I first went to Bobbie's to purchase a bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding. The employee did exactly what the book Bridal Bargains cautions customers about. She insisted I needed a dress that was a size that turns out to be two sizes larger than what I wear for everyday clothes. Of course when the dress came in, it was very large and it needed extensive alterations. Bobbie's Bridal's fees for the alterations were almost the same price as the dress. Additionally, they rip the tags out of their wedding dresses, which I understand is against the FTC policies.
