“Leeds and Huddersfield Mia Sposa”
Written on: 29/09/2012
I met the Leeds Mia Sposa team at a wedding fair in Harrogate this is a family run business who also own the huddersfield Mia Sposa. All seemed well and i was dealt with in a professional way at the show, having tried on a dress i liked i later decided to go ahead and purchase the dress, i live in Middlesbrough and could have sourced the dress a lot closer but i wanted a friendly professional service and decided it would be worth the journey to leeds for the experience.

“Awful experience”
Written on: 04/04/2012
I bought my bridal gown from Mia Sposa Leeds and also my 3 bridesmaids dresses. At first everything was great until I realised the dress I tried on was a size 14 and was a perfect fit although needed taken in slightly around the bust. You can imagine my horror to find out the dress they had ordered for me was a size 12 so a whole dress size smaller. The manager blamed me for putting on weight despite losing 5 pounds since I ordered the dress. She was damn right rude and made life very... (read more)

I've spend £900 for my wedding dress in Pronuptia in Central London-they are now under the name MIA SPOSA bridal& Menswear- very conveniently considering all of the bad reviews they were receiving!
They took my measurements, and after couple of months they have called me saying that the dress is ready and ask me to come for my first fitting. I went there with my friend, although we did arrived much earlier than our appointed time, we thought that we can ask if they can see us earlier just...

Wow thats really terrible, When spending large amounts of money you should expect nothing but first class service and treatment. I wish i had the money to have my own shop, ive worked in fashion and teach it now, its prob too late now but i would suggest you find a local seamstress who would charge less.
I have strated a website for ladies to buy and sell their gowns etc.. take a peek www.lovedboutique.com / www.lovedprom.com xx

I just need to say how happy I was with the service my friend and I received in their Grimsby store today. The 2 girls working upstairs were soooooooo nice. The gave their time and attention to meet all my friends requirements. Nothing was too much trouble including additional accessories. They were attentive, truthful and happy. They seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. Thanks for a pleasant experience and helping my friend to find the perfect dress. Excellent! (read more)

The dresses where meant to arrive start of December and came 6 days before the shop shuts before Christmas.
I arranged for my fitting explaining I would be late due to work commitments travelled over an hour and when I arrived the shop was shut. When...

This 'customer' was offered several alternative appointments for fittings, including weekends (when fittings are not normally undertaken) and after normal hours when the shop was shut. Having accepted the latter, she failed to arrive for her appointment and did not have the courtesy to phone advising she was going to be late. 35 minutes after she was due the owner gave up and went home (she has a life as well). This 'review' is a fabrication of events. Since when does 'good service' mean hanging around for someone on the off chance they might turn up? It is telling that the Bride had nothing but praise for the service she received...

Pronuptia HUDDERSFIELD is the best place to go for both value for money and the service.

The ladies who have served me throughout my dress process have been excellent and so helpful.

I went to pronuptia in South Woodford after visiting the Barnardo's charity shop for Brides (amazing). Pronuptia was a really cold uncomfortable atmosphere and I got fed up of trying on dresses really quickly. Some of the staff were friendly but the one trying my dresses on seemed very vague and couldn't care less. I agree with the bad reviews. (read more)

Pronuptia shop great, Staff started off great! couple of days before the wedding- awful!!!
They said all the suites for our wedding would be available on the Thursday before the Wedding, 2 out of 8 were missing. We insisted on trying them on in the store which was a good job because there was a lot of work needed. The 2 missing suites were promised next day before 12! Didn't arrive! In the end we had to travel to their Northampton and Leeds stores from Derby a day before the wedding. No...

Make sure you read everything before you sign your agreement! I recently bought a sample dress form the London Hatton Garden store. the service was OK but afterward I realised I had fallen for some clever sales tactics and am now stuck with a dress I dont want. there is no return option, or cooling off period, or option to even exchange with a sample dress. the most annoying and worst part of this is that I bought the dress in extremely good condition but when I returned a second time to...

They did not pressure me into purchasing my dress, I went back a number of times to try it which they were happy for me to do. The staff are really friendly, helpful and will do anything for you.

I bought my wedding dress from Pronuptia in Doncasterwhich wasn't a cheap dress in my view approx. £1000.

Randomly out of the blue I got a letter stating that a must pay the £300 balance immediately or my dress was going to be sold.

My husband and I spent alot of money in Pronuptia Romford and it was all completely wasted. They ruined my dress and made a complete pigs ear of all the suits.
I bought another dress and my husband went somewhere else.
We lost a lot of money. I have complained in writing loads of times. I have still not received a full refund.

Generally the staff at Pronuptia Woking appear helpful. I had a very positive experience with very patient lady who helped me try on half a dozen dresses and for whom nothing was too much trouble. I agree with some of the other reviewers here that it would have been helpful to know more of the seamstress' charges before agreeing to use her services. Also, the seamstress is only available on Tuesdays which is not convenient if you work. (read more)

Whether your asian or not is not the issue its the way you feel you have been treated from such a high profile bridal shop complain to the manager. I would say it has nothing at all to do with your country of origin but more with the hostility of the lady who dealt with you.

The dress from Pronuptia was six weeks late, when ordered £150 extra for it to be taken up to a specific length, when it did turn up, the dress was not altered. No communication that this hadn't been done. When we took this up with Pronuptia they refunded the money, however, six weeks before the wedding, i had to find a seamstress to do the work, as they have no instore facilities, and my trust in their competence was compromised. The whole experience was poor and not what you would imagine... (read more)

It was so different when i entered the Pronuptia shop. The staff were really friendly and more than willing to give honest advice. It took me 3 visits to choose my dress but i was never made to feel rushed.
we were so impressed that we decided to get our men suits fom their other shop and we were glad we did. 2 of the wedding...

I have the same problem! Although my wedding is in June! I have contacted one of the numbers given on the letter - which I thought was a weird letter head especially for a company - no registration number or anything, i could have done it! My best friend is on the mission to get to the bottom of this. She has contacts to see if company house are holding any info on this. Mobile numbers ..... are even more alarming. Been on the website of this la promesse - design by tag - have you checked out the address? It should be opposite the district court! Although the letter states it's looking for new premises! I however am going over to Katherine Hamilton, West Calder - who have been ever so helpful in many ways! Suzanne don't wait around, you can still get your dress in time for your wedding if you do something now! I have and am doing it with katherine hamilton, they have a sackful of advice! If the pronuptia dress does arrive in february and you have another one - you will have the choice of two or you can cut your losses at the moment and get in touch with trading standards to find out more! DON'T WAIT ANY longer! Let me know what your outcome is and i wish you the best!!

I really feel for you having been messed around by Pronuptia like this. The Woking store did the same thing to me with my bridesmaid's dress. Despite being assured that they would handle everything from start to finish, when I called about my bridesmaid's dress three months ago, they appeared to have nothing on record for it. When I called a second time, they said that I would have to deal with a shop in Datchet (sorry, where???) a town where i have never been and have no plans to visit. It's not even in the same county as me! Fortunately my dress has been made and is currently with the seamstress. Who knows about the bridesmaid dress as I've yet to have my calls (all three) and emails (one) returned.

We approached this shop over a year ago and decided that we would buy/hire our wedding outfits from Pronuptia.....what a mistake. I should have cancelled when they called a week later saying that they had lost the bit of paper our order was on! This happened 3 times in as many months!
They then hung bridesmaid dresses on children's hangers which resulted in one of the dresses falling in the road, the staff apparently just watched and I didn't see them attempt to help at all. During a fitting...

I've had a great time at Pronuptia (Woking branch). I was very nervous about trying dresses but they encouraged me to try different styles. I bought a wonderful dress from them and could not have done it without their help.
I really needed to be looked after and I think that the assistant did the most brilliant job. I went back to buy my bridesmaids dresses on a Saturday and despite the shop being busy, they all gave me lots of attention. I have recommended them to everyone I know.

This review is for Pronuptia Manchester. On arrival to the store, I entered to find no staff apparent on the shop floor- I think I passed the female member of staff smoking on the steps on the way in! I appreciate that people need breaks but bear in mind I had made an appointment and I didn't see her acknowledge me on the way in.

My concerns have only begun since ordering the dress however. I tried on a size 12 and it fit but was very snug around the hips so was advised to order a size 14.

The staff in bridal, really looked after me and everything ran smoothly. When I told them that there were some bad reviews about them, they were concerned. Apparently Pronuptia is run as a franchise and so each store is different. I would most certainly recommend them and so would my wedding party. (read more)

We received a good service from Pronuptia suit hire up to the point the product was received, then it all went very pear shaped.
They told us to pick the suits up the day before the wedding. Thank god I went in two days before the wedding, as there would never have been enough time to get it all sorted out.
Not what you need the day before your wedding! Tears and tempers were flowing.
If I had to sum them up in one word, it would have to be 'Amateurs'.
