Annie, the manager at English Department is amazing. If you are looking for a classic dress in a small sweet boutique this is the place for you. It is so dreamy and magical!

If you like more unique styles and don't want to look like you're one of those barbie cakes from 2001 then this is the boutique for you! I'd been to another salon before The English Dept and the stylist didn't listen to me at all. Everything I...
tried on just didn't fit my style. So when I went to The English Dept I was a little wary. First off the shop is incredible! Its small, cozy, and adorable. I was one of two brides at the salon but there was good separation. I brought my mom and my maid of honor to help me. The gal brought us Champagne and after asking me about the wedding let us look at the dresses and pull a few in a edition to her selections. They have new and vintage dresses but I decided to go the new route. It only took a few dresses before I totally clicked with my dress. It was the first time I could really picture my wedding day and it made everything feel right. I had my alterations done in house by Erin. She did a wonderful job and was reasonably priced for the amount of work she did. I had my dress hemmed, taken in, stapes adjusted, added buttons and changed the neckline of my topper and it was around $500. Erin was also very patient with me as it took 3 appointments to find a bra that worked with my dress. All in all I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so glad I found The English Dept. I loved my dress!

Best bridal experience! This was my favorite bridal shopping experience of all the stores I visited in Portland. We had the salon to ourselves (I brought my mom and bestie). We were greeted with mimosas and hot tea. Beyond the service, the sele...
ction of dresses is amazing. They had so many I loved and I really, really wanted to purchase my dress here. You wont be disappointed. This experience is so personal and special. Thank you Xtabay!

I went to every Dress shop in the Portland area from ritzy Divine Design in NW portland to checking out the surprises Goodwill may have in store for me. Xtabay was very hard to find (no really... its hidden) but it was well worth the trek! alt...
hough i did not buy my dress here i did find that Xtabay supplied the best dress shopping experience in portland. there is a dress for every style and budget here. you want all silk? real buttons? tea length? classic style? look no further! this store is too lovely for words, it smells like heaven and has far more luxurious decor than the fancy boutiques in town. In xtabay you will have a one-on-one shopping with one of their lovely and very helpful sales girls you will not soon forget. word to the wise: plan on letting them know what you are looking for, and come back a few times: start early.

Having been through the traditional bridal dress shopping extravaganza with many friends, I knew that I wanted something different. And easy. And vintage. And affordable. Xtabay was the perfect place, and I very quickly found an affordable ...
dress that I fell in love with (on my first visit!). Liz and the other ladies at Xtabay are a lot of fun, and know their stock very well. The store is beautiful, and I have become a regular shopper there. By far the best collection of vintage dresses in Portland! Liz will soon be opening her bridal salon upstairs from the regular store, and it sounds like it will be amazing.
