little pricey, but handmade and I fell in love with them.

The staff at Madeleine’s Daughter were a pleasure to work with. My first trip to there was actually to try on bridesmaid dresses for my best friend’s wedding over a year and a half ago. Since then I have visited many time. Madeleine’s was one of the first stop on what quickly became a far and wide search for my perfect wedding dress. During that first visit I actually tried on the dress that would become “the dress”. McKenzie, my bridal consultant, was extremely knowledgeable about wedding dresses and what was in inventory which was very helpful in narrowing down what exactly I was looking for in a dress. She was also very patient. I believe it wasn’t until my third visit to the store to try on dresses that I fell in love with my dress and made the purchase.The post-purchase experience was excellent. Gerry, the seamstress, was superb – I really enjoyed working with her during my three fittings. She made it her mission to make sure my dress fit me like a glove and was exactly what I wanted. She didn’t stop until every detail of my dress was perfect. When I finally picked it up the week of the wedding, I couldn’t have been happier with the final product. Although, my husband wasn’t a part of the Madeleine’s Daughter experience he did love my dress! 

After less than perfect service at another bridal boutique, I was extremely please with my experience at Madeline's Daughter. They have a great selection of bridal gowns, the atmosphere is both comfortable and classy, while the staff is very customer-service oriented. Juhree, my consultant, has also been extremely helpful with bridesmaid dresses. Because the dress process is so personal, I feel so happy to have gotten my dress from such a great place that I can highly recommend to others.

The sales person I worked with found me exactly what I was looking for in the price range I was interested in, even after I'd heard several people at other shops tell me that what I wanted was out of my price range. My dress came in exactly as ordered and in a very timely fashion, as did the shoes and jewelry and head piece I eventually ordered. I had a little bit of a problem scheduling the fittings, but we managed to work everything out and I was very happy with my dress the other items I purchased there.

Madeleine's Daughter was wonderful to work with. I bought a beautiful Maggie Sottero dress for a reasonable price and they were diligent in arranging my fittings to fit my schedule. They also helped me with the bridesmaid dresses and were always joyful and sweet. Cheryl was my seamstress and I can't talk enough about how wonderful she was. She adhered to every detail and even helped us with tailoring my mother's veil for my wedding. We tea-died it to match my European Ivory dress and she was there in a pinch when we were panicked if we dyed it too heavily. On my review card I wrote, "Cheryl deserves a raise!" I hope they listened :) Overall, it was a lovely experience, though tailoring was rather pricey, I would recommend the venue to future brides :D

The girls here are very accommodating and professional. I found my dress on the first day I looked, and they spent many hours with me until I found "the one." The seamstress was so sweet and did an utterly amazing job on my dress, adding enough boning to support my large chest, but making it comfortable so it wouldn't hurt or bother me. I also had a very complicated bustle, and she took the time and effort to make sure it was perfect, and all fixtures blended right in with the beading on the dress.One problem was that they are b*tchy and a little rude if you buy anything else (such as jewelry and bridal party dresses) from someone else, and if you have any issues with billing, they are fair, but again rude. I think they were complaining about me right in front of me as they discussed a billing question I had (I never even made an argument, only had a question about a credit).I would still recommend Madeleine's Daughter, but make sure you are very clear abotu your intructions!

Both my mom and I bought our dresses at Madeleine's Daughter, and had our alterations done there. We loved this place! I was able to find my dream dress that made me feel like a princess, and my mom was equally happy with her dress. The alterations were done perfectly (I am the only one of my friends who did not have an issue with my bustle during the wedding and I had a heavy dress!) Overall, I cannot say enough good things about the experience I had there. Each time I visited they made me feel like I was their only client. It was the favorite part of my wedding planning!

I just visited Madeleine's Daughter for their Thanksgiving sale. Mackenzie was awesome and very helpful and patient bringing me about 8 dresses to try on and encouraging me to try on dresses that suited my body type even though they weren't on my radar initially. This event was amazing, and I got a sample Pronovias dress for 50% off. There were some gowns even up to 80% off. I highly recommend the trip up to Portsmouth!!

Overall I would highly recommend. Be sure to make an appointment before arriving. Great selection and I thought that the prices were comparable with other shops I visited. A few issues with alterations but ready on schedule.

Great experience with Madeleine's Daughter. I bought my dress and my MOH's dress here and their service is excellent. The sales consultants are extremely helpful and will guide you to find your perfect gown. Very personalized and attentive to the bride!

I wasn't impressed when I first when to Madeleine's with the bridal consultant they gave me, but soon after I was notified that she had moved on to another job and when they replaced her with McKenzie, I couldn't have been more thrilled. She was sweet, kind, understanding, fun and thoughtful and she was patient too. I probably tried on close to 50 gowns in my 2-3 appointments there before I found "the one". I appreciated that the salon has very open, roomy dressing rooms for brides, and a lot of privacy. I also found my veil there with much help from Christine, who was also very patient and flexible. She pulled the perfect veil, just in to the store, from the back room, and it was lovely. She had it altered for me easily and quickly. Everyone ensured that we were comfortable while we were there (anyone who's tried on bridal gowns knows it can be quite a process!). My gown was by Pronovias, a Spanish company, and I couldn't have been happier.

with all sincerity i could not have been more happy to have gotten here to get my wedding dress than anywhere else. i almost cried when i received the finished product because i looked so beautiful in it. thank you so much!!

I loved the consultant who helped me find my dress. Juhree was awesome (I think she's a manager now). Everything else about the process went fine. Alterations were good, dress was nicely pressed when I picked it up, etc. It's not a place for the budget bride, but I would recommend it for anyone else.

These guys were one of the best bridal salons I went to find dresses and I ultimately bought my dress here. I gave slightly lower marks on value because I would have been able to purchase my dress on the internet for cheaper than what I paid at the store. But with purchasing it at the store, you get the experience and that is also truly memorable. My bridal consultant was lackluster, but the whole experience was a lot of fun. They have a good selection and I actually purchased a dress from the Pronovias trunk show and I was in love with Pronovias dresses. I definitely recommend this store for anyone looking for a bridal dress!

The owner of Madeleine's Daughter really took the extra step for me. My grandma's house was rapidly declining, and we suspected that she would pass away before my wedding. My wedding dress hadn't even come in yet, but Madeleine's allowed us to take the sample dress from the store to the nearby nursing home where my grandmother was living so I could try it on for her to see. It was a beautiful moment, and my grandmother did end up passing away soon after, so I'm so thankful to Madeleine's Daughter for allowing me to have that memory.

My consultant was kerry! She was amazing! So helpful and picked all the right things to make my dress. Prices were very reasonable. I bought everything from my dress, shoes, accessories, veil, and under garments there. I would recommend this shop to anyone! Thanks Madeleine's daughter for the great and fun experience picking out my beautiful dress!!

Madeleine's Daughter was such a great experience. Very professional and supportive.

The dress did take a long time to arrive, but thankfully it did arrive when promised. I wasn't able to get the correct swatch of my dress, but they did try to get me a swatch that was close to my dress. It would've been nice to have the actual swatch to take the guess work out of the other details surrounding trying to match or compliment the dress, but it worked out fine. They are very knowledgeable and helpful, but sometimes it was too busy to get someone to help us while we were there. I recommend Madeleine's Daughter for any budget and any style dress you may be shopping for.

I went to a bunch of different dress places to find "the" dress. I didn't like Yolandas as they kept bringing me the wrong type of dress despite my big file of pictures I liked. I really wanted to like Abbey in Andover (they have that amazing storefront with the beautiful dress displays) but I think I was unlucky when I went because the very young sales girl was just useless. Me and my MOH were the only ones in the store and she ignored us for ages and then halfheartedly got me about 3 dresses from the basement storeroom huffing and puffing each time. I loved Christina's in Andover (above Starbucks) you can pick out your own dresses and they have a HUGE selection. And then I went to Madeline's daughter and it was just great. They make you feel really special, have beautiful private rooms and the most amazing selection of dresses. TOTALLY worth the trip to Portsmouth - it's like a day out! Book an appointment though. We went one evening after work and it was still really busy.

I bought my wedding dress and all of the bridesmaids' dresses at Madeline's daughter and was very pleased with the service. Madeline's daughter was the first shop that I went to and because the salesperson (Jurhee) was so wonderful, I found the perfect dress right away. Although the alterations were a bit expensive, I was glad that my dress was in good hands. The bridesmaids' dresses were absolutlely beautiful and I was able to find junior bridesmaids' dresses that looked great.

Mackenzie was the perfect consultant, professional and with a great eye for what would suit me. I am convinced that I found the dress that was meant for me and it was all thanks to her! Minor differences with alterations, suggest having an additional person in the room at all fittings to verify what was supposed to be done.

Excellent service!!!!Very professional and great sales !They have beautiful dresses there... After going to several places, I found my dress there, and it was not hard to fall in love with it... Really nice place to pick your dress and very friendly people...

Madeleine's daughter is a wonderful place to get your dress/bridesmaids dresses. Their staff was so nice and the shop is beautiful. It was never difficult to get an appointment and I always felt taken care of.

God!!!!! i loved my dress it was the best thing that ever happened to me!! to go to this place and find the perfect dress!

I got an absolutely gorgeous dress for 50% off. No complaints.

Their selection is great! Their staff is very kind and professional! I was a bit put off when I was told that one couldn't take a photo of the dresses until you've made a payment. If people are going to go elsewhere they will do it with or without a photo. It really felt like I missed out on documenting such a meaningful part of the process. They also didn't seem to have (or want to show us any) "sale" options.The bottom line is I love my dress (Pronovias) and they helped me find it and delivered it right on time. I would recommend Madeline's to any future brides!

Happy with my experience. Nice sales staff were very helpful. Alterations team was great and made sure my dress was perfect.

wow what can i say about these people. they are really true dream makers. i had gone to so many other bridal gown places and didnt find the one for me. after much searching and advice from friends, i stumbled upon them and they were awesome. every detail meant to me and they made sure to make my dress perfect. i was the happiest bride in the world.

I loved working with MacKenzie in search of my perfect Bridal Gown! She was enthusiastic and honest with her opinons, which I was grateful for. I loved the dress I ended up purchasing!!Working with alterations was okay. I thought it was on the expensive side. However, they do store everything at the salon for you (veil, shoes, bras, etc - even if you did not purchase them there). I did feel that my seamstress was annoyed when I had brought my matron of honor and mother with me each time. He attitude came across that they were in the way, and I did not appreciate it!

Our consultant was wonderful and personable. I think her name was Kerry. I had tried on about 50 dresses before I tried Madeleine's Daughter and I was feeling a little discouraged when I arrived. Kerry was really upbeat and willing to help me find what I was looking for. I showed her some photos and she pulled dresses that she thought I might like. I absolutely did not expect to find a dress that day, but Kerry found my dress for me! I chose Cabo by Watters. Some bridal salons we went to were charging $1,000s more than the stock price for dresses that were a couple years old, but the price for my dress was right where I would expect it to be. The whole process of finding and ordering the dress went smoothly. It even came in a couple months ahead of time. However, when it came in, the staff knew that I planned on using my own seamstress because I don't live too close. That may have been why I was basically ignored when I went back to pick up my dress. Someone showed me which dressing room it was in and then left, never to be seen again. When I came to buy the dress, someone helped me into it and talked to me about the fit and accessories. I could have liked some guidance, but I got tired of waiting around in my dress and just got changed back into my clothes to leave! It was a bit frustrating, but I was happy with the dress, its arrival time, and the price.

This store is a great place to start because it has lots of dresses and accessories but some of the consultants put on a little too much pressure. They were kind enough to allow me to return a dress for store credit 24 hours after I had bought it. I had thought it would be impossible to spend, but since my sister was also getting married, it was a breeze.

My dress was a designer sample and I paid little under $2,000 vs the $3,500 it would've cost brand new. I also purchased my veil and some accessories and my Mother in-law purchased her dress there as well. I had Juhree initially as a consultant and she was great, at first. I then ended up with a different consultant who in my opinion got easily confused and was a little snotty. There were a lot of mixups and wrong sizing on my bra (3 different times!) I was overcharged on something and had to fight to get my $80 back. The responsiveness (phone calls back) and communication was pretty awful. Also, some of the girls could stand to be a little more professional. At one point a few of my girls and my Mom felt uncomfortable in the store, they felt that some of the consultants we a little "snooty". Which is unfortunate, considering the $ we spent. I could've gone to David's Bridal, spent a lot less $ and received far better treatment! I would think making your customers feel as comfortable as possible was the goal, since they are putting down a little bit of $ and you are working on commission.That being said, overall the quality was good. The seamstress was fantastic. I dont know if I'd recommend to a friend or not. I'd probably say go to Country Bridal in Hingham, which is where I should've ordered my dress. They were far friendlier there..

The woman I had was very nice, however, all the "extras" were so expensive.

I am torn about Madeleine's Daughter. When I went to look at veils and headpieces, the women were very helpful and knowledgeable. However, when we went to look at tuxes, the staff was clearly overburdened with work and seemed very unwilling to help us. They clearly get a large amount of orders in but do not necessarily seem equipped to deal with these orders if their customer service skills just fly out the window. I would probably not recommend Madeleine's Daughter if you are looking for personalized and attentive service.

If I were to do it all over again, I probably would have shopped around more for my dress. Madeleine's Daughter has beautiful dresses, but not a huge selection. I was under some time pressure when I ordered my dress, but when it came in, it was way too big (at least 2 sizes). This was very frustrating, as I had not lost weight and the dress was custom made (not cheap!!!). I mentioned this to my seamstress, but she didn't say anything. I suspect that they intentionally order dresses too big to get you to have alterations done with them. I was not happy about this at all! Beware! Check what size they are ordering for you. My seamstress and sales person were both very nice. The people on the phone who handled fittings were not as nice. For that kind of money, I expect to be treated cordially, particularly when the dress is a) late coming in and b) 2 sizes too big!

There dresses were a amazing.. but.. I am a size 0 and they insistend that I get an 8. Needless to say I spent some must money getting it fixed .. by them of coarse!!!!

My experience with Madeleine's Daughter started out wonderfully, but unfortunately went somewhat south closer to the date of my wedding. I picked out my dress on the first visit-my mom and I absolutely fell in love with it. Our consultant for the day, Kerry was great. She was very helpful, cheery, and made you feel very comfortable. I had purchased my prom dress there years earlier, so we were happy to be returning customers. My bridesmaids also purchased their dresses there and a few were not pleased with the service they encountered. They were measured incorrectly and not given any satisfaction when they called to inquire as to why. Fast forward to my dress fittings; we were not aware of the charges to alter my dress because we were told that part of their service was to only take on the alterations of the bridal gowns. But we paid, no questions asked. There was also a miscommunication on their end when it came to altering my veil (I was using my mom's). So 2 weeks prior to my wedding day, I'm without a veil. Lastly, 2 days before the wedding, the day we're going to pick up the dress, we get a call from them saying that we will not be allowed to pick up the dress or the veil unless the veil alterations are paid for! They weren't paid for because they weren't done! Needless to say my mom was upset; this after shelling out a lot of money for a VERY expensive gown. Very disappointing. it's too bad because they're a beautiful boutique with many gorgeous gowns. I would recommend them because I feel they can redeem themselves. However, one of my bridesmaids just recently bought her own wedding gown, and it was not from Madeleine's Daughter.

I was pretty disappointed with MD. During my wedding my purse (that I purchased at MD) handle broke and my dress came apart at one of the alteration sites. In fact, I can even see it in a few of my pictures. I informed them (post-wedding) of how thier craftmanship held up and they were unwilling to make any adjustments or to compensate me for having a seam showing in my wedding pictures. Their respone was well I dont' know what you were doing when your purse broke or the seam came apart. I look at the pictures and want to cry. It is a true shame.

Madeleine's Daughter makes you feel like a princess throughout the period of selecting a gown and ordering. The store is beautiful and the staff is helpful. Once all of our orders had been placed, it never felt the same. We went from being treated so well to feeling awful after we walked out of the store. My recommendation would be if you wanted to get your dress from them, that is fine, but do not get your alterations there! They were not flexible and wanted you in and out.

I bought a Matthew Christopher dress from Madeline's Daughter in May '08. I absolutely LOVE my Matthew Christopher gown. I went with the 'Gatsby' dress and the minute I tried it on, I was hooked. The quality of the fabric was better than any other dress I wore, and it just fit perfectly.The reason why I rated this vendor so low is because of the horrible sales woman I had. Her name (I believe) was Natalie, and she was absolutely horrible. She wouldn't listen to what I was saying. I said I was sick of trying on strapless, A-line dresses because up to that point, that was mostly all I had tried on and I really wanted to see something different. So what did she bring me? Nothing but strapless, A-line dresses. On our way out of the store, I noticed my Matthew Christopher dress on a mannequin and went back into the dressing room to try it on. That is ... after she announced in front of the entire store that she thought about bringing that one to me, but that it was "way out of your price range". Well, luckily there was a trunk show that day for Matthew Christopher dresses, so it was in fact, in our price range. She was very disrespectful and uninterested in us the entire visit. We really did not want to give her the commission on the sale, but if not for the trunk show sale, we wouldn't have been able to purchase it.We were also told that we would be 20% off my veil if I bought it that day. So I met with the accessory guy who gave his thoughts about how to style the veil that I chose. Turns out, the "style" suggestions he made forced the veil into a 'customized' state which took away the 20% discount ... but of course they didn't mention that until it was time to pay up!other than that, the manager of the store was very nice and the other sales people we spoke with were also nice. If you can avoid Natalie, you should be ok here.

We had a very attentive clerk that fitted us and helped us with choosing the mother of the bride gown, the mother of the groom dress, and our bridesmaid dresses. Her service was wonderful! The time it took to receive the dresses was lengthly though, and the mother of the groom received a stained and scorched gown that she never even took home from the store. The staff gave her a hard time, telling her she would have to pay again to order a replacement dress, when she didnt accept the condition of the dress to begin with. It was over $400!!! Because of how close the time was to the wedding, they couldnt even guarantee she would get it in time, so she bought a dress off the rack that was 3 sizes too big and was a floor sample, they only discounted it 10% and refused to include the alterations on it, costing her another $150 by a private seamstress...love the sales staff...not happy with the "policies" of this particular store!

I walked in with 6 of my 8 bridesmaids to look for bridesmaid dresses. We had an appointment and we arrived 15 minutes early. They told us to start looking and someone would be with us shortly. No one came around to help us and they had little selection of bridesmaid dresses. It wasn't worth the trip up to Portsmouth from MA. I heard they have a good selection of bridal dresses but we never made it that far we ended up just leaving after no getting any help.

The store has beautiful dresses, but I was extremely frustrated with service I have received after I purchased my dress. I was coming from Boston and fitting times were inconvenient and they did not do much to work with me. They woukld not offer me saturday fittings. I also purchased my bridesmaids dresses there which ended up being a huge mistake. When my girls called to purchase there dresses the store wasn’t sure what color they were ordering and they were not very helpful having the girls pick out the dress size over the phone. They also did not notify me or the girls when any of our dresses arrived at the shop. Very poor customer service considering how much money all of those dresses cost.

I found the dress on the first day ... The woman who assisted me was great. I went back for my first fitting and was so disappointed. The seamstress seemed bothered and rushed. I felt that I should have had the alterations completed at another location.

The dress selection is great but if you have the opportunity to have the dress altered at another location...I highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful experience when I initially looked for and purchased my dress. My consultant was fantastic. She tuned right into my personality and sense of style, and I had found my dress in under a half hour! I was so excited that it had been so effortless. I wish I could say the same for my alterations experience. It was a disaster. I went back for fitting, after fitting. I was a week away from my wedding and the dress was a disaster. The hem was ripped, the bustle embarassing. They wanted me to come back the day before my wedding to pick it up. I had my only bridezilla moment of the whole planning process and pulled the dress from alterations and took it to a seamstress in Manchester. The best decision I had made!

I was not impressed with this store on any level. They were rude and pushy. Their dresses were nice but not well priced. I would not recommend them.

Madeline's Daughter gets an A for dress selection, but a D- for customer service. I gave my consultant a very specific price range, explaining to her that I would go no higher than a certain amount. My price range was more than reasonable. She brought me in lovely dresses, all very much in tune with what I had explained to her. We narrowed it down to 2 dresses. Imagine my surprise when I was informed that the dresses I loved were both $1K more than I told her I wanted to spend. What most upsets me about this is that I told her part of the reason I came to MD was because the last shop I went to, they never asked me a price range and showed me dresses that were double what I had intended to spend. The truth is, if I really wanted the dress at MD I could come up with the money to buy it -- but there are so many other brides out there who are working with such tight budgets that for them coming up with an extra $1000 would be impossible. How dare they take advantage of a bride like that! I would not return to that store if they paid me to wear the dress! A warning to other brides: demand to see the price of the dress before you try it on and fall in love with it. Good luck with the wedding planning!
