The Bustle

t perhaps even more than I loved my wedding dress, I loved working with Mariah! She is so funny and sweet, which made appointments fun rather than tedious (even the tailoring!). She helped pick out tasteful accessories to complete the look and I loved how it all turned out. My now husband said my dress exceeded his expectations and there was nothing that he would have changed about it. Success! Ironically, I forgot to bustle my dress before our first dance so my poor husband was slipping, sliding, and hopping around trying to avoid the long train. So of course he thought it was hilarious when he heard I got my dress at the BUSTLE bridal boutique. Oh well - we had the best time and great memories that we will laugh about forever. I would recommend the Bustle to anyone.

gown, I found my wedding dress! She stayed well within my budget (on the lower end) and made the process so easy for me. She was very attentive and responsive to my questions. She also helped me pick out veils, shoes, and jewelry for the look. I highly recommend Mariah at The Bustle!

helped by one assistant. I was a bit nervous about trying on dresses as I wasn't sure what I wanted or what would be flattering on me. My bridal assistant spoke with me at length and made lots of notes; she was respectful of my taste and made helpful suggestions. She started to pull some dresses she thought I would like and let my three girls look around and pull some dress for me to try on as well. She helped me into every dress while my girls relaxed on the couch with champagne and cupcakes. I tried on 9 dresses before narrowing it down to the top three, which I tried on again. It was incredibly relaxing; I did not feel rushed or like I was being pushed into buying anything. I didn't expect to find a dress on the first try, but I did! I said YES TO THE DRESS! It took 3 months for the dress to arrive, and they shipped it across the country to me right away. The customer service and communication has been top notch on every account. I was so relieved for this process to be relaxing and truly enjoyable! Thank you so much for your amazing service!

and I loved that they had plenty of styles within my budget. I also liked that they offered a payment plan! I would highly recommend the Bustle to anyone.

ride she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She was also very helpful as our appointments progressed and finding lovely accessories for my dress as well. I couldn’t of been happier and felt like a princess. All other staff at The Bustle was as helpful on several phone calls and scheduling appointments for alterations. The Bustle runs a tight ship and you can be assured of getting excellent customer service.

ses and after trying on 10 different ones, I found THE ONE!! I said YES to the DRESS at the Bustle and I would recommend them to any Bride, Mother of the Bride, Bridesmaids, and Flower Girls!

n of the boutique with a candle lit, champagne glasses filled, and cookies waiting for you as you walk in the door. I worked with Robyn during my appointment and she was incredibly patient with me and my group. She even stayed open 30 minutes later to not rush me during my appointment. Although I didn't get my dress at the Bustle I had to take the time to review them because I was really impressed with their customer service and their dresses.

otos in them the next day. I finally went to my appointment at the Bustle and I am so glad I did! It was honestly the best bridal appointment that I had. Sara talked through the photos I showed her, asking questions about what I'd envisioned. The very first dress - was the one - my mom teared up as soon as she saw me in it. Still I did try a few more dresses that Sara had selected and truly, all of them were beautiful making it difficult to choose. Sara's recommendations were completely on point as every dress she selected spoke to certain elements of what I had in mind; something I had not experienced at other boutiques. The whole experience was uncomplicated and fun for my mom and I, with champagne and cupcakes to top it off!

am dress! Everyone is so accommodating, the staff is wonderful! I worked with Leilani who was so wonderful and sweet! And I don't know if it was the timing on when I went in to shop for my dress, but my dress only took 3 months to come in, which was a serious stress reliever! Thank you so much @thebustle for making my dress shopping the most exciting part of wedding planning so far! I will definitely recommend this place to any future bride-friends of mine!

e found just that. I got to try on some gorgeous dresses and really felt like a Bride for the first time when I was there, and I had been to one other boutique before this. That doesn't say anything bad about the other boutique, just how AMAZING The Bustle is. The whole process was seamless and I loved the champagne.

advice when I wanted to make alterations, and she was at every fitting appointment to be my second pair of eyes since my mom could not be there. I went to a lot of different places to find my dress, but I never felt more comfortable and welcomed than at The Bustle. Thank you Mariah!

we have wonderful memories of the perfect dress shopping day! Not to mention - my dress also came in two months early, I found my veil here and that came in early too!! I love the personalized experience and the price point is perfect for all brides as well. Couldn’t recommend The Bustle enough!!

e your name, step into your own private bridal salon and start trying on dresses it is classy and elegant every step!! I had my eye on designer, Enzoani and after trying on 4 gorgeous ones; it wasn't until the last dress that my amazing consultant, Sara, pulled for me did I find "the one"! It actually made me tear up and envision walking down the isle to my fiance. Even more, her 'suggestion' wound up being under my budget and showed me she was really listening to what I wanted, our wedding theme and value. I couldn't have been more pleased with the atmosphere and Sara. (there were 2 other consultants that popped in and they seemed really sweet and genuine too) To sum up: *Beautiful selections with reasonable to extravagant pricing options *They do not "sell" you, they "serve" you *You get that authentic personalized touch that every bride deserves *You do not feel "rushed" or "pressured" to buy *I brought both my cousin and mom and they were very kind to them as well; even with 2nd fitting appt., they STILL make you feel special and bridal :)

had subsequently.

was the ONLY place I went to find my dress and never felt I needed to go anywhere else. I loved everything about it and had the best experience. They treat you right and make you feel so special for your big day! I went back and bought the hair pin from their shop as well! My wedding day was October 21 and it could not have been anymore perfect and I can't thank you guys enough! My dress was everything I could have hoped for and more! My husband was wow'd when he saw me in my dress! :) I will send pictures as soon as I get my photos from the photographer! Thank you! If you're considering a place to shop, this should definitely be on your list!! They do not disappoint!

wer quality. I had some pretty horrible experiences with shop owners requesting I wire them money and trying to show up at my home to goad me into a purchase...well my best friends saved the day and took me took The Bustle when I was in San Diego for wedding planning. My only complaint would be that the girl who helped me didn't fully explain how the back of the gown would look or go over the bustle with me. However, It was such a positive experience, and I was able to find a gown I loved at a good price, which left me the option to tailor that gown to be a truly customized dream gown. The girls at The Bustle were lovely and helpful. I would recommend this bridal salon to any bride looking for a fun and positive "Yes to the dress" moment!

dies!!1

that was the one! I had to cancel my following bridal appointments because I found my dress at the Bustle instantly! Great service, beautiful selections, and not to mention complimentary champagne! I would highly recommend the Bustle.

what I wanted as a bride. She also pulled all the bits and pieces I loved about previous dresses into one fantastic gown she had in the back! It was an overall wonderful experience, and I would recommend this shop to anyone :)

ed us. She was really nice. She asked about my preferences and my price range and picked out a few dresses to try on. She really helped me find the dress I love. I would absolutely recommend you go and see if you can find your dress here. It is definitely a wonderful experience. -Melynda

o listen to my vision of how I wanted to look at my wedding, and she worked tirelessly to help find me the perfect dress and veil--all the while making the experience so fun and magical. I felt like the only bride in the world while at The Bustle, and the experience was truly one-of-a-kind. I would highly recommend The Bustle to family, friends, and coworkers because the selection and customer service were unlike anything I have experienced before. Thank you Sara and The Bustle for a wonderful experience and for helping me find my perfect dress and veil--I will be forever grateful!!

st dress. As my mom, my best friend and I sipped champagne, I bought my wedding gown and veil! I had the best experience at the Bustle!! We had a last minute change in our wedding date because of my dad's illness, and when I called the Bustle to see about getting my dress, they went above and beyond to get it to me as soon as possible. They were amazing!!!!

rst time trying on gowns. Mariah made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. She really listened to what I said and pulled so many beautiful gowns that I loved. Was very impressed with the selection. I also really appreciated that she was very respectful of me not being ready to commit to a dress at our appointment, but was helpful with letting me know she would write everything down and keep on file. Thank you Mariah and The Bustle for this great and fun experience.

ne didn't hurt either! I had brought in some pictures of what I had in mind, but based on the initial dresses the consultant pulled, I wasn't totally convinced I was going to find "the one". After I tried on the first dress, I was even less convinced. And then the consultant's wheels started turning, and she went in the back and pulled another dress. And that was it - she nailed it. She was very patient and sweet as I did FaceTimed with my mom and my sister, who both live in PA and so unfortunately couldn't come with me. The only downside is that they don't do alterations, so I will need to find a separate seamstress (though they did provide some recommendations). Anyway, I had a great time and would definitely recommend checking out The Bustle!!

hat I wanted and my price ranges and didn't push me out of my comfort zone - which was refreshing and appreciated! I highly recommend them!

the budget and get the dress. While the dress is truly beautiful, I am certain that we were so sold on the dress because of the amazing dress buy experience. Having a small private room with just my family and I was awesome! Sara was so helpful and pulled dressed I would have never picked out...in fact I would have never selected the dress I ended up in on my own. What girl doesn't love being greeted with champagne and being given 1-1 attention while trying stunning dress after stunning dress.

he gal know that and she said we would have time, but if something opened up earlier she would let me know. We hang up. 15 minutes later she calls back and says she talked to the manager and was able to open up the upstairs for me at 11am. So excited! I get there for my appointment and there's a chalkboard with my name on it welcoming me personally, and champagne and treats waiting for us too. The whole experience felt magical, and they were spot on helping me pick out the perfect dress, even though my wedding was only 5 months away. They were all very sweet and professional, I would highly recommend.

sultant Stephanie with champagne and felt very welcomed. Stephanie, (who had told me she was brand new and that she has been at The Bustle for 2 weeks), was AWESOME! She was so sweet, really listened to what I wanted, listened to my love story, and truly cared about finding my dress. I would have never known that she was a brand new hire! She pulled dresses around my budget and brought out what I was interested in and what I had described. I THOUGHT I had found THE dress, but after getting the final cost (including the first purchase 15% discount) + veil + tax, I had told her that I still wanted to look at other options (EVEN THOUGH I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DRESS). Stephanie did not make me feel guilty about leaving the shop without buying the dress, but she did make me feel like it was THE DRESS and that I would for sure be coming back. I really thought I did... However, after checking out another bridal boutique/shop later that day, I had said yes to a completely different wedding dress. I called The Bustle right after my purchase at the other boutique to let them know that I had found the dress elsewhere, and they were genuinely kind and happy for me that I said YES TO THE DRESS! I highly suggest coming here, especially if it is your first time. But, be ready for the cost! You will be spending some $$$$! Stephanie, if you are reading this, you rock! Although I did not decide to buy my dress at The Bustle, I really appreciated your patience and your passion for bridal gowns. Every bride that gets to work with you is very lucky! THANK YOU!!!!!

y realize my style. Thank you!

rice I wanted (after working with them for discounts). PROTIP: they give 15% discount if you buy your dress on the first day. I thought I would only be able to find a decently priced dress at David's Bridal but I found David's Bridal dresses felt like they were made of cheaper material and were just as expensive!

ars of joy. I couldnt imagine not wearing this dress on my big day - it was spectacular! Everyone there was so helpful and sweet. Im beyond thrilled I decided to go to The Bustle - the experience was nothing shy of AMAZING! All new bride-to-be's MUST go there!

of dresses and were very respectful of my budget. I never felt pressured to up my budget or felt turned away. I actually got a dress that was under my budget and something I am soooo beyond excited to wear on my wedding day. Sarah- specifically helped me a ton and I am extremely grateful for the experience she gave me at the store. Thank you The Bustle and Sarah, you have made my wedding day so special.

s! Sarah was amazing, and there was no pressure to buy, but you do get quite a discount if you buy the day of. Plus they are happy to set up a payment plan if you need it as well. We had such a great time trying on dresses and drinking champagne :) Thank you to Sarah & the Bustle for all of your help!

ined me for the fun. Strong opinions can be hard to override but having a stylist that's asking me what I felt and thought rather than telling me (ahem - mom and friends) was incredibly helpful. There's even a 15% first visit discount. Amazing! I've recommended it to at least 5 girlfriends already and I didn't even buy the dress 24 hours ago yet. The only downside is I thought I got an awesome deal and then searched the design today, and it seemed to be cheaper online...what isn't these days? It's was an unforgettable experience, and I'm glad I did it. I do wish I would've looked at online pricing before buying, but life lesson learned.

exactly what your looking for! And the champagne doesn't hurt! Thank you again to Natalie! I couldn't be happier!!!!

and I am so glad i went. They gave champagne and light sweets. My family loved the whole experience too. The only think I was taken superise they didn't have corsets or gown bra's to where underneath the gown. I have gone dress shopping for other girlfriends when they went dress shopping and they were lent a corset bra.

ked in. I had a private appointment and their undivided attention. I literally had the best time trying on dresses and felt very special. I wish I could do it all over again! I also thought it was going to be way over my budget but I was so pleased to find they has a big price range and had many affordable dresses. My wedding was only a couple months away, so I was actually able to buy a dress off the rack for a discounted price which was awesome. Everyone at the Bustle was so helpful in helping me chose "the one". The lady who did alterations was amazing and fixed absolutely everything about the dress that needed to be fixed and even things I didn't realize needed to be fixed which made the dress that much more perfect. It truly fit like a glove when I wore it on our wedding day and I liked it 100xs more than I did when I bought it! ALL of the staff was amazing. I don't live near my family or most of my bridesmaids so I went to a lot of the fittings by myself but the staff really felt like friends and gave great input- from the alterations, to the veil and jewelry. Such a positive and happy atmosphere. I couldn't have been happier getting my dress here:) Thank you to everyone at the Bustle!

bride and on all subsequent alterations appointments the girls working always remembered my name, asked about the wedding and my fiance and made you feel like a VIP. My consultant helped me pick the perfect the dress and I couldn't be happier with the experience I had.

for the perfect wedding gown. She really knew exactly what I was looking for within a few minutes of talking to me. She made me feel very comfortable in the fitting room and was really friendly the entire time. I loved that the boutique had separate stores for each bride, making the appointment very personalized, without feeling another bride was there looking at the same dresses. Although there were 2-3 dresses that I fell in love with, she did not pressure me at all to buy one on the spot. She understood that it was important for me to have my mother there to help me decide on a second visit. Overall, I had a really great experience and would definitely recommend Natalie at The Bustle Boutique to any bride-to-be!

f, and its a beautiful room at that! They had a great selection of dresses and truly make you feel like a princess. I said YES to THE DRESS at my first and only appointment because I just knew it was the one! They fit me in one more time so that I could try on their beautiful and wide selection of accessories before I had to leave. Sarah was THE BEST! she let me try on everything and anything and was so helpful when trying to pick out the perfect accessories. If you're in the area and getting married, The Bustle is an amazing place to experience everything you'd hope a bridal salon appointment to be!

de in the world during my appointment, and as a non-shopper, that took the pressure off and made it a very enjoyable experience for my mom, best friend and me. Leilani was a perfect consultant and I would recommend The Bustle to anyone looking for an intimate and fun dress shopping experience.

comfortable throughout the whole process. After going to several other boutiques, we couldn't stop thinking about The Bustle and what a good experience we had. I would recommend this boutique to all other brides!

nacks. What I really liked was that when you're trying on dresses you have what feels like your own little boutique. It feels so personal and intimate. I was so impressed with my experience I told a friend she HAD to go here... she ended up finding her dress at the Bustle too! :)

of other try ons I found the most beautiful lace mermaid dress for my skirt. AND I could add straps to it for the reception. YES! I was so excited and so thankful for our special and easy the whole proess was. My Mom and Best Friend equally enjoyed there experience of champagne and girl talk! Thank you so so much! I can't wait for my wedding with 2 dresses!!

when my dress doesn't come in the size so she got in a dress that had the same natural waist as the one I like to see if we could add a corset top to mine and I put on the dress and it zipped up completely. She ordered my dress in the same size and I can't wait until it comes in. The staff at the Bustle is amazing!! Thank you so much for everything you guys have done.

ked it up and thank GOD I did! I met Matija and had the whole room to myself. It was the perfect environment. She was so friendly, she instantly made me feel so calm and confident. We discussed what I thought I wanted, and what my budget was. Then she pulled some ideas while I was able to walk around and grab anything I thought I may like. I bought the 2nd dress I tried on. (And she picked out!).

finished at Here Comes the Bride and I hadn't found a dress I wanted to commit to. We called in to schedule an appointment and they had one appointment free the next day. Perfect! When you book with The Bustle, they give you a whole room to yourself (there are two boutiques right next to each other, and each boutique hosts one bride). The girls who work there transfer the dresses from room to room around the back. When me, my parents, brother and maid of honor arrived, outside was a welcome sign that read "Welcome Kaelyn, our bride to be". I thought this was adorable. It felt custom, personal. That is what The Bustle is great at. Being personal. I was greeted at the door by Tiffany, who immediately introduced us to free champagne and sweets, comfortable couches and a very chic boutique lined with beautiful gowns. She was very sweet, so helpful and knowledgeable. She never made me feel dumb, and I truly felt she wanted me to find my perfect dress rather than pressuring me into buying. The Bustle has a great selection of dresses that are perfect for younger brides. I think my difficulty with the other shop was that I felt the dresses I was being brought weren't age appropriate for a 21 year old bride. Tiffany brought in tons of great dresses, belts, and veils, kept it fun, and really encouraged me to not count anything out. I also love that on your first visit, you get a 15% discount off of anything that you buy that day. So even if you don't find a gown, but you love a veil or accessory, you can still purchase these for a great price. I'm so happy I found my wedding dress that day, I'm still amazed at not only how beautiful the gown looked on me but how little money it cost. I bought my dress, veil, accent belt and gown preservation kit through this shop. When I was about to commit to the dress I ended up purchasing, another gal who worked there peeked in and shouted in excitement when she saw me. I have a funny video that my MOH took of it, it makes me smile. That kind of excitement is what I really loved. There are hundreds of brides that come through those doors, but to still be able to be so excited by your job shows that The Bustle has really hired the right girls. Choose this shop! You won't regret it. And shout out to Tiffany! See you soon!

e dresses I had my dress!! I love my dress and was thrilled. I will say that alterations ran me higher than I expected, but you could always have your dress altered elsewhere. Really had a wonderful experience!!

e best team!

t, attentive, encouraging, fun. She made my first time trying on dresses absolutely perfect. She listened to my likes and dislikes, paid attention to our budget, and made me feel beautiful and special. She was so warm with all of my family and made everyone very comfortable. I ended up finding THE DRESS. I haven't stopped thinking about it since and am going back to soon to meet with Sarah and get it on order. I would highly recommend The Bustle to any bride searching for a great experience and great selection of dresses. Oh, another aspect I loved, we had a smaller room all to ourselves, so it was very private. No other brides in the mirrors or people running around. Even my dad came at the end to see the dress. The whole experience was beyond words.

champagne, treats...they even welcomed me on a chalkboard outside the salon! I showed up an hour early and they were very accomadating. I'm a bride who really enjoys value. I bought my dress during the first consultation which saved me 15% off of everything, and since I live in NYC, I didn't have to pay sales tax. Overall this saved me about $500! I highly recommend the Bustle.

The team at The Bustle has been amazing to work with, and really took the time to understand what style I was looking for, and then kept bringing me options until we knew we'd found the one! I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Maria (the sales lady) was amazing. She helped me feel comfortable in the process and didn't try to make me fall in love with a dress that was over my budget. She knew exactly what I was wanting, and in the end, she brought in a dress that she picked for me. I put it on and instantly knew that it was the dress for me! She had an eye for what would look good on me, and nailed it. I am so happy with my dress and can't wait to put it on for the wedding!

lly gave me that extra push to finally decide on a wedding dress. I had visited 8 other bridal shops before going to The Bustle. They have dresses that fit most budgets. I found a dress that fit my style perfectly. I went back months later and purchased the accessories I initially tried the dress on with. The only thing I didn't have done there were my alterations. I was able to find someone who charged much less. The shop itself is adorable and their staff are one of a kind. I would definitely recommend The Bustle to all future brides!

s. After asking me several questions about what I am looking for, and looking at some pictures I saved, their sales person brought me several beautiful dresses. I ended up loving and buying the first one I put on. All of their dresses are beautiful, classy, and high quality. I definitely recommend going here if you are serious about buying a dress!

se on your first visit. So please do your homework before going here and definetely before buying. ALL SALES are FINAL. Even after 5mins. It was our second wedding dress boutique. The way they clipped up the Stella York dress, it seemed to fit and my daughter was extremely happy. We bought it. After waiting the 4 months, we went to pick up the supposedly "custom made " dress. It was huge because they have to order it in the size of your biggest body part. (In this case-hips). All of the dimensions were different than the original fitting. What was supposed to be a fit to flair dress, now fit like a mermaid style-not what we wanted or thought we were buying. The worst part is that they make you buy a garment bag for $20 to store the dress at your own home. After spending close to $2,000 for a dress, you would think they could throw in the bag that is worth $5. (My husband bought a suit for $500 and was given the same quality bag for free!). This just didn't feel right, but we didn't say anything. Awhile later my daughter went in to order a veil. She paid $135 and was told it would take 2-4 weeks. They claim the veil is a custom order-come on! It is either white or Ivory and long or short. Less than a week later, my daughter found out her fiancée is not a fan of the veil! We called to see if we could cancel and maybe use the money toward our alterations. Absolutely not!!! All sales are final the minute the are entered into the computer. They even claimed they do not make money off of the alterations. I have found out that this is a total lie. They actuallly get a rather large percentage back from the seamstress. Was it really worth the $135 to get a bad review and bad word of mouth? Their customer service stinks. They should have been happy with our dress purchase and possible alteration expenses. They even make you make an appointment to pick up your veil. I think this is so they can try and sell you jewelry to wear as well. (Making more money). We are so glad we went elsewhere to have the alterations done and bustle made. It ended up taking 7 visits with a wonderful seamstress to make this "custom" dress fit right. I don't even know how the bustle would have done such a good job in the 3 visits they book for you. Please consider going somewhere else.

tores and boutiques, the Bustle's staff were genuinely respectful and mindful of the budget I had given them. They never pulled a dress over budget, and if I had my eye on a particular dress, they weren't concerned with "selling the dress" before I knew the price tag. It is a beautiful little bridal shop with a great atmosphere. They close the store for one bride at a time and provide champagne and cake pops for those that attend.

my girls the cozy setting. I had fun trying on different dresses, but it was the first dress I tried on that I said yes to.

esses amazing. I fell in love with my dress and bought it on my first trip, because I bought it on the first trip I received 15% off my total purchase. My stylist was so sweet and fun and made my day so special. I loved this store so much and would recommend it to anyone. After buying the dress they have also bent over backwards to provide great service, I wanted to make sure my bridesmaids dresses match and my dress is unique color and they found a way to order a yard of fabric from my dress. I cannot say enough great things about this store.

attitude. She was genuine, accommodating, and intuitive when it came to each and every dress I tried on. While the focus was certainly on me, she made sure to cater to mom's opinions and questions the entire time. Maria made sure to only point me towards dresses within our budget and was very upfront when it came to the overall cost. I strongly recommend The Bustle to any bride-to-be looking for an intimate and personalized bridal shopping experience :)

I made an appointment to try on dresses. Me and my three friends were greeted with little sweets and champagne and Lelani was wonderful to work with. She was so helpful in picking out dresses that were my taste and helping me to make a final decision. It was a pleasure to work with them, they were kind but not pushy for me to buy the dress which I appreciated. I would gladly work with them again!

ly had my doubts. I called the store within 24 hours and they basically said that there was nothing that could be done, final sales. They pointed me to consignment stores, sigh. So don't learn from my very expensive lesson, be ABSOLUTELY sure you want the dress before you put the $$ down, there should be no rush, even if you feel pressured. If this helps even one bride, I will be happy :) Also, just FYI, you can find preowned designer dresses online for the same price as you do at this store (though also be a cautious shopper online). I got a BRAND NEW Vera Wang for the price I paid for the Stella. And it is gorgeous. Just a thought.

d I gladly cancelled them because I found the PERFECT dress. Frankie was super friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was not pushy, and gave honest feedback with each dress I tried on. My mom, sister, and maid of honor came with me, and they all loved the experience as well! I was a bit worried about the prices because it is located in downtown Del Mar, but I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability and selection that "The Bustle" offered. I definitely recommend making an appointment here!
