The team here was amazing!! They helped me in the process of finding my wedding dress and my bridesmaid/mother of bride & groom dresses. In each situation they were helpful in finding a dress that fit the theme of the wedding while also taking into consideration each person's wants, and accentuating our features! They were so kind, and timely.
The team at party dress express is amazing! The experience I had here was perfect compared to other bridal shops when looking for my wedding dress. Not only is the staff so helpful and friendly but they are also so knowledgeable about the dresses! Jessica immediately understood my vision and knew the right questions to ask me to help me with the decision making process. She also did incredible work when measuring me and recommending what dress size to order! I needed minimal alterations thanks to her! During the entire process, I felt the team genuinely cared about how I felt as opposed to making a sale which made for such an enjoyable experience!
I found my wedding dress here, along with mother of the bride dresses. Everyone is so helpful. They have a wide selection of dresses to chose from. I highly recommend!
I found my dress here! I had the best best best experience with Ashley! She was helpful, supportive and amazing! I had been to so many different bridal salons and I am so thrilled with my experience here.
Love, love, love this place and highly recommend. For starters I came across this place 12 yrs ago! I bought my senior prom dress through them. I planned on getting married in that dress as well because I loved it so much (still have the dress and would’ve got married in it). My fiancé however didn’t like the fact that I was with another man in the dress. I also decided to get another dress because my fiancé saw me trying the dress back on as it had been 12 yrs since I tried it on. So my initial experience getting my prom dress brought me back!!!
My mom and I booked an appt with Ashley and in less than 15 mins she had my style pinned and we had 13 dresses to go through. She kept me calm as this process can be overwhelming and my mom can be a bit much at times lol. Within an hr I tried on all my dresses and was at the register paying for my dream dress! I loved every bit of the experience, I went back a month later with my bridesmaids and had a flawless experience as did they! 10/10 would recommend and will most likely get my dress from here when we renew our vows in 5 years! I can’t thank these ladies enough for being part of this exciting adventure
After visiting 5 salons, I found my wedding dress at Party Dress Express! They have a very large selection which I was grateful for as I was zeroing in on exactly what I was looking for in a dress. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and I loved and valued how I was able to look through all of the dresses myself. I didn't feel rushed and took my time trying on several dresses and making the final decision on my dress. Fatima took one look at the dress and found the most absolutely perfect veil within a minute. It was very thrilling to buy a dress off the rack and take it home the same day! It was the perfect experience to conclude my wedding dress search.
We got married last September and I LOVE my dress so much. I still get so many compliments on my dress. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to this place because it was so big and my family dragged to NYC NYC and Boston but turns out my dress was right in my backyard! I am in RI ♥️. The dress section is awesome with beautiful light from these gorgeous mill windows above. So many dresses at various budgets means you can find what you are looking for! The quality was equal to the other places I found. The attendants were sweet and helpful. Had to get my veil on Etsy because I wanted to get something simple and modern. The world shut down the week after I got my dress. They seemed super short staffed and stressed and kept me waiting outside one time for awhile, but kept my dress safe when we had to postpone the wedding. So glad I came here! Would absolutely recommend!
What a great experience Ashley provided for my bridal gown shopping! She was patient. funny, honest. My family and I had such an amazing time. We were able to try on so many dresses , every different style! I said yes to the dress and couldn't have been happier , thank you Ashley! Can't wait to go back for my bridesmaids dresses (;
I went to Party Dress Express with really high hopes. When I booked my first bridal dress appointment, I requested a specific person to work with based on recommendations. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was placed with someone else. No big deal. I had an amazing experience with Ashley, and for my try-on when the dress arrived, I requested Ashley for the appointment to have some consistency. Again, they changed the person last minute so I did not get to work with Ashley again. When I mentioned that I was disappointed, they did offer me to reschedule the appointment to try to work with Ashley specifically but seemed rather curt in their response when I told them I was disappointed. They have a great selection and I loved my dress I found (and Ashley!) but if you are looking for a personal touch throughout the whole experience, I would look elsewhere.
There are not enough positive things to say about Ashley and the whole experience with Party Dress Express!
With 8 women in our bridal party we had a collection of various ages(16-45), shapes, and heights, Ashley connected individual with each woman to make them all feel comfortable. As a bride, I felt prioritized, even though didn't go into the first appointment having much for ideas other than I wanted my bridal party to coordinate and all feel comfortable. I was so pleased to be able to select 8 different dress options, including a pant style, that coordinate and look gorgeous on each of the ladies.
Ashley was a critical part of styling my bridal party and I have no doubt my wedding be beautiful because of it! I was able to rely that Ashley was politely steering everyone in the right direction when they drifted too far away from my vision at times. In the end everyone is more than happy and I am beyond thankful to have worked with Ashley!
Today I went shopping during a pandemic for my wedding dress. I thought the restrictions might take away from the experience. I was so so wrong. Jessica Cordeiro was my stylist. Not only did she listen to me about what I was looking for, but she made me feel beautiful (even in the dresses that were definitely not for me). She was welcoming to the guests I had with me and made me forget that we were wearing masks and living during such a difficult time.
She had me try on styles like those I thought I wanted. Pushed me to try out things I never thought I could pull off. Offered suggestions on how to alter or modify certain dresses. And lead me right to MY dress.
The store has so many options, there was no way to not find something in my price range and style. I would recommend Jessica and Party Dress Express to anyone who needs a dress for ANY event.
I felt like my gown made me look like a million bucks without spending anywhere near the high end of my budget.
It was a great day at the perfect store. Thank you Jessica!!!!
The first bridal appointment I had was here. I had a great experience! Fatima was extremely helpful as I tried to find the right style. I would highly recommend this salon!
I would recommend party Dress Express to everyone! They had amazing deals, were super professional and involved, and made everything from bridal dress shopping to bridesmaids dress shopping so easy and so much fun. I wish I could have more weddings just to keep going back there. Their team is attentive and supportive. They really keep the brides wants and feelings in mind and that's so important.
I can't say enough how much I loved my experiences at Party Dress Express. My bridesmaids and I went first for their dresses, I chose the color and the girls were able to choose their style. They have so many options, everyone was very happy with their purchase. A few weeks later, I went for my bridal gown with Kelly, she is beyond amazing! She made me feel so comfortable, as a plus size bride this is very important! She was super knowledgeable and she listened to me and what I was envisioning and in the end I said yes to the dress @ Party Dress Express! I can't thank you enough Kelly, you helped ease my anxiety :) She is a gem 💎 and a huge asset to this bridal salon ❤
I went to numerous bridal salons and really struggled to find a dress. To start off, the selection here is huge. Not only for dresses but accessories as well. After trying on 6 dresses , I was torn between 3! I couldn’t find a single one anywhere else I had been. The consultant, Kelly immediately picked up on my style and breezed through helping me find dresses to try on. She was very friendly and made us feel so comfortable. I tried “the dress” on a total of 4 times and she never made me feel like I was being a pain. After picking it , there was champagne and she offered to take a boomerang video of the maid of honor and myself! I highly highly recommend looking for your dress here.
PDE was my second stop for wedding dress shopping and I wish it was my first! It was an amazing, stress free, no pressure experience! Kelly was so sweet, and knew exactly what I was looking for! My family and I had a blast when I was trying on dresses but when I found “the one”, that was it! I can’t wait to bring my bridesmaids to find their dresses there too and to see my dress again!
I can't say enough good things about Party Dress Express! From the list of designers and style numbers, my consultant, Zamantha, was able to translate that into a rack of gorgeous dresses, but the Morilee 8126 stood out like the Disney live-action Cinderella dress of my dreams. The store gave me updates when my dress was shipped and when I came in to try it on upon arrival, the staff was so friendly as they recommended options for veils and accessories. They even allowed the alterations consultant next door to come in to take a preview of the dress and discuss adding a corset back at the same time. Thank you PDE for finding the first dress I wore as a MRS!
I SAID YES TO THE DRESS AT PDE!
I drove up from Central FL to visit PDE to see what my mom has been telling me and from the moment I walked in I was matched up with Theresa and it was an automatic Friendship, My mother in law to be, speaks fluent Portuguese and it was a GOD send that Theresa spoke the common language of HONESTY, TRUST, PATIENCE & MOST OF ALL NO SALES PRESSURE!
Oh yes, of course, Portuguese :) I am blessed to have Theresa and her team of experts to help me with my upcoming special day.
Ladies if you want a GENUINE Bridal Experience, go to Party Dress Express for Your Special Day and ask THERESA.
Found my dress at Party Dress Express thanks to the wonderful Briana! She was so helpful and easy going through the whole process, especially when I was torn between two dresses and I needed to try both on a few times. Honestly I thought I had found the one and for most sales people that would be when they’d want to get the sale and get you out of there, but Briana reminded me there was one other dress on the rack I had pointed out and thought I should try it on anyway just to be sure. Sure enough I ended up going with that one! I couldn’t be happier with my dress (which was also perfect for my budget) or with my experience at PDE!
Found my perfect dress here after my second visit. I went to 5 or 6 different places before I came back here to try again. I knew what I was looking for and found it here. All the girls were helpful from day one. I also purchased all the girls dresses here and they were accommodating to all our needs. Would recommend!
Party Dress Express was my first stop for bridal dress shopping. I was not expecting to buy that day and was not finding anything I liked. Denise told me she knew just the dress I would love. She brought me the dress and I fell in love! Needless to say I purchased at my first stop and can’t wait for the wedding to wear the dress! Denise is incredible and when I met her she felt like family!
I visited a few different wedding dress locations before coming to Party Dress Express. I have to say they 100% had the best experience. My appointment was absolutely NOT rushed at all, they took their time to make sure they pulled all of my favorite dresses which were waiting for me when I arrived. I took my time in each of my top dresses to choose the right one and they always gave honest feedback. When I chose my dress, we popped some bubbly and took cute pics. They always wrote my name on the welcome board when they knew I was coming, the day of my appointment, the day of my fitting, and the day of pick up. They held my dress for as long as I needed and not to mention the prices were SO affordable. They have top brands and all of the consultants are amazing, I loved Jill who helped me in my try-on appointment she was so patient and got me into my dream dress! I will continue to recommend any bride to visit here - they will have exactly what you’re looking for.
Theresa, Theresa, Theresa! She is so sweet and really listens to get a neck, waist, length style for the bride and just picks up gowns that will look amazing on you but maybe not on the hanger. She was training sweet Briana, who I think will ultimately be as an amazing stylist as Theresa. No hard sell and honest feedback on dresses. My wedding is only 6 months away, so the manager contacted the designer warehouse to see if my size is available in the dress I want. Yes, it is! I was told 7-14 days before they get it. Oh, my!! There are $500-$1000 in discounts when ordering the bridal gown as well. Woohoo!! Subsequently I received a call that my wedding gown will be in by the end of January. As for my maid of honor/mother of the bride gown search I was informed the new styles will be delivered (early Jan) the Spring designs. To be continued after next shopping.........
I had a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress here. It was my first time, and I was pretty blind going into it. Briana, my consultant, was amazing. She was sweet, super helpful, reassuring and knowledgeable. The store was clean, the fitting rooms were spacious and they have a great selection. I lucked out and was able to find my PERFECT dress on the clearance rack, but they also had a huge selection of gorgeous dresses. Very satisfied with my experience at PDX!!
Denise made finding my wedding dress an easy, fun, and successful experience! She listened to my thoughts and kept me on track to finding the dress I felt comfortable and beautiful in! Thank you!
I had such an incredible experience shopping for my gown at Party Dress Express! Theresa was by far the most helpful and caring consultant I could have ever asked for or imagine. She made the experience so fun and easy, and gave her honest opinion in such a kind-hearted way. I would recommend this store to any bride shopping for their wedding gown, and I can’t wait to go back to shop for the MOB/MOG dresses as I’m sure it’ll be just as wonderful of an experience!
I had such a great experience here! Bought my prom dress here years ago and went back because they were having a bridal sale and I found an amazing dress. 10/10!
Had a great experience buying my wedding dress! Super nice staff, awesome selection and best prices around! I recommend Party Dress Express to everyone
They were extremely nice, accommodating, and easy going during my appointment! No stress and no pressure! I went in for one appointment and walked out with my perfect dress! The selection and prices of dresses was great and the consultants are honest and stick to your budget. Party dress express was amazing and I 10/10 would recommend!
Last Fall, I came in with my mother, chose a dress, and took it home, but then (much to my embarrassment) changed my mind a week later! Theresa was so understanding and kind, and she stayed on the phone with me while she searched through the racks, finally finding my #2 pick and arranging the exchange. Thankfully I never felt a shred of doubt about dress #2, and I happily got married in it on July 7, 2018. Thank you so much to Theresa and to everyone at Party Dress Express!
The bridesmaid appt. was scheduled several months in advance and we were all very much looking forward to this day. We arrived early and no one greeted us staff didn't help directing us what to do, where to go, etc. Finally after 1/2 hr w/no one assigned to us I had to ask the owner for help. she directed us to the dresses and then sent over an someone to help but she was terrible. Nice lady but not able to do her job at all. SHe needs to retire and I'm sorry to say that but its true. She wasn't one to help pick out dresses (we had to find our own) or give any constructive direction. Everything the ladies put on was "OH that s great, you look great, can I write that sale up for you" when the dresses looked terrible and was clearly apparent on their faces. Not much plus size selection either which is why we went there. Also, they gave us dressing room section that was one room short, so the girls had to wait to dry things on even with an advanced appt. The place was about 90 degrees too and had no water to offer us. THis was the most frustrating experience. The wedding dress and prom dress area seemed to operate better. The sad part is the new owner seemed very aloof not concerned about the customer service -how could she allow this to happen . So sad. We went to another store and it was amazing - just what you expect - a salesperson pulling dresses for your body type, asking what you like, really constructive feedback and professional attitude. Offering up swatches, etc. Night and day for sure.
I did not end up purchasing my dress at PDE, but I wanted to rave about how amazing Theresa was at helping both me and my bridesmaids out. Go to PDE; you will not be disappointed!!!!
The consultant was not at all prepared for my appointment. I had indicated I wanted a short dress and none were available. None of the dresses pulled were even close to the picture I showed her. The first dress on smelled like body odor, one had makeup stains on the inside. She left me with no clothing on huddled in the corner as to not be seen by the gap in the curtain. The last straw was when I couldn't even get the dress on.
This was the second bridal salon I visited. I wasn't planning to buy my dress but because my first salon experience was so bad , I wanted to try a few more places. I found the shop online and saw that they were having a red tag sale, so I grabbed by bridesmaids to check it out. I was thinking I would just get a chance to try on a few dress styles to get a better idea of what I liked. Instead, I ended up trying on about fifteen dresses that the helpful staff and my bridesmaids pulled off the showroom floor. This place is like a department store in size but the ladies know what they are doing. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. I not only ended up buying my dress that day but was so impressed that I brought my future mother-in-law here to get her dress for the wedding. If you are looking for good values and excellent service, I can't recommend it enough. It is also conveniently located right off the highway so it is easy to get to.
I bought my wedding dress today at Party Dress Express, it was a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and so helpful. My consultant, Theresa, was fabulous! I'm so happy and excited about my dress! It's my dream realized!
I was even able to line up the dress for my girls. I'd seen it online & my cousin was able to try it on, while we were there. It's a really pretty & flattering dress. Can't wait to see them in their dresses!
The select is great. I couldn't be happier!
I am thrilled with the bridal gown that I bought through Party Dress Express. They have a huge showroom with so many dresses to fit a wide range of budgets. The experience was easy, and stress free, and our consultant was supportive and fun to work with. She chose the dress that I ended up purchasing, and I never imagined a dress on myself like the one I ended up with! She knew exactly what would look the best on me, and helped me with the ins and outs of bridal dress shopping! We had a wonderful experience, and went back for our rehearsal dinner dresses as well. They are highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for a beautiful dress, for any budget!
My bridal consultant Gabby helped me find the perfect most flattering dress for my body and it worked out great! They also called me while a big sale was going on that my chosen dress was included in which helped some save a lot of money on it! I couldn't be happier with the service they provided!
I had a wonderful experience searching for the perfect dress! I only tried on 4 dresses and said yes to the 2nd one. The only hiccup I had is that I had a belt chosen however when I went to pick up the dress for whatever the reason the belt was not ordered as well. It was resolved with no difficulty afterwards. The women that assisted me and my bridesmaids with their fitting were professional and made sure we were satisfied. Would highly recommend!
Great selection of wedding dresses. But the best part was all alterations with their department are included in the price of the gown. This was a great experience with alterations as I was able to have 5 separate appointments and they were more than able to make all the changes I requested. If you are on a budget, I would highly recommend Party Dress Express due to the all inclusive pricing.
I was in and out with my wedding dress purchased in less than a half hour! I described the style that I was looking for and they were so helpful! I didn't feel overwhelmed at all! Thank you!
I decided to try Party dress Express because I wanted to go to a dress shop and be able to look around myself and not have to set up an appointment. My mother is a nurse and has a hectic schedule so I did not want to have to plan to go to a dress shop months in advance. I also called a lot of shops looking for dresses that were not strapless and was not having much luck. I read some reviews on this place and decided to make the hour trek out here with my mom. I am so glad that I did! When we arrived we were able to pull dresses off the racks to try on. Our consultant also picked out a few based on styles I was interested in. Aside from not being a strapless gown I wasn't sure what I wanted. I tried on 10+ gowns and was able to take my time doing so. I found a beautiful allure lace dress that I fell in love with. The cost of the dress was very reasonable and it included alterations. I later found a lace trim veil and belt to compliment the dress. Once the dress came in I had a few appointments with the alterations department. They were very nice and accommodating. I wasn't sure what kind of bra I could wear with the dress as it had a key hole back, and they were able to sew in cups. I am also very petite and they were able to fix the straps and back very nicely. My experience dealing with everyone at this location over the past nine months has been amazing. I highly recommend this place to all brides to be.
Made an appointment for 4pm. I drove a long way to get there. When I arrive the employee kept saying theres not much time- I started to look through gowns but then she proceeds to just drag me around the store..not even looking at dresses but going all over to different racks (total waste of time) finally I just say I am going to look at the gowns and pull out a couple I like . While I was trying on the gowns she made me feel terrible (much unlike other places i've been), acting like the gowns wont zip (when they for sure would), and telling me how my bra isn't the right size etc (I've lost a good amount of weight since I first bought the thing and I wasn't asking for opinion on that). She then rushed me out so they could leave shop right at 5pm.
I guess if you're only looking for a cheap gown try here- there are rips , broken zippers, makeup on the gowns, missing belts, etc.
and honestly, if 4pm (1 hr appointments) are not enough time that they dont even let you really look at the gowns, then they shouldn't offer that option!
I had the best experience here. Katrina, my consultant, was amazing!
I just had a baby 4 months before and was very apprehensive. Katrina was so helpful. She listened to what I wanted and pulled the most beautiful dresses. She helped us find the dress of my dreams and it was super reasonable. I highly recommend party dress express!!!
More for prom dresses or budget wedding dresses
I am so happy this store was recommended to me by a friend! I ordered my dress here and am happily awaiting its arrival. This store is so flexible when it comes to trying on dresses (I had several appointments before I found the dress) and the salespeople, especially Denise, are the perfect balance- they are not pushy with you (which I experienced at other stores) but they do bring in their own suggestions of dresses you may like. The price I paid for my gown includes the alterations so I won't be expecting any big added costs (the only thing they did say was there is a $20 charge to have bra cups sewn in). Overall, so happy with my experience so far and I can't wait to go in for my first fitting.
I got my dress here and it was awesome. Getting past the fact that there's prom gowns everywhere- yoh walk into the bridal section and there are So. Many. Gowns.
The girls that work there are all super friendly and informative. I worked with Kelly and she was my person throughout the whole process - including getting all my bridesmaids figured out. They have a designer clearance section- where if they have stopped making the dress the dress goes in that corner- it's 50% off! If you go online they also had a 20% off bridal month.
I got a Maggie Sorento dress that was originally $2,400 for $500. To top it off- they had me inspect the whole dress to make sure it was in great condition before I put the deposit down. If you buy a dress in that section - for $200 you can buy an alterations package. So with that I got a bussle added, the dress was brought up to my height, and they took a flower off and added beading and it was all included in that original $250!
Because I bought the dress there- they give you "bridal dollars" which can go towards other accessories. My bridesmaids also bought their dresses from there and I got more "bridal dollars". I ended up putting that towards a $150 veil and ended up paying $60 for it.
This place has everything for any kind of wedding and I'm so happy I got past the name of it and just went in. So. Awesome.
I cannot say enough good things about Party Dress Express! I went here after several friends recommended it. Boy am I glad I did. I had been to two other dress shops and was extremely disappointed both with the selection and the service. At dress express, they seemed to have an endless sea of dresses! I had plenty of options within my price range.
The service was really the selling point. I went about four times before picking "the dress." Each time I went in, I was greeted with a smile, they always remembered me and my mother, and they were genuinely happy to help me find my dress. They made great recommendations that I would not have thought of, and gave honest feedback when asked for their opinions. This is going to sounds cheesy, but they really make you feel like a family member that they are helping to find a dress for.
Then came the fittings, and even more pleasant reports. The seamstress was an EXPERT, and so nice and fun. She even shed a tear at the final fitting and gushed about how I would make a beautiful bride.
Start to finish, a five star experience!
All the ladies went above and beyond helping me with anything and everything. Taizha was truly helpful from the dress to all the accessories. She was even available by e-mail when I needed. They had an amazing collection and had the best pricing around. The dress I went with was actually $700 cheaper and included bridal alterations than another local store. Will recommend it to anyone. I went to at least 10 different bridal stores and they win for everything but what really sold me was the customer service. Thank you again Taizha, Jacqui, and Kelly.
The name is not remotely indicative of this salon's level of class! Not only did they have an enormous selection to choose from, thy were hugely helpful, very patient, and had the cleanest and classiest dressing rooms (more like dressing suites) to change in. They have beautiful chandeliers, full length mirrors, and private viewing areas with seating for your friends and family. This place was truly the classiest of all the Boston salons I tried. I cannot say enough about their patience and politeness. They did t carry the dress I ultimately bought but they ordered it for me ($500 cheaper than the salon I found it in) and they do free alterations and even shipped it out of state once they altered it. On my fitting day they treated me like absolute royalty - offering us drinks and all helping out with the fitting. I don't have a single bad thing to say. I had been to every salon, big and small, in and around Boston and this one blew me away! They kept in constant contact with me about my dress and we're always prompt in responding when I emailed about any questions. Taizha went above and beyond. She and her team were on top of every detail!!
They also gave my sister in law a great discount On her dress and shipped it directly to her house so she could have it altered by her seamstress.
So many dress options! Also, all the employees are helpful and so polite.
I ended up going to Party Dress Express on a whim because they were having a trunk show for a designer I was interested in. I ended up finding the perfect dress that day, and my experience was truly wonderful. I felt the girls there really knew what they we're doing and I was treated so well. I was so happy with my dress shopping experience that I brought all my girls back there to get their bridesmaids dresses. I must have gone to that store upwards of 15 times and not once did I have a bad experience! Everyone there is so kind and willing to make the process of buying a wedding dress the best it can be. I would not recommend anywhere else!!
I went to Party Dress Express after hearing a commercial, and decided I would just check it out. I ended up finding my wedding gown and my bridesmaids gowns! The bridal team is super friendly and helpful. They made sure that I was happy with everything I picked out. The prices were reasonable, and with alterations included on bridal gowns, they really can't be beat! I would definitely recommend Party Dress Express to future brides for a happy, stress free dress shopping experience! :)
A friend of mine suggested I go to Party Dress Express for my wedding dress since she had been there in the past for pageant dresses and had great luck. I had looked at a few smaller boutique shops with no luck, and PDE had a huge selection. I liked that we didn't need to make an appointment and we were able to get a dressing room right away. The consultant I worked with was so nice and attentive. I found my dream dress (Maggie Sottero - Bronwyn) and was excited to find out that the cost of alterations is included in the dress price. My dress needed minor alterations and I was so happy with how it came out.
I brought my mom here to find her MOB dress and had a slightly different experience. The attendant we had was less helpful but we did find her a beautiful dress. When it came in it had an extra visible seam on the ruching that just didn't look right. When we pointed it out during her alterations they said it was just how the dress was made and there was nothing they could do to hide it. She ended up sewing over it when made it look worse! My mom decided to bring it to a different seamstress who was able to fix it properly and the dress turned out beautiful.
I would recommended Party Dress Express if you are OK with the casual atmosphere. For alterations, I would think about taking it elsewhere if you need major alterations. At the end of the day I had a perfect dress and a perfect wedding day.
Before going to PDE I went to david's bridal where my family and I couldn't touch the dresses and they didn't have the style ( lace sweatheart neckline) i was looking for. So when we went to PDE we were all so excited to attack the racks and find dresses that might look good on my body. I tried everything even if it wasn't the style I knew I wanted. I didn't have to make an appointment and I still had my own consultant to help me with anything I needed. They had so many dresses to choose from and they were all very pretty! It isn't as upscale as maybe alexander's boutique but they still have a ton to choose from. It is like an old factory or warehouse setup to it. There were 2 issues with my experience the first and scariest for a bride was when I ordered my dress because of the style they told me they needed my exact measurements in order to order it hallow to hem which means exact length so the lace detailing wouldn't be messed up during alterations. Well when the dress came in the dress was the measurements I was but because a brand new dress fits differently then a dress tried on by many the dress was up to my ankles. Very scary! The good thing was I was way ahead of schedule on my timeline so they ordered a new dress the length it comes and their seamstress did the alterations along with taking it in some below my hips to give it more of a curve appeal. She did great! And second a BM dress came in with a stain on it but she got that out too! And the third thing was my original tiffany blue color got discontinued after I ordered the BM dresses so i went to turquoise Once my issue with my dress they were always there to help and even gave me the managers email to contact if I needed anything. The only downfall would be that they are bad at answering the phones but fairly good at calling you back if you leave a message. And they don't pick up on the weekends even tho they are open.
If I could give this store zero stars, I would. The entire experience here was terrible! When picking out bridesmaids dresses, we were rushed into trying dresses on (one of the bridesmaids was shoved right into her dressing room!). When we finally decided on a dress & were having our measurements taken, the sales associate was telling some of us to either wear a spanx or to lose weight! How humiliating is that?!?
When it came time for the bride to try on wedding dresses, we were told to "do our jobs as bridesmaids & get dresses for her to try on" & we were left to fend for ourselves. Great customer service right???
Alterations were terrible! All they had to do on my dress was the hem & taken in a bit around the bust. The second fitting, my dress was way too tight! I was given some lame excuse about how taking in the bust affects the waist (my mom was a seamstress for years & I know this isn't true).
During the alterations, we kept noticing spots on our dresses. It looked like someone didn't wash their hands before working on them.
Needless to say, I won't be going to this store for anything to do with my wedding!!
I found my dress on my second try and it was 1/2 off! The staff is usually helpful and the seamstress Genn did a terrific job on my alterations. The only problem I had was at the reception my bustle was a little too long and I fell during our first dance! But it's something memorable to look back on.
I purchased my wedding gown here. The service was impeccable. I was very impressed with the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. The alterations were included in the purchase price of the dress. The seamstress was lovely and made the whole experience stress free. Highly recommend!
I visited the shop after a recommendation from a friend thinking we would look around. With the helpful staff, I tried on more than a dozen dresses in styles I like and ones I was unsure off that one of the assistants helped pick out. I fell in love with a couple dresses that day and fell in love with a dress I would never have chosen on my own! The alterations were included in the price and were done perfectly working with a tight timeline! Everyone there is very helpful and my dress looked beautiful!
Had heard about this store from a friend so decided to check it out. I was amazed at the different styles and designers they carried. From DvF to Alice+Olivia to all kinds of great accessories. I bought a great dress. The staff is great, they dropped everything they were doing and basically helped me pick out a great outfit. Very down to earth atmosphere and they made me feel super comfortable. Definitely check it out!!
This is the place where I have seen the best Bridal Gowns and I got mine from here. I would recommend all brides to be to check this place out too.
