I went into Isabella's just looking. I am not getting married until next fall and I want to be able to get a feel for bridal shops in the area (selection, prices, quality, customer service etc) I went in telling the owner I am only browsing from the start and thought it was understood. Before coming here I went to another shop in the area, I tried on and liked a Maggie Sottero, but again, just browsing. So I walked into Isabella's and met with the owner who at first came across as nice. We began looking at gowns and I gave her a general idea of what I am looking for. What she came back with was NOTHING I explained. The quality of her dresses are cheap and nameless designers that don't even compare to the Maggie that I tried on. Not only that, she wanted to charge 1500$ for a dress that had sequence beading. The Maggie gown had Sworvoski (sp?) Crystal beading and didn't cost that much. Not only that, she was bad-mouthing other bridal shops in the area and being extremely pushy about gowns including bridesmaid gowns. She said if we like something and don't buy today it will NOT be there if we come back. All of this made me very uncomfortable. Overall I would not recommend Isabella's the service is not what I like and the quality of her gowns is very poor. Don't let her fool you ladies, you can buy a high end designer gown for less than what she's charging!
