Was very interested to read your post as I’ve just come back from an appointment at Browns myself.

This was about the 7th bridal shop I’d been too and I wanted to try on some expensive dresses to have a comparison to other dresses I’ve tried on and to see if there were any difference.

The service I got was lovely…a really nice assistant who was very accommodating (yes we can change sash, put on different buttons, order the same lace as the dress to make sleeves etc) and friendly.

The place, though perfect in every detail, seemed a bit ‘dead’ to me and lacking life and I’d hoped the experience would be more luxurious than it was (water is fine but could we at least stretch to a hot drink or heaven forbid a glass of wine). For the price you’re willing to spend I don’t think that would be too much to ask.

I had expected the more expensive dresses to have a higher degree of workmanship but while the fabric and lace on the dresses was beautiful, I was surprised to find almost none of the dresses had corsetry!

Anyway I didn’t find my dress here but in a little shop in Exeter.

Just thought I’d share my experiences!
