Do not purchase from this business. They are not an accredited business with the BBB and currently are sitting at a rating of D-. They are looking for any reason to not honor their...
return policy. Customer service is claiming that the dress was worn. IT WAS tried on inside of my home…..that’s it. I purchased several dresses from multiple sites and this is the only site that I had any issues with returns. Spend your money with sites that are honorable with their customer service. I purchased from Azazie, Birdy Grey, JJs House, Dillard, and Bloomingdale’s. They are more worthy of your hard earned dollars on your special day.
UPDATE: The company has reached out for more feedback about the dresses that broke so they can work on improving their products and are working to rectify the situation. Their cust...
omer service has been phenomenal from the start. Additional star added for that lol.
Original review-
I found The Dessy Group on Instagram and was absolutely in love. They had the perfect pattern to match the vision I was looking to create with my bridesmaid dresses. I brought a few of my bridesmaids to the NYC showroom to get fitted and try some styles in person. The experience was great! Savanna was lovely to work with and so sweet.
However, 8/9 of my girls dresses sizes were SO off. One of them (which she had been fitted at the store and ordered the size Savanna recommended) could literally fit 3 of her into it when it arrived. Getting it altered ended up costing more than the dress itself. Only one of my bridesmaids had a dress that fit (even though they all ordered based on Dessy's recommendation on the website or in person).
On wedding day, 3 out of the 9 dresses broke! Luckily we brought a sewing kit, which saved one of the dresses. However, the other two were not repairable. One of the girls ended up having the wear someone else's dress- and the other girl had to put a t-shirt over hers. On WEDDING DAY !!!
This was really disappointing as I did have high hopes for this company and the dresses were such comfy material. I am a wedding planner myself and had been recommending this company to clients and friends based on our positive showroom experience. Sadly, I would no longer recommend this company to others for such an important occasion since they did not hold up on my wedding day.
I went to the showroom to look at an elopement dress, and everyone was so nice and accommodating. This is the 4th dress I have from Dessy, and everything was done to ensure that I ...
would love my dress. Savannah, the showroom manager, stayed with me for over an hour to try on 20 + dresses until I picked the style and color I wanted!
Can’t rave enough about how awesome the selection is and affordable too, will definitely go back for my gown for the reception next year!
Nice styles but very overpriced. They should be priced around $100, not $300. The lux chiffon is very thin. It will be light and comfortable but not worth the money. Fits funny t...
oo, so alterations needed.
These dresses were perfection in everyway. I had ALOT of bridesmaids and mixed dresses and FOUR colors. And it all came out beautifully, soooo complimentary to each other and the t...
eam at Dessy Group in NY,NY were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
Wedding planning wasn’t easy, especially in a pandemic. Most of our vendors adjusted to the uncertain times, kept us in the loop with changes, and bent over backwards to make our d...
ay as perfect as possible in a pandemic. Not Dessy.
We ordered bridesmaids gowns in June 2021 for my wedding in October 2021. Orders were expected to ship mid-September. Come September, no updates from Dessy, so we reach out for tracking information.
Imagine our surprise when Cindy Dessy replies that their factory shut down, our gowns are not in production, and they will not arrive in time for the wedding. Let me clarify: Dessy did not attempt to contact us about this when the factory shut down, they waited until WE ASKED THEM, with only 5 weeks to go until the wedding.
Cindy Dessy gave me a call, and I expected to discuss a solution. Instead, Cindy listed out excuses, met my concerns with condescension and hostility, and showed no empathy or remorse. It became my job to keep the call on-track and find a solution. Cindy only apologized once - at the very end of the call, as she hung up.
Dessy offered to replacements from their domestic stock - gowns in the same colors, but not the styles we had chosen. While not ideal, it was a solution, and Cindy assured me the gowns would arrive on time.
But the gowns that did arrive were defective or mishandled. One gown meant to ship to New York was instead shipped to New Jersey - to a town that doesn’t exist. Other gowns arrived with unraveling lace, torn skirts, and bleach stains. Some gowns could be salvaged, others couldn’t, and we had to turn to other retailers. (Brides, may I recommend Lulu’s and Amazon?)
Dessy should learn from this, reevaluate their business practices, and offer professional development training to Cindy. But I do not expect them to do so. Instead of learning from the pandemic, they made its uncertainty and chaos their business model. Brides, RUN AWAY from Dessy - they will not meet your expectations, even if you expect the bare minimum.
We had a lot of ups and downs with this company but in the end the customer service and ability to rush shipments made up for it. The pandemic caused Dessy to have a low inventory ...
of ready-to-ship dresses and halted production of all custom dresses. Even though the initial communication caused a bit of panic, after working with Iris we were able to get all the dresses in time for the wedding with enough time for alterations.
I get Married in 2 months. I have 8 bridesmaids and all of them ordered their dresses ahead of time for my wedding in November of 2021. It is now September… and one of my bridesmai...
ds who ordered her dress in May, received an email from Dessy stating that “they cannot fulfill her order due to COVID regulations”. So now, she is stuck without a bridesmaid dress. All of my girls ordered the color amber sunset in Lux Chiffon and they all came in on time and were beautiful. However, the bridesmaid that does not have her dress now has to worry about finding another one off of a different site, and we’re hoping it’s the same color. I am So upset with dessy. I’ve tried calling, no answers no matter how long you wait or call, they actually hang up the phone on you. She cannot get another dress from dessy because they take 24 weeks to ship. So what is she supposed to do, Dessy? As the bride, this is very annoying because now I have to worry about one of my bridesmaids dresses looking completely different than the rest of the dresses. They said they would give her a coupon. That does not help when my wedding is less than 2 months away, and Dessy screwed us over. Not happy at all and I would really appreciate a response in order to fix this issue, because my bridesmaid did everything she was supposed to by ordering her dress ahead of time, and Dessy did not do what they were supposed to do
My bridesmaid dresses were GORGEOUS! I assigned my girls a shade of grey because Dessy had so many colors! They were able to pick out their own dress in that color. There were so ...
many options! It turned out great and their staff was amazing and easy to work with via online.
I got married in June 2019 and choose The Dessy Group because I fell in love with their Mist color. I wanted that icy blue/grey color that I referred to as a Cinderella blue. I als...
o liked they hard a large selection of styles for my girls to choose from. I chose the color and fabric and let the girls choose the style that best fit them, after all they were paying for the dress. They were all happy with their dresses and they wore well. I loved that each style had their own size chart. It really helped to keep alterations to a minimum. With the exception of my pregnant Matron of Honor, most of the 8 girls only needed the hem done. My only issue was they were delivered after they date they had originally said. After several weeks of going crazy trying to find ties for the groomsmen, I checked their website to see if there was a men's line/company. To my surprise, they had also sold ties, made specifically to match the colors of their dresses. I ordered them, those arrived quickly! I had an issue with one tie that looked terribly creased, I reached out to customer service. They asked me for a photo and they quickly shipped out a new tie, free of charge the next day, no need to return the defective one. Great experience and customer service
