Say Yes for Less

o see how dresses would look off the rack and tried on. She was straightforward in her comments on what looked good and what didn't, which we appreciated. Pamela also helped us to identify how my daughter's dress could be altered to be taken in, let out, and how the train design could be preserved when hemming. After we purchased the dress, she told us to come back two months before the wedding to work with her on-site seamstress to make the alternations she had suggested. An estimate for alterations was given as $500. Based on this outstanding experience, my next daughter chose to use the same salon after looking at various other stores first. We made an appointment, but when we arrived, Pamela was helping another customer and we were assigned to a young sales attendant. Fortunately, my daughter also found her dress (although at a much higher price point) and we confirmed the arrangements for alterations. When the first daughter reached out to schedule her alterations appointment three months before the wedding, Pamela scheduled it and then subsequently canceled it less than a week before the appointment because she no longer offers this service on site! She recommended a seamstress for us to call (at a boutique in Georgetown), but basically we were left on our own to find someone to alter the gown. We felt like we were left hanging at the last minute and would have appreciated a more honest conversation about alterations up front, rather than a sales pitch.

ir help. You can tell they're all truly passionate about what they do and want to help brides find the dress of their dreams. I was supposed to have another appointment right after this one and ended up canceling it because I found my dream dress. I was in communications before and after my appointment with Pamela. After my appointment, I emailed Pamela to personally thank her for the service and attention I received. Highly recommend visiting this store for your dress! The attention and service they provide is amazing!

nd, but having visited five other stores previously and not finding many options, I was willing to spend a bit more to get what I wanted. The associate I worked with helped me find a wedding dress that checked all the boxes on my wish list. It was nice to buy a new dress off the rack so I could keep it at home in the months leading up to the wedding as opposed to waiting for one to be shipped. I also had my dress alterations done at Say Yes for Less. They charged me a flat fee of $600 cash for all the alterations. The seamstress and shop owner who worked with me made sure my concerns with my dress were addressed. I was a bit disappointed that the straps on my dress couldn’t be tightened further (they kept slipping due to my posture), but their suggestion of using fashion tape helped keep the straps up for most of my wedding. Overall, I would recommend Say Yes for Less to other brides looking for a wedding dress.

fferent shopping experience. You get to browse through all the dresses along with your consultant, and of course all the dresses are sold off the rack. I definitely recommend coming with a couple of helping hands who know what you like and enjoy the browsing experience! It is smaller than your traditional bridal boutique, but there is still a good selection to choose form. My consultant and friends pulled a bunch of dresses for me, none of which were quite right. Then Pam pulled a dress that was beautiful, classic, and fit me perfectly. You can tell she is passionate about her dresses and wants to see them all appreciated! Even though it was different from what I thought I wanted, it ended up being absolutely perfect. It's also good to keep in mind that even though this place sells discounted gowns, they are very high quality designer gowns at discounted prices. So none of the dresses are "cheap", but they are very high quality. I got a dress in my price range that I definitely wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. I am a street size 6 so I can't speak to the ease of finding larger sizes. I would recommend shopping around for alterations. I was quoted ~$500 for alterations at SYFL and got it done for $320 elsewhere. But overall, a great experience for me.
