Teresa is a prime example of not all heroes wear capes - she is an angel & a life saver! I went into The Dressing Room for a new wedding dress after a seamstress ruined my dress and told me it wouldn’t be finished in time. I was in a little bit of a panic (as I was just leaving that other seamstress and I had no dress but 1 week until the wedding). Teresa showed me everything she had in stock around my size and helped me get in to the dresses. Luckily, she showed me THE perfect dress but unfortunately it was too small. Teresa ordered the dress in my size and had it express shipped (ordered first thing Monday morning and arrived on Wednesday). She kept me in the loop the whole time. When it arrived on Wednesday, she called me first thing and even scheduled an appointment with her trusted seamstress, Teresa Edens at Alterations by Teresa. I went straight to her seamstress who completed all my alterations perfectly and dropped off the dress to the shop the very next morning. A true blessing in disguise for me but it wouldn’t have happened without Teresa’s help! She truly cares and wants all brides to have their dream dress and will do what it takes to ensure customers leave happy. I would recommend her 100000%!
Let me first state, I’m a newcomer to Wilmington Nc and coming from Atlanta the shopping is dramatically different,
I went to several bridal shops in Wilmington including David’s Bridal before going to The Dressing Room and I was prepared for a Drive to Raleigh, Charlotte or Atlanta to find my perfect dress. Or quite possibly just settle...
This was my last effort for a dress in Wilmington. I made the appointment for the upcoming Saturday morning and would have a friend go with me. I was greeted by an employee that was finishing u with a customer. She asked me what type of/ style of dress I was I wanted, when I was getting married, and where. Typical questions, she explained the layout of the store asked us to browse around while she pulled a few for me to try on. I’m a size 5/6 and if you’ve ever shopped for a wedding dress - that’s not your size. Feeling bad about size, she assured me that happens everyone. I know I looked at what felt like 100 dresses & tried on at least 15. The LAST 3 she pulled, wasn’t the style I was looking for, but they were pretty. I tried the first one and OMG I liked it & my friend liked it as well. The second one, that was it ... I loved it, the employees loved it, and my friend loved it!! I knew this was MY dress. A customer came in and commented on how gorgeous my dress was ... the owner came in and noted how pretty I looked in the dress and how GREAT the fit was for an off the rack dress! Theresa (owner) has a belt she had just walked in with this set the dress off!!! She told me they had an in-house seamstress that could the minimal alterations. We set that up. I’ve had 3 fitting and 13 days away from my big day. I can’t wait to see my husband look at me as I walk down the aisle in this dress.
Each person here was helpful, courtesy, and professional. My dress is high quality and gorgeous.
Please go check them out - you won’t be disappointed!!!
I had a great time shopping here for my dress. The store owner, Theresa, was extremely helpful and suggested dresses she thought would fit my shape and budget. She has a wonderful eye and I ended up falling in love with and purchasing a dress she picked out for me. I would absolutely suggest this shop to any brides to be in the Wilmington area!

This was the first place I went to try on wedding dresses and I had a wonderful experience there! I tried on many different styles, which helped me make my mind up about the style that best fit my body type. The staff was extremely helpful and made everything more enjoyable! They had many different sizes as well! Great customer service and willingness to help!
I want to thank the owner of The Dressing Room for helping two people look as good on the outside as we felt on the inside. I was a full figured bride and had the perfect dress in my mind, to my surprise the owner of The Dressing Room had a better view of me than I had of myself. She picked out a dress for me that I thought no way and again to my surprise it was perfect, I cried because I looked so awesome. Since then I took my new daughter in- law to The Dressing Room, (size 2) and also she had the perfect dress in her mind the owner was hesitant but pulled that style and she looked like a size 10. We all laughed and laughed, well again the owner picked her dress style best for her and wow was she rocking it. We were all blown away.
I had an absolutely horrible experience with this store. I literally went out to my car and cried afterwards. As soon as I walked in, the salesperson told me that they had a limited selection for full figures. I am a size 12-14, so while I am not tiny by any means, I am pretty average sized and certainly have not had any size-related issues at all at any of the other stores I have visited. This is especially ridiculous, seeing as how their website advertises dresses for brides of any size. She then proceeds to keep bringing up my size and holds up gowns in front of me, thinking I will buy one I can't even try on! On top of this, she completely ignored what I was telling her about the type of dress I wanted and showed me dresses that were the complete opposite and passing by ones I liked. I honestly have never posted a negative review about any store, but I couldn't not write one about this store. They almost ruined my whole wedding dress shopping experience, but luckily I found the perfect dress somewhere else.
The Dressing Room specializes in affordable wedding gowns. They have gently used gowns, as well as gowns that are new with tags, but maybe from a discontinued line or last year's catalog. Theresa, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. I went to numerous other boutiques, but I kept coming back to the dress I found here.
