Don't buy a dress for your most important day from Ivory bridal!!! I wish I hadn't and when I walked down the isle I felt sad because my dress was a mess!
The purchase of my dress was alright. They had a decent selection and it is a pretty little studio. However, when I ordered it, I asked to order a pretty fabric/crystal belt for my dress and when it came in, it was the wrong colour completely and I never realized until I was in MEXICO the day before my wedding. Fail! Also, they sent me to their alterations lady who lived in a small house 30 minutes away. Her sewing room seemed nice and there were pictures of dresses everywhere, she was older and I figured that since she was recommended by Ivory bridal, and she had experience, I wasn't worried. WRONG! I picked up my dress, a week before my trip to Mexico and it was RUINED! The rosettes were taken apart and put together totally poorly, it was WAY shorter in the front than in the back and it dragged on one side...I was SHOCKED! I cried and cried and asked her what she was thinking and if she had ever altered a dress before. It was completely ruined. I called Ivory and they weren't very empathetic and said that they used this lady all the time and that she was very good...WHAT?! She ruined my dress! So, they sent me to another womans house...not any kind of professional and said they would cover the cost for me. Of course you will! So, I drove an hour away to another little house and she sort of fixed my ruined dress. It looked better but it was still awful. I flew to Mexico the next day to be married. I cried for days because of Ivory bridal. ALSO...When I hung my dress the day before the wedding, I noticed that the belt ($400) wasn't the only thing that was a HUGE mistake by Ivory...my veil was supposed to be finger tip length and it was a GIANT cathedral veil...so I never got to wear a veil at all. I was crying again. I say please please go somewhere else. I HATE Ivory bridal for ruining my special day. read more
