Sadly, I did not have a positive experience at Malmrose Bridal, in fact, it was not fun at all and my bridal party and I were actually extremely disappointed. This is not a 1 star rating but I'm required to select at least one in order to post this review. I went into this experience thinking I would end up getting my dress here since we bought my daughter's dress here last year and it was a positive experience for us. However, with my daughter, the owner was there and she made the difference. I made an appointment several days in advance and was asked to provide photos of dresses I was interested in that I'd found online, as well as my size and budget. I did this and provided about a dozen pictures. I expected to go in and for my consultant to have dresses ready for me. When we arrived, they again asked my budget, size and dress styles I liked, and was then taken back to a dressing room where I was asked to sit down on a stool in the dressing room and the young lady asked me to tell her about myself. I understand she was trying to make it personal, but it didn't feel genuine and actually felt awkward. I undressed, was measured, and was asked to wear gloves while I tried on dresses since they are all 'take home ready' is what I was told (my daughter was not asked to wear gloves). Then another girl brought two dresses. I asked to not try on the first one because it was not even within the style of dress I liked, even though I sent multiple pics and again explained what I liked when I arrived. I tried on the second dress and it was okay but not my size (it was much larger) and it had to be pinned in the back. This was also a point of contention because my understanding was that Malmrose carries dresses in all sizes, however, I didn't find that to be the case at all. They wouldn't even fasten the buttons up in the back and I was told it was because they didn't want it to stretch the elastic (not sure how that would happen when the dress was larger than I was). They had to call in another girl to pin it (I had 3 girls total, all doing different things, one getting dresses, one putting dresses away and measuring me, and the third who would pin in the back). It's hard to see how a dress will look on you when it's huge. I was brought two more dresses, one was $500 over my budget and I tried on the second. Again, they would not fasten it up in the back and only pinned it. I didn't love either dress I tried on. By now, it had been 40 minutes and I had only tried on two dresses. I stood waiting in the dressing room for long periods as I waited for the young girl to find a dress. I asked if it was possible to speed things up a little and I was asked to put on a little robe and walk around the store and find a dress myself, which I was shocked about. I'm glad no one else was in the store but us because I was not fully dressed. Again, I thought they would have dresses ready for me based on the pics I sent. I found one dress I was semi-interested in and didn't end up trying it on because it was a size 22 and much larger than me, once again. I thought there would be dresses in all sizes, but I was wrong. I tried on one more dress after that and was then told that was all they had for me to try on. So, I got dressed and was extremely happy to get out of there. The young girls did not seem to be prepared, or honestly, to really care about making the experience fun. It just seemed like they felt like they were there just to do a job and didn't have any passion about what they were doing. It was a terrible experience and I would not recommend Malmrose Bridal. We ended up going back to Mary's Bridal and purchased an amazing dress there and it was a fantastic experience!! I would highly recommend Mary's Bridal! They care and are extremely passionate about making the experience as amazing as the dress! read more
