expert advice
“Make sure the
quality of the gown is what you're expecting compared to the price. When
looking at gowns, notice the craftsmanship of the dress,” suggests Doreen
Leaf, owner of Doreen Leaf Designs. “You should be checking for finished
seams, even hemlines (lesser quality gowns tend to have uneven hemlines), and
making sure beads/sequins are adhered securely.”
Meg Walters of Henri's Cloud Nine points
out that ”Most full-service bridal shops offer a much wider selection of
gowns in a variety of styles that can be purchased off-the-rack in addition
to their custom-order gown inventory.
Full-service shops may carry upwards of 500 different gown styles,
whereas a discounter may only carry 25 or so styles and has no means of
custom ordering.”
Vera Boumadi of Vera's Ladies Apparel recommends, " When looking for mother-of gowns, you should go to a place where personal attention, latest fashions and professionals are what you encounter when you first walk through the door. Because it is an exciting time in your life, mothers-of should take comfort in working with a trusted professional who can meet their needs. With individual attention you can enjoy the wonders of the wedding day, stress-free, with the perfect fit."
Value isn’t just about price says Marcy Hudson of
Expressions Bridal & Formal. When searching for the “value” of bridal gown,
brides should look at quality of the product AND quality of the service at the
bridal store of their choice. So many
brides are searching just for the best bargain or the best price. What brides should look for is a bridal store
where they are treated like a princess, a store where they know your name when
you walk through the front door, and a store that is truly interested,
concerned and passionate about helping them find the dress of their
dreams.
