I have been going to the Abbey for several years, bought prom dresses and both my sisters purchased their wedding gowns and BM dresses there, but I was really disappointed this time. I have a BM from out of town that they were supposed to call and ship her dress to her...three weeks until my wedding and she still does not have her dress! Also, they dont have a seamstress on duty on Saturdays and the only day they are open late is Tuesdays...so if you work and can't get there before 5 pm or are luck enough to get an appointment before 8 pm on Tuesdays, your out of luck for a seamstress. Their tayloring costs are also very expensive, my sister's alterations cost almost as much as the dress itself! I'm glad I didn't get my bridal gown here...there are better dress shops out there...I'd go here as a last resort.
