I highly recommend Addy's Bridal. I dropped in for a consultation 1 year ago, and when the time came to buy, sought them out again.
I visited Addy's Bridal 1 year ago to talk about what kind of dresses I should buy for my body type. Even though I did not have an appointment, they talked to me for 20-30 min. and showed me some styles to try in the future, as well as recommended which designers they had that were closer to my price range. They were the only place I went to that gave me the time of day since I did not have a wedding date set at that time. 1 year later, I made an appointment to try on dresses at Addy's. They actually took the time to fit the dresses properly and made suggestions and gave honest opinions when asked. Addy came out a couple of times when we found a dress I really liked. I liked Addy's frankness, which I attribute to a different cultural upbringing, which I find refreshing. Unlike other bridal stores where dresses keep piling up and sales associates are afraid to make anything but unclear, obscure, and tentative statements, Addy's Bridal really helps narrow down the choices, so I walked out of there with 2 dresses that were my ""love its"". I am going back next week to finalize my choice.
By the way, I am not a thin girl, but they managed to suit me up in dresses that were 2 times smaller than my regular size, so I could get a really good idea of what the dress would look like on me. (Though this does not work for well for form fitting dresses.)
