This David's Bridal was my first time trying on dresses and I went there to ""get an idea"" of what I wanted. I came with a picture in hand of what I had in mind but it was something that they didn't carry. I was ok with that and still willing to try on other dresses that were similiar in style.\r

The sales women (JD, short for Jessica?) was nice but had no idea at all or just wasn't listening when I told her what I wanted. She brought me several dresses that were nothing at all like the picture. I specifically said no poof, no beading, no train. Of course all of the dresses were poofy, with tons of beading and an extra long train. After each sour reaction she would ask me what was wrong with the dress. I didn't feel there was anything ""wrong"" with the dresses, they just weren't for me. After about 6 dresses she started to get snotty and said that I was confusing her and contradicting myself. I am not sure what was confusing, I had a picture. Instead of her telling me they didn't have ANYTHING similiar she tried to sell me something I didn't like.\r

I finally came out in a dress that wasn't too bad. It was nothing like the one I described but it wasn't bad. I wasn't excited about it and actually wasn't even smiling. But she kept insisting that it was ""the one"". Then she tried to sell me a vail after I told her I wouldn't be wearing one, questioned why I wasn't wearing one and also tried to sell me goddy jewelry that I didn't want either.\r

Stupid me bought the dress, luckily it was extremely cheap. Any stranger would be able to tell that I was not excited about the dress like I should have been but she didn't seem to care. Again and again she kept telling me it was ""the one"".\r

I got home, tried on the dress again and started freaking out. It was completely not what I wanted and I was not happy with it. 30 minutes after buying the dress I called to store to see if I could return it and of course I couldn't.\r

It's my own fault for buying the dress and caving to the pressure of the sale women but never ever will I recommend David's Bridal to any friend or enemy of mine! I am buying something that is suppose to make me feel beautiful and excited, not dreary and prom-ish. A sales person who actually cares about that would have been nice. I know they are all trying to make a living, but if she would have been a bit more concerned with my wants she probably would have gotten a bigger commission if I had chosen a more expensive dress or at least for future recommendations from me. But after my experience there, no way!
