Very pretty custom women's formal gown shop in the heart of the iconic Sunset Plaza shopping center. The owner Carmen and her daughter Samantha are wonderful, with a great eye for detail and couture fashion. Light and airy inside with lots of windows. They specialize in gowns for weddings, glamorous parties and special occasions. There's ample free parking in back and after your fitting, you can get a manicure next door and have a bite at one of the casual chic restaurants nearby. read more

After hunting in all of the major department stores for a mother of the groom gown, I discovered Andrea's Fashions. Carmen was wonderful! She guided me to her creations and I picked a beautiful, unique gown that was stunning in design, fabric and color. It was a terrible time in my life because my house had just burned down but Carmen's efforts let me enjoy my son's wedding and feel happy to be in such a beautiful gown. read more

This is a one of a kind experience. Beautiful dresses and more. I love Carmen and Andrea.

I was in search for a specific type of wedding outfit for my special day. I did not want the typical white suit look. From the first appointment with Carmen she took my vision and created my wedding outfit. I didn't want the masculine or just feminine look. I wanted the two to become one. Carmen did not only mail it but went above and beyond my expectations!! See, I am a gay woman and most retail wedding places do not cater to our styles of dressing. So if you are in the market for a different style, look, I highly recommend Andrea's Fashion! They exceeded my expectations! I received so many compliments on my wedding day and even afterwards. I truly felt beautiful for my special day. Oh! And my beautiful Wife had tears in her eyes. Customer service was five star of course. read more

This is a special place, where a woman can feel beautiful and will be treated like a queen! read more

I have so much to say about working with Carmen!! First off, to every bride. TRUST YOUR INSTINCT. I am not an easy person when it comes to style or fashion. I have a very clear idea of what I want. I could care less what is on trend. When I first came into the shop (1 month after being engaged), it was by complete coincidence. I called 15 minutes after seeing that it was so nearby to an appointment that I was already at. Thank God for this little taste of fate. Upon meeting both Samantha and her mother Carmen I didn't know what to think. I was open to the idea of dress style, but I knew I wanted separates. I would later find out how rare being shown anything "separate" truly was. After taking a quick browse around and being led quickly to look at Julie Vino, I decided I would try the top on, but I asked if there was something they could show me that was different, something eccentric maybe for the bottom? Carmen immediately pulled a dramatic, really cool high to low organza skirt off the rack and suggested I mix and match. I described in detail how I pictured my hair, the shoes and what I wanted the overall "look" to be- a female superhero. Julie Vino was decidedly too "revealing" for my taste but the idea of the wonderwoman-like top combined with a super structured skirt stayed with me. I remember leaving the shop and Carmen warning me if I was interested I had to give her at least 3 months for the order. Many many, many many many months passed. I was stubborn. I only went to one other shop to try on dresses and scoured the internet instead. (not including Sax bridal in LA who told me they had nothing for me because my tastes were - direct quote - "too avant-guard") I struck up a relationship with a designer in the Ukraine who worked with me for over a year to create a look that I loved. Unfortunately, when it arrived the pieces did fit properly or even go together. My mother was beside herself. Threatening and actually purchasing a back-up dress of her choice as a last resort, I let her do as she pleased while I stuck to my guns. It was scary. I had zero backup and we were less than a month and a half from the Thailand destination wedding date! I thought about Carmen and how she just "got me." I remembered that while I was in the shop the first time after describing what I was after she said if I went for it, I would be one of her favorite most daring brides she ever dressed. I called and sent an email requesting an immediate appointment and to my surprise after sending a quick photo via text Carmen agreed to see me. I loved the top I had, however the workmanship and fit left a lot to be desired... I was scared about how I was supposed to find a bottom that in any-way matched the top. Luckily for me (though I'm sure Carmen is still swearing under her breath about it) the Ukrainian designer had made a veil which I had hoped to use more as a photo prop with the elephant we were going to take pictures with at the wedding. This veil had the same elegant lace edging that was used on my top (IT WAS GLUED DOWN AND SEWN TO CARMEN'S HORROR) and Carmen suggested creating a custom short skirt with an overlay of the lace on the edges to tie the pieces together. Then the overskirt piece that I loved when I first came in would be the finishing wow factor. I had no other options. No plan B. It was a difficult thing to walk in ALONE and make the decision to sign an agreement that held everyone harmless, with no take-backs! But a little voice inside my gut told me to trust and have faith that this woman knows what she's talking about. Honestly, I had not read previous reviews. I had not visited their shop website, I did very little investigation. Instead, I happened to be at the right place at the right time and find the 100% RIGHT WOMAN TO COME TO MY RESCUE. No words can describe my gratitude. Not only did she manage to create a short skirt (that did not ride up - and I danced my ass off) from scratch and know the exact shades of white to use for just the right contrast, but the overskirt was cut and primped (horse-hair removed just for me because I didn't love the way it stood up) No detail was left untouched. The top was entirely "groomed" - new darts added, lace additions to coverup unsightly lines in the mesh and silver under-layer, the zipper was redone entirely in nude so as not to show. It was a complete overhaul and I don't know what I would have done without this visionary couture expert on my side!!! From one artist to another Carmen - THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART thank you for helping me take my dreams and make them a reality, for believing in what I wanted, and not compromising when my parents (via facetime) were not on board. I have never seen them both in happier shock at the outcome!! You are my angel and my bridal savior. I would recommend this establishment with great pride to anyone looking for help making their bridal or high-fashion vision come to fruition! read more

I am the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding. We went to look at their amazing Bridal gowns. They have a wonderful selection. Samantha was such a caring, attentive stylist. We really connected with her. She was so knowledgeable about designers and how things should fit. And she was SO NICE...which is rare in Bev Hills. My best friend did not find her dress, but it was one of the best dress experiences we had. If you ever need a gown or a wedding dress, definitely go see Samantha!!! read more

Was shopping on Robertson Blvd and decided to swing by Andrea's to see find some accessories/gifts. They have a beautiful collection of Swarovski clutches and lots of shiny baubles. Was happy to find that they now carry faux lashes too. What a great gift idea for wedding parties. Andrea was very personable and I'll definitely be back to shop again. Side note, they had some amazing gowns! read more

Do NOT go anywhere else for special occasion or Bridal attire and accessories. Andrea's Fashions was the one and only stop for my Mother of the Bride and Rehearsal Dinner dresses. I'm still getting RAVE reviews days later and I trust they are genuine. Because I felt like s dream. Carmen is a genius. She listens to you and creates a piece tailored made just for you. No seeing yourself coming and going. The fabrics are luscious. The options are endless. The fit is brilliant. The styles can be either timeless and fashion forward. I got one of each. The service is impeccable. They shipped these dresses to 2 different states, perfectly laid out, and delivered even earlier than I needed. I also got 2 pieces of jewelry from a huge selection as perfect accoutrements. And they even suggested what shoes to get for each. Thanks Carmen and the Andrea's team, for making what can be a stressful experience so easy, fun, and literally filled with beauty. read more

The women at this store really know what they're doing. Their options are really timeless and elegant, and they can accommodate a dress of my taste as a 33 year old and also for my mom, 60.

They sell all types of coordinating pieces to go with the dress, so it's a one stop shop for couture and special occasions. read more

Carmen made my journey to find a Mother of the Groom gown experience the most fun and best experience I could have ever gone through. She knows her stuff and will fit you with the most proper dresses that you might have chosen yourself. And then she tailors it to look amazing. Along the way she has grown to be very special to me and my family and even my friends. The dress turned out perfect and seriously I received so many compliments at the wedding. Folks were wowed. The dress was elegant. I am now a forever fan. Thank you Andrea's Fashions‼ read more

Andrea's is simply the greatest fashion find in California. Carmen & her daughters have exquisite taste & style. After searching through the designer shops & finding the same dresses hanging at Neiman's & Saks- I was discouraged. I was searching for a gown for my son's wedding. Well- enter Carmen. She designed an amazing gown for me. It was beautiful & it fit perfectly. I have since purchased several casual & dressy dresses. I love every single one- my husband too! read more

Andrea's is the place if you need a gorgeous gown, evening bag, Parisian-style chic suit or day-outfit, or a cocktail dress! I recently wore my second gown from Andrea's (first was for our daughter's wedding) and it fit beautifully! they have an amazing array of choices! I went for only 1 fitting and Carmen and staff took every measurement possible! They made sure my gown was a perfect fit in every way! Carmen and the staff are very kind, but most importantly, they make sure you are happy with your purchase and feel good in what you wear! Carmen met me at our hotel to help me into my gown, added some lip gloss, gave me tips on how to "kick" out my train and made me feel like a Queen! Thank you Carmen and everyone at Andrea's! read more

There is a reason why this shop has been in business for decades! I came in and met Carmen initially, but was delighted upon meeting Samantha to know of the mother-daughter team hard at work. Carmen's background working in couture is very obvious in all the right ways - she understand's women's bodies of all types and is determined to flatter your features in a unique and meaningful way. Samantha's eye for both classic silhouettes and the newest, hottest looks in bridal was equally important to me while trying on dresses and talking about customization. She is an expert, undoubtedly. I couldn't be happier about having both of their opinions to help me sort out my own. I am so glad to know of this shop and all the possibilities that lie within, including jewelry, accessories, and some very lovely and affordable cocktail dresses that would be great to include in any wardrobe. The shop is conveniently located right off of Robertson and I plan to recommend it to anyone searching for their own dress. Thank you for being so trustworthy and kind during my time working with you. read more

I had an opportunity to buy my dress for my son's wedding. The experience was overwhelmingly fantastic. The owner and tailor were helpful, lovely and completed the job to my satisfaction before the promised date and I would recommend anyone to shop here. Their taste is excellent and they really helped me to find something that looks pretty on me and is flattering to my figure. read more

I have never ever in my life had such a nightmare experience as I had dealing with the owner of this business. BEWARE, as her business practices are not ethical in the least. I am from out of town and my stylist who is from LA went to her shop and picked out 5 dresses to be sent to me on consignment with the intention that if I liked any of them, Carmen would then have them custom made for me. I indicated that while I like 3 of them, I would like to start with 1 and see if I liked it before ordering the others. I let Carmen know the color and sent her the measurements. Shortly after, I noticed that she had charged my credit card for all 5 of the consignment dresses and had not credited me back even though I had sent them all back. After first lying and saying she had already credited me for the 5, she then told me she would credit my account for 2 of them because I in fact ordered 3 dresses! This was clearly a tactic to trap me into buying all 3. She also was trying to charge me $680 for shipping the dresses back and forth. I called my credit card immediately to dispute the charges. At that point she became very nasty and even threatened to sue me! I agreed to buy the original dress that I ordered but upon receiving it and trying it on I found that it had a defective zipper that got stuck and caught on the fabric when I tried to zip it up. Imagine ordering a $2500 custom dress and it shows up with a zipper that does not work properly! So I sent it back to Carmen at which point, she refused delivery and had it sent back to me!! I then had to send it back to my stylist who eventually was able to have the dress delivered back to the store ( not without drama I must add). Luckily, my credit card backed me up and refunded me the entire amount as there was no proof that I ordered anymore than the one dress and never signed anything. My advice is to avoid this shop at all costs and BEWARE if you do business with her. read more

I could not have been happier with my experience at Andrea's. Carmen is amazing and knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding gown. The first dress she chose for me was the one! Her attention to detail and eye for fit is really what sets Andrea's apart. If you want your gown to ft like a glove, go see Carmen! read more

Carmen is the most amazing human being and dressmaker in the whole wide world. she saved me when it was my son's wedding. 2 nights before the wedding I found out that someone had exactly the dress that I was meaning to wear at my son's wedding. I went to her on friday afternoon not knowing what to do, within 3 hours she fixed me up with the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen. added up all the accessories that I needed and she even came to the hotel to dress me up. she gave me a vip service that made me feel so special. i will never forget that. I think I felt more beautiful than the bride. Thank you carmen you are an amazing woman.... read more

Carmen and Samantha are an amazing mother daughter team !!!!! Besides being the nicest people, they are both extremely skilled at selecting and designing a dress that fits any size or shape.

You can trust that when you walk in the door of Andrea's Fashions that you will have the most beautiful couture dress hanging in your closet for years to come!!!!!! read more

I recently went to Andrea's Fashions with my mom and sister to find a Mother of the Bride dress. I had called a few days beforehand and gave her some details of what we were looking for and the style and formality of the wedding. Upon arriving, we discussed more details of the wedding including the colors, venue and style. We kept asking to see dresses and start trying some gowns on- but it seemed like the woman "helping" us was more interested in exactly what our wedding details were. Finally she said, "Now what is Mommy's budget?" To which we responded: Not really sure but something around $1200. She quickly retorted, "There's nothing here for you." We were shocked. But she didn't stop there. She went on to say as soon as she knew I wasn't wearing haute couture we were in the wrong place and that her gowns are the 'Rolls Royce' of fabrics imported from Paris and that maybe we would have better luck with the sales rack. We quickly left in awe of our experience. However, I'm not here to talk about our horrible experience but about the dresses. Unfortunately, not even imported Paris Chantilly lace or her location in Beverly Hills could help these tragic dresses. If your looking for something gaudy, bright yet dowdy- you found the right spot! Maybe if the woman wasn't so foul we would have given her ugly dresses a chance. I will be sure to send her the pics of my wedding at The Langham Huntington Hotel (like she asked when she was asking 100 questions) and tell all my lovely vendors all about her! Word travels fast in these group ya know? In Julia Roberts words from Pretty Woman... "BIG MISTAKE. HUGE!" read more

If you are looking for star treatment and a dream dress, you need to stop by Andreas! Getting to know the mother-daughter duo has been nothing sort of a treat! Carmen has been running Andreas since the 1970s and has passed her love and talent for fashion onto her daughters. In essence, creating a bridal "dream team". Samantha, Carmen's youngest specializes in bridal fashion. Samantha will not only make you feel like a bride peering out of a magazine ad, she will be your rock and will get you through all the craziness a wedding entails. Andreas exceeded all expectation, I can not thank these fabulous ladies enough for everything they did! read more

After searching in many places, I was finally able to find a store where someone just understood me and my needs! I am an Indian bride having an Indian-Christian wedding. My mom already got me a red traditional indian dress for the ceremony, but what I REALLY needed was a beautiful white gown I could wear to my reception for a more american style reception. Before I went to the store I was able to speak with Samantha who is so caring, knowledgeable and kind. I got an appointment and immediately went into the store. I described some styles I liked and allowed Samantha to choose some dresses for me to try on. She had about 4 dresses and they were ALL stunning. I can't belive she was able to match what I had in my head so well. It was a hard pick, but out of the four, I finally made my decision :) If you are looking for a store that takes the time to understand your needs, try their best to match you and provide a lot of attention and detail... then this is the place :) Thank you for helping me! read more

I recently purchased a custom made dress for my godson's wedding at Andrea's Fashions in Beverly Hills. It was a most unpleasant experience. I have never been treated more rudely. I am accustomed to shopping in fine stores and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and an appreciation of my business. It began when they insisted that I pay for the dress in FULL before I even had a fitting. When I went in for my first fitting the dress was not laying properly across my back and Andrea (the owner's daughter) said "no that is fine". I said this is unacceptable as it doesn't lay correctly. Then her mother and owner, Carmen, came over and said no we can fix it. I was shocked that someone whose business it was to know fitting completely ignored a very obvious error. I brought a friend with me for the next fitting (she is a licensed tailor). The hem was uneven and pouching out in front. Andrea said "oh not a problem, we will lay the dress on a table and even the hem." Again I was shocked that this was the solution to hemming a dress - lay it on a table and even it? Because my friend has a perfect eye for detail, she was finally able to convince Andrea that was not the way to solve the hem problem and that it needed to be pinned on me not the table as a person's body configuration will make the fabric fall in a different way. A table is flat, bodies are not. When I went in for the final fitting Carmen was there, with attitude. The dress still needed small adjustments made to the hem. Carmen said "I don't care what you think. I am done working on the dress." With that she walked away. Not only did Carmen insult me but my friend as well, and I hope anyone reading this will take heed. When you play a substantial amount of money for a dress to be custom fitted, you expect that to be the case and to the customer's satisfaction, not the owner's. read more
