Review of Yvonne's Bridal

I am not one to write reviews, but I do not want the disaster I went through to happen to another bride. Luckily, I am very easy going, laid back, and wasn't allowing anything to ruin my wedding day. I went to Yvonne's to try on dresses with my Mother in law and Sister in law. I walked in and was treated wonderfully. They made the whole experience very personal and made me feel extremely special. I wasn't expecting to find my dress that day but fortunately, I did. I bought the dress February 2nd, and picked it up a few weeks later. My dress never left the Garment bag until August when I took my dress to be altered by a local seamstress. She asked me if I had bought my dressed used. I was under the impression my dress was NOT used. She then proceeds to point out all the damages to my dress. There was multiple holes, the tags were so worn out from being washed multiple times, you couldn't read anything they said. The inside of the dress was stained with sweat marks and spray tan sweat. There was also black spots under the top layer of lace. My seamstress had to wash my dress TWICE and then a THIRD TIME by hand just to make it shine like it did. When I told her where I got it, she had said she has had gowns brought in from there before and the brides have had issues as well. There was also missing hooks. Now, I LOVE my dress, but I also paid $1400 for it. Which is absolutely ridiculous for the condition it was in. Not to mention, way more than what the actual retailer was selling a dress for. THANK GOD for Marylyn Sewing in Freehold, NY, who worked so hard and made my dress perfect for me. You are not allowed to go in the back of the boutique at Yvonne's to browse their dresses..an employee brings dresses for you to try on. They have gorgeous gowns, but be cautious and very observant of your dress before you buy.
