out them and they had never put in the order. It was so close to my wedding date at this time that they literally received the earrings the day before my wedding. Thank goodness. From there, things did not get any better. After my new husband and I entered our wedding reception, we went to give hugs to our friends and family. I hugged ONE person, and the strap to my dress broke, almost exposing my chest. I was extremely lucky to have a friend that works in a bridal shop in a different state, and we had to leave the reception and sew the strap. Unfortunately, after this one attempt, it did not hold. I went back in to hug my grandmother, and my strap snapped again. Because of timing, I had to eat dinner without a strap on and sit through speeches with no strap in my pictures. We had to leave the reception again before first dances and reinforce the strap multiple times. The day after my wedding, I called Miosa and they said to bring it in when I got back from my honeymoon. I did just that the morning right after I returned. They told me they would fix it, took pictures of it, and that they would be contacting the designer. That was in early November and no one followed up with me. I called again in December and was told they were still ‘following up’ and that they would get back to me. Up until me calling them again in MARCH, I had not heard from anyone. I was told the store manager was gone and that she would call me back. I heard nothing, so I called again today only to be told that they were going to do nothing about my dress. They completely blamed the manufacturer, stating that they are ‘just the middle man.’ I have also worked in retail, and a lot of retail places are the ‘middle man,’ but you still back what you sell. The new store manager told me the owner was not going to do anything about it either. The fact that no one contacted me, and now they are not going to back their own dress is extremely unprofessional. I lost close to 15lbs to ensure the dress was not too tight, and I didn’t even drink because I didn’t want anything to happen to it...just to have a dress that Miosa sold me break with no provocation and with no follow through. I am thoroughly disgusted and disappointed. No one should purchase a wedding dress with the fear of it breaking and having to miss out on multiple parts of their own reception.

rovide some assistance. Making an appointment online was super easy, and they called me a few days ahead of time to get details like my preferences, budget and size. The appointment went very well. I felt totally comfortable, supported and I never felt like I was being bullied into making a sale. It truly felt like they wanted me to have a good time and find "my dress." The stylists went above and beyond, listening to all of my thoughts and offering suggestions for ways we can personalize the dresses to make them exactly what I was looking for. They also allow you to take photos of the dresses (even without purchasing) and they don't hesitate to tell you the exact price of everything and the designers. I am really impressed by this because I feel like so many other stores have shady policies about knowing the price/designer and taking photos. I would definitely recommend Miosa for any sacramento brides, especially plus sized brides! I did lots of research before going wedding dress shopping to avoid the horror stories I've heard about. As a plus size bride, I think it can be really difficult to shop for your wedding dress because of all the fear an anxiety about fitting into the sample sizes as well as not being treated very well or being judged for your extra lumps. While researching, every plus size designer I found online was carried at Miosa. In store, they have tons of plus size options which can be ordered up to size 30-32. The offer many sample dresses which seem to range from size 20-24, so there are lots of dresses available for you to try on. Even if you're a larger size than the samples (I am), the dresses are still totally wear-able. The dresses didn't fit well initially, but each time the stylists helped to show me exactly what the dress would look like on me with a correct fit (yay for clamps and helpful stylists!). When in doubt, the stylists just snipped open the seams to help me fit so I never once had an issue getting into the dress (absolutely none of that BS where they hold the dress up in front of you since you can't get inside!). Finally, no one ever made me feel bad or negatively about my body. They helped to make me feel really beautiful during my appointment, and I never once felt like a burden or that I was "uglier" than their skinny customers. If you are a plus size bride (or any size bride) looking for a beautiful wedding dress, I'd highly recommend Miosa! Parking: There is no parking associated with Miosa. You can street park along the surrounding blocks. I've been twice on the weekend and never had any issues finding a spot within a block. You'll have to pay the meter a few bucks.

look at the dress but not to try it on. Went home and of course it was too small. Luckily I had an amazing alternations person (NOT with them of course!) who was able to save the dress! I would definitely look elsewhere to buy a dress. Even if you go there and try on dresses they won't tell you who the designer is or which dress model it is, basically so you can't go looking online to find it for much cheaper.

s, memorabilia from when they first met in middle school, wedding items, jewelry, collectibles, all of their 3 children’s baby pictures keepsakes, and my wedding dress they bought for me 2 years ago that I never got to wear. My wedding dress seemed meaningless amongst all other items they lost but it still was a emotional thought for me knowing that I would never be able to wear the dress my mother picked for me 2 years ago. I tried on 50 plus other dresses at a million places and found the dress of my dreams at Miosa. This was a dress that my father & my husband would never have the chance to see me walk down the aisle in, feeling like Bell in my dream dress. I was sad but, pushed those selfish feelings aside. Today exactly one week later I got the surprise of a lifetime! Something out of a dream! For the first time in a week, I found myself crying tears of sheer HAPPINESS and Joy. My amazing aunt Cheryl Evans Gordon my cousins Shari Jean Berkowitz& Jason Gordon, my mother and Miosa Bride have made my wildest dreams come true. In a moment of pure darkness, they have given me a little light. Thank you all so much I have no words to express what I am feeling. To my family you never cease to amaze me! I am blessed beyond words and every day count my blessings that are you! To Miosa Brise , I am speechless at the amount of generosity you have shown and the amount that you cared for me. Who is just ONE of your MANY customers. My dress was discontinued and no longer sold and you went above and beyond to find my dress. You have FOREVER changed my life and now my dream will go untouched like none of this tragedy ever happened. I will forever look at this dress and think of your kindness and love. I will make sure that everyone knows what an amazing bridal shop you are!!!!In today’s world it is rare that people do things without looking for recognition, you never once asked questions or gave my family a hard time. You showed empathy and went above and beyond!!! Even threw in beautiful earrings and a touching card! You have shown me to never give up faith on people. I wish that I could do something to repay you all but, what you have done is priceless and nothing could ever compare. Thank you for making me cry tears of joy in such ugly times. I truly love each and everyone of you! My wedding is 2 months away and now I can say I am excited again for my big day. #neverhaveibeensohappy #1-5-19hereicome #Hawaiiihopeyourready #Kaanapali Beach Hotel Please share and spread the word of what an AMAZING shop Miosa Bride is!

ulled for me ended up being the one. It was the best possible experience and I'm so grateful I came to Miosa!

. Love my new dress... can’t wait to wear it!

s, and within 2 hours I had found the most uniquely perfect dress. So many of the other shops I had walked into prior to trying on dresses just to get a sense seemed cheap and unprofessional, and I truly don't think you could go wrong if you're searching for dresses in the Sacramento area!

and actually first discovered the shop via online while admiring another bride who was married in the Gold Country. Her photos online gave credit to Miosa for her stunning dress. Fast forward to present time, I was engaged and in search of THE dress! I had visited a few other stores previously but just hadn't found, "the one." I live in the Bay now and knew I wanted to take a drive up to Sac and visit Miosa so I could take a peek. I was afraid their dresses may have been out of budget. Let me tell you - Miosa will work with your budget and they have lots of very reasonably priced dresses! Jacqui (who is an angel that I will tell you all about momentarily), worked with our budget and the dress I fell in love with was very much so in our budget - with room to spare! Don't be steered away like I was initially, by thinking you may not be able to afford a dress from Miosa. They had LOTS and LOTS of dresses reasonably priced and within our budget. As soon as I arrived, I was so excited and just in awe! The store is beautiful and truly has that, "wedding dress shopping - bridal-y," feel. It's a beautiful location - even the wallpaper in the bathroom is pretty (lol). We were paired with Jacqui - and I am so, so thankful for her! She was immediately warm and so kind from the start. We started our shopping journey with a handshake and ended with hugs! Jacqui took my mom and I over to discuss my wedding details and dress ideas. She immediately made me so comfortable by her natural, down to earth and sweet demeanor. I instantly connected with her and felt like we had been friends long before just meeting her. Jacqui really listened to my wants and desires of finding my wedding dress and the first one I tried on, was literally the one I had shown her in a photo. She went above and beyond and we ended up trying LOTS of other dresses, even though I was stuck on the first dress. She threw in a couple other dresses she thought might be fun even though they were a little different than my original ideas. She expressed that she'd rather me try all different types, to at least truly KNOW, the dress I pick is actually THE one. So I wouldn't have any what if's later if I didn't try a different neckline or what not. I really appreciated that - she provided total peace of mind, provided options while still respecting and listening to my needs and wants. And I should totally add - she was SO patient through the entire process, I never felt rushed. She made sure I was comfortable from the start, asking if I wanted her to come in the dressing room with me or not. This was my fourth wedding dress shopping experience - not one other place ever asked - they were just in the dressing room with me. I thought that was really thoughtful. I also appreciated that she said if there was a dress she pulled that I just wasn't interested in - it was okay and not to feel like I had to try on a dress if I wasn't feeling it. The entire process was amazing and that's truly because Jacqui made it that way! I am so happy and fortunate to say, "I said yes to the dress at Miosa!" I couldn't be happier!!

fitting room which was super fun, and made the entire experience feel just a little bit more special. I tried on several styles of dresses, and my consultant was incredibly attentive, but ultimately found a dress I had seen a picture of on their Pinterest page. From making my first appointment to my final fitting - everything went seamlessly. I had my dress altered at Miosa and LOVED the final product - it fit EXACTLY as I imagined it would! I was also planning my wedding from the East Coast, so had to schedule fittings accordingly, and Miosa was more than happy to work with my schedule. I couldn't have been happier with my wedding dress - LOVE Miosa!!! Thank you!!

found me the most gorgeous gown. It was more than I ever could’ve imagined for my gown!

ware!!!

s so sweet and helpful and took all of my feedback and kept coming back with better and better dresses until I found the perfect one! I was hesitant to commit to my dress after one day of shopping so they took my measurements and let me sleep on it and order over the phone the next day. When I picked up my dress I got to try it on with a bunch of accessories to find what I wanted with my dress. Kristina was also super helpful and patient. I wasn't able to have anyone come with me so she took photos for me and gave me tips and advice and hugged me goodbye after bringing my dress out to my car for me! And I got to see Jennifer and show off my dress she helped me pick out. Definitely the best bridal salon in the area! Go here!

o try on from that. All of them looked fabulous on me to my surprise. Not only did she find me my dress, which I was not expecting, but it was the first one she brought me. She is EXCELLENT at finding a gown to suit your personality, wedding venue, body type, preferences... it's magic! The store on J. St. is adorable and newly renovated. I highly recommend Miosa Bride.

My consultant was Aracely and she was so sweet and amazing. She assured me that we were going to find my dress that day! After I showed her some pictures of what I wanted she immediately pulled dresses that fit the look I was going for and completely understood what I wanted. I was amazed at the quality of dresses that were all under my $1500 budget. If I could go back in time, I would definitely do it all again and go back to Aracely! So happy I found my dress and came in under budget. Thank you to everyone at Miosa!

wledgeable about each dress, and what types of alterations each would need - it was seriously amazing. Also the building is gorgeous!!!

h of the color as possible but some of the blue remains. We have sent several communications with pictures and asked for advice but we do not get any answer. This experience has taught me not to expect any customer service from Miosa Bridal once the dress is paid for.

and said that they wouldn't have anything available. I understand that people live different lives and have different incomes, but this was disrespectful. Just something to keep in mind if you have a smaller budget.

experience. There was an abundance of dresses to try on but she knew before I even did what would look best on me. You get to wear the most luxurious comfy robe in between fittings and all your guests get champagne. Your surrounded by mirrors and you get the full effect of trying on wedding gowns and you just feel like a princess. Can’t wait for my 1st fitting!

ady to go!

ng was done! It was a waste of my initial time off of work as well as the trip downtown. Long story short this proceeded for 5 dress appointments! On the day before my wedding it was still not right! They did not finish the work, did not steam the dress, and come to find out on Saturday (day of the wedding) that they had sewn the pins into the dress! (pictures below) What was I supposed to do on the day of my wedding??? My bridesmaids and I steamed the dress for hours and had to cut small holes to remove the pins. Last but not least….. after my ceremony we went to bustle the dress only to find out they had completely forgot to do the bustle! This ruined my night and I had to hold my dress up all night long. When I called the store manager, Megan to share what happened she simply apologized and said there was nothing she could do. She offered a mere $65 refund after I had paid over $600 in alteration fees. This is the absolute worst place in Sacramento to buy a dress. Save you time, your money, and most importantly your enjoyment on the biggest day of your life.

comfortable to wear as it is beautiful to look at. We ordered the dress, came back for 2 fittings, and on the 3rd visit, it fit like a glove and I was ready to head down the aisle. Miosa has a stunning selection of dresses, talented & efficient seamstresses, and are rightfully busy - so book in advance and be punctual!

of what I liked. She went off and picked a number of dresses. The very FIRST dress I tried on had at least one element of every dress I had pinned. It was perfect. I tried on a few more, but nothing compared to the first dress. First salon, first dress! Thank you, Jackie!!! I was recommended by a friend in the wedding industry to not get my alterations done by Miosa because of many stories she's heard about their terrible job with alterations. I chose to trust her and outsource my alterations (which I was incredibly happy I did!) When I picked up the dress, a few things were not correct. The veil was meant to have a pearl edge and that was not done. They were able to do that on the spot and it looked great - no complaints! I also had a belt custom made for the dress, and it was meant to have crystals inside the flower, but they made it with pearls. That needed to be changed, so I picked it up the following week. (With these small things gone wrong, it made me feel better about my decision to outsource the dress alterations.) It was a small inconvenience to pick up the belt separately as I live about 45 minutes from Sacramento, but they really made up for it with a sweet gift bag filled with a $500 gift card (no exaggeration) for a photoshoot from a partnering photographer in Sacramento, and a small bottle of champaign. It was a very generous and kind gesture to apologize for the inconvenient mix up! I highly recommend Miosa for your wedding dress! The dress fit me like a glove and everyone loved it. It really fit my style and was truly a stunning gown for a great price! Thank you Miosa for all your help!!!

erations. Not being local, they worked around my travel schedule and when I would be in town for fittings. Also, on my final fitting, the Thursday before the wedding, they were able to do more last minute alterations and have ready that night for pickup. Having on-site alterations is a huge plus! I had so many compliments on my dress and the day was perfect! Thanks Miosa!

et your dress and anything else that goes with it. :)

ss looked amazing and fit perfectly!

d the designer. She went off to grab dresses, but did not bring a single dress back that I had asked for and made no attempts to explain, despite repeated requests that I wanted to try on those dresses, which was strange. The dress I ultimately bought was not on my list, but it was absolutely perfect. Fast forward to my first fitting--the dress came in early and I scheduled a fitting and asked them to call me to remind me of the appointment. They never called me to confirm and so I missed my fitting and when I asked them why, they said they had it marked down as I had been called to confirm. I re-scheduled the fitting and asked them to call me. Again, they failed to call me for the fitting, but luckily I called them and they told me there was a very large note to call me, but still had not forgotten it. My first fitting was a stange process. I was wearing my dress and thought it looked fantastic, when out of nowhere, the tailor told me don't worry you'll look thinner once we fit it. I did not appreciate that comment, especially since I had not made any weight comments or expressed any dissatisfaction with the dress prior to that. During the fitting, I asked the sales rep if I could try on jewelry and expressed that I did not want to spend very much as I would unlikely wear it again. Everything she brought over to me was $300 + which was way beyond what I wanted to spend. It made me question their judgment. I then scheduled my second fitting for two months from that date and asked them to call me. I had the dates mixed up and because Miosa failed to call me, I missed my second fitting and had to reschedule it. At my final fitting, I asked to try on my dress and the sales associate seemed annoyed at this and was somewhat rude to to me at first, but warmed up towards the end. When I was getting out of the dress, I noticed some beading was loose on top and asked for the tailor to fix it. She then told me that all of the beading was on a single string, so if the beading gets loose it could all fall off. I was never told this before then and seeing as I had to ship my dress across country, may not have purchased this dress knowing that fact. Overall, I was less than impressed with their customer service and their phone skills.

onest to me when I asked for opinions. This is the only bridal salon that I would recommended to go to.

appy with them!!!

dress for the PERFECT price. Plus I got the simple cathedral length veil I was looking for. I felt beautiful, and the staff was so caring and helpful. They even mailed a corset lace to me after the fact because I didn't pick up the right one while I was in the store. 10/10.

sa and was getting alterations done 4 months before her destination wedding in Mexico. I write this review because she is too nice to write a bad review but I feel it is necessary inform fellow brides of her horrible experience. She left the store crying after her third fitting and nobody took accountability. This is not a Bridezilla either, she is the sweetest person and did not deserve to be dismissed and treated horribly. She had three fittings. First fitting. Nothing had even been done. It's like they forgot. They told her just to lose weight. They agreed on getting the alterations that should have been done in the first place. Second fitting: Too big. She did lose a little weight though so they had to alter it to accommodate the weight loss. Third fitting: Just days before leaving for Mexico. They made her wait 45 minutes while she watched them cater to a bride trying on an $8000 dress. Then they treated her like an absolute nuisance because they were trying to sell dresses on the floor. When she finally tried it on, it was too tight and the alterations were done so poorly that the dress bunched at the waist. She said she felt so helpless because the bunching was so ugly and nobody cared. A lot of her friends and family were already in Mexico so she was all alone and was being treated like a piece of shit just days before her wedding. The salesperson blamed it on her body shape and told her she had another appointment. She was in absolute tears and nobody took accountability. People saw how upset she was and did not give it a second thought. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. Mind you, the alterations were a service SHE PAID FOR. Why were they treating her like she was unimportant and a nuisance? Because she had already paid for everything and they wanted her out of their hair to work on new brides. NO PROFESSIONAL CLASS AT ALL. I was floored by this story. As a business catering to brides, I cannot believe they can be so callous and money hungry. All the bridal businesses I encountered as a bride treated me so well and understood what it meant to be a bride. It means a lot. It may be a billion dollar business but a bride is a bride. Period. Most bridal businesses get that and are so helpful and kind. NOT THIS ONE. Not only that...but most brides haven't been married before so they are going into this thing with no experience. Every dress shop I went to understood this and was so helpful and informative. It makes me so angry that my friend had this experience. I honestly cannot believe that she left the shop in tears just days before her wedding. The lady who altered my dress fixed everything I asked for until it was perfect and hugged me and congratulated me before I left the store. I wish my friend had gone to my lady instead of choosing to getting alterations done at Miosa. What a nightmare. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. At the end of the day, she was a gorgeous bride and her beauty really distracted from any flaws in her dress. But you can clearly see that they are there and she said she felt self conscious all day and made sure to hold her bouquet low. Plus it was uncomfortably tight. What an unnecessary worry to have on your special day.

ions also went very smoothly! They were able to get my last minute alterations done the same day so i could take the dress home with me since i did not live in the area. I will and do recommend Miosa Bridal in SAC to EVERYONE!!

ere perfect and they made sure every little detail was correct for the big day. Highly recommended. -Brianne Donath

time. But Miosa got it done. It only took 5 tries before I found the dress that I knew would be my wedding gown. I'm 43 and getting married for the first time so it took some sensitivity to find just the right dress. They actually gave me a dress which was completely opposite of what I had asked for, but they knew better than I did what was good for me. They ordered the dress and I paid extra for rush. They got it on time (even a little early) and we got the fittings done the month of the wedding. The seamstresses are very professional and know exactly what they're doing. I was in good hands. They added delicate lace cap sleeves, which had to be repaired first and then attached. They added matching beading and the repairs were seamless. The dress fit perfectly and I never worried about anything falling down or slipping off. The only negative was that sometimes they are overbooked on weekends and appointments can run long. I got bumped a couple of times and saw others waiting as well. I would suggest making appointments on weekdays or anticipate waiting on weekends. My consultant was very sweet and my seamstresses were first rate. Because of them, I was wearing the perfect dress for my figure, my age and my event on my wedding day.

ated would arrive in early June. My appt was in early Feb, and we were very clear about when the wedding was (early Aug). I understand they are partially up to the speed of the designers-I also suspect my gown was not ordered in a timely fashion. I called in May to confirm/get a better idea of the delivery date. I asked a question and they said I could change my order-I wasn't wanting to do that at all, I was asking about changes for alterations. They also told me my dress would now arrive early July. When I called 5 days after the date they gave me in July, she said "It appears your gown should have shipped and be here by now, usually we receive a tracking number but we haven't yet". I was appalled that they did not call the designer when they hadn't received a tracking number within a few days of the expected ship date. She told me everything would be ok but gave no details. I asked her to find out when it would arrive, she was super hesitant to do it. I asked if they could call the designer and find out what was up. She agreed to do so. (Again I was appalled that they didn't immediately offer to figure out what was up, why did I have to ask them where a $2k item that was supposed to already be there was?) The new date was supposed to be 3 weeks before my wedding, and apparently there was a 'production delay' I had to go back in and try on the sample gown before my hair trial appt and to figure out my jewelry/shoe options because my gown had not arrived, and my trial appointments were going to happen before it arrived. It was not an option to reschedule my other appts-I had to take time off from work to go back in and make these decisions The gown was supposed to be complimentary over night shipping by the designer due to all the delays. It did arrive (finally) and I had already arranged to try on the gown that day. I did actually get a phone call that day around noon that it had arrived, but the gal had no idea I already had an appointment scheduled-nor had bothered to look when my wedding was. She suggested over the phone I make my first fitting for 2 months before my wedding-I interrupted her and told her that had already long past, we were 3 weeks away now, and I had already scheduled an appt for today When we arrived, we stood in the lobby for 7 minutes before anyone helped us. Consultants were walking around in the back, clearly saw us, and not once asked "Have you been helped?" Finally we got some help. I got the gown on, and it fits great, love it. Told them I would not be doing my alterations with them anymore-I simply in the next 3 weeks don't have the time to be driving out to Sac 3-4times, nor have I heard good things about their alterations, and didn't want to deal with their crummy customer service anymore. I have a fantastic seamstress who specializes in wedding gowns about 5 minutes from my office Icing on the cake was when we went to pay. She handed me one invoice for the remainder of the gown, and another one for the hoop skirt I was buying. Everything looked fine. She took my card, charged it, then handed me an invoice with everything and an additional fee for shipping. Shipping was supposed to be free due to the delay, and they snuck it in...seriously?

me find the perfect dress. Definitely liked this little shop.

cause on principle I think bridal gowns are too expensive to wear for only one day :). I always thought I'd find a deal at a vintage store or something like that. Eventually I caved and decided I wanted the true bridal look and went to Miosa. I found my absolute dream dress. I love it so much it hurts! I want to wear it everyday. They were very nice in the salon in that they let me look through the racks myself, or else I wouldn't have found it. I know not all salons will allow that. The dresses here will definitely be more affordable than someplace like Kleinfeld, but higher quality than David's Bridal. A great Sacramento bridal salon.

lpful even though it was my wedding weekend!

g of my accessories, but in the end the completed it in plenty of time and they turned out great.

there were all so very helpful in helping me pull dresses, get into them, and share the precious moment with me. The dress that I fell in love with in 2012 ended up being MY wedding dress and it was a custom design by Michael Sommerfield himself. The other designer dresses there were all great quality, but the Miosa Couture designs were all clearly superior on so many levels. They were designed and sewn with such amazing care and it shows! My custom dress was a true one of a kind all thanks to Michael. He made it so perfectly that I didn't even need alterations...it fit like a glove! They made our trip from Texas such a great experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Miosa Bride for anyone looking for their perfect dress no matter where you live! Thank you so much to all the great people at Miosa!

ore is very nice. You have a great experience every time you walk into Miosa Couture.

he staff was always helpful, friendly, and very excited for my wedding. When I finally thought I may have found my dress, they did not pressure me into a purchase. Even with the trunk show that was ending, they told me to mention it if I decide to purchase later because they were sure the owner would honor the discount. In fact, I came back with another girlfriend to get a second opinion. Once I had decided on the dress, I had to make a decision on whether I wanted to get a beaded belt to go along with the dress. The belt I tried on was GORGEOUS! However, it was above my budget. The owner not only gave me a discount on the dress, they gave me a price cut on the belt I truly wanted because they saw how much I loved the dress AND the belt and wanted to give me the dress of my dreams. They never had to do all that. But it is because of this that I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone!!!! My dress was the Evadale from Blue by Enzoani. I absolutely LOVE it! It is soft, romantic, and one of a kind. It looks classic, but unique and I have yet seen another dress like it!

ing with Michael Sommerfield and Kristin. I would recommend this store to all of my friends and anyone looking for a wonderful time wedding dress shopping.

recommend is that you talk to Michael about all of the alterations that will be needed before you buy the dress and/or before you start doing the alterations. The price can start to increase. I think I went above and beyond on the alternations so the cost of the alterations where extremely high but completely worth it to me. When they were all done with the alterations, the dress looked like it was made specifically for me. The women there are great!! They were always so attentive and helpful. I would recommend this to a friend.

to make it one of a kind for me. He added lace and an amazing beaded belt and made it into a one of a kind dress for my day! Not wanting a veil Michael also custom made a hair piece matching my dress perfectly! I have no complaints other than I wish I could wear my dress again!!!

the final altered dress.

y compliments on my dress and couldn't have been happier with my overall experience. Highly recommend!

th one. It was perfect! Except for the veil, which they didn't have and the one on the picture looked too long for my taste so I tried a different one, loved the cut and we agreed that they will order the original veil and alter it to the cut that I wanted. Plus a minor alteration to the hips and it will be truly perfect. I mentioned that I live in Los Angeles, and it's a 6-hour drive one way, to witch they told me not to worry because they can easily ship it to me. Six months later my dress finally arrives in Sacramento, I receive a call that it is ready. Then it turned out that shipping to me to LA would be an extra charge, plus I would have to pay in full before it ships and just hope that it all fits right. So I decided to drive out and try it on, pay and take it with me. I make an appointment and remind them of my long drive so please-please make sure it is all ready and alterations are done. Not to worry they say, we most definitely will. A few day prior I call to make sure we are ready to go, and get a different response - oh, we don't alter the dress before you try it on. So again I have to point out my long drive and that I won't be making a second one and they already know the alteration that needs to be done, so please do it. Sure-sure, they say. I reschedule for later to give them time. Call a few days prior to the appointment. The alteration was done, but they won't press it because that's an extra $30 charge. So I am paying $3,000 for a dress and they would give it to me wrinkled unless I pay a petty fee? After pointing out to them how ridiculousness this sounds, they waived the fee. And finally on the 4th call, they confirm that everything is done and ready. I come to the shop, try my dress, and see that the veil was still sealed in the plastic bag - not pressed, the lace completely different from what's on the dress. It is even different color (yellow as compared to white)! Luckily owner Michael was there and assured me that they will fix it. They would either order lace from Spain and make my veil there or would cut the one they already have. Then he asked me to pay in full for the dress and the veil, even though the veil wasn't even ordered yet, so I retained payment for that. After we discussed how the veil issue needs to be fixed, he said, don't worry, we'll get it done. A week later I call to follow up and Michael says -what's the cut you want for the veil? I thought we covered that when I was there in person, but not biggie, I sent him a picture of the one I tried on 7 months ago and what we agreed to. We'll get right on it, he says. Three weeks go by, and I don't hear a word from them. I call and get Amy on the line who tells me that my veil wasn't even started yet, but she will expedite it, and while she has me on the phone - what's the cut you want for your veil? It is as if three conversations I had with Michael before didn't happen. I send pictures to Amy now, she gets them and says, we'll get to it now, please pay in full or else we don't even start on the veil. I could not believe the nerves she had to say that to me after all they have already put me through! Per Amy, those were instructions from Michael, who was too busy to talk to me himself.

d my perfect dress and often left disappointed and really was so frustrated by the process. I had this dream wedding dress in my mind and was disheartened that I couldn't make it happen. That was all before Miosa! I went there with a dress in mind but wanting to totally re-vamp the dress and make major alterations. I called multiple places but after talking to Mike he instantly gave me the confidence that he could handle ANYTHING! I went in..and told him about my dream dress...which involved changing the waistline (from a drop waistline to a natural one)...he said it was no problem. He is an awesome designer and designs his own wedding dresses from scratch so said these major alterations were not an issue since he makes dresses himself...how perfect!!! Throughout the process Mike was so kind and continually worked with me to make my perfect dress. He really knows his stuff and I truly took his opinion to heart..he knows what looks good! Really has an eye for things! So together we decided on a belt...hair accessories...a veil. He really put together for me the look I wanted...step by step. I probably went into that place about 6 or 7 times and every time he was super helpful and friendly. he not only helped me to create my vision but also told me what looked good and what didn't...which is exactly what I needed. He spent so much time with me and I couldn't be more grateful. In the end..I ended up with my dream dress, which is every bride's dream. The major alterations he did worked out perfectly and the dress was gorgeous..everyone said I looked like a princess. I couldn't have been happier with the service and the time Mike spent with me. He is amazing...GO TO MIOSA and MIKE to make your wedding dress dreams come true!!!

job. She was very helpful and knew her dresses well. She stayed in my price range and was still able to offer me beautiful gowns. It went so well that I ended up finding and purchasing my dress the very first day that I went dress shopping! And I love that she knew exactly what would look good and complimented me as well. Returning for my first fitting I was helped by Jackie and Kristin who were very nice and friendly. They all did a perfect job and I was happy to have the same consistent service as I had before! Thank you Miosa!

ful gowns it was hard to choose, but eventually I did and I couldn't be happier!

ff was very friendly and they made it right in the end, but there were some bumps along the way.

the appointment disappeared completely. Basically my mom and I were on our own. I ended up purchasing a dress I tried on there, but not from them. P.S. it was in my budget.

g they were helpful to find alternatives at lower price points and narrowing down what style I liked. I didn't live in the area and they were flexible with the appointments and fittings. The personal are nice. The only thing is that on the day my dress was too tight and I had to take it off. It could of been because I needed it fit 7 months early and I didn't exercise or that it was just fit too tight. So I was disappointed that I couldn't wear it for the reception.

le sales in San Francisco to find a dress, I was dissatisfied with my dress finding experience. The kiond where you're only allowed one hour in the store to find a dress. It was cool to see so many dresses, but everyone was rushed and running around like crazy, I felt a lot of pressure to just buy the dress that I kind-of liked. Then I decided I needed to find something different, so I called Miosa and made an appointment. When we got there, we were the only people being help at the time, so we got a ton of attention and they really tried to find dresses that were the style I was looking for. The service was great and the experience was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't think they had the biggest selection, but the dresses they had were very classy and I found several I wanted, and ended up picking the winner! Miosa had great customer service, but is a little pricey. The alterations were very pricey as well, but I guess that's expected when you are going to a high end bridal shop.

unique this boutique is and what a good quality dresses they have. Very unique and tastefull. Mike asked me what I had in mind and I said was a "Destination Beach wedding"I did not want a very traditional dress but I want to look like a bride in a very fitting flowing dress. He right away told me I have few dresses in mind on in particular is a La Sposa brand. OMG it was the first dress I tried in the store and fit me like a glove and i was sold. I tried couple more dresses and that was it. The first pick was the one. I had a such good experience, Mike really knows his job and helped to order righ away beacus my wedding was in less than 6 months. The dress got here days before I was going to fly to my destination wedding and he always was so confident that would be fine and on time and it did. The first fitting, second and get the dress to travel with me took 3 ays and I was ready to go. The day of the wedding my fiance was breath taking how pretty I was and how perfect the dress was for the ocasion, not more or less just perfect. Thanks Mike

wn, so I called them up and told them my price range. They said 'oh yeah we've got tons of dresses within your budget' so I made an appointment. Right away they zeroed in on what kind of style I wanted, but they also helped recommend dresses that I might not have considered for myself but that would look great on my body. They picked out three gowns and I loved every single one, which right away told me they knew what they were doing. So, needless to say I found my dress that day. They were also doing a promotion where I got $300 in store credit which I could apply toward veil, alterations, etc. The dress came in as scheduled and they did a great job with alterations, only needed to be done once. They also made a nice little bolero with the material I had taken off the train. Really quality work and I was extremely happy with the results. I got so many compliments on the dress and I felt beautiful in it. Working with the staff at Miosa was a great experience!
