I had had a horrible experience at David's, and was trying to be optimistic about finding a dress. I was ready have a dress custom made, wanting a dress with support, not the strapless ones that are in style right now. I had seen an Alfred Angelo dress in a mag that I liked and wanted to try on, and found Bridal Exclusives online. I stopped in to see if there was one in my size and they offered to let me try it on right then. I was working, so I made an appointment to come back with my mom and bridesmaid. They have a huge selection of plus sized dresses. The Alfred Angelo one didn't look great on me, but the 4th one I tried brought tears to all of our eyes. Amber, our consultant, was very helpful, listened well to my needs, had great suggestions and was very knowledgeable in suiting my body type, alterations, options. She cried, too, when she saw the dress on me. It is such a relief to have found the dress. I was willing to pay twice the cost to have a flattering dress, but was thrilled to have found 'the one' at Bridal Exclusives. They didn't allow us to take pictures until I had chosen, then my mom snapped away, and I have those photos to show to my hair dresser, plan my make up, match the tux to, etc. \r
I would recommend this shop to any bride. You deserve to be treated with respect, don't settle for the Walmart of dress shops! Go to Bridal Exclusives!
Pros: Experienced consultants, great plus sized options, not chaotic or pushy.
Cons: Not one!
