Countless times I've gone formal dress shopping only to leave the "big box store" in tears and disappointment. The dresses off the rack never fit. I am so thankful I found The Red Brick Cottage for my formal attire. I made an appointment for a private dress fitting and all attention was on me! It felt amazing to work with staff who understood my concern with sizing and my desire to feel beautiful on my special day. The very first dress I tried on fit like it was made for me. No alterations necessary (which is always a plus). Most importantly, I felt and looked beautiful. My experience was absolutely amazing. I will be visiting this sweet boutique from this moment on. I highly recommend them!

Michelle made my experience stress free and fun. She was complimentary and made me feel genuinely special. She’s also incredibly knowledgeable and just a joy to be around. Plus, the boutique does more than formal attire, and had some really cute and fun finds. Definitely a must visit

If I could give higher than a 5 I would. I found my wedding gown today at their store. It was such an amazing experience. The staff was amazing. It was such a personal and inspiring environment. They had so many dresses to pick from and the prices are unbelievable. They have something for all budgets. I have had rough times in the past trying on dresses and they truly changed my experience. They were so uplifting and made me feel so beautiful. I found my dress and left I’m happy tears. I can’t wait to bring my bridesmaids back for their dresses here soon. I would 10/10 recommend them for any wedding or formal dresses you may need 😃

The team @ Red Brick Cottage was extremely professional and courteous. My mother and I both went in looking for attire for my son's wedding. We both found the perfect dresses in coordinating colors for each other and the event. We loved our experience!

Took my mother here to look for mother of the bride dresses. Michelle was very knowledgeable and helpful! We were able to find the perfect dress within minutes of arriving, after months of searching at other places. We were able to order it same day and it arrived within a few short weeks. Dresses were affordably priced, very inclusive in sizing, and a wide range of colors available. All staff in store were friendly. The frenchies were adorable too!

Preparing for my wedding was overwhelming, especially when it came to shopping for my dress. I am very well endowed in the chest department and am very hard to fit. This shop, these ladies, specialize in clothing for curvy ladies. Michelle immediately made me less anxious with her professionalism, her kindness and her understanding ways. I told her what I had in mind and she had it ready when I went for my appointment. She also had other suggestions, as did my daughters. Not only did I find "the dress" but ended up with two other formal dresses for upcoming cruises. And maybe some other pieces. They are very knowledgeable. And the prices were incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend this shop.

This vendor while new to Wedding Dresses, and dresses for bridal party, mother and so on, is right on the mark. They cater to plus size women. The owner, Michelle, who is a plus size woman herself can relate to the bride on so many levels and help alleviate many of the stresses of getting the perfect dress (from shapewear, bra's and even accessories). My daughter a plus size woman who just had a baby and felt like there was no way she would find her special dress. Not only did she find her dress, it was AFFORDABLE, and she was pampered throughout the whole process. To watch my daughter go from nervous about the process and feeling hopeless to crying when she tried on the perfect one, was so emotional and amazing. The dresses aren't size 0, they are plus size to try on so you really get a look whether you need alterations or not (we don't, other than hemming) and I honestly can't rate this little shop/boutique anything but EXCELLENT! If you are plus size, don't let this shop get by you, you will not be sorry!
