Not recommended for the following reasons:
- I had to go back 4 times for alterations because they did not do what we discussed correctly or at all.
- The owner/tailor (Ellen) was late to my drop off appointment & didn’t answer the phone when the clerk called her. She also charged more than she quoted for alterations.
- At first pickup, I learned another lady had worked on my dress. She did not do what Ellen said would be done. She left nude mesh in the dress that did not match my skin instead of replacing it (she said she was scared to cut it & mess it up), removed my buttons (not discussed), miss-lined the dress so there was a line showing around my bodice, & put the wrong cups inside. They bickered about what was done/not done & she said that she didn’t talk to me so she didn’t know what I wanted. Ellen blamed her & said she’d had to give money back before because of her but promised she would take my dress home herself to fix.
- Ellen removed the wrong cups & pinned another set inside (she asked if I wanted push-up cups & I said no). At next pickup, she had put a set of push-up cups in the dress that were too small, the dress was ill-fitting (I later learned it was because of the poor job she did lining it), & they still had not steamed the dress like they said they would. The straps were lined with beading & there was a missing spot so she just put silver beads there because she didn’t have the same ones. We left for her to fix the cups & puckers. The dress still puckered when we went back (she told me to just lose a pound).
- I lost weight but the puckers remained so I went to a local tailor shop (I live 2.5 hours away) to see if they could help.
- Employees at the local shop were appalled by the state of the dress. They noted that misaligned pieces of the wrong fabric had been used for lining, the wrong lace was used to replace the nude fabric, the bustle was in wrong spot, the wrong cups were used, & incorrect beading on the strap. I had to pay another $$$ to get it fixed the week of my wedding!
- I called & Ellen said there was nothing she could do because she had already paid twice to have it altered by someone else. She was unapologetic & unconcerned.
- I reported them to the BBB but they didn’t respond.
My experience at VIP was VIP! Thanks to the professional Dee Shantel Canteen. Coming in, I wasn't sure about the style or color and feeling a little overwhelmed. Dee took me step by step and found the perfect dress. Thank you Dee. Feeling pretty because of you!
I love this shop they are so helpful and very knowledgeable. Hellen is amazing. I walked in after trying on 15 dresses that day and she literally just looked at me and walked me to the section where my sizes were. I never even told her my size, all I told her was what I wanted. We pulled 3 dresses and I ended up getting the first dress I tried on there. I also went back for all my alterations. I lost 67 lbs and had to have my dress taken in 3 sizes. And it was amazing!
Very professional they have very nice dresses wide range of sizes colors and styles.
We drove from NJ to Florence for the perfect black, long-sleeved lace dress. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the first dress shop in Florence, we were told that this specific dress was only available in California. But not to fret, we only had to drive a few minutes away to the VIP Bridal Showroom and meet with Cara; she would be able to assist us. Moments later we arrived, and due to time constraints, we had less than 30 minutes left to find the dream dress. We pulled five dresses, and the last dress was IT, a perfect sleeveless, black beaded mermaid gown; the complete opposite of what I "thought" I had wanted. However this dress was stunning, the perfect mix of modern, classic, and timeless.
Very poor customer service and poor alterations. We paid for alterations and the dress was to be ready by October 15 for a wedding date of October 28. The dress wasn’t ready until October 26. There was no bussle which was included on the alterations ticket, the corset back loops came unraveled when lacing up the dress, and the leg split opened up as she was walking down the aisle. I called to discuss with the owner the day after the wedding. She told me she couldn’t offer a partial refund due to the wedding has taken place.
