Editorial Review for Trudy's Brides – by Atoosa Savarnejad
In Short
The boutique carries an impressive selection of dresses in a variety of styles. Bodice styles range from short sleeves to off-the-shoulder numbers, strapless, spaghetti strap, plain or beaded. Because of the sizable selection of materials, you can go with satin if you don't care for the organza, or with something simple, like a straight-style chiffon gown. Most dresses come in white or ivory.

Re: my review, below, this situation was redeemed by Lauren Irick, from Trudy's. She was so helpful and wonderful. It ends up Heather mis-measured me (by 1.5-2 inches!) which is why my dress was too tight. Lauren arranged a 90% refund on the cost of the dress. I am buying another dress from David's Bridal, which fits perfectly and will arrive in ONE WEEK, at no xtra charge to me. If you go to Trudy's, request to work with Lauren Irick - she's really great. And make sure to have at least 2 different people take your measurements. -----------------------Prior Review-------------------- "I thought I found my dream dress - but it was size 6 and way too small. I could barely breathe. Heather took my measurements, and said a size 8 would be perfect. I was like, are you sure? This is so tight! But she assured me an 8 would be fine - she is supposed to be the professional, so I trusted her judgment. When my dress arrived, it was way too tight. And Heather's response was "this is what you ordered!" and was very defensive. I don't know what to do. My wedding is in 6 weeks, and after reading these reviews, I think I'm screwed!!!!!! This dress is not wearable. I'm really screwed."
Pros: Staffperson Lauren Irick
Cons: Inaccurate measuring, pushy, read fine print in contract

I went into Trudy's looking for pink shoes, or to dye shoes pink. The two women at the desk inquired what I was looking for and I said that I needed pink bridal shoes. The older woman giggled sarcasticly and said "They don't make pink bridal shoes, you have to buy white ones and dye them pink". I was taken aback, but responded "Then I would like to see your white shoes." So she walked me to the shoe display and giggled again and said "Did you REALLY think they CAME in pink?!" At this point I was insulted. First of all, it's probably not a good business tactic to treat the customer like an idiot. Secondly, in a bridal/prom store, why is it so ridiculous for someone to be looking for pink shoes? To top it off, I learn that this woman is Trudy. So she leaves me there and tells me if I want to try a size on, to bring the display shoe to the front and someone will get me my size. So I do that, and I find one I like very much. BUT, I then find out they will not dye it for me! As I was leaving, I overheard Trudy on the phone at the register, speaking rudely to someone else! I'm so glad I didn't look for dresses there.
