    The wrinkled dress

    I went in to get a dress for my daughter upcoming wedding and I was ignored about my size. I advised the lady helping me my size, she kept bringing me smaller ones. To the point that after I was zipped up in one it would not come off. They had to literally cut me out of a dress as the zipper got stuck. Fast forwards I ordered a dress and on pick up day, I went to try on the dress and even though their was about 6 ladies in the front to help not one of them stoped their conversation to look up and assist me. I needed help zipping it up. The dress I was given was so wrinkled it looked it was stuffed in bottom of a box. When I said something about it, I was told that's just the way they come in 50 to a box. This whole experience did not leaving me wanting to go back. All they had to do was steam the dress and I would have considered going back for further purchase.

    Didn't know about this location in Santee which is located in a very busy shopping center, And very easy to get to off of mission gorge. I was able to park relatively close to the building, walk in and browse. While I had been to the one located in mission Valley this 1 was very elegant from the moment I walked in and the layout was welcoming. The dressing area is hidden and off to the back, which is unlike the 1 in mission Valley which is kind of out in the open. Honestly forgot even about the fitting rooms as I didn't see them while walking, until I was checking out a hallway that led to the dressing area. Once greeted staff was very friendly as they were organizing for the new requirements I'm guessing because of the bankruptcy. However she tried helping me look for a style of dress that I did not find on their website directly but through another website. This location has a backwall clearance which is well signed and easy to get to and rouse through the different sizes. Would highly recommend checking out this location as it is very clean, organized and stuff is very friendly and lets you browse without feeling pressured, but recommended to make an appointment if you're doing a bridal party.

    Overall, choosing a dress here was a pleasant experience. We were made to feel comfortable and were treated with respect and kindness. The 2 women who helped us were patient and helpful. There were many affordable dresses in the clearance section. However, we decided to look around and check out regularly priced selections as well. My niece tried on several dresses before narrowing down to and trying on her top 3 choices and ultimately making her final decision, which surprisingly, didn't take too long at all! I would definitely recommend this location as well as the women who work here. The perfect dress was chosen. Thank you so much, Nevaeh and Tracy. Your time, patience, and suggestions were all greatly appreciated!

    Andrea really made this day special for me. I've only been to a few weddings before, never been to a bridal fitting. I may not have showed it in the moment but this was a very emotional experience for me and I am so thankful Andrea was the one who showed such enthusiasm, kindness, and grace while I tried on my dresses. She took the time from the beginning to really understand and envision what I wanted and really helped me with my dress decision throughout the process. Throughout each try on she continuously asked me what I liked about each dress and just made me feel so comfortable and confident with each one. Thank you Andrea, this was a very beautiful experience for me and your genuine kindness made it 10x more memorable and personable. This picture speaks volumes. An absolute angel! Thank you so much for making this possibly stressful process the most wonderful and fun experience ever.

    Made an apportionment super easy, the women that helped me was awesome! She listened to what I was looking for, made some suggestions, helped in every way possible. Was very attentive to detail and was amazing! I knew what style I was looking for, but it can be very overwhelming with all the dresses. Try on a few and see what you like. Having too many opinions can be overwhelming. So go by yourself first, then bring your crew. I'm so pleased with my dress and the alterations they did. I would recommend this shop to anyone!

    Thanks to Beth and Haley at la Mesa David's bridal.

    I know they alter the brides dresses but do they also alter the bridesmaids dresses?

    Yes! Our alterations specialists are trained to alter any dresses we sell, including bridal, bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride/Groom, and even prom/social occasion styles.

    Do they do wedding dress preservation from dresses bought somewhere else? I used my dress 4 years ago, still in great condition but I hate to have it just sitting in my closet in a bag 😏 didn't buy from David's Bridal.

    Yes! We do!

    The man who owns this place was combative and mean! I've been going here for many years for hemming…read moremy families jeans, always dealing with the woman (wife?) Ive had no issues...until now. Weeks ago I brought in ten pair of jeans for my two teens. The woman told me there was no need for any trying on except one pair each and she'd hem all pairs based on that. I asked her to allow my kids to try each pair on as we've always done because each pant is different in style. She wouldn't allow that and insisted one pair pinned would be ok. I was reluctant but she insisted. Two weeks later we picked up and one kids pants were fine but the other, all five pair were 3 inches too long still and the written tag said "shorten to 28"." We took them back and the man (husband?) was pretty aggressive insinuating it was our fault they'd need to be redone. He took a yard stick and measured my sons inseam and it was 25"...not 28". He said his wife had been getting ready to leave town for a wedding and must've made a mistake on them. No problem, I was kind and gave him no timeline to repair them. I thanked him profusely and left. Today my son and I picked them up and the man met me with "she said it was your sons fault not hers, he asked for that length." What?! Why not just hand them to me and say have a good day?! I paid A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS for ten pairs of jeans to be hemmed. They were not done correctly by a professional and at pick-up you're going to look at my 14 year old and say "it's your fault!" Who's the professional?! Who's the one tasked with the pin that was placed?! Not the child! The yard stick doesn't lie! I called the man out on his gas lighting accusation at my son standing there and he got loud and began yelling, telling me to just get out. Their prices have DOUBLED but I paid it. I expected that the professional knew what she was doing and when there was a mistake, I expected it corrected. My son should not have been blamed at the counter for the fact that his pants were returned several inches too long, nobody asks for pants to be so long they can't walk. It was a mistake, just fix it! The yard stick showing 25" inseam vs the tags saying "shorten to 28" don't lie. Yelling at women, a child and customers in general isn't a good business practice. I will tell those I know to follow me elsewhere. I believe it was an honest mistake just due to having two different sized kids with two different hemming needs. My other sons were hemmed to a perfect 28" as he asked. I believe she did the same hem to both sets instead of the 28" and 25" that was needed. Her husband was mad and I think she blamed us so he wouldn't yell at her (I don't blame her!) Again, his yard stick and my tape measure along with the written tag she created...don't lie. Even if it is the customer's error, good practice is to just fix it in order to keep a customer who's been coming in for probably 8-10 years now! We will never go back, this man is a bully in my opinion. I am including photos of the fixed pants at the proper 25" inseam and the tag saying "shorten to 28". I'm also including my son's measured inseam showing how long 28" would be, nobody asks for that...it's the point of hemming! The error was not ours and we did not deserve to be told we were trying to scam this man, get free fixes and screamed at being told to just get out. Funny thing is, I had a $20 tip for him in my hand too for a mistake that was theirs! He didn't get it SHAME ON YOU SIR!
