Insensitive, inattentive and disappointing.
by mninbellevue
I went to La Belle Reve twice. The first time, I enjoyed the experience and found their staff insightful and very good and I thought I found the perfect dress. The second time I went back with the intention to purchase. I hadnt been to any other bridal shops, nor did I want to go anywhere else. When I arrived, I explained what I wanted and the attendant I worked with was less engaged and less attentive than the previous associate I had worked with. After finding 3 dresses that I liked, in addition to the dress I saw the last time I visited, I was told that because my wedding is in May, I would need to rush order my dress... OK, thats understandable, I would be more comfortable having my dress sooner rather than later. Then the attendant told me that I would need to pay an extra 10% because I was "probably a size 20, at least." Ouch, that was insensitive, especially since I hadnt even been measured. I understand wedding dresses run small, but size 20 is 8 sizes larger than the clothes I wear. I have worked hard to lose weight and I am still trying. I thought bridal stores were in business to make women feel beautiful and helping them get ready for their big day. I was really disappointed that La Belle Reve seemed to miss the point of buying a bridal gown was to feel gorgeous. The attendant then announced that her next appointment had arrived and she'd email me to let me know what the cost of the three gowns I chose as well as the delivery time. The email never came and they did have my phone number, so I guess my business didnt matter. This week, I purchased the dress I liked the first time I was at La Belle Reve from I Do Bridal, in a size 16, not a 20. I wouldnt suggest La Belle Reve to my worst enemy because no one deserves to feel like a fat, hopeless bride who wont find a wedding dress in time for their big day. They have no clue how to deliver unpleasant information and they should really learn some tact when selling to less than perfectly built brides.
- Pros: Convenient location, good parking
- Cons: Clueless, insensitive staff, lack follow through

Great at first..
by annabotoole
When I first went in customer service was awesome. After i found and ordered my dress it was still great and they were very helpful. When my dress came in however, the people who had helped me before no longer worked there and the customer service went down from there. I had wanted to alter the dress and had discussed it with the former employees that said it would be no problem, but these new employees did not understand what I wanted. The owner was there a few times and very helpful, but each time I would go in there would be a new girl who had no idea what I was talking about. Eventually it worked out and my dress was beautiful, (the seamstress is very talented) but there was a lot of stress. Hopefully the customer service goes back to the way it was last year, because they have great dresses.
- Pros: Great selection of dresses
- Cons: Speak in Russian about you, in front of you

the best wedding gown ever!
by MelodyParker
I have always dreamed of having the perfect wedding. I became engaged this past Christmas. My boyfriend proposed to me on the day after Valentine?s Day. Boy was I surprised! He put the ring in a box of chocolates! Before I did anything? Before I found a reception hall?Before I made a guest list?The very first I had to find was the right dress. I went to three bridal stores in Seattle and I was so disappointed. I had heard of La Belle Reve through a friend of my Mom?s. The store was so beautiful and I liked the sales girl a lot. I found my favorite gown of all in my first visit. I picked a gown by Madina Vadache. It is Silk Stretch Charmeuse Halter dress, very slender and close fiting with Chantilly Lace and silk ribbon trim. To me, fashion is everything. I just love this dress!!! This is the most important day of my life! I will love the photos of me wearing this dress forever.
- Pros: I just love this store!
- Cons: I couldn't find it at first with all the construction across the street
