This place and it's owner are a complete SCAM!!!
I went in here in February & thought Melanie was so nice and I had found the dress of my dreams.
The sample dress I tried on was many sizes too big so Melanie measured me & sent the measurements... somewhere for the dress to be made.
After waiting 6 MONTHS to get my dream dress, I finally received the dress & it was NOT the same as the sample dress I tried on and loved.
I was measured completely wrong by Melanie.
The cups did not fit in the bust & the back would not close because the measurements were so off. The material was not the same, the bust detail was a mess and the boning made my chest look like pointy cones like I was starring in a 1980s Madonna video.
I cried for 2 days straight. I was absolutely devastated.
It was only 60 days away from my wedding at this point & 6 months had been wasted away when I could have been finding another dress.
Melanie told me I had to go get professionally measured to see if there was any difference in the measurements she took in February & the new ones the seamstress I found took in August.
Now mind you, I am the same size all the time. I never gain or lose weight.
So when the new seamstress did my measurements & I sent them to Melanie, Melanie contacted me & said I "must have been working out my back in the gym too much" as if she had any clue on if I even worked out in the gym or not.
She never took responsibility for ANYTHING.
Not only that, but Melanie contacted my new seamstress by phone & tried to convince my seamstress that I must have been "bulking up" for my wedding.......AS IF ANY BRIDE BULKS UP FOR HER WEDDING!!
My seamstress was very irritated by Melanie and knew she was just trying to save face and get her on her side, so she ended up hanging up on Melanie and telling me all about that phone call.
At this point, I've already paid for the dress in full and alterations for the terrible dress to try to be fixed or the sample dress to be altered down to my size were $1000.
So now because Melanie measured me wrong and I lost 6 months' worth of time, my dress was now going to cost me another $1000 on top of the full price I paid for the dress, plus shipping.
My now-husband and I spoke to Melanie and she admitted she outsources her dresses to a factory in China to be made so there is NO guarantee that the dress you try on in the store will be the dress you end up receiving for your wedding.
And not only that, if there's any issues, Melanie will not take any responsibility.
I ended up demanding to get the larger sample dress from the boutique in exchange for the terrible dress. My seamstress looked at the terrible dress up and down, inside and out and on my body and said there was just no way she could fix it to fit me properly.
She agreed with me that I should get the sample dress from the boutique and she could alter it to fit my body.
I didn't trust Melanie at this point so we sent the dresses to each other at the same time on the same day.
Melanie told me on the phone that when she received the dress from me that she would have someone professionally measure it and if the measurements were indeed off (which everyone knew they were) then she would see about helping with some type of compensation or something monetarily to go towards the $1000 in alterations because my costs on this now are basically like me buying 2 wedding dresses!
Low and behold, I never heard from Melanie again.
I would not recommend this place to anyone!
