Wonderful alterations to a 70 year old wedding dress. Super sweet and steamed bridesmaid dresses as well!
Doreen helped me find the perfect dress! She pulled out so many beautiful dresses for me to try on based on what I described and what I had already tried on. Her store has so many affordable selections to choose from. Doreen also did some alterations for free after the dress arrived! She is great at communicating about appointments and payments, and I loved every second of being in her store!
Central Valley brides should go here!!! Doreen really knows bridal. She brings many years of experience to helping brides find their gown. She knew exactly what I was looking for and I said yes to the first dress she put me in. I felt very confident in choosing Cinderella Cellar throughout the dress buying and alterations process. When I noticed something about the dress at my fitting, she fixed it for me by sewing it on the spot! After a horrible experience at a chain dress store I am so glad I found this boutique!! Thanks, Doreen!! I am excited to wear my dress on my upcoming wedding day.
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Doreen and her shop! I came in with a very specific idea for the style bridal gown I wanted. In fact, Doreen had ordered a dress I saw online through her catalog free of charge, and it was ready for me when I arrived for my appointment. However, this style that I envisioned didn’t work well for my body type. Doreen was kind and patient as my mom and I looked at various gowns ands styles. She expertly guided us through this process so much that I felt beautiful the whole time, and she helped me maintain my confidence in finding the perfect dress, which I did! Doreen absolutely knows what she is doing and what style of dress looks good on a body. The dress I found is not a style I initially considered, but she brought out this beautiful gown and recommend I try it. The moment I saw myself in the mirror wearing this dress, I teared up. I saw myself walking down the aisle to my fiancé in this dress and I knew it was it. I would not have found my perfect dress without Doreen’s sage advice. I encourage women of all ages to come here to find the gown you’ll love and to have a wonderfully positive experience!
I had such a wonderful experience here and the Selection was absolutely everything I had envisioned. Perfect little shop. Simply perfect. Highly recommend.
The only reason I put 4 stars is because there were pins left in my dress. They weren’t put there by the Cinderella cellar but I got my dress steamed here and they should have been caught.
I also, being a plus size girl, didn’t feel like there was a big enough selection for people who are bigger than size 10.
I was appreciative that the work was done reasonably and quickly!
I wish that we could have purchased my daughter's bridal gown at Cinderella Cellar. They have a large selection of gowns, but 'the one' was somewhere else. Doreen is so kind and works hard to please her customers. She went above and beyond to order a special veil. All brides should make Cinderella Cellar their first stop when shopping!
I wish I could give Cinderella Cellar more than 5 stars! I live out of state but knew I wanted to wedding dress shop with all the women in my family so we met up in my hometown (Fresno) to do it. Cinderella Cellar was the first (and only!) place we went and we had a wonderful experience! I had a few horrible dress shopping experiences and was about to give up, but Doreen worked her magic and I found my perfect dress at Cinderella Cellar. She was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. She is very knowledgeable and gave me great advice on what size I should get (I'm kind of between sizes) and recommended the option that would work best for me - not just what would make her the most money. The prices were very reasonable, and you know what you're paying for up front aka no hidden fees. I have so much respect for Doreen and she runs a respectful, genuine business that I love. I loved it so much I'm doing my alterations there next time I fly home!
Another huge bonus was that Doreen let me take the sample dress home to try on for my grandpa, who was unable to make it to the appointment. That meant SO much to me and my family, and he cried seeing me in my wedding dress (it was extra special because he won't be able to see me in it again since he can't attend my wedding in Colorado). This gesture was the kind of thing that you only get with a small, family-owed boutique and it only solidified my love for CC, Doreen and this whole experience :)
I'm so thankful I happened upon Cinderella Cellar on Yelp, it was a great experience and I HIGHLY recommend any bride looking for a reasonably priced bridal boutique with fantastic customer service!
Doreen is really a Fairy Godmother. If I were to do over I would have bought a dress from her. I ended up ordering one from out of town. They ordered a dress way to large. I brought it to Doreen to do the alterations. She had to take a total of eight inches off the sides and a lot off was very pleasant at each fitting. She did a fabulous job. Thank you Fairey Godmother. the bottom. It was a bear to redo the hem with all the lace appliqués. She
I came here to have my wedding dress altered. I was nervous because it was very delicate: lots of layers, unhemmed tulle, and intricate beading. It fit well for the most part, but was extremely long and needed to be shortened.
Doreen made the process painless. She set an appointment for me before the shop opened so I could have her undivided attention. She took her time pinning the dress and having me move around in it each time she made an adjustment so I could be sure I was happy with the length. She gave me options for shaping the hem if I wanted to and recommendations on the right length for certain shoes (I had not finalized my shoe choice at the time). After we’d settled on the length, she bagged the dress, gave me a ticket, and told me to allow about 4-8 weeks for alteration.
To my surprise, she called me about a week later to let me know my dress was finished! I came back to the store for a final fitting and it was perfect. Not only was the hem perfectly even and exactly where I needed it, but you would never have been able to tell it had been shortened. There was no bead disturbed, no weird edges. She had also reinforced the zipper in an area I had been worried about. My dress fit perfectly on my wedding day and I loved wearing it.
I also brought my dress back to Doreen after the wedding for her to clean it and preserve it for me. When I dropped it off, she explained the cleaning process and checked to make sure my dress was the right material for the type of cleaning she does. She finished about a month later and it was beautifully boxed and ready for me to take home.
Doreen did my alteration in 10 minutes flat! She talked me through hemming without being pushy and let me decide what to do. The shop itself is adorable and comfy. Definitely come here.
My first salon I tried, and the only one I needed to! I arrived, excited and left even more excited because I found the absolute perfect dress within my budget! (under 1k) The atmosphere was very casual and laid back which was perfect and made trying on dresses fun, relaxing and stress-free! I brought a big crew of people too (6) and although there wasn't chairs for all of them, they didn't mind standing! I was just there, so I haven't received my dress, I just ordered it, but I'm sure the process is only going to keep being 5 star! Love this cute, little place with a fantastic, non-pushy owner who helps you out!
Cinderella Cellar, is a pretty little shop but full to the brim with beautiful dresses. My mother and I went in without an appointment, and Doreen was amazing. She completed a fitting while taking care of another bride altogether. She was the best.
Doreen (the owner of The Cinderella Cellar) was incredible. I found a dress that I LOVED in her store. We had to order it in my size (size 2). However, one of the bra cups had been sewed in poorly, and between that and the difference in size, the dress looked really different. I didn't know what to do, since I wasn't even sure if I still liked the dress. Doreen sent the dress back to get the bra cup fixed. But she told me that if I still didn't like it when it came back, then she would give me a refund. That was really generous of her, since the manufacturer wouldn't give her a refund, and she probably wouldn't have been able to sell the dress, since it was so small. So she was willing to lose money on the dress in order to help me out.
I fell in love with the dress again when it came back, though we had to send it back again to get some buttons on the back fixed. Throughout this whole process, Doreen was very patient and helpful. And on top of everything else, she even hemmed my dress for free, because of all the trouble we went through with the manufacturer of the dress! I can't recommend her and the Cinderella Cellar highly enough.
Doreen did a great job on my dress alterations. She was able to alter my dress within 2 months of my wedding so I really appreciated that. She was very kind and professional. I only had her do a hem (5 layers) and insert some cups for support. I think the price was reasonable for the alterations done. Thank you Doreen for helping make a beautiful wedding!
I was having a hard time finding a dress that looked great and fit my budget. My mom remembered there was a shop at Shaw & Fresno, so I looked it up and called to set up an appt. Doreen answered the phone herself, and told me that I could just come on in, and if I needed to come after business hours, she could arrange an appt then. So we walked right in with an appt and were able to try on dresses right then. The selection Doreen has is amazing, everything from ballgowns to short reception dresses. She let me look around after asking for a brief description of what I was looking for. I pulled two dresses myself and she had a couple more waiting in the fitting for me. The third dress I tried on was THE ONE and I was so happy to find out it was well within my budget (under $600) and that what little alterations were needed (hem and sleeves shortened) could be done by Doreen herself. *One thing I was impressed with--she didn't try to make me get alterations done there, she just said it was an option.*
Overall great experience. Very different way to shop for Bridal Gowns, not so formal and hoity-toity, but I was so happy with my experience!
While wedding dress shopping, I was overwhelmed with the amount of pressure and lack of courtesy that I encountered in several shops. However, at The Cinderella Cellar I felt like she genuinely cared about me & my preferences, and would do anything she could to make it perfect. She is very patient, kind and there is zero pressure to purchase anything that you're unsure about. If you're looking for something different than what's in her store, she'll help you find it and can place orders. She provided alterations in a timely manner and her prices are very reasonable. I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciated my experience with her, and I strongly encourage all of my family and friends to shop with her. She's the best!
Doreen is the most amazing person to help you choose the perfect dress. I loved a gown that was on a display and it fit perfectly axcept the hem which she made perfect. My dress was amazing and I owe it all to her, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
She is so helpful! And I loved purchasing from her because she owns the shop herself! The owner is very friendly, incredibly helpful, and easy to get a hold of!
Doreen has something for everyone. She provides great service and the shop is fabulous. I went to many dress shops, big and small but The Cinderella Cellar had my heart. I did not expect to find a dress I loved (I thought the "you'll know" and the crying thing was fake. Needless to say I didn't cry over my dress but I did know it was the one. I had to come back twice to make sure but I kept coming back to the same dress. Admittedly I could have probably found this dress at a different shop. Many dress shops carry some of the same brands.
What made this shop different? Doreen. She is patient, kind and extremely helpful. She is ready to show you different styles. She listens to what you have to say and then knows what dresses to help you pull.
She also offers rentals and an as is room for off the rack.
The service is wonderful! Lots of one on one attention. The best experience. Wonderful alterations for a great price. A beautiful dress just made for me!
I absolutely loved the service and help that I got here! I had only 3 months to plan my military wedding and quickly found that my dress options were extremely limited in most stores, but not here. We found my perfect dress and had it ordered and we had it picked up 3 weeks later! It needed to be taken in a bit but again that only took her a week. I felt like a princess every time i stepped through those doors. & my dress was perfect!
AMAZING! I recommend her for all your alteration needs. So very helpful and efficient. :) She fixed and made my dress look gorgeous. She also did a great job working with and altering the bridesmaids dresses.
I came to the Cinderella cellar needing my wedding dress taken in as well as a bra put inside. In a matter of days she was done and the fit was perfect. The price was the best I had been quoted and she was very sweet and her shop is very nice. It's a must for any bride that needs alterations!
I had shopped at another store and was completely disappointed. None of the dresses looked good on me, and I didn't receive the help I needed. With The Cinderella Cellar, she knew exactly what dress style would look good on me! I tried a couple on, and she was right! However, none of them were what I had always seen myself in. She rented out her dresses as well as sold them, but I'm not very sentimental, so renting was perfect for me! She let me look through her catalog and I picked out my dream dress!! The best part was that if I didn't like it when it arrived, I did not have to commit to it! When it came in...it was ABSOLUTELY everything I wanted!! She altered it TO ME!! The dress made my wedding so special!! And the best part was I didn't have to have it cleaned! She did it for me!! I also rented my veil from her and it was exactly what I had wanted also!! I would definitely recommend The Cinderella Cellar to ANYBODY that was looking to rent or buy a dress!!
The cinderella Cellar is a great place to buy a wedding dress! Doreen, who owns the shop, runs it out of her basement (although I think she may be in the process of moving into a storefront) and she is wonderful! She has a great selection with a wide variety of dresses at a good price. She does all her own alterations, and when I had a week-off problem with the dress, she worked with me and we had it fixed in less than a day! I would highly recommend this shop.
