Bridal Accent & Evening Wear

I have never written an online review before, but I really hate dishonesty - especially when it aims to take advantage of someone on such an emotional and important purchase as a wedding dress. I had exactly the same experience as the reviewer “melahoni” below - fortunately I did not actually purchase the dress! I tried on a lovely wedding dress, and was told by Jill that it was a one-of-a-kind custom dress newly created for Bridal Accent & Eveningwear (the dress even had the store’s label in it), and that I would never find another one like it anywhere else. Because the dress would have required a lot of alterations, I decided to hold off on buying it. After Google-ing the store the next day and reading this CitySearch review, I’m really glad I did!!! Sure enough, I did a quick online search and found that the dress I had tried on was also an Anjolique (a sample from a past season), selling for far less elsewhere. \r Anjolique dresses are lovely - do yourself a favor and buy one from an honest retailer.\r more

I was told the wedding dress I was purchasing was a one of a kind custom dress. The dress had no labels inside and I was told it retailed over $3000,00 but If I bought the sample it would be $1400.00 plus tax= over $1600 ( without alterations) I took my dress to another seamstress and when she was altering it she found a tag inside I guess that Bridal Accent forgot to cut out. To my surprise this dress was not a custom made dress, but a name dress called Anjolique and brand new sold for around $800- 950 depending on where you go BRAND NEW! Never buy a sample dress, I am having such difficulty with it, it was missing beads and it will cost me over $150 to have it cleaned, even though Jill the owner said it was a new sample. I have never felt so taken advantage of in my life. I had called the owner when I found out the dress style and she was rude and said that she would do nothing for me. She also said that she never told me it was a custom dress even though I had a witness with me. I would never have purchased this dress if I knew it was not custom. I will be filing a suit with the BBB, the DA, and if need be my lawyer on retainer. I will also let every wedding website and wedding board never to shop here. In the end I hope this dress fits like a dream when my seamstress is done, but in the back of my mind always I will feel completely ripped off from Jill. In conclusion never shop here, unless you like being lied to and having someone steal your mone Pros: go here if you like being lied to and ripped off Cons: being lied to and ripped off more
