Linda Lee Bridal & Boutique

listen 2 every bad review that is written about this boutique. linda lee and her girls as she call them are nothing more than con artist and get overs. I got my dress from here for a certain occasion and i tell u that if u are looking for a place that put customers 1st please dont consider this boutique. only thing they care about is collecting linda's money so she can get boob jobs, face lifts, and botox injections. After being conned to pay for alterations I got my dress and it fit terribly. It was to long I tripped, fell and injured myself because the alterations werent done correctly. The dress was to big around the waist. The alterations ruined my night completely. I had to hold the bottom of the dress all night to prevent me from falling again. On the video that I watched with the model wearing the dress it flowed as she walked. Mines didnt. While in linda lees boutique I notice that as I talk to one person others came along to distract me. She said she gave me a discount but I went online to find the dress cheaper than her so called discount. This place have been ripping good people off for years and should be closed down. Everyone that ever purchased anything from there should get a full refund and some. As long as I live and if its the only bridal boutique in the world I Thais Marshall will never reenter the doors of Linda lees bridal boutique again. I will make my own dress before I go to that ghetto of boutiques again.\r more

Linda Lee's is so unorganized, the seamstress has a bad attitude, and the customer service is ridiculous, I would not recommend anyone going there, I should have followed the previous reviews, but thinking my experience would be different I went to Linda Lee's. Worst Mistake Ever!!!!!!!! more

I have never been treated so poorly by any bridal shop ever! My daughter tried a dress on and ordered it for a wedding. The dress came in and it was the wrong one. Ms. V insisted that the one we got was the one ordered using the reasoning that she only gets one sample size in each style bridesmaid dress and she never had the one we were supposed to get in the size my daughter needed and tried on. My daughter distinctly remembers that Ms. V told her on the day we tried the dress on that the only reason she had the dress in a size 24 was because it was ordered for another person and the wedding was cancelled and the bridesmaid never came to pick up the dress. This was not a cheap dress. We paid $280.00 for a dress we didn't order. At Linda Lee Bridal the customer has no recourse and they make sure of that. Mrs. V made my daughter and I seem like we were crazy and liars even though we had a picture of the dress we were supposed to get. I'm reporting this to the Better Business Bureau but we are stuck with a $280.00 dress that my daughter has to wear for the wedding!! more

Where do I begin? If you put down money on a dress that has never been ordered you can not get a refund or store credit. Shop anywhere else but here. Run for your life!!! This review does not deserve one star. more

I was very pleased with the friendly and thoughtful service that I received at Linda Lee. The woman who I was most pleased with Dina. She was extremely helpful in helping me make my dress perfect. I was getting a dress for my junior prom, and it was perfect. With Dina's help, I was able to get a dress that was very sought after. I want to thank Dina, and all of the other employees at Linda Lee's once again for their fine service. more

I am the mother of a bridesmaid in my brother- in-laws wedding.All I can say is READ the contract,IF the wedding gets cancelled YOU LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY!!!!! even though they haven't een ordered the dresses yet.The wedding my daughter was in was cancelled due to health reasons with the bride.WE were lied to they said everytime you make a payment they send it to the dress company,like if you made a $20 a month payment up until the six month mark they sent that $20 to the dress company .Some of the bridemaids only had put the $20 deposit and we trying to do the right thing made payments and paid $75 total,a few of the bridesmaids paid the FULL $104 that was the requied half down to ORDER DRESSES .THE BRIDE PUT $600 down Pros: that I didnt make another payment Cons: does even deserve 1 star (rating requied) more

I've been looking for wedding gowns for months now. I walked into Linda Lee Bridal with a few minutes to look around. I was greeted upon entering, asked to fill out a card with wedding date and in a few minutes had a personal attendant, Shakeya help me find a dress. I found two or three to try on and she brought me to a nice curtained fitting room and when I was ready, helped me into the dresses. She was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and organized. I had no negative experiences with the staff. I found one dress that I really liked and will be going back with my maid of honor so she can give me her opinion. I'll post again my next experience with Linda Lee. I was shocked when I saw how many negative posts they have. Alot were about orders not being put it on time, alterations and rude employees. I can say I haven't had any rude employees, but I will be careful to follow up if I get the dress to make sure alterations and fitting are not a problem. So far, I have had a pleasant experience and will be going back. Pros: personalized service, nice selection and price Cons: didn't have any more

I went to Linda Lee for my bridesmaid dresses. I ordered them in January of 2010 for a wedding in May of 2010. Linda lee said I would have to pay to rush the dresses so they didn't arrive a week before the wedding. I agreed to do so. Linda Lee forgot to rush the dresses and gave me the run a round for weeks. I would advise anyone never to go here for anything they are rude and unorganized. All they have done was add more stress to my wedding!!! Listen to all these reviews I wish I would have saw them before I went to Linda Lee.. Cons: EVERYTHING more

They handled my wedding with the greatest care, compassion and service. Linda Lee and Dina took care of all of my needs and I couldn't be more satisfied!! I think that the naysayers do not live up to their expectations when it comes to size and payments. This place has been in existance for 30 plus years. What more proff should you need in a business?? unfortunately the squeeky wheels get the grease!! I give them two thumbs up and if there were more than five stars, I'd give them more!! It just goes to show you that not everyone can be pleased!!! Good luck Dina and Linda Lee, I will recommend you to everyone!! Thanks. Pros: BEST of the BEST more

Will do some more research.... Thanks! more

i ordered my dress in december of 2008. my wedding is december of 2009. i went to pick up my dress this past friday and it did not fit. the consultant insisted that i would get it on and pushed me to take it home. the woman doing the alterations was telling me it wouldnt. of course i believed what i wanted to... that it would fit for my wedding so i took it home. after i left i decided to go show my mom where it was fitting tight. when i got there she was ib shock because even if i lost 15 or even 20 pounds, i was NOT getting in that dress. i decided to weigh myself to see if i truly did gain that much weiht. i am 7 lbs heavier now than i was in december, however i am still in the same jeans and all of my other clothes. my dress was about 5 inches from zipping in the back.... 7 pounds is NOT 5 inches! we called linda lee and asked for my original measurements because i am convined that the wrong size was orderd. they told me that i was 34 inches in the bust, 24 around the waist, and 27 around my hips. what a joke!! i havent been that small since i was in 6th grade! im not a big girl, but i am surely not considered ""skinny."" i measured myself and i am 37 inches in the bust (i know that didnt get any bigger because i wear the same bras) my waist is 41 inches.. you're telling me im 17 inches bigger... and only gained 7 pounds?! and my hips are 41 inches! i looked up a standard size chart on the internet and it looks to me like she read what a size 6 measurements were and thats wha they told me my measurements were (because thats the size dress i have) i am young and i have MANY friends who will be married in the next 2 or 3 years and i will tell them to NOT go through linda lee!! Pros: NOTHING. Cons: my whole expirience more

Linda Lee called herself and is going to work out our problem. I will advise if it is a 5 star or not. Finally, they are working with us and that is all I ever asked. Pros: Working with us more

I went here because the bride was getting her dress here, therefore wanted all of her bridesmaids dresses ordered here. I found a dress I loved, eventhough the price tag was around 300 dollars. No big deal I figured, because it was good quality and I could wear it again. They had the sizing chart and my measurements, yet still said the chart was off and did not know what size to order. I am a 5/6 jean size and an 8 tops in dress size, yet they insisted on ordering my dress in a 10 with extra length. I didnt know what to say because I obviously am not the expert, and left it up to them. The dress came in and was at least 2 sizes too big, I refused to pay them extra for alterations, not to mention the dress was completely different than the one I tried on. They said because the one I tried on was a sample or something like that then they wouldnt be the same... okay, so whats the point in picking out a dress you like? At this point I was just done with them, they had been continuously rude and acted as if we were such a burden. The last thing I was going to do was pay them for their mistakes. It was as if they ordered dresses too big just to get the extra money for alterations. Now its a few days before the wedding, and even after a nice woman altered this dress, it still fits oddly. Its hard to completely chop up a dress and resize it! The bust is probably the size of a 36 DD when I am the average 34c... anyway, I would never EVER EVER reccomend going to this place. Ever. To put it simply, I think I could have gone to a place like David's Bridal and recieved better service, granted, the dress would not have been a better quality, but its not as if I can wear this one anyway. They certianly do not help wedding days beautiful. Terrible experience overall. Pros: absolutely none! Cons: terrible customer service, too many to name! more

Linda Lee is a place that I would never recommend my family or friends to shop. I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and our dresses were rush ordered to arrive the last week of June. It is now second week of July and still no dresses. Even when they do arrive the fitting hours are ridiculous, three days a week for 4 hours. I had to pay a $40 fee to rush the dress only to find out they forgot to rush the order. When I called to check on the order the receptionist said the dress was due to arrive the first week of August (AFTER THE WEDDING!) the order had not even been placed. I spoke with a manager who after ten minutes on hold miraculously found where I had made the payment for the rush. She said she would order the dress that day, I think it is too little too late at this point. They have charged me a fee to rush, which they did not do. They have lied to me and just plain forgot to order my dress!!! Not the kind of thing to make an easy wedding day for the bride! Worst customer service I have ever experienced, DO NOT SHOP AT LINDA LEE BRIDAL! Pros: Found the perfect dress! Cons: Terrible Customer Service, Liars, Rude more

First of all they ordered me the wrong head piece. They tried to make me pay for it. The piece was if you were going to wear your hair on top of your head I have short hair. When they fitted my dress the sides were puckered & I didn't get it back till 2 days before my wedding. My gloves didn't get in till the day before my wedding. They were going to bring them to as a sales person lived close to me. Being the day before I had alot going on & didn't follow up with them. THey neved showed up with my gloves but yet I had to pay for them. Stay away. they will lie, lie lie. I would give it no stars but I had to. Cons: everything more

MY BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES WERE RUINED, MY WEDDING DRESS WAS READY THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE READY 1 MONTH BEFORE. THEY OVERCHARGED ME. THEY LIED TO ME, I AM SORRY THAT EVER I WALKED INTO THE STORE. MANAGEMENT IS HORRIBLE. Cons: THEY RUINED MY WEDDING more

I had a horrible experience all THREE times I went. The first time I went with my mother to find a bridal gown, and the girl (who no longer works there obviously) was giving me all her dirty laundry problems with her boyfriend, etc, and God forbid someone ask her help for something, since she came back in the room with a, ""I hate that stupid b*tch"" comment, amid the other fowl words that slipped out of her mouth the 2 hours we were there. The second time I went was to get my bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding, after they had moved to their current location. I was in the middle of getting alterations in the back room, and one of the managers was talking trash about some bride out on the sales floor and what she wanted for her wedding. Not only that, but another bridesmaid said she heard the manager say to one of the tailors, ""You better speak English, I write your checks in English."" The last time, I returned to look for another wedding dress, and the woman argued over the price of the dress I was in love with. I told her that I found it at another store for much lower price, and she continued to argue with me over it. These people are so unprofessional and rude, maybe not to your face, but once they go behind that curtain, that goes right out the window... more

I must say I enjoyed my experience @ Linda Lee Bridal! Other places that I visited, the staff weren't very nice or friendly. They seemed like they were just TOO busy to say (Hi, May I Help You)!!!!! When I walked into Linda Lee Bridal I was greeted immediately!!!!!! :) ""Hello, Welcome to Linda Lee Bridal, How can we help you"" I was amazed like,..wow I'm actually going to be helped! lol {it made me feel like a real bride} the attn was on ME! The person who greeted me was Shakeya :) {YES she comes highly reccommened} She took her time, was very patient & kind, she explained EVERYTHING! I wasn't really too sure about what style I liked for BM's dresses,..but after I showed her several pictures, SHE FOUND THE PERFECT DRESS! (AND,...another 1 of the associates tried the dresses on for my mom and I to see) TALK ABOUT EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! I picked a dress for my girls,..and I couldn't have been more happy! Since then,..I've called her SEVERAL times to change things, add more BM's, change the color, change/pick the shoes lol and she has been available every time! She has a very pleasant attitude! I really loved my experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Associates willing to help!!! more

Pick out my bridesmaids dresses and have an great conversation with my helper Tiara. Whom did a great job assistant me. But ova all i have to say I glad I have chosen LINDA LEE BRIDAL !!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TIARA !!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE ONE THAT THE GREAT PLACE TO GO WITH AFFORDALE PRICES !!!!!!!!!!! more

After reading the reviews it seemed that I'd either love them or hate them and I was fearing it'd be hate. WELL, I couldn't be more wrong...I LOVED them. Pros: GREAT customer service, show room, and decent dress selection Cons: I honestly can't think of any... more
