Erin Kincaid of New York

on based on my discussed preferences. I tried on quite a few dresses and Julia helped me get in and out of them. Julia has a way of making you feel very comfortable. The shop is clean and so is their bathroom. I love the lighted raised stage surrounded by mirrors. It allows you to fully see the dress. I also love how they only schedule one person at a given time so you have their undivided attention and the whole place to yourself. Julia was very responsive to any emails I sent throughout out the whole process while I waited for my dress. My dress arrived in August but I didn't have the time until mid-September to go through the final fitting. I scheduled a Saturday, 1pm fitting and met with Julia. Again, she was very attentive and patient. She was also full of useful advice in regards to my dress. I left the shop happy and excited! I can't wait to wear my dress! Julia made the difference in my review. If you do visit the shop, I highly recommend making an appointment as they are an appointment-only business and be sure to ask for Julia.

. The next amazing thing about the store was the fact that I had so, so many choices of gorgeous dresses to choose from. The icing on the cake was the fact that the dresses were really affordable. You would never think it by looking at them but compared to other stores these dresses were very well priced. I ended up with a dress but I never thought I would actually like the style of, and it looks so perfect on the day of and in my pictures!!! Thank you Kelly for making the process so enjoyable, and thank you Erin Kincaid of New York for the absolutely beautiful dress that made me feel like a Queen for a day.

ind a dress within the first few that I tried. I just described to her what I wanted and she brought me so many dresses, I know it was only about 10 but it felt like a hundred. Let me tell you, trying on dresses is no joke! It's real work but I was determined to be a hundred and 10% happy with my choice. Luckily Kelly seem to know exactly what I needed and it was a wonderful process for both me and my friends and family who are there with me. I would do it all again in a heartbeat, there is no feeling like finding your perfect dress. I chose and drop waist ball gown with lace sleeves and open back, and I wish that it wasn't strange to wear a wedding dress and the other day except for your wedding because I wish I could wear it all the time haha! No other piece of clothing that I own makes me look as good as this dress! I would say in comparison to other shops, the pricing here is really good and the quality is even better. I got to order my dress and not just pick one from the store but it came really quickly and it fit me like a dream, no alterations even needed! Thank you to Kelly especially for making the process so wonderful!

they want. I came here to Erin Kincaid of New York and they had quite the selection of you need two dresses that I had not seen at other stores, I found a dress that was pretty close to what I had envisioned in my mind but have yet to find. I was able to actually change the beating on the dress and have it made with a corset instead of zipper. There were a few other minor adjustments that I had made, the dress ear are made completely custom to each person. Oh my God. Every single wedding dress store should have the ability to do this. When my dress came a few months later, it fit almost perfectly and actually did not need any alterations at all! My friend had told me she spent almost $700 on alterations of a dress that she had bought off the rack in her size. Bridal sizes seem to be a lot different. Anyways, I highly, highly recommend checking out this dress store. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

nce. In the bridal industry, gowns run so small that a size 20 is more like a size 14. There are so many shops that do not even have plus size dresses, or you are stuck with a generic shop like David's Bridal that has dresses that are just not that impressive at all. I was so excited to come across this bridal shop and see that they had dresses custom made. Up to size 30!!! The dresses are just beautiful and personal, and the woman who helped me find my dress in the store was just incredibly sweet and funny. She made the whole experience for me and my mom and sister just so enjoyable. I ended up finding a gorgeous ballgown and added sleeves because that was something I really had wanted, it was so awesome to have the ability to customise the dress! I got it in the most beautiful soft blush pink with a cream overlay color that I got to choose. The dress came in quickly and I went to pick it up just a few months later. at another store I had inquired with previously they had said it would take almost a year to get a dress in! And that is for a dress that looks like everyone else's dress. I have no idea how it could take them that long to make a dress... But I was so glad to get my beautiful, customized stress and such a quick period of time here. The best wedding dress store in Washington.

erent store but in the meantime I happen to be in the area and stopped into this bridal shop to check out their dresses. Much to my surprise, dresses by this designer are absolutely, incredibly beautiful. The icing on the cake is that they are custom-made, and they were more affordable than other designer that I like. Easy decision for me, I found a dress that was the perfect style for me. I didn't like the color, but I was able to order my dress in a completely different color. Apparently they offer many different colors to choose from. If you are any bride out there, no matter which designer you think you like please check out the store. I am the pickiest bride ever and if I can find something that works for me, I am sure othes will too.

st for the quality. Check it out,you won't regret it!

d my only stop.

I felt like a princess :)

ess on try #4! My dress has beautiful beading, lace, and a keyhole back. The consultant picked the dress for me based on my criteria, which was a huge positive. The appointment wasn’t long, and the consultant was very knowledgeable with their selections. I didn’t feel rushed, and I was the sole priority of the bridal shop. At David’s Bridal, it was so crowded and I wasn’t the main focus at all. My entire family had a great experience, with comfortable seating. I would recommend this dress shop. It is a convenient location, with great restaurants around to celebrate saying yes to the dress.

felt she was helping me out because she was giving me a $3600 dress for $1200 and I should be happy. I had kindly let her know that I understand that it is a good deal but I cannot purchase this dress and I will have to come back another time or choose another dress because I cannot spend that much. I understand it sounds crazy to only expect to pay $300 for a wedding dress. But remember, I chose the venue that was outside of my price range given the fact that the dress cost, was something I didn’t have to worry about. While one of the ladies was on the phone with her boss, another lady had briefly showed my friend that was with us the written sheet with all the prices of each dress that I tried on. Every single one of them was in the $3000 range except for 2 of them were in the $2000 range. My sister saw this and was not happy. My sister ended up on the phone with the owner and before I knew it my sister was in tears. She is very professional and I didn’t understand why this was happening. I asked my sister and she said that the owner was contemplating not allowing us to have the wedding at the Monte Cristo venue because want to have to deal with this kind of drama. My sister attempted to clarify that it was fine and we would continue looking for a dress but she thought that he would want to know what is happening with his staff. The owner felt that we were being selfish because we were given an $1800 off coupon. I understood where he was coming from but I felt like I was clear that I really couldn’t spend more than a few hundred dollars due to the venue price that we chose. We left to get lunch and came back. I found another dress that ended up being beautiful. It was within my price range and I ended up walking away spending around $220. It turned out it was that staff member first month of work and looking at the price tags didn’t dawn on her. I didn’t like that the owner made my sister cry. Like I said in the beginning, the process was not fun. But I absolutely loved my dress and it couldn’t been any better. They had a relatively good selection. The brands that are not the Monte Cristo label were more what I was wanting. It ended up working out. If I didn’t have my coupon, I would not have bought my dress from them due to our experience before lunch.

as options like they do here. Getting an appointment can be kind of tricky but totally worth it

comfortable with the consultant and had to choose between two perfect dresses for me. Thank you for making me feel so special for my big day!!!

like! I got a beautiful strapless, A-Line dress with a diamond belt. I am excited to wear it! They were very helpful in measurements and were detailed in describing the rest of the process to me. I would have loved to see an even larger selection of dresses in the store. I would have loved to have been able to try on more dresses in my price range, but was lucky enough to find the one that day still!

al love and lace with something else in mind. After trying on so many, Kelly suggested a ballgown and the minute I put it on, I was in love! Kelly and Jacinda are exceptional. They are so patient, polite, helpful and continue to accommodate my every need! Thank you so much Bridal Love and Lace!

irl feel pretty great about herself! The next thing I loved is that everyone there, even the employees from the Monte Cristo coming in and out, seemed so excited that I was there to shop at their store. My consultant was very personable and her personality was very fun. She was a little quiet, but I think that was so she did not influence my thoughts and feelings on any dress; she wanted me to come to my own conclusions. She was also awesome and talking me through possible alterations to any dress and showing me what they might look like on the spot to help me visualize. When I came to purchase my dress a couple days later the woman was extremely friendly. She was genuinely excited for me when I told her I was there to purchase my dress. When she brought it out she let me inspect it to make sure there were no major flaws (since I was purchasing a sample), it was in pristine condition. Here are my only two complaints, the lighting in the, what I call, Stage Room, is very white, which is nice, but the lighting in the dressing room is dark and yellow. Everything looks terrible in there; every time I stepped out of the room I had to take a couple seconds to adjust my eyes. My second complaint is that not everything they have in the store is on their website. I understand they do that so that people will be more inclined to check out the store in person, but I was very nervous going into my appointment after not seeing anything I liked online. Maybe, just a little blurb at the bottom of the page saying the images online are not a complete inventory or something, would be very helpful. My dress is Osera by Pronovias. It is a gorgeous beige (but I’m calling it Champagne) dress with an off-white lace overlay. The neckline is a soft v with scalloped lace edges and the back is the low back I was looking for with a V shape and scalloped edge as well. The longer I was in the dress the more l liked it. I loved how it fit my body, I loved how the skirt flared out, but was not poufy like it was being held out by crinoline or tulle. I loved how the back was in the shape of a V so it made my waist look smaller. I loved the little beaded straps that added just a hint of sparkle. The best part was it basically zipped all the way up! It practically fit me perfectly. My mom, who had come to all my previous appointments was totally blown away and said it looked the better than any other dress I had tried on. I placed the dress on hold and made another appointment to try it on about a week later. I never made it to that appointment. I came back about 36 hours later and purchased the dress. Not a day has gone by since that I do not think about the dress and want to put it back on again.

the sales associate made my mom, sister, future mother- in- law and myself feel super comfortable and welcome. She and her assistant were very helpful in communication and took all the time that we needed. There was no time limit for fittings. We went twice to find the perfect dress because there shop has so many styles and options! I suggest calling and making an appointment so you can have the place to yourself, since there is one fitting area. I love the attention to personal needs with no other customers fighting for attention. The dress I chose was an ivory Poppy, Premier Lace and beaded trumpet style with an illusion back. Gorgeous! I cannot wait to see it when it comes ordered specifically altered to my size. Most dresses in this boutique are larger in size, so just take it into consideration when trying on. You have to imagine the length and size of yourself and not how the larger size is pinned to look when you try it on. If you love the look and style, order it, and then it is shipped and delivered to fit you!

s selection. The experience is very intimate where you feel like everything is about you in that moment which is so awesome. Very different than going to a corporate chain bridal salon where 9 woman are standing in wedding gowns staring into the same mirror. They have a beautiful setup and a friendly staff.

took me a while to get in. Cons: 1) unclear on expectations. I set my budget initially and told the staff so. There's no price tag on the dresses, and the staff pointed me to a section that was within my budget. Later, after I fell in love with my dress, she told me that the dress is above my budget. We eventually worked things through, and I still got the dress I wanted! Just be clear on what you want and they will work with you. 2) no bathroom or it was broken while we were there (?)

I was worried I would not find a dress and the staff and my entourage searched the store for more dresses to try on. We were the last appointment of the day and even though we went past the appointment time they still stayed and worked with me until I found THE dress. I tried on so many different types of dresses. I was able to find a white A-line with lace. They offered the ability to customize things on my dress, which I loved that they could personalize it to my taste. I would definitely recommend this for all brides looking for that dress.

d the right one. I am able to get my dress very quickly and that is great for me to find alterations. I do wish they did do alterations but not a deal breaker. I also wish the dress was able to come sized better for me but it also just partly how the designer ships the dress. Overall great experience glad I was able to work with them.
