Highly recommend finding somewhere else to go for your prom dress that isn't modern brides in Huntsville. We took my daughter's prom dress there for alterations on Feb 17 and the lady (the owner) was rude and unprofessional during the alterations and acted like we were a burden to her. We had never had anything altered before and she made us feel dumb for not knowing the terms she was using. Anyways we were told the dress would be ready a week before prom. I called March 4th to make sure the dress would be ready and to see if there was anyways to pick up before a week before prom and was told it'll be "about a week before prom and they would be calling and sending me a message when it's ready." I told them we live an hour and a half away and have few days we'd be able to pick it up due to practices, tournaments, work, and them closing at 5 during the week. She just said again they would message me when alterations are done. I never heard back so I called last week and was told it still wasn't ready and they would message me when it's ready. A week til prom (March 16) comes and goes and still hear nothing. So I called them Tuesday (March 19th and prom is the 23rd) and was told they just got done pressing it. 4 days before prom, not a week. She asked if we wanted a final fitting but at that point it was so close to prom and we couldn't leave it and come back another day we just had to bring it home if something was wrong. We were assured since the only alterations needed were straps took up and hemmed to floor length that it would be perfect. So I took the girl at her word. Big mistake. Tuesday was one of the days we couldn't go pick it up so we went Wednesday right after school and got there about 4:30 due to traffic. We got home last night and she tried it on and of course the straps are not taken up correctly and they are uneven. I called and spoke with the lady that did the alterations and she said the dress had been done for a while and I should have gotten a message. I told her I never got a call or message and only knew it was done because I called Tuesday and was then told they just got done with it. I told her it was altered wrong and was requesting a refund and she only offered 20 dollars. I advised 20 wouldn't even cover the cost of emergency alterations to be done today because we can't make it back to Huntsville today or tomorrow in time before they close. She said that is all they can do. I asked for half of the alterations to help cover to cost to have her mistakes fixed and she refused. She said that is what the final fitting is for but keep in mind I didn't take it because her girl up front told me it would be perfect. She ended up hanging up on me because I wouldn't accept her 20 dollars and was requesting half. I feel half of the 120 to fix would have been sufficient. She was very unprofessional and rude. Now my daughters dress is wrong 2 days before prom because of they were unorganized and their lack of communication. She never admitted the alterations were wrong during the call only said the straps weren't altered enough. They're uneven and still too long... That's wrong. But yeah proceed with caution or avoid this place all together. And check your dresses for pins left in during the alteration process. I pulled 5 out of the bottom of the dress too. Also after further review of the bottom of the dress on the mesh layers, it looks like a shark bit the bottom off. Very jagged and uneven. I could have done a better job myself making the lines straighten and saved the 120 I spent on alterations.

Modern Brides is the place to go when you need a wedding dress. This was the first store on my list to try. I was trying to find a wedding dress within one week. The ladies made me feel so special when trying on the dresses. And when I put on dress number 2, I knew that was it. It fit like a glove and was beautiful and perfect. They were also able to do alterations and were able to get it hemmed within 3 days of me getting married. I will recommend this place over and over again.

Modern Brides made me feel so special. I have no family, so no one went with me. They all made me feel so special and like I was part of their family. These young girls and Mrs. Pat made me feel so important. I’m a plus size girl also and I still was made to feel important and BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU so much. I’ll never forget this experience. Oh and by the way this is my second marriage and they never judged me. ?

I’ve always had good experiences with Modern Brides. I found my perfect prom dress there 20 years ago and purchased my bridesmaid dress there for my friend’s wedding several years ago, so I knew they would be my first stop when I started looking for my wedding dress. I had an amazing experience and found my wedding dress here the very first day! The knowledgeable staff asked all the right questions and asked for inspiration pictures to assist me in finding the right dress. I would absolutely recommend Modern Brides to anyone looking for their wedding dress or special occasion dress!

These ladies are very helpful in helping you choose your dress and accessories to go along with it to make you feel beautiful on your special day. Miss Pat is very helpful and will make you look absolutely amazing, tailored to fit you perfectly. I was mother of the bride and she fixed it to fit perfectly.

Ms. Pat was so honest and knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process. Even though I ended up getting my dress elsewhere, I had her alter it because I knew she would give me the feedback and quality I needed. A+++

Five stars aren't enough to describe Ms. Pat and the team at Modern Brides! I wish there was a 10 star option! For years, we've trusted Modern Brides for formal wear. After our daughter's engagement, it was the first place we went to look for a wedding gown and I'm so glad we didn't go anywhere else. Pat is patient, kind and a marvel when it comes to alterations. She wasn't satisfied until the gown was perfect. Modern Brides will always be our first choice - make it yours too. You won't be disappointed.

I said yes to my dress at Modern Brides and it was an GREAT experience. The staff is the absolute BEST. They worked with me and listened to my vision and made it come true. They also offer alterations which is very convenient and made my dress & reception outfit fit perfectly. The owner and manager and all the staff are phenomenal and will do anything to help their customers. They don’t just cater to brides. Prom, tuxes, suits, mother of the bride/groom, bridesmaids, flowers girls, accessories, you name it they got it.

I do not suggest any bride to even put this on your list of stops. Both women were extremely rude to our bride and made her feel les dog herself on what was supposed to be a *memorable* day… thanks to Birch on Main we found a wedding dress and they saved the day that the two women at this store made a horrible day for our bride.
