I found a great dress for a very good price. The owner is very experienced and has a very good eye to find a style of dress that would fit me. In trying 4 or 5 dresses I had alread...
y narrowed down to what I wanted! There was no pressure to buy on the spot like a lot of other stores so I took some time to think about which one I liked best. She was also very great in calling me to make appointment and getting things done.
The dress arrived in the indicated time frame and was gorgeous. The alterations I did at the same place made it perfect for me and were also at a very reasonable price.
My guests and family raved about this dress! And my husband was amazed :)
One minor thing is one of the button that she added to hold up the back of the dress detached during the months I stored it, I should not have let it attached it and it would have been fine I think. My bridesmaids used a safety pin to help with that so it was no problem!
I recommend this store to all practical brides that maybe shop alone and want honest and good advice and great service.
I had a wonderful experience shopping for, purchasing, and altering my wedding gown at Pattrapon and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a personalized touch to ...
their gown shopping experience.
The shop is small and run by one woman, so definitely call and book an appointment in advance of your arrival, but I had no trouble finding a time that fit my schedule. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be Pattrapon's focus, with plenty of seating for any shopping buddies you bring with you. The shop had a broad selection of popular wedding designers in the sample inventory, and I felt comfortable asking her advice, as well as comfortable to do my own thinking and talking with my shopping buddies without feeling pressure to make decisions. The dress I selected arrived within the timeline promised by Pattrapon, who also arranged measurements and alterations and ensured that the alterations were perfect on my third and final visit. I cannot stress enough: DO get measured for any alterations before you take your dress home. The extra time and cost is worth it when you know your dress will be perfect, and getting everything done in one place is too easy not to ensure you look your best. Pattrapon took care of all stages of my dress buying and customization and removed one big worry from my wedding planning process.

or my special day. She even spotted flaws with my original dress I received, showing that it was not my actual dress, but a sample that was being passed off as my new dress!! I can't say thank you enough for all that she did to save my wedding!
I was very happy with my experience working with Pattrapon! Pattrapon is patient, kind, and professional, which was a relief with all the stress of wedding planning going on. I was...
searching for a long-sleeved wedding dress for my winter wedding, but they are hard to find. At Pattrapon's store, I found the most beautiful Maggie Sottero strapless dress. I was surprised when Pattropon easily and pleasantly agreed to make sleeves for the dress, which was not my experience at other bridal stores. I felt like she took time for as many fittings as necessary to be sure the dress was perfect. I would definitely recommend Pattrapon.
Once you begin your planning at Pattrapon you're in excellent hands. Pattrapon is indeed wherecdreams do come true as there's an amazing selection of dresses and alterations are d...
one to perfection! Pattrapons work is exceptional and timely. Pattrapon is truly a joy to work with as she listens to what the customer needs and is incredibly wonderful! We have been back with both our daughters!!! People travelnfrom all over to seek the expertise of Pattrapon.
I checked out several dress shops and had "meh" reactions to most...and then I found Pattrapon which was just right. She was very helpful and patient in finding a dress that matche...
d what I was looking for but wasn't pushy or fake which turned me off from some of the other stores I had been too.
She was great with the fittings too and had some helpful ideas of a few adjustments to make it fit perfectly. I couldn't have been happier with the alterations.
I used online reviews to help me pick this shop, and I'm glad I did! I had picked the dress I wanted online and needed to find a shop that carried it (Allure 8634). I had had the "...
David's Bridal Experience" and wasn't interested in fending off another over-zealous sales person. I called Pattrapon and scheduled an appointment to try the dress on. Her shop is small (room for 3-4 other people max.) but efficient. She had the dress waiting for me when I arrived for my appointment and I ordered it that day. The reviews I read said that she was a talented seamstress, and my experience was no different. I didn't like the jewels on the sash of my dress so Pon made a new one and sewed it on, as well as adding a modesty panel to the deep V-neck of the dress and she even styled a bow for the back per my request. I also had her make me a very simple veil and add a French bustle to the dress. Everything came out PERFECTLY, and was pretty inexpensive in my opinion. If you know what you want and are happy to ask for it, Pattrapon is right for you.
Pattrapon helped me choose a beautiful dress based on me telling her I was going for a classic Hollywood look. She also did a nice job on the minimal alterations I need (hem and ta...

What a gem! I worriedly called Pattrapon to inquire about dress alterations, after having a horrible experience in Georgetown. I purchased my Maggie Sottero dress in NYC last year...
and now wanted to have the top cut into a sweetheart neckline and taken in before the wedding.
Pattrapon was kind and professional when I met her, in her absolutely adorable bridal shop. After quoting me an extremely reasonable price for the requested alterations, she helped me into my dress. She suggested sewing in cups rather than messing with a bra, due to the way Maggie Sottero dresses like mine dip in the back. This put me at such ease that she was so familiar with the designer! Furthermore, she took the extra time to try a few different styles of bustling for my long, ruffled train before settling on the one that looked best.
I was extremely impressed with her expertise, precision, and patience with me. Never did I feel rushed or pressured. She clearly loves what she does, and it shows in her work ethic. Also, her shop was neat, clean, and appeared organized (which put my mind even more at ease leaving my gown with her!). I haven't quite seen the final result, but I just know it will be perfect. If I could do it over, I would have loved to purchase a dress from her based on my alteration experience.
Highly, highly recommend!
Pattrapon was very helpful and she was efficient. Loved working with her. I knew want I wanted and she was accommodating in every way.
I absolutely loved my dress. :) Pattrapon helped me find it and it was the first dress I tried on. I tried a few others, but knew it was the one. She provided excellent service, h...

I would definitely recommend purchasing a bridal gown from Pattrapon. The store is small but has a large selection of dresses to choose from. When you arrive you look through sever...
al books of gowns and mark the ones you want to try on. At first I thought this was a little weird but I understood since there just wasn’t enough space to have all the dresses hanging up around the room for you to rummage through. I also didn’t mind because by that point I knew the exact style of dress that I was looking for.
I found the dress of my dreams which I got a ton of compliments on and the best part is that it cost under $1000. Throughout the process, the owner of the shop was so attentive and sweet. She did an amazing job with the alterations I needed and with creating the bustle which was quite complicated. I was super happy with my experience at Pattrapon.
Pattrapon was wonderful. Her shop is small and quaint, but packed with wonderful dresses! She helped me find the dress I had in mind. I recommend her to any bride.
I enjoyed the store owner, and thought she had a nice shop. I ordered all 6 bridesmaid dresses with her and felt she purposely ordered them too big, expecting us to use her for alt...
erations. My sisters dress was so large the alterations costs her $200, they had to reconstruct the dress... I took the exact measurements required but all 6 came back too big. The dresses were beautiful in the end though, it just was expensive.
The boutique is small, but I found my dream dress in my first shopping trip; however, you might not be this lucky if you're super picky and need hundreds of options. Pattrapon (th...
e owner) was very friendly and put no pressure or forced opinions on me whatsoever. She did a great job with alterations and making a beautiful bustle. I would recommend this place, especially if you don't want the chaos and/or pressure of a huge store.
