Are bridal gown salons allowed...?

Are bridal gown salons allowed to not tell you who the designer of a dress is? I tried a dress on and asked who the designer was and they refused to tell me. I can understand not taking picures, but this seems ridiculous to me. Plus I'm not going to part with thousand of dollars if I don't know exactly what I am buying.


Are they allowed to do this? Are bridal gown salons allowed...?
I'm sure they can refuse to tell you, however you can look at the tag. If there isn't a tag, this should raise an alarm. I've read about stores removing the tags. This is actually illegal. If they have removed them, they should be reported and you should definitely not buy anything from them. Are bridal gown salons allowed...?
it's not like it's necessarily illegal, you can't report them to the police, but I'm sure the designer of the dress wouldn't appreciate not getting credit! don't buy your dress from them, that's not a good business practice. also report them to the BBB- they could be selling knock off dresses at designer prices which is a bait and switch type of situation the BBB would love to know about I'm sure. the BBB or chamber of commerce in your area will know the most recommended best bridal shops where you live.
Its their business so I would guess they could do whatever they want with regards to the information.





I think their fear is that you will take that information and then order the gown off the internet rather than from them.





Perhaps you could say it as you have here ';I want to know the designer of the gown, I would still order it from you, but I'm not going to order it unless I know where it comes from';.
I am pretty sure as private businesses they can do whatever they want in that regard. If they tell you the designer and you leave and find it elsewhere, they have no protection for the time and energy they may have already put into you. i think it is stupid, but I understand from a business perspective why they would do it.
It's illegal. It is also illegal to rip out the tags. They are not allowed because of deceptive business practice laws. Report them to the better business bureau and find another salon to go to. They can do a bait and switch or sell you a knock off.
Well, of course, they could be knock-offs. If you're truly after a specific designer, just go elsewhere and pay the big bucks for the name.
I would think not.....when you have a chance sneek a peek at the tag or use your cell phone camera. It's your money and if your spending that much; I would find a salon that will cater to YOU! Congrats on you wedding
I would get a little bit more info on the dress becuase they could be giving you a knock off of a knock of and charging you designer price!!! Congrats on the wedding
no, they should give you all the info you require, you pay for anything it suddenly becomes YOUR business.
