    Unfortunately my experience was not very good. I noticed my dress had been burned by a steamer a week before I was to leave for my destination wedding. The shop was very helpful in making sure the dress got fixed, and they ensured me it would be flawless. My fiance went to pick up the dress and one of the consultants told him they hadn't even looked at the dress yet and let him take it! Not very good customer service in my opinion... When my fiance brought it home I could definitely tell it had been messed with. It did not look the same. To make matters worse, I went in for my last fitting three weeks before the wedding. I was told by the same consultant who burned my dress not to come in for anymore fittings because it would be impossible for me to lose enough weight to make a difference in three weeks. The consultant was wrong! I ended up with a dress that was too big on my wedding day. I literally didn't even have to unbotton it to get it on and off. After we completed our vowels my husband raised my hand up and I thought it was going to fall down. I don't like giving a bad review based on one girl's mistakes but it was my wedding day, and the dress was not cheap!

    the people were very nice at this store. a very low stress shopping experience. i really enjoyed it and would definitely go back. they do not have a ton of dresses but i found three major contenders and they really listened to what i wanted. this was a great experience .

    This place is wonderful. The owner and all of the small staff are accommodating, kind, and do not pressure you. They are upfront about what they can do and do not pressure you to buy one of their dresses. The entire experience, from first visit to ordering my dress, has been enjoyable. Their goal is to make you happy. They are on the pricier side but I paid for peace of mind and got a discount for ordering my dress well in advance of my wedding. They are absolutely worth checking out and carry designers that can't be found anywhere else in the DC area.
