As a plus size mother of the bride, shopping for a dress for my daughter's wedding was not a pleasant experience, UNTIL I walked into Treasures Bridal. Vickie and her girls were wonderful. I ordered a dress they helped me visualize and waited for its arrival. I tried it on and it was HUGE. The onsite fitter made the adjustments and I was to return in about two weeks. Next fitting: the dress was still too big in the bodice, but I was told I was wrong in that opinion. The dress was still so long I was tripping on it (I had been in the same shoes all along) and we needed to make adjustments to the shawl clips that had been installed. (I ended up having to remove the clips the night of the wedding as I could not raise my arms to light a candle.). Workmanship was crooked and shoddy. The dress had to be shipped to California so now I was in a time crunch and it was arranged that I would go for the fitting in the morning and the dress would be done in the late afternoon. So I have to say that they tried to accommodate me. But in the end, I wore a dress that looks sloppy and huge on me in the photos and was was still so long that I tore the lining about 4 times catching my heel in the dress. The dress of my dreams ended up being a huge disappointment and I felt uncomfortable all evening. I try not to think about the fact that I did not INSIST that the dress be taken in to fit me. The ironic thing is tthat we used the Treasure's recommendation for my other daughter to get her bridesmaid dress altered at Queen Alterations (the Asian lady referred to in other review) and they made the dress fit like it had been made for her. Treasure's is a family business and everyone is very, very nice. But in the end, I so wanted my dress from Treasure to be wonderful, but it just wasn't.
