Danelle's bridal brags on their website that they are different from other bridal stores because they sell only designer gowns. I find this very hard to believe as my wedding gown and ALL my bridemaid's gowns have a tag in them that say MADE IN CHINA!! Really?! So the designers are out of CHINA?! The bridesmaid's dresses were all "custom order" yet every one of my girls has had to have MAJOR alterations done to their dresses. When I called the store to address how poorly fitted my girls were for their dresses all that Danelle's did was fall back on their extensive contract. They need that contract because they intentionally poorly fit people so they will have to pay ridiculous amounts of money on alterations at Danelle's. I was not impressed by the way they try to nickle and dime you at every turn...a rush charge here...a rush charge there...oh you need to order now or you won't get them...yet 2 weeks later the dress appears and they want their money. I am not impressed with their gowns that are "custom" made in CHINA!! The material is cheap and all my bridesmaid's need new zippers put in their dresses because the zippers are SO cheap they are ruining the appearance of the dress. They make a killing of brides and bridal parties and feel no shame in taking your money and running. I'm sure it's really affordable to get dresses from CHINA!! I would have been just as well off to head to a Asian bridal store in the mall...at least their prices reflect their product. I would never recommend a bride go there and I will take time to review their shop on every site I can. I also plan to write a letter to the KNOT and tell them what a horrible experience I had with Danelle's and how I cannot believe they awarded them ANYTHING!
