Designer Loft Bridal

I would like to thank the employees of @DesignerLoftBridalNYC for getting the dress and holding onto it (even though it had to go back to the designer) until my daughter was able to fly out and try it on. As amazingly beautiful as the wedding dress was, it still needed alterations and that was not an easy task, but Natalia, the alteration master at Designer Loft Bridal managed to get it done perfectly.

I went to Designer Loft to find a wedding gown and, while I did not find THE dress, I had the best experience there out of all of the New York City bridal salons that I visited. Because I had family visiting from out of town, I booked a VIP bridal appointment. I am so happy I did — it was not cheap, but it worth it. Liz and her team welcomed me and my guests like we were old friends, and had champagne and appetizers waiting. Victoria was my stylist and did an awesome shop finding what I was looking for and making modifications as I went along to make sure that I was trying on the best dresses to fit my vision. Liz was also helping the entire time, and her knowledge of the dresses and designers was impressive. The VIP appointment included a professional photographer, which made me feel extra special and let me and my guests enjoy the experience and look back on the memories for years to come. Liz and Designer Loft was also very accommodating when I reached out the next day for further details on my favorite dress. If you’re thinking about visiting Designer Loft, don’t wait —book the appontment!

I was in search of a black wedding gown and a very specific vision, which is incredibly difficult to find. I had initially made an appointment with Designer Loft because I was in New York for the weekend with work and had time to kill. At this point, I was looking to try on different styles of white dresses to get an idea of what I would have to get custom made. My initial salesperson, Amy, was fantastic. She pulled a beautiful black designer gown, and talked through the additions I wanted with me, telling me they would be able to do it. I thought I had found my dream dress and I was SO excited. Communication with Amy was consistent and thorough, until all of a sudden 6 months had gone by without a peep. I reached out to the salon, and coincidentally perhaps my dress was done a week later. I took a bus from where I lived in Philly to New York, to find a dress that did not have any of the additions added. The salesperson told me someone would reach out to me in 3 months to discuss the additions, which I explained to her I had previously exchanged text messages with somebody (I have no clue who, they did not introduce themselves during the exchanges) regarding exact details of the additions I wanted. She seemed clueless, and told me that I would hear back 3 months later. 1 week later, I received a call saying my dress was completed. I made an appointment for the following week to go see my dress for the first time, this time having to book a flight because I had moved to another city. The day after this call, I received a voicemail from designer loft bridal saying that they went to ship my dress, but had lost my address and could I please give them a call back. Of course this was horrifying to me because the address they had on file was for a city I no longer lived in, and in Philly that package would have been stolen off the street in .5 seconds. I called them back and they said “oh we found your address, we are about to ship it out!” In a panic I explained to them no, I no longer live there, and I scheduled an appointment the day before to come get it. The woman did not seem to have record of the appointment I had scheduled just the day before. I finally made it to New York to get my dress, and only half of the additions had been added to it. The salesperson helping me put it on did not ask any questions about how I felt or if I liked it, she basically helped get it on me and 10 minutes later I had arranged for the dress to be shipped to my address and was outside on the street crying. At this point, I just wanted to get it away from these people. Thank god I found a seamstress in my current city that was able to finish the alterations, and I did get my dream dress but it was THIS close to being ruined thanks to the horrible communication at Designer Loft Bridal. I shutter when I think about how $6000 and a year of waiting would have been wasted if they had not lost my address and just shipped it without my consent.

Where do I begin - Designer Loft was the TENTH Bridal store I visited in my journey to find the perfect dress, so to say I was a bit discouraged when I arrived is an understatement. Luckily, I had finally arrived at the right place! In my extensive search I had fallen in love early on with a dress + reception skirt combination that ultimately ended up being completely out of my budget. When I explained my situation and showed my initial vision to Jamie her immediate response was - "I can make that happen." Music to my ears. I worked with Jamie as she custom designed a sleek ceremony dress, and VERY fun feather reception skirt that was ultimately SO much better than the original out of budget version I thought I wanted. And this was all done within the initial budget I gave to the team. I felt like the ultimate version of my Bridal self on my big day, and my guests could not stop commenting on how much they loved my looks. Whether you think you know exactly what you want from a specific designer, or if you just have a vision like me, don't hesitate to visit Designer Loft - they can make it happen :)

I had an amazing experience with Designer Loft from beginning to end! This was actually the last of 4 dress places I went to and decided to have some fun with what I tried on. My associate Camila was super sweet, encouraging, and never rushed me. She was the one that pulled the dress that I ultimately said yes too - what they call “the magic dress”. She allowed me time to think on it but once ready, I called and she fit me in to try it on one more time and ultimately purchase it. It took 4 months for my dress to come in and then I was moved over to the alterations team. I had a total of 4 fittings and every time I went, progress from the last time was complete. The week before the wedding I was nervous about the fit due to weight loss and they squeezed me in last minute which I was so grateful for. When I went to pick up my dress, the seamstress wanted it perfect so she made a few last alterations on the spot as we waited - it was amazing! I got a French bustle for my dress and she showed my mom and MOH how to tie it up and it held all night long. They even included a loop so that I could carry my dress around my wrist as a fail safe which came in handy for portraits when I didn’t want my dress bustled just yet. Overall, just a truly wonderful experience with lovely, knowledgeable people!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Designer Loft. I had my heart set on a specific dress for quite some time and went to the flagship store to try it on. I absolutely loved the dress but hated the mesh netting at the neck and armpits and how revealing the dress was in the chest area. The designer refused to perform any alterations on the dress and I thought I was going to have to say goodbye to my dream dress until I met Virginia at Designer Loft. She promised me that Designer Loft's in-house alterations department would be able to remove the mesh netting without ruining the dress and suggested I order extra applique from the train of the dress to sew into the fabric around the chest area. Thanks to Virginia's experience and understanding of exactly what I wanted and Natasha's amazing alterations, I was able to get married in my dream dress (which is also now one of a kind)! I highly recommend Designer Loft to any bride!

Designer Loft was the quintessential wedding dress shopping experience. At my first appointment, I sat down with one of their consultants, Michaeyla, and she asked me to describe my wedding venue, the theme / vibe of the wedding, and three adjectives I'd use to describe my dream dress. I had no idea what I wanted, so the whole process was very daunting, but she helped me find the perfect dress. You get to try on ~6 dresses in your first appointment, some you pick and some the team helps find for you. I ended up choosing the first one I tried on! I purchased my veil from Designer Loft as well. I also used the in-house tailor for alterations. I ended up needing 4 appointments plus the final fitting, and they didn't charge any extra for the additional sessions and adjustments. The whole team makes you feel supported and like their goal is to make you look and feel like a princess on your wedding day. I would recommend any brides looking for wedding dresses in NYC to visit Designer Loft!

Designer Loft was a phenomenal bridal shop to work with. My dress shopping experience was so relaxing and enjoyable, and with the help of Jamie, I found my perfect dress. All of the employees I interacted with in person and over the phone were always pleasant and helpful. My dress arrived earlier than expected and all alterations were complete in the perfect time frame. The seamstress that works through Designer Loft is absolutely incredible, and she transformed my dress in the exact ways I needed it to be altered/enhanced for my special day. I cannot recommend this store enough, especially if you live in NYC it is easily accessible in midtown when needing to go for multiple alteration appointments. Thank you Designer Loft!

(Summary: All Brides RUN from this bargain basement “bridal store”! I wouldn’t wish this scam of a biz upon ANY bride. I paid $1000 to fix their botched alterations 3 days before my wedding. Please don’t become their next victim.) I visited this store for the sample sale gowns. After seeing that some of them were discolored to the point of being LITERALLY BROWN & BLACK INSIDE, I should have left. It is disgusting that these were offered for purchase. I did see a gown that was not discolored or gross. I tried it on & I loved it, but it was a little too tight. They claimed they had an in-house seamstress that could let out the back, hem, bustle, and professionally clean and press the dress. They promised the alterations would be fast and the seamstress had a location near me (2 hours outside NYC). I purchased the gown 9 months before my wedding. After purchasing, I called the seamstress and store & left voicemails for months. 2 months before the wedding, she sent me a TEXT MESSAGE saying that she was “going back to her home country” and would not alter my gown! I contacted the store and left messages- no response. I remained polite in all communications. I FINALLY got through to someone after posting online about the seamstress situation. The person that finally called me back was the owner “Liz”. She had a nasty attitude, seemed to be angry at ME, and told me that I needed to find my own tailor. After I sent her a copy of the contract showing that I paid for alterations, she stopped refusing to assist me- but she was clearly annoyed. Liz told me that since the seamstress near me quit, I would have to come to the city for fittings. I had no choice, so I took vacation time from a new job on 4 different days to make the 4 hour roundtrip visits to the city for alterations- 3 MONTHS before my wedding! At each fitting, I noticed that no work has been done on the dress. At the last fitting only the hem had been done & it was too long and VERY CROOKED. There were beads and rhinestones that were suddenly loose on the bodice. The seamstress began to make strange comments like “This is a sample, sooo…”, and “It IS a sample gown, so…you know….” as if to tell me I should not expect a decent quality of alterations to be performed on a sample wedding gown. However, she still said the alterations would be completed and sent to me within a week. Several weeks passed. My calls were ignored. 7 days before my wedding, my gown was delivered to me in a beaten up box with several previous address crossed out by a marker. My wedding dress was THROWN inside the box in a rumpled pile. THE DRESS HAD NOT BEEN FITTED at ALL! It was now SEVERAL inches too big in the bust, sides, and back, with loose beading, and there were now STAINS all over the satin skirt that had not been there before! I called and emailed the owner Liz. She ignored me, then asked for pictures. After I sent pics, she never responded again. I cried for the entire day. I spent the week of my wedding visiting every tailor. They were all horrified that a wedding dress would be delivered in such terrible condition from a bridal shop. I finally found an amazing tailor who couldn’t believe a seamstress would do this to a bride and felt so bad they agreed to try to save the dress and clean it. They fixed the dress- finishing the day before my wedding. There was no time to fix the hem, which was so long we had to cut our first dance b/c I could barely walk in the dress 😔

Getting my dress through Designer Loft was an unbelievably easy process. I went to look for dresses for the first time in August of 2022 for my April 2023 wedding. My consultant Brie (like the cheese, her words!) made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for me and my group. She was not only extremely kind, but also very mindful of my budget and preferences. She helped me find the dress of my dreams and plan out some modifications I wanted made to it in alterations. I picked an Aire Barcelona full A-line gown with lots of glitter. My dress came in either late December 22 or early January 23 and I was swiftly scheduled for my first f fitting. I believe my seamstress’s name was Natasha, and she was excellent. I had 4 fittings for my dress and they were all quick and easy. My office is just a few steps away so it made for very easy 5 PM fittings during the process. I picked my dress up the week of my wedding and went on to have the best weekend of my life.

Had an amazing experience. My best friend booked an appointment with them on a whim and we ended up finding my dress! They were great to work with, understood my budget and worked with me to ship my dress from NYC to Minneapolis in time for my big day! Thank you!

If you are looking for a wedding dress in NYC, you must go to Designer Loft and ask for Jamie! She is a magical combination of hype woman, fashion guru, and bridal expert. Jamie pulled ~10-15 gowns for me to try on and at every turn, she had a new, brilliant idea for a different dress. I ultimately ended up finding a gown I adored and Jamie helped me compare it to other options and ultimately say "yes to the dress." I had visited 3 other bridal stores and none of them had the selection or level of client service that Designer Loft provided.

I met with Audrey at Designer Loft this past Sunday and told her I was looking for something that fell in the category of 'elegant minimalism'. I honestly didn't totally know what that meant myself but somehow she brought out a dress, which perfectly aligned with my vision and which is now the dress I chose as my wedding dress! This was also the first day of shopping for a dress and Audrey made it easy and fun! Great overall experience at Designer Loft and I cannot recommend Audrey enough!!!

I recently purchased my wedding dress from Designer Loft Bridal and had an amazing experience. After going to a multiple bridal shops this is definitely the place to go! My first appointment was with Camila she was very attentive to what style I wanted and helped me pick out a nice assortment of dresses to try on. Camila was right there when I needed help but not in anyway pushy. The next day I decided last minute that I wanted to try one of the dresses on again and they were very accommodating and fit me in. When I arrived Jamie was there to help me try on the dress. She helped me make my decision by suggesting I visualize myself in the dress on my wedding day. She was so sweet and I again did not feel pushed into picking a dress. This makes a huge difference and made the experience more relaxing and fun. Overall my experience so far has been great and I have no doubt that alterations will go smoothly.

I don’t even have the words to describe how PERFECT my experience was at Designer Loft. It was my first and last Bridal Shop! I went to the appointment with my mom and sister, and from the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed by the team and my bridal consultant Michaela - who was determined to help me find my dream dress. I wanted to find something unique and different, but I came in not knowing exactly what I wanted - I just knew exactly what I DIDN’T want. Michaela listened, provided guidance, and was somehow able to get into my head and translate my vision into the dresses we pulled. I felt so seen and heard when we talked through what I was looking for! Designer Loft has a beautiful selection of dresses and I loved being able to sift through the racks to touch, feel and get a sense of the dress before trying it on. My mom, sister, and I were giddy combing the racks to look for dresses - and even more fun than the search was actually trying on the gowns! The environment of the shop and the energy of their team made trying on the dresses such a BLAST! Their team is just as excited as you are when trying on dresses, and it takes away the stress and anxiety of dress shopping. Michaela was so kind and so patient, and really made me feel at ease. Everyone does a fantastic job of making you feel so special while you try and find the dress of your dreams. And on my third dress I found mine! The dress was beyond perfect and it truly felt like it was made for me. It was an immediate YES! The excitement didn’t die down as Michaela and team helped me visualize and find custom additions to my dress. At no point did I feel pressured to go in a particular direction or another, and the team never said no or pushed me away from any ideas that I wanted to try. With the help of Jamie, Grace, and Liz we pieced together sleeves and a custom veil that completed the entire look - and literally brought me to tears! After seeing everything together, I truly felt like the entire look it was perfectly ME! After the final YES, I felt like I was floating. I will never be able to to express how thankful I am for their entire team, and I feel so grateful to have found my dress at Designer loft. The whole experience was a dream - and I cannot wait to wear the dress of my dreams on the day I marry the man of my dreams!

I went to 10 bridal shops to try on dresses before finding my gown at Designer Loft. I needed a stylist who could look at me and understand not only my spoken desires for the gown, but also could envision what would look good on me. When I went to Designer Loft, they had enough of a variety of designers and styles to fit almost any taste, but not be overwhelming. Their price points also were reasonable, and had a comfortable range. I worked with Bri who showed me around the showroom and helped me pick out dresses that fit my desires. She gracefully transported them into the fitting room for me to try on. As I was heading in to try things on, the owner pulled me aside and showed me a gown that was not within my framework (it was strapless, which I didn't want) and suggested that I try it. Bri helped me with the try-on process, and we started with the owner's suggestion to rule it out quickly. When I put it on, I immediately knew that it was THE ONE. I felt instantly bridal, beautiful, and emotional. My mom, sister, and best friend were so shocked that it happened that fast, they were almost speechless. For the rest of the appointment, Bri led me through ruling out all the other gowns, and when we reached the conclusion that this was the one, she helped me to choose from a variety of accessories. I had so much fun playing with capes and veils! I never felt rushed or pressured in any way. After the gown was purchased, I used the in-house seamstress to do the alterations. I had 3 appointments because of how simple and form-fitting my gown was. Since I was coming from far away, I had to reschedule one appointment, and everyone at Designer Loft was very gracious about this. The seamstress did amazing work, for a price that I felt was way lower than the quality of the work she did. I asked for a piece of my dress to be saved to tie around my bouquet and that was done for me as well. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Designer Loft by a friend who purchased her dress there and loved it, but I didn't love the experience. To be clear, the store is lovely and gorgeous and the dresses are fantastic. Excellent vibes all around! My experience was hindered, however, by my dress consultant. I came in with a pretty clear vision of what I was looking for and certain aspects that I specifically did not want. My consultant started by pushing their newest designs and even pulling a dress for me that I specifically said I didn't want to try on because the sleeves were a style that I already knew I didn't feel good in. She continued to pull dresses that were extremely outside of what I said I wanted and even when I had them on and clearly didn't look happy, she kept pushing alterations rather than a different dress. My party was very confused when I kept coming out in dresses I clearly didn't want. Additionally, she would leave me alone and naked regularly in the dressing room while she spontaneously went to find another gown outside of what I was looking for instead of helping me change into one of the dresses my party helped me pick out. Overall it was a very weird experience that felt very much like a push for these dresses and not an attempt to help the bride find something she loved.

Special thank you to Jamie at Designer Loft! She was so amazing, attentive and professional when helping me pick out my dream dress. She pulled dresses based on descriptions of what I was looking for and also pulled a "wild card" suggestion. I actually ended up falling in love with the wild card Jamie chose! She knows her stuff! I also very much appreciated that I did not feel pushed or rushed to make the purchase, and was given space and time to sleep on it and try things on across multiple days. The sales team at Designer Loft were all so kind and patient with me and all of my questions about the process of purchasing a wedding dress.

I had a fantastic experience at Designer Loft. Great selection of dresses, with an initiate setting. Michaela was absolutely wonderful! Would definitely come back.

I wish I could break this out into 3 different reviews. And this is my first and only negative review for any part of wedding.... 1. The staff helping to find a dress was fantastic! Super patient, worked within budget and totally understood my look. Great variety of dresses. 2. The manager was INCREDIBLY RUDE, condescending and misinformed on many occasions. My family/friends blown away. 3. DO NOT GET YOUR DRESS TAILORED HERE. Worst experience ever!! I ended up coming in 5-6 times as NOTHING was done. I was an out of town bride and they were going to accommodate tailoring/ do multiple visits in one travel week. Sounded great, but never done. I had read reviews that this happened so I even called before each visit to confirm. and still NOTHING. Then on my wedding day ALL of the busles broke right before my first dance. we tried pinning/resewing and I can to walk around with my heavy train tossed over my shoulder most of the night. Not to mention the tailors had to finish the day before my wedding because nothing was done and then tried giving me a dirty dress that wasn't even steamed!! Not pick up ready. And tried blaming the material being the reason it was dirty and not fully finished. Totally fine to buy your dress here, but please please please trust the reviews get it tailored elsewhere! Even though in the end it looked great, this was the biggest headache of my wedding.

I am so impressed with Designer Loft Bridal and their rockstar team, especially Amy Krug who helped me find my dream wedding dress. 😍 A few weeks ago, I dedicated a weekend to go on a handful of bridal salon appointments and Designer Loft was the second on my list. The location was easy to find and luckily I was able to bring 3 guests (sister/MoH, my mom and soon to be MIL). The second I came in, Amy was an amazing host and ushered my group to the plush couches in the show room and then proceeded to have a 1:1 conversation with me about my wedding, my vision and what I'm looking for in a dress. Along with my sister, we searched through the racks while Amy pulled suggestions and encouraged me to pull whatever caught my eye. In the dressing room, Amy did a an amazing job clipping me in and just making me feel like a million bucks in every dress I tried on. She also kept me engaged asking how I felt, did I like how the dress flowed, what shoes I should consider and pulling veils to accessorize the whole look. I left Designer Loft with a couple top choices and hands down I did not have no where near such a helpful, fun experience at my other appointments like I did at DL. 👏🏻 Later that week, there was one dress that I could not stop thinking about and before I could text Amy to setup a follow-up appointment, she had already reached out! I was able to come in the next day and Amy helped me pull a few more dresses to try on, saving my favorite for last. When I put on my favorite, I just knew it was the one. Since my Mom was already back home in Georgia, Amy helped me FaceTime her and showed her how I moved in the dress and we just knew it was the one. I can't begin to express how happy I am to have to have found the amazing team at Designer Loft. Amy is a professional rockstar, she knows her wedding dresses and I really cannot wait to be back in 4-6 months to try on my dress! 🥳

I had the best experience at Designer Loft and found the perfect dress. My consultant, Roxanna, was AMAZING-- hands down the best person I worked with across the many salons I went to. She was so attentive and did such a great job helping me piece together different parts of my dream dress. I didn't catch the other woman's name (she seemed like to go-to person for fabric q's), but she was also SO helpful and kind when I came back in to try the dress on again. The salon was very clean, organized, and really cute. I highly recommend!

Designer's Loft is amazing... Even though I ended up buying my dress at another store, I had to write a review about Designer's Loft and Wellsely, my consultant. They have an AMAZING selection of Spanish dresses (Pronovias, Rosa Clara, etc) at an affordable price. Wellsely is incredibly kind and smart, and understands exactly what you're looking for. Highly recommend!!

My experience at Designer Loft was top-notch! My associate, Amy, went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. She remained patient as I tried on many dresses that were not right for me, and skillfully absorbed my comments and feedback to select dresses that brought me closer to my ultimate pick. She even started a text thread for us where we could share ideas in between appointments. She was professional, thorough, and always kept the mood light and fun! I would recommend this salon to any bride looking for a selection of elegant wedding gowns.

I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible selection, price points, and patience in every interaction I had with Designer Loft!! The owner Liz was accommodating and communicative in making sure the dresses I wanted to try were ready for me. I worked with both Jamie and Brie for two different appointments. Jamie is just as great as every glowing review here says and Brie was absolutely amazing: pinned everything perfectly and was super knowledgeable, detail oriented, nice, and upbeat. While I made the difficult decision to go with another dress, my experience at Designer Loft was the best by far! Try to do a weekday if you can.

While I ultimately did not purchase my gown at Designer Loft, I had a great shopping experience here! My guests and I were able to browse the racks for dresses. And my consultant, Brie, was super sweet and helpful! In fact, the entire store was so friendly!! I highly recommend coming here for bridal dress shopping.

I absolutely loved this dress shop! They really make you feel special and give you the personal attention and service that you’d hope to get when making such a big purchase. Their inventory was wonderful and their stock of plus sized gowns was fabulous. All types of styles and prices, I can see that they really took the time to build their dress collection. My salesperson Jamie was so sweet and wonderful. I met the owner as well and she was just so kind and accommodating. You can tell they really care about their clients. Highly reccomend to anyone dress shopping in NYC. Great selection and great people!

The Designer Loft is an absolute bridal dream! Jamie was amazing and patient in helping me navigate what dress I wanted as my opinions and style changed with every dress. She even went WAY out of her way to accommodate my dress requests. Designer loft also scheduled an additional appointment for me so I could show my mom the dress we bought in person because she lives out of state. The whole team went so above and beyond to help me find my perfect dress. I recommend this shop to ANYBODY dress shopping in NYC.

Had the most wonderful experience here! I was calling every bridal salon around looking for a specific dress. The Designer Loft had it and put int in my dressing room before I had even arrived. I said yes! They were just as excited for me as I was. I felt at home here. Thanks so much for a perfect day!

I had the best experience shopping at designer loft for my wedding dress. Jess, the associate I worked with, was so attentive and you could tell she genuinely wanted to help me find my dress (which she did!) I never once felt rushed like I did in other stores even when I wanted to try on the same dresses multiple times. They have a wide variety of styles and designers and I liked that I was able to browse the racks myself unlike other stores as well. I would highly recommend visiting!

I had a great experience at Designer Loft! Amy was kind, patient, and understood exactly what I wanted. It was the first salon I went to that really listened to me, and where I didn't feel like I was trying to be sold something. She was an incredible hype woman, and you can tell she really enjoyed her job and loved seeing a happy bride. I got my alterations done here as well, and the seamstress was AMAZING! Together, we completely redesigned my dress - added straps, cut off the train, lowered the back, etc. She completely understood my vision and helped turn it into a reality, and her work was flawless. I had a great experience at Designer Loft from start to finish!

I loved dress shopping here, so much I went twice so my mom could join! KT and Jamie were so wonderful, KT even helped me out with a photo booth recommendation and venues she’d looked at since she is also engaged. They’re great with getting you in and out of the dresses, cinching to fit, making the train and veil look right, and finding styles based on your taste. That was not really the case at the other places I went dress shopping. I felt pushed out of other shops with timelines (or once they could tell I didn’t love what they picked). Not here, they had the best selection without being overwhelming. So excited to get my dress in the next few months for alterations!

I am not one to leave reviews often but Jamie, Brie, Liz, and the entire team at Designer Loft have made wedding dress shopping the most wonderfully fun and easy experience. From the second I walked in the door, they listened to what I wanted, helped me find it, went above and beyond to help me envision how different styles/designs would look, and made the ordering and measuring process so seamless. I haven't dealt with alternations yet but have no doubt they will be as fun as every other interaction with the Designer Loft team. Thanks, Designer Loft, for showing me how joyous wedding dress shopping can and should be!

I cannot speak more highly of Designer Loft Bridal in NYC. I was clueless as to where to start shopping for a bridal gown. I’m so happy to have started with Designer Loft. After trying on several designers, fabrics and styles and not finding “the” one, Liz and Katie guided me and helped me choose the PERFECT dress for me! My future mother-in-law who lives in N.J. accompanied me. My mom lives in L.A. and would have missed out on all the fun and excitement, but Liz and Katie were so understanding about me having her join us on Face Time for every appointment! They were warm, down to earth, and patient! They made every appointment so special! Natasha made the alteration process easy, and my gown fit flawlessly. I truly felt like a BRIDE!!! Cannot recommend this shop more! I’ll miss seeing Liz, Katie, Natasha and the entire staff at Designer Loft now that my wedding is over.

I went to many bridal stores in the city and Designer Loft was the perfect experience. Finding a wedding dress is a special occasion - you certainly want to feel special but also true to yourself. My stylist made me feel right at home. The dresses are beautiful and I actually had a tough time choosing, but ultimately fell in love with one. Tailoring process was *seamless* (pun intended).. despite many COVID delays and many fittings, Designer Loft worked with me to get the dress perfect.

My (now) wife Jillian and I went here after a deeply frustrating experience of trying on wedding gowns and feeling defeated. They seemed to have so much fun with our two-bride situation. Our families were invited to our appointment and we were offered Champagne and snacks with other refreshments. For the entire process we had all of the best! I worked with KT who was absolutely fantastic and so non-judgmental and warm. My wife worked with Carly who was the perfect fit for her and supported her throughout the whole stressful process. Liz worked with us along the way to help us get our amazing dresses on a tight timeline during COVID too. My mother herself was so grateful for the experience. They honored our preferences and our budget and were beyond everything that we needed for our special day and will always come fully recommended from us!

I cannot begin to express how amazing my experience was at Designer Loft. Not only was the entire staff so wonderful and attentive, but their selection of gowns is unmatched. Special shout out to Amy who was a joy to work with and had a key eye at finding gowns that were exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad that I chose to visit this salon, because it resulted in finding my dream dress. I can’t wait to work with this lovely group of people leading up to my big day!!

This boutique was very pretty, with floral walls to take pictures if you said yes to the dress along with beautiful chandeliers throughout. Genesis was very nice and helpful. Before going to the store I created a profile on the website and was able to select my favorites for them to have ready when I arrived. Unfortunately, these had not been pulled to the side for me in advance as discussed when I called. That would of helped save some time and made feel they were prepared for my appointment. The first dress I ended up trying on was one I favorited and absolutely fell in love with! I said yes to the dress at Lotus Bridal!

I didn’t run any problem from the time I showed up for measurements, received set of tuxedo… Everything is perfect! I went to the Black Tux store in Santa Monica for measurements, the person in charge of that store was very helpful, polite, and friendly. My daughter said that the tuxedo was fitted me very well. Thank you very much for the rental service from your store, and definitely I will strongly recommend your store/service to my friends, snd relatives in the future.

I can not say enough good things about Designer Loft! Not only is their selection of dresses stunning, but everyone working in the store is incredible. They were so flexible and accommodating. KT was an absolute joy to work with, she had the best suggestions and made me feel absolutely beautiful. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. So happy to have found the dress of my dreams.

Had such an amazing experience with Amy!! Could not recommend her more. She was calm, cool, made me feel at ease & so beautiful, each time I met with her. She went ABOVE and beyond to help me work with the designer to build my dream dress from a couple of different styles.

Had tried on 40+ dresses all around the city. Sat down with KT and new trainee Maddy to discuss what I was looking for, and they pulled my dream dress on the first try. The. First. Dress. And I was in tears! I’m sold. Will be recommending this place to ALL brides to be!

Feedback Message: I had a fantastic experience trying on my future wedding dress! KT was amazingly helpful, really listened to my vision and also gave me helpful insights and feedback when trying on various dresses. She was also lovely to work with, making the process, which can be overwhelming, very enjoyable! Finally, as a new NYC resident, I wasn't able to have friends or family present, and KT took care of face timing my Maid of Honor so she could be part of the experience. Highly would recommend Designer Loft!!

Had an appointment with KT and could not have had a better experience. KT was so enthusiastic, passionate and a joy to work with. All of her focus and attention was on me and my vision. There was also a huge selection and I wasn't shown anything that would double my budget, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend booking an appointment here and especially working with KT!

The team was fantastic! Jaime, Liz and KT helped me find my dress and were the most patient and creative in getting me there. Can't say enough good things about them!!

The designer loft team is beyond amazing! From the second we walked it they were kind, helpful, and filled with enthusiasm. My consultant Carly, is a GEM! and if I could of hugged her a million times when leaving I would of (but covid). Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back and pick up my dress!

Everyone at Designer Bridal Loft is amazing. I came here twice to try on dresses. The first time my consultant was Katya. It was my very first time trying on dresses and she had a great eye and was able to pull things I wouldn’t think of trying but looked great in. The second time my consultant was Carly. She was great, she really knew about each designer and dress. During my appointment my family was VERY opinionated and I was getting stressed and overwhelmed. Carly picked up on this and helped me through it and refocused the appointment to how I felt. Both consultants gave me time and I never felt rushed or forced to make a decision. The dress selection was great and there were beautiful dresses at all price points. Designer Bridal Loft is really a must go to for NYC brides or those coming to the city to find their dress.

AVOID AT **ALL** COSTS - especially Galit Levi. She make promises that she can't deliver on - Galit's practice appears fraudulent and deceptive based on my experience: - I ordered a replica of a dress that was in store. I got back an oversized rag that looked NOTHING like the original. There was NO attention to detail. Shards of fabric were just hanging from different parts of the dress. - The dress was at least a month late - they planned to finish it AFTER my wedding date & no one cared that they missed all deadlines. Galit's only concern is charging your credit card. Unprofessional and unskilled - don't make my mistake. Go elsewhere. Management is not honest here. See the picture and decide for yourself if you want to take the risk. - Galit took my measurements twice & still ended up with the result you see below. - She wanted to charge almost $5000 for the "dress" she produced; it looks worse than anything store brought - Galit & Liz refused to acknowledge that there is anything wrong with the dress that she produced (see Yelp for pictures!); all they wanted to do was charge my credit card again and send me home!

Had such a great experience at Designer Loft. Respectful of budget and picky taste!

I had such a great experience! This was my first time trying on dresses and I felt very comfortable throughout the whole experience. Jess pulled dresses I never would have thought to try on myself; each one served a purpose and led me to finding the perfect dress. With all the stress of planning a wedding during COVID, this re-energized my excitement!

Carly facilitated a seamless wedding dress shopping experience for me, my mom, and my sister. She knew the shop's inventory, was proactive and personable, and didn't waste any time -- but also didn't make me feel rushed. She was insightful and a joy to be around. Ask for Carly if you visit Designer Loft -- you won't regret it!

Everything was just so perfect... it was everything I could've hoped for and more! My mom, my friends and I cannot stop gushing about what a spectacular experience they gave to us. They were so attentive, and the whole experience felt so personalized and special. Their communication was phenomenal from the moment I made the appointment to the day of and beyond. They were just so accommodating and really listened to each little opinion I had, which made it so easy for them to find me the most special dress for one of the most significant days of my life! It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams!!

Amy! Literally wow. Looking for the perfect dress is so exciting but it can be just as daunting, exhausting and confusing - going from shop to shop and trying on countless dresses and not really knowing what works on you before it's on. What set Amy and my experience at Designer Loft Bridal apart was that she made fun and ONLY fun! Amy genuinely listened to understand our wedding vision, personal style, and budget which she then translated into dress choices. She also gave us all the creative liberty to choose dresses - not once did I feel guilty for wanting to try on more. She was engaging, encouraging and honest throughout. In the age of Covid, where I couldn't have all my friends there at the salon, Amy definitely did feel more like a friend than a bridal salon associate. Can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was... thank you Amy for helping me find such a unique and beautiful dress, and for being the best company during such a special time in my life!

I found my dress today at Designer Loft! Carly was my consultant and she was WONDERFUL. Seriously, I cannot hype her up enough. She listened to what I wanted, and she picked a dress I would have never considered, but ended up buying! I feel like she immediately got a feel for what I was looking for as most of the dresses she pulled I liked in one way or another. I would absolutely recommend them over Kleinfeld's. I had an appointment there and the consultant picked all dresses I told her I didn't want, and the selection seemed very limited as they seemed to only carry the same type of 3-4 styles. It was a very disappointing experience. Designer Loft has an AWESOME selection of dresses, everyone we met was so friendly, not to mention the adorable Finn! I recommend Designer Loft to all of my friends moving forward! Thank you!!

Absolutely the best service I could’ve possible hoped for. They were all so kind and thoughtful and helped me narrow down what I was looking for in a wedding dress.
