Allyse’s Bridal & Formal

My sister is getting married in September, so she had all the bridesmaids meet her here for her dress fitting. She had an 11am appointment. The place was packed! There were tons of people in the store, and the layout is terrible. It’s hard to make your way through the store with the way that it is set up, the rocks are super close together, ad they take you behind a makeshift wall to room, tightly packed with dresses. The dressing rooms are small, so it makes getting dressed difficult, especially when you have more than one gown in the room. The lady that was supposed to be helping us was constantly no where to be seen and if she was around, she was roping a group of girls next to us. I feel like she definitely wasn’t paying much attention to my sister. I was having to get clips to hold back the dress, and veils to try on because the lady didn’t Help us at all. The dresses are also ridiculously overpriced. We went to David’s bridal and had an infinitely better experience there.

I have been in this store on two separate occasions. The first, I was a walk in to look at wedding gowns. I stood by the front counter as two of the young working were talking amongst themselves. They never said a single word to me, even though I waited for a few minutes. So I left. I came back a second time (with an appointment) because I was determined to at least look at their dresses. (They had such pretty ones in the windows) So after making myself known this time, I waited for a few minutes again so that the owner could get off the phone. Then she showed be to the back where the gowns hung all squished together and in bags. She told me to look through them to find some I liked, then she disappeared while I looked forcing me to go find her. again, on the phone. I found maybe 2 dresses I actually liked. The store itself has a very limited selection. Just a few different dresses in an option of white or ivory. So I tried on my dress, and waited for her to zip me up. When I got out of the pedestal to view the dress, she ran off again. I stood there for at least 5 minutes. Literally. I had a question about alterations needed, and she ran off leaving me to wait even longer for the seamstress to come over. The young seamstress girl was probably the only helpful person in that place. When I was done talking to her, I saw the owner was helping another bride. (There were only 2 brides in the store at the time, including myself.) Aftr helping her, she ran off again while I was stuck in the dress! I waited for her to help me unzip it, but eventually asked the mother of the other bride that was there to help me. So I changed into my regular clothes and walked up ti the counter when she was on the phone again. I told her I didn’t find anything I liked, and left. Overall. terrible customer service, low quality dresses, high prices, and a horrible selection. Avoid this place! I will NOT be back.
