**Brides Beware** Almost the exact thing happened to me when I ordered my wedding gown from this shop. The "consultant" ordered a dress that was too small for my measurement, never showed me a size chart and then when I went in to try it on, it was of course two sizes too small. They suggested that I had gained weight. That is not the way you want to feel in your wedding gown. We eventually had to go with another salon entirely. They also fumbled the bridesmaids gowns. Please try to find a place that is more trustworthy. It is added stress you do not need during wedding planning.

**BRIDES BEWARE** Ashley, no longer owns the store. No one told us she sold the store. We purchased my daughter's wedding dress (1/2 down) on January 19, 2008. We told them the wedding was July 26, 2008. My daughter asked them if the dress would arrive on time. She was told, "No problem, it should arrive in May." My daughter and I both called the store in May to check the status of the order. No dress. It had not arrived yet. Finally she got a call around June 20th. They said, "the dress is here, come in to "VISIT" the dress." So on June 27, we arrive at the store to see the dress. First, the girl at the store CAN'T zip the dress. She told my daughter that she had to find someone with stronger hands. Then my daughter saw the hem of the dress.. The hem was uneven and TOO SHORT. 3-4 inches TOO SHORT. They said they would only be able to lengthen the dress 1 inch. You could still see her ankles. Keep in mind it was just a month before the wedding! My daughter was then told they would

I have had the best expieriences with Bella Donna and the owner Ashley. It was welcoming and had a great selection of dresses at different price levels. It was at intimate setting with larger dressing rooms and the service was great. I ordered my dress and it came in right on time, they even had a nice place for my dad to come and sit down. I tried a lot of different area bridal stores and I found this one to be the best.
