Clarice's Bridal Fashions

(not that I didn't try to pick dresses over my self-imposed price point.) She managed to help me find my perfect dress, and I couldn't be happier!

gining but ended up being perfect for the day of! Since the bridesmaids could get discounts by ordering through Clarice's, I also ordered bridesmaid dresses through them. They were gorgeous and ended up looking just as advertised. That being said, I had a bit more difficulty with these as a couple of the brides were measured and led to purchase smaller sizes than should have been recommended (has been a size 6 for 10+ years and was led to purchase a size 2 due to some sizing chart changes from the designer). It wasn't a completely smooth experience or handled particularly well from a customer service standpoint. All ended up getting resolved which I appreciated but it added a bit of stress to the planning process. If it wasn't for the bridesmaid experience, I would give it a 5 star review.

but was open to other options, and she had so many ideas! One of the first dresses she pulled was a beautiful ball gown, that I would not have considered otherwise, and it turned out to be “the dress”. She continuously asked questions about my style and how I felt about specific details of each dress that I wouldn’t have brought up off the cuff (How do you like these straps? What do you think about the details? Do you like the beading? More sparkle or less sparkle? Etc.). I had a large group with me of about 8 people, and we all raved about her afterwards. When I went back for my comeback appointment, she had a private room ready for me with my dress pulled and ready to go, and was very accommodating (despite my mother and grandmother running about 20-30 minutes late). She even pulled some bridesmaids dresses for my sisters to try on while we waited and showed me different color swatches that each designer offers. Overalll, my experience was phenomenal and I will recommend Clarice’s to everyone!

after me and she found her dress here too!

asy to look through, but what really made my experience shopping at Clarice's amazing was my incredible consultant, Katie!!! I came shopping by myself, and she was just amazing--kind, funny, direct, honest, and super respectful of my budget. She listened to what I was looking for and looked through styles with me, but after speaking with me for only a few minutes, she seemed to be able to read my mind and knew exactly what I was looking for: she instantly knew not just what general style I might like, but little details that I would love and particular dresses that I wouldn't vibe with as much. We joked that we had a psychic connection, but I think that is all a testament to Katie's skill and talent as a bridal consultant. She *really* knew her stuff, and took the time to explain to me why certain gowns looked better on me than others, discussing the construction of dresses and what I should look for before even putting a dress on. I really appreciated her honesty and her willingness to teach me about wedding gowns. And, on top of all that, I just had so much fun! I could not have hoped for a better experience shopping for wedding dresses, and the dress I ended up with is gorgeous. I'm obsessed. Thank you so much, Katie! If I could give Clarice's more than 5 stars, I would.

ly recommend!!

ushed by her. Charlene pulled dresses that I felt beautiful in and didn’t stop until she found the dress I was meant to wear on my wedding day. She knew it was my dress from the moment she saw me light up in it. Little did I know, I’d come back in 2 days to look at it for the last time before buying it. She even came back into work on her day off to help me try on my favorite dress from my appointment in front of my entire family one more time before I bought it! I cannot recommend Clarices and their team enough! She allowed me to bring in my sisters veil, a bridesmaids dress, and a sample bouquet to make sure it matched all of my wedding dreams!!!

ied on A LOT of dresses, all under 2000, most around the 1500 area. The employee: I worked with Brandi, who was absolutely phenomenal and I’d recommend her to any bride wants someone who has great taste. When I first got there she sat with me discussing my vision, personal style, wedding style, budget, etc. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted (a fit and flare, crepe dress with lace at the top only), and she pulled a lot of those for me to try. At one point she recommended I try an A-line dress that had a more floral design. It wasn’t what my image was and I was hesitant, but she suggested I try it and she was SO RIGHT. I tried it on and it was THE ONE. She knew exactly what I would love before I even knew! The A line fit amazingly on me, and it was the perfect dress to be nice enough for a traditional church ceremony but not too fancy for my rustic barn reception. She knew I had been trying on the wrong types of dresses for my body type and she was able to gently put me in the right direction. I came in alone since I’m military and my family is in another state, and she made sure I didn’t feel alone in the process. She was so much fun, made me feel comfortable, and was easy to talk with during the entire process. She made sure to only suggest dresses that were within my budget. Overall, the entire experience was phenomenal and very friendly to my budget.

ic, which was incredibly helpful. Clarice's also offers steaming/pressing service, which I highly recommend .

enough there {and organized soooo nicely} that you feel like you weighed your options and made the best choice. Were v respectful of budget and didn’t push you to go outside of it. We loved it so much that I bought my veil there and my mom bought her dress there. Clarice’s made the experience really special for both of us and we are so grateful. I wouldn’t suggest anywhere else in STL!!! Go to Clarice’s!!! Make an appointment, have a drink, bring your mom, have the best afternoon picking the best dress for the best day!!!

ions. She helped me try each one on and we laughed and had such a great time. She helped me make my decision by educating me about each dress and the features and benefits of each. Then I made an appointment for my daughter and I requested Jackie. She is so helpful and just a delight to work with. When it was time to pick up both dresses, we had a lot of help trying them on one more time and everyone is so helpful and pleasant to work with. They have a very wide range of prices, but hands down, the service is exceptional and I highly recommend them. Their salon is clean and organized. Everyone is happy to assist. I can't say enough great things.

ther bride came in and wanted to buy MY gown- but just the sample. Emily saved them from buying the dress so my mom and sister could see it. I would never be able to repay Emily or Clarices for taking good care of me and getting me into the dress I’ve dreamed about since I was 4! Our wedding is just a few weeks away and I cannot wait to be in my dress!

y girls & they may it super easy. I ran into issues after my dress was altered (NOT at Clarice's) & these ladies saved the day. They took my issues & helped me problem solve & worked to get my dress perfect. Since my wedding, I've referred everyone I know getting married to them, as the service is impeccable. Cannot say enough great things about Clarice's & their team!!

she helped me to find anything and everything I could have ever wanted! I will always recommend Clarices to anyone getting married! Thank you Clarices❤️

rl a raise! I found my dream dress that was offered at a few shops and made sure to come back here to purchase. Great atmosphere, prices and customer service. One less stress for this bride to be 💍

Shannon is the sweetest! I am so happy I went to Clarice's!

he was very professional and knew how to keep me focused but also relaxed during the process! I freaking loved my dress!! Every person I worked with there was so sweet, knowledgable, and organized! I made frequent phone calls and visits up there between my dress and my bridesmaids dresses, and I never had any problems! Everyone was so sweet. I also ended up getting my bridesmaids dresses there! I found exactly what I wanted for my girls and everything came in on time and went so smoothly! Having a "one stop shop" for all of our dresses was a dream! Clarice's was so wonderfully organized that I would definitely recommend that team to any Bride-To-Be!!

ing I dreamed of for my wedding day. Without her vision, I’m not sure I would have found “the one” and I’m afraid I would have ended up settling. Katie worked with me time and time again, even opening the store early for me on a Saturday until I felt completely comfortable with the dress modifications. Her attention to detail and extreme care for her clients really set the salon apart from all of the rest! I’m so happy I found my dress at Clarice’s!

I liked. Then she ran back and forth bringing me dresses to try on! We eventually found the PERFECT dress and to make it better, the designer of the dress was there and I got to meet her! Clarice’s even helped me find an amazing seamstress to go to. Clarice’s offers so many colors and types of dresses, including bridesmaids and mother’s dresses too! I highly recommend this bridal store to all who are looking for that high quality and beautiful dress!

re I made my final decision and every time they made me feel so welcomed. They are all genuinely excited for you and are invested in your decision! The consultant helping me actually listened to what I was looking for along with trying a few new options based off of my body type. I ended up going with a dress the woman suggested and could not have been happier with my choice! I had soooo many more compliments on my dress than I ever expected and am still getting them! Thank you thank you!

ould take much longer than it actually did. I think my dress was supposed to take months but it was ready in two weeks. Made us feel like they just wanted to secure the sale. Once the dresses are in store, they expect you to pick them up right away and find storage yourself. Would have been nice to store it there until alterations were started instead of having to store my gown on my own for more than a year.

ordering a size zero when we wanted a two and now we are scrambling to modify the dress so we can wear it. They were less than receptive about making it right even though it was their error in sizing.

bly, energetic, and patient. She really listened to me and never tried to put me in something that didn't align with what I was looking for. She picked out dresses and let myself, mother, and my sister-in-law pick some, as well, which made the experience even more personal and fun! My dress came in quickly and fit perfectly! Highly recommend Clarice's!

above and beyond for me! But I have to say Yulia was my personal favorite. I am a very indecisive person, and she was patient and kind with me, but she also gave me the unbiased feedback on dresses that I needed to help steer me in the right direction for my wedding. Consultants at other shops either said I looked good in every dress or were just silent (neither of which is helpful when you're a bride sifting through thousands of options!) She also helped me find the best veil for my dress, and at a great price. The staff at Clarice's made sure they respected my budget and found the best gowns for me. I really can't say enough good things about Yulia and Clarice's! I am so thankful for them. I ended up with a beautiful gown, and I can't wait to send wedding photos to Clarice's after my June wedding!

t do the alterations there, but they give you a list recommendations for alterations and that worked out great. I liked that they had dresses to offer at all different price points.

ent to pick up my dress, the same consultant took time to show us a few Mother of the Bride dresses. We ended up ordering my mom’s dress on the same day we picked up my gown! I absolutely recommend Clarice’s!

ny beautiful dresses and worked hard to stay within my price point. I'm so happy I ended up buying a dress at Clarices!

des, bridesmaids or flower girls! They also gave us a discount on flower girl dress since I bought my dress there, as well as a discount on men’s suits from Stallone’s (located in the same parking lot). They are the best!

cking my dream gown, made by Maggie Sottero, but I wanted to add some sleeves to it. She knew exactly what to do, and we ordered extra fabric for the sleeves to be made after the dress came in. I also wanted a cuff to wear on my hand, so she had Maggie Sottero design the cuff. Everything was PERFECT. Jazz knew my vision, and helped it come to fruition! I also had the pleasure of working with Ryan, who was magnificent with all of my bridesmaids. I made multiple trips to Clarice’s with bridesmaids to pick out their Dessy bridesmaid dresses. All had different styles. She was so helpful with all of our questions and my multiple visits :) I definitely recommend Clarice’s to anyone looking for a wedding or bridesmaid dress! My mom also got her Mother of the Bride dress there too :)

about, but she also listened to what I wanted and wasn’t pushy. She was honest and bubbly and made this not only a fantastic experience for myself, but for my friends and family that came along as well. Clarice’s has an overall wonderful atmosphere and a huge selection of dresses. This was the first place I went and it set the bar high. Nowhere else I went after compared, and I ended up going back to get my dress. Highly recommend Clarice’s- ask for Katie!!!

tantly on what type of dress I wanted. We liked them so much that I decided to get my bridesmaid dresses there as well (and they offer a discount). ALL of the dresses were absolutely beautiful. The staff was more than friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. They do not do alterations in house but do have a list of recommendations.

e found 'it' yet. I was loving the deep V, but also loving a princess/full skirt. I wasn't finding the combo of those 2 elements in 1 dress...sooo we got creative and paired a slinky deep V dress with an overskirt that gave me the option to have a full skirt for the ceremony and 'change' to a slinky reception dress that was better for the dance floor. I loved the selection that they had & how they had the space organized. The try-on locations are private enough that you have your own space, even when they are super busy. They measured me to the perfect size so I only had to do some strap & length alterations. They don't have alterations on-site, but I went to one of their trusted partners, Abbey Lane Alterations, and had a great experience there.

e had me try on. The ordering process was very easy and my dress arrived much faster than I had expected. I also dropped the ball on ordering a veil and waited until about 6 weeks before the wedding. Clarice's was able to call the manufacturer and make sure that the veil made it before my wedding day. My mom, aunts, sister-in-law and many friends have all gotten their wedding dresses from Clarice's and it's easy to see why. I was honored to continue the tradition. Wonderful experience and so happy with my gorgeous dress.

to help narrow down options. Every other location I’d been too would do a yes & maybe pile with as many dresses as you wanted to try on. We also purchased bridesmaids dresses here as the bridesmaids got a discount. However, several of my bridesmaids were measured incorrectly & wound up with dresses one & two sizes too big which was a little disappointing for them.

rience for me! Megan H thanks for everything!

took her time and really focused on my family and I to make sure I found my perfect dress and challenged me to try things I wouldn’t have picked myself (which I loved). This was my first and last stop and I would recommend Clarice’s bridal to anyone getting married that’s looking for their perfect dress!

favorite styles to help me narrow it down so that the choice was a no-brainer. The dress came in at the perfect time and they even gave us a discount for the matching veil and recommended a wonderful seamstress who did a professional job. I would use them again--in fact, I just went with my best friend and they helped her to find her dream wedding dress, as well. Thanks Clarice's for helping brides find their perfect wedding dresses!

listened. Highly recommend to anyone!

only was she super sweet, but changing clothes in front of a total stranger can be a bit awkward, but she made it feel totally normal. She also was the only consultant I worked with at any of the bridal salons I visited that pulled belts and veils to try too. I eventually found my dress, but not at Clarice's, however, it was important to me to buy my dress from who I connected with so I called Lindsey and she was able to get it for me (and for a cheaper price). I took my bridesmaids here for their dresses as well, unfortunately only 3 out of 7 of them found their dresses here (I did a mixture of colors and styles so there just weren't enough colors in my spectrum to order from here). The biggest hiccup I had happened with the bridesmaids dresses and that was over a month later I got a call that one of these dresses had been discontinued (not Clarice's fault - it was the designer). They tried to work with me to resolve it, but I ended up having to switch to a designer they didn't carry. I did bring the mom's here as well and my flower girl. Katie was so helpful with the mom's - she jumped in to help out and made them all feel more comfortable and beautiful in the dresses, and pushed them to try dresses they probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. One mom got her dress from here (the others waited too long before shopping so we couldn't get their favorites in time). My flower girl wanted to try on every dress they had and Megan was not only patient with her but made her feel like a princess in every one of them. Her dress had some hiccups too, but Clarice's went above and beyond in making sure that we got her dress. I fell in love with her little dress before she even tried it on, so when problems arose they contacted the designer to make it work which I really appreciated!! Loved Clarice's variety for every group and their customer service is wonderful!!

and made my wedding planning a breeze!

ses and try on dresses for me. I felt rushed and didn't end up with the style I was looking for. I was told that the seamstress could alter it. When I got home and tried it on it wasn't close to fitting. I had to take part of the train off to help fit the dress which never did fit in the end. It was almost unalterable and made my time leading up to the wedding hugely stressful. My wedding photos showed the big gaps in the neckline and and I had to buy a shawl to cover the back and wear for the entire day. It was a horror story. The brides maids were not local and there was miscommunication in mailing. Overall a poor experience. Brides, don't be rushed and know that your invoice says there are no returns...which I didn't read because I was rushed out at closing. If you don't find what you want no matter where you are, shop around.

w words describing my "dream dress." Walked away feeling like a bride, not a paycheck, and purchased my dress that afternoon. As a plus-sized, tall, woman I was surprised at how accommodating Clarice's was and the focus wasn't on my size but on what looked beautiful on my body. Definitely will recommend to friends in the future.

was being heard (and not necessarily my friends of family with me - since I am a more shy/quiet person). I found the MOST AMAZING dress there - I selected a blush fit and flare from Mori Lee. I love it and wish I had more excuses to re-wear it and it was in the same price range as going to somewhere more of a chain (i.e. David's). Also, I found my bridesmaids dresses here - a simple long cornflower blue dress that was flattering on all my girls. The consultant was great about making suggestions for bridesmaids dresses that would go with my gown (since it wasn't standard white).

. I told her what kind of dress I was looking for and she knew exactly which dresses I should try on. She also recommended the tailor to use and she was completely correct about that!

I ended up finding my dream dress and I truly feel like a bride now. Jas was the #1 reason for this 5 star review. She is amazing at what she does and she made me feel comfortable and beautiful the entire time! The store was clean and although it was a Saturday and they were busy I never felt neglected whatsoever. My mother even found her dress there before we headed out the door. As if the experience wasn't good enough, I changed my mind on my veil last minute and Jas called me two days later to issue my return and make sure I was happy. Customer service perfection! Thanks Jas and I will recommend Clarice's to every bride I know!

h me out before my appointment time was up with them. So, I went here to appease my future mother-in-law just to look at dresses. We walked in and the shop had a beautiful and fun vibe with several dressing areas and it was super cutesy. Charlene helped decide what types of dresses I should try on and lo and behold, as she was putting one on me, I knew immediately. Charlene was super helpful and really great. The only reason I didn't give five stars was after ordering the dress no one really gave me an idea when my dress would be in. So after two months of not hearing anything, I called in November and it was then they informed me it wouldn't be in until April. It actually ended up coming in late February which was great but it was a little stressful not knowing when to expect it. But overall really great place. Awesome selection and willing to work with YOUR budget.

like - she found her dress that day! They gave us a discount to comeback in and get my sister's MOH dress there as well. We did - and again the consultant was wonderful! I decided to go back for my wedding dress a few months later. The lady I worked with was so sweet and down-to-earth. She kept me from getting overwhelmed and made sure the opinions of my group didn't override mine. There were 7 of us and lots of dresses to try on! She even offered to extend our appointment so I could be 100% sure of my decision. I found my dress that day! I don't know how they do it, but everyone at Clarice's just seems so genuinely interested in the customer. You HAVE to visit and see for yourself!

e when it came to the types of dresses, veils, belts, etc. I had a minor issue with the fit when the dress came in, but it was the designers fault and Caitlin got it taken care of right away. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience and for that I am thankful! I am so excited I got to work with Caitlin and said yes to the dress at Clarice's.

de my decision. I would highly recommend Clarice's to anyone looking for a wedding dress!

rked with me at my appointment, and before we even went back to the dresses she asked me my price-point, what styles I liked, and what styles I didn’t. Because this was my very first dress appointment, I had no idea what would look good on me so I was very willing to try on a variety of styles. My Mom and I were able to pull a few dresses, and Connie pulled a few as well. After I would try on each dress we would talk about what I liked about it and also what I didn’t like about it. This helped Connie choose other dresses for me to try on. Never once did I feel rushed at the appointment, and Connie even gave me space to think through my final decision on my gown. Nothing that I tried on was over my price-point, and the dress that I ended up choosing a gorgeous strapless Maggie Sottero lace gown that was about half of that! I was so happy to find my dress at the first appointment! It only took about 2 weeks for my dress to arrive, but it took about a month for the veil and a little longer for the sash. I was able to make an appointment for when I was going to be in next (around Easter) to try on and pick up my gown. They don’t do alterations in house, but they do provide you with a list of places that they recommend. I have already received my pictures back from the photographer, and I still can’t get over how much I love my wedding gown. I highly recommend Clarice’s for a gown! They have been around for a long time, have a great selection of gowns at all price-points, and are great to work with!

ections and guided me to the perfect dress without being pushy. She was honest and patient and did not rush me in the slightest. The whole atmosphere was great and I would recommend Clarice's to any bride.

n that I was in. I, like many other brides, bought my dress online and change my mind. So I needed to find something cheap and off the rack. She helped my find my perfect dress!! I went back a couple of weeks later and found the most amazing bridesmaid dresses. My wedding was about a month ago and I could ask for more amazing photos. All of our dresses were perfect!!!!

ry. That being said, I'm docking from 5 based on two things: 1. It is a wedding dress machine. I went to other stores and the atmosphere was organized, special, quiet. That was NOT the case at Clarice's. Arriving midday on a Saturday, there were literally dresses all over the place, and they churned me through probably 20 dresses in like 45 minutes - it just really didn't feel special whatsoever. 2. They also said I could try on my sample to shop for bridesmaids dresses if I made an appointment, but then when I arrived, they hadn't recorded it properly and I had to wait over 30 minutes to be able to shop, and it wasn't even busy. I'd scheduled this appointment about 3 weeks out and while we did get to shop, it was, once again, not calm or organized or special. If you want selection at a great price, this is your place, but don't expect to be pampered or celebrated, and plan extra time.

aller women (6 ft) and she said I would need no extra length on the dress after measuring me. We were very unsure of this when she said that, but that is her job to decide and guide us in the correct direction. Well, she completely wrong. When I got the dress back the dress it was VERY short on me. At that point it was too late to reorder a dress and we had already paid the full amount for it. I went to Nanu's alterations right next door and they were LIFESAVERS. Seriously the best. They ended up using material from the bottom of the dress I tried on at Clarice's, which the Manager at Clarice's nicely offered to us to use. It ended up working out just fine. Just a heads up when you go, DO NOT go with Meghan and make sure they are 100% sure on your sizing.

I even changed my mind about the veil once I picked it up and they were extremely accommodating.

e issues with her dress though. The dress did tear apart in the chest area, so I don’t know if they sized her chest wrong or what the deal was with that.

as well. You won’t be disappointed!

Clarice's did a great job fitting each bridesmaid.

rabbed off the rack when she was putting back some of the ones I had already tried. My dress was ready for pick up within a week of ordering; I was very surprised when I got that call! Clarices has an amazing selection of dresses and accessories. We also ordered the bridesmaid dresses thru here. There was one hiccup where the wrong bridesmaid dress color got written down for one girl but that was quickly corrected. One thing worth noting is Clarices doesn't do in house alterations so if that's an issue for you, Clarices might not be the place for you.

resses that would fit my body type and size. I felt she was really listening to me and she made my experience here wonderful. She even found my dress and let me know there would be a trunk show for that designer in 5 weeks. We booked my appointment to come back and get the dress at the discounted price!
