Schaffer's Bridal & Formal

great to work with and very friendly. alterations were a little exspensive.

I purchased my dress from Schaffer's on my very first day of looking and knew I had the perfect dress. They were very easy to get scheduled for fittings, however, I had 4 alterations appts throughout the process which was confusing at times because a different consultant helps you each time. I think this could have been eliminated if the consultant that sold me the dress could have helped for the whole process. They were all nice, just made for confusion on what was being done during my alterations. At one alteration fitting there appeared to be 2 small holes on the front of my dress that should never have gotten there, those were able to be smoothed out and made less noticeable. The day I picked up my dress I noticed there were then 3 small white "chalk" looking marks on the satin, but they assured me it wasn't chalk and it was steamed and pressed out. Because it was raining that day the owner was kind and let us pull up to the store entrance and he more than willingly ran my dress out to our car for us to keep it as dry as possible! That was very appreciated and beyond his duties. They were great all in all and my dress looked wonderful!

I found my dream dress, in my budget, at Schaffers. My family lives in Des Moines and on a whim I went with my sister to look at gowns. Ali was so helpful and patient, showing us dresses that I could afford & that were form flattering. I purchased a sample Maggie Sottero lace& satin dress, that had never been worn for under $1k.The dress was beautiful but the neckline was just not quite right. Emily, Autumn & Schaffers alteration team got to work, crafting a new neckline out of lace & satin that looks like it had always been there. There was a small mishap with a small area of the back of my dress. Schaffers was quick, thorough and completely professional.

I loved working with Schaffer's and drove to Des Moines fromt the Chicago area in order to work with them. Their selection was very comparable to anything that I saw in Chicago and their prices and taxes were much lower. All of the girls there made me feel very special.

The team at Schaffer's was wonderful! I found my pronovias dress on the first round and couldn't have been more happy. I had about 5 fittings and a bustle redo and the team at Schaffer's never let me down. The day of the wedding the dress was perfectly steamed and exactly what I imagined. My wedding shoes also purchased at Schaffer's were quite comfortable too! The guy's tuxes looked sharp and were exactly what we ordered. Hal's help on pre-wedding made all the orders accurate and we didn't have to waste anytime during the busy wedding weekend. Thanks to all at Schaffer's for making our wedding party beautiful!

Schaffers was SO easy to work with - very professional and helpful! I LOVED my Monique Lhuillier dress from here and was so happy to have the wonderful staff at Schaffers to work with through the wedding planning!

Schaffer's had a wonderful selection of dresses and tuxedos for my husband and I. We both got exactly what we wanted and were very pleased! The alterations on my dress were $500, but well worth it once we saw the finished product!

Love them!! Faythe and her daughter, Sara are excellent to work with. They can do alterations on a dress you bought someplace else or they can custom make anything to your liking. If you are looking for a unique dress, definitely check out their website!! I had an idea in mind but did not have pictures to go with it. With Faythe's help, we sketched out exactly what I was looking for and she created it in no time!! I definitely recommend them!!

I was visiting relatives and decided to look in a few shops while I was there. Although you need an appointment they helped me anyway and even shipped the dress to me when it arrived. I would highly recommend them.

The bride got exactly what she wanted. The designer was slow in making in dress, but Schaffer's was very good in accommodating the situation.
