LOWS BRIDAL AND FORMAL

I found a beautiful dress here. They were very helpful but not too overbearing. They let my family and I pick out dresses that we knew were the style we wanted instead of just guessing. Ended up finding a dress for a VERY good price and got a discount since I ordered it off the rack. They had to ship it to Colorado since I live there (from Arkansas originally) and it was there in less than a week.

I purchased my wedding gown and veil from Low's (as did my sister a few years before me). We were both very pleased with the service at Low's. My consultant was so sweet and really worked well with me. She could tell after I tried a few sale dresses that they weren't going to work! They also work good to stay within the budget you give them. She wasn't showing me gowns way out of my budget which was nice.

I have very mixed emotions when writing this review - the best way I know to explain is to break it down by what I was purchasing.Bridesmaids dresses - Lows was wonderful! I live in Oklahoma so my girls couldn't come in to be fitted but each one simply filled out the form and I called it in. Simple enough. If we had questions on anything Cathy, my bridesmaids dress rep, was more than helpful! The dresses came in two weeks earlier than they had estimated and they were beautiful! I had shopped around quite a bit and Lows had the lowest price by far!Wedding dress - The final, correct product was beautiful beyond words and fit like a glove! I didn't need a single alteration! The problem was that it took a few tries to get it right and therefore made for some very big timing problems. I ordered the dress in champagne, it came in peach. They called and ask if that was ok, I said no so they sent it back. I did eventually get the correct dress but it was wayyyyyyyyy behind schedule. My wedding dress consultant, Goldie, was a little more aggressive than I would have liked. I narrowed down the choices to two dresses and I originally picked a large ballgown style dress, my mother and I went to lunch and I wasn't just crazy excited so we went back to Lows and asked to try on both dresses one more time. Goldie refused to let me and told me I didn't need to confuse myself, that 9 times out of 10 your first decision is the right decision. While I am sure she is usually right this was not the case this time. We decided to have her hold off on placing the order. My mom and I came back (a 5 hour drive in one direction) a week later and I didn't even waste my time trying on the ballgown, the more form fitting dress was definitely more my style! I was very pleased with the final product but I felt that my dress purchasing experience was made much more difficult, stressful and much less enjoyable since I wasn't able to just go try the dresses on again and then that it came in not even close to the correct color. Therefore, I have very mixed emotions in my review. I can say confidently that you won't find a store with a bigger selection and variety of prices! They had sooooo many dresses!

I bought my Maggie Sottero dress here. They were great to work with and got my dress shipped safely to me earlier than expected.

I purchased my wedding dress from Low's. The staff was professional and friendly, allowing me plenty of time to choose the perfect gown. I had no problems with any steps of the process and was very happy with the quality of my gown!

I purchased my dress at Lows, but only because I got a good price. I was really disappointed with their service. My consultant rushed me and really wasn't showing me the types of dresses or styles I was asking for. When you have such a limited amount of time, you want to see the dresses you ask for, rather than other "filler" dresses while she's chatting with other people. After I bought the dress I called about care instructions for the dress and the consultant was rude and unhelpful. My suggestion--find your dress elsewhere and just buy it here if the price is better because they aren't useful with finding a dress (or at least Nancy isn't).

I had a great experience finding my dress. Everyone was very helpful and honest when picking out the perfect dress!

This is every girl's dream wedding dress shop! The staff were very friendly and my personal consultant, Ms. Regina, was an angel! She was very attentive, honest, and helped me to pick the dress of my dreams! She was so sweet. Words can't express how grateful I am to her for how helpful and friendly she was to my family and I! :)

Huge selection, GREAT prices and you get the dress so quickly!!

This place was HEAVEN on earth!!! As soon as you walk in, there are 100s of dresses to look at on display. No need to look through the plastic bag!! They were overwhelming friendly and really help you make the right decision toward the dress that fits you!!! I can't wait until I have a daughter someday just so I can take her to Low's to buy her wedding dress!!! =)

AMAZING! very helpful!! found the one on my first visit!

I must say that Lows has a HUGE selection of dresses! They had many couture designers as well. The only drawback is the did not have the specific dress I was looking for at the time. I ended up choosing something else, and I have had so many compliments on how beautiful and original it was! I would for sure try Lows when looking for a dress. I drove 4 hours, but it is was well worth it!

I got a beautiful dress, and they had a wide selection (at least in sizes 2-6, if not above 16), but the experience itself was fairly wretched. I am an apparel designer, but when I mentioned getting a dress hemmed to tea length, the uninformed and rude sales associate said that I couldn't hem it because it would unravel. This is the same woman who told me that she didn't know where Northwest Arkansas was when I asked for a referral to a seamstress in the area. I loved the dress I got, but if I had been able to go elsewhere for the kind of dress I wanted, I would have.

I was so excited to find my perfect dress at Low's. The day I bought my dress was perfect - the consultant I worked with was wonderful. However, after I purchased my dress I was given an expected arrival date. The day came and went, and I still had not heard from Low's. We called the store 3 weeks in a row only to be told that the dress was scheduled to arrive the next week. With my wedding only 4 weeks away, we finally got them to agree to letting me take the floor sample because my dress could not be assured to arrive in time. When we were at the store to pick up the floor sample, we were treated very rudely. We paid for a new dress, and were given nothing for walking out the door with a floor sample. Just make sure that you communicate clearly what you want and find out when your dress will be in!!

I really enjoyed my experience there. I found a dress that fit without alterations needed for a great price. It was well worth the 2 hour drive.

I went into Low's not knowing a thing about the style of dress I wanted. I got everything and more I wanted out of Low's they were wonderful with working with me. I hope they are still in business so I can take my children there one day. My sister bought her dress and a hair piece from there for her wedding and I was able to wear the hair piece in my wedding as well.

I loved that this store had a full room of dresses just in my size range and price. And by full room I mean likely over 200+ dresses and not in the pencil thing section. We worked with a single consultant (appointment required). And after trying on over 20 dresses I found the perfect one. The consultant stayed with me even after my time slot was over. She did what she could to find me a dress and make the sale. My only complaint was scheduling of my appointment. We went during their sale and when the appointment was made, even though they asked what my size range would be, they scheduled two women in the same size range with only one dressing room. The first 1/2 of my appointment I had to use one of the smaller dress selection rooms. Over all I loved my dress and received many complements. And thought it was worth the drive.

I found a beautiful dress only to find out that I was unable to order it. I had to buy the one off the floor. Unfortunately, the dresses are being made in China now and the quality of the dress was poor. It has chain link stitches which unravelled everywhere. I spent a couple of weeks hand stitching the dress back together. The missing beads were not a problem to replace but when I told the bridal store about the dress, they said they could not give me anymore discounts on the dress. They did however send $50 to me to compensate for having to repair the dress myself. Also, the dress length was too long and even after I had someone alter it for me, I was still stepping all over the front and crushed all the bead work. BUY EARLIER THAN 4 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING!!!!

I selected my dress approximately 3 months before my wedding date. If I had known of Low's policy beforehand, I would have selected a dress much earlier. Low's has many beautiful dresses, but the newer styles, which are on all the mannequins when you walk in must be ordered months in advance. You can't even try on a floor sample unless you have the time to pre-order. Not to mention the five dollar fee just to have the privilege of a sales associate. I was taken to an upstairs room with "sale" dresses. Many seemed to be on sale because of their nonstandard color or out of style look, not to mention the frustration of sizing with some of those dresses. I ended up selecting a dress downstairs that was not on sale after much frustration and disappointment. The dress shopping experience I had envisioned at Low's was not to be a reality. My sales associate, although nice, was not very helpful and had no opinion. Perhaps they are trained this way? I was expecting a professional who could lead me into something based on the style of my wedding, my personality and figure, etc. I did find a beautiful dress there though, but now that I think of it, it was quite expensive for just one night and a few hours. There veils are also outrageously priced. I found similar online and in other stores for less than half the minimum $300 they were asking.

There so busy you only get an hour to shop, so the best thing is to have a vision of what your wanting, like pictures. You can even call ahead and see if they have particular dress in stock. Great with measurements, ordering, and setting you up for alterations.
