The Andrew Jackson Bridal Co.

ause it was 3 sizes too big. I tried paying for my dress in February and they said it was already paid for in April. I’m not sure how that makes any sense but that’s these girls for you! I would not recommend unless you can decode stupid.

g what I like or don't like about specific dresses. I didn't find that service here.

e one! They also have deals on your bridesmaids' dresses and tuxes if you get your dress there.

ed up my dress and everything was perfect! The only problem we had was that the morning of our wedding we realized they had totally screwed up the ties that went with the tuxes. The ties they ordered were an awful shade of orange! Bride's nightmare! After talking with them they apologized but to the mix up. (Luckily) The ties we actually wanted were simple black so we had to have my father in law go out and buy all new ties for the men. I hate that we had this issue because they were so helpful and on point leading up to the big day.

). Half way into trying on dresses and my frustration with this woman is almost enough to make me find another salon but the only man working there came over and got the woman working just by his presence (I guess he is her boss I don't know) but a few dresses later she brought my dress to me. The alteration women were fast on my dress they charge 30 an hour and only took two hours for adding darts and hemming a mostly lace dress.

ng back to my hometown, Columbia, Mo., I tried on the dress again with my mother and knew it was the one. But, the dress, which was originally pretty expensive ($1,400) had went up an additional $100 (plus tax and alterations). This confused me because the dress was no longer new or "in season" and the store I went to wasn't very much help. My mother called around and finally found the dress at The Andrew Jackson. The sales ladies there were very nice and more than willing to help. They even suggested to my mom to wait a little while because (around Thanksgiving) the store has a sale where this particular dress would be 20% off, that would save me over $300 before taxes. Just the fact that the sales ladies told my mom about this sale told me that this was the store I wanted to buy my dress at. So, over the phone (during the sale) we ordered my dress, the ladies told me how to measure myself and even made a few suggestions since the dress I wanted was very fitted. I ended up driving 4 hours to Jackson, Mo. and 4 hours back in my dad's Corolla and saved a total of almost $400 even after paying for gas. I highly recommend The Andrew Jackson not only because the sales ladies are all about what YOU want and not their commission, but because they want to help you get the dress of your dreams. This store keeps its small town feel with personal touches but makes sure that it can compete with any big city shop.

und the dress I imagined, at the price I could barely believe, with service that was amazing. Thanks so much Andrew Jackson Bridal!! You all were great!
