Ready to ship

There are over 300 bridesmaid dresses to choose from at David's Bridal. You can quickly narrow down the options by selecting if you're looking for regular, plus, toddler, kid, or teen sizes. You can choose the color you're looking for, establish a price range, select the length, sleeve type, neckline, fabric, and brand. Many of the dresses are in stock and ready to ship, so you'll be waiting days instead of weeks for your dress to arrive.

Better selection on full-priced items

Most dresses at David's Bridal are between $60 and $150. Anything under $80 is considered on sale and we noticed when we clicked on these deeply-discounted dresses, a lot of times it was not available in the color displayed on the model. There are also few available sizes, with many items only being available in 3 or 4 of the 14 sizes. Because of this, you'll probably end up needing to buy a full-priced dress for closer to $100 if you want a good selection of colors and sizes.

7-day return policy

In the event that you need to initiate a return for your bridesmaid dress through David's Bridal, you have 7 days to do so once you've received your merchandise. If your item is in new, unused condition with the original tags, you'll receive a full refund in the form of your original payment. You can choose to purchase a $12.50 prepaid shipping label from David's Bridal or pay for your own return shipping. If you want to exchange your order, you have 60 days after the receipt of your merchandise to do so.

Angry customers

David's Bridal receives average reviews from customers and an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau. They've had a concerning number of people file complaints that have not been resolved by the business. Since David's Bridal has so many brick-and-mortar locations, you'll find that many customers report bad experiences in-store. Some say they had issues with having to get their dress altered by the store one too many times and the people on the sales floor were grumpy or rude. Customers who shopped online mostly complained about having difficulties receiving refunds for orders they had to send back due to sizing issues or other problems with their order.

Try a higher-rated retailer

Overall, David's Bridal is a popular place to shop because they are well-known and have so many locations. Most of the time it seems people were frustrated when trying to reach customer service or they had issues with the return policy being unclear. We recommend reading through all the store policies before deciding to purchase here. However, the amount of people who have had bad experiences leads us to recommend that customers first look at a higher-rated retailer for bridesmaid dresses.
