Peggy's Bridal

Peggy's Bridal has beautiful designer gowns, and I went with a friend shopping for her gown who wanted to do a "preview" shop before her mother came the following weekend. We made an appointment that day, as they had a cancellation, which was nice. However, neither of us were dressed very well and didn't feel we were taken seriously at times. Although we were allowed to browse and choose certain gowns from clearance and other racks, the sales associate made her displeasure known with some of our choices. She chose a beautiful gown for my friend, and my friend looked lovely in it, however she seemed interested only in moving us along. We had been up front about wanting to try on dresses so that my friend could narrow down choices for her mother's visit, but the hurried treatment we received resulted in my friend canceling her appointment for the following weekend and working with another shop.

I have family that lives in NY state, so we often drive down for a long weekend to visit my mom's sister. Since I was 13 years old I have loved, loved LOVED American prom dresses and wedding dresses. They are unlike anything I've ever seen in Canada. I just think that the US has more low- and mid-price formal wear for women, and that the dresses have more sparkle and style and everything than most dresses in Canada. I think it's because the pageant industry is so much more popular in the US. Either way, once I got engaged and we had a wedding date set, I started going to the States more often. Most shops were nice about letting me in without an appointment because I was coming from so far. Peggy and her staff were absolutely wonderful! I had brought in pictures of the designer dresses I loved, and they had so many dresses to show me in the same style but by different brands, and for much less. I loved their selection, and I think I was really lucky I found the store! I found my dress during the first visit, and went back down the following weekend with my mom to buy it and get it altered. It was a long shopping trip with lots of distance put on the car, but so worth it.

They actually made a mistake when they altered my dress, and I wanted to cry. The front of my dress was so big, I really thought it was never going to be ready in time. But they were able to fix it. This was really my dream dress, and I loved shopping at the store, so I am happy I didn’t have to give them a bad review.
