My daughter purchased her gown at Weddings by Debbie in Sept. of 2007 for her Oct. 2008 wedding. Their selections were excellent. Their accessories over priced. You have to sign your life away when purchasing the gown. She was measured at that time for her gown size. When she went for her first fitting the gown was totally out of proportion for her. They pinned the gown and unwillingly made some changes my daughter requested. When she went to the front to sign the paper (yet again) for the alterations she was charged over $400.00! She talked it over with me and also a co-worker who provided her with the name of a wonderful seamstress in Houston and after some consideration my daughter called Weddings by Debbie and asked them not to do the alterations but to leave the pins in. she was told she would be charged for the pinning ($54.00) AND they wouldn't leave the pins in as it was their work product. So we paid $54.00 for the pins but couldn't keep the work! She took her gown to a seamstress who specializes in wedding gowns and was charged one-half what Weddings by Debbie charged and she made changes that were never suggested to my daughter at Weddings by Debbie to make the gown more proportional to her petite size. Overall, I would recommend Weddings by Debbie for their large stock and wide range of prices but definitely take the gown elsewhere for alterations...and oh yes, they charge you 12.00 for a garment bag after you have spent all that money on your gown, veil, jewerly etc. I purchased a blazer in a chain retail store and was given a garment bag for free. They should reconsider that fee!!!
Pros: Large selection
Cons: After care
