Emily may be newer to The White Dress but girls has that special touch. Treated me so well and like I was her only client and favorite client. I am so happy with my beautiful dress and cannot wait to have it on my special day!! Thank you Emily!!

    I purchased my wedding dress from The White Dress for nearly $6,000, so I expected a much higher…read morelevel of quality and service. Unfortunately, one of the dress straps broke just 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, which was incredibly stressful and disappointing on such an important day. Additionally, I ordered my veil through the boutique and had scheduled an appointment for alterations and veil pickup. However, there appeared to be a miscommunication regarding the pickup, as it was not properly noted and the veil was nearly shipped instead. I had also specifically asked to try on dresses with sleeves during my appointment and was never brought a single option. Overall, this was not the experience I had hoped for from a bridal boutique of this caliber. ***** My wedding was over two hours away from the store, and waiting for your seamstress would have meant missing my ceremony. When paying a premium price, brides should not have to deal with last-minute issues like a dress strap coming apart minutes before walking down the aisle. Thankfully, one of my bridesmaids was able to sew the strap so I could still wear my dress. Regarding the veil, I specifically called after being notified it had arrived to explain that I had an alterations appointment and wanted to pick it up then, which your team confirmed. I later received communication referencing shipment, so I had to follow up again by phone and email to make sure it would not be shipped. Had it been sent out, I would not have had my veil for my wedding either. While I appreciate the refund for alterations, the overall experience was far more stressful than it should have been for such an important day. Future brides should be aware of the risks and added stress this location may bring leading up to their wedding.

They have everything from wedding to beauty to home. I will be making trips over here when I visit OC. I chose Anthro to purchase a wedding dress. Their service was amazing. They allowed me to have a few more guests and was patient when I was late to the appointment due to a collision on the freeway. I tried on more dresses than I originally picked. They offered champagne and water. They were positive, professional, and kind and I recommend you buy your wedding dress here. They didn't try to upsell me and prices are transparent on their website. You save a little if you buy from the store.

Anthropology had truly my dream dress at an extremely affordable cost! Would highly recommend choosing it if your priorities are the same as mine! The lady helping us honestly seemed like she didn't really want to the there (one of my bridesmaids said something after too so I know it wasn't just me) but she was plenty nice overall and they give brides and the people they bring free drinks so overall very good experience!

I wish it had been my first. Somehow, it was all meant to be! The customer service was sensational... the room was so beautiful too! I love that the owner and staff make everyone feel like they are cared for and special. When I pulled up for the dress shopping experience it was already clear that The Bustle was treating me right. A personalized sign awaited me out front and mini refreshments with a private room and some of my favorite dresses already pulled put me at ease. Honestly, it was an amazing experience! Don't even think twice... you might pay a little more for the dress of your dreams with some of their amazing designer options but you won't regret it. Top notch personalized experience. Thank you!

She doesn't disappoint! I found her through a recommended list from my wedding dress designer, and I'm so happy with my results.

I found her extremely reasonable in terms of pricing for the amount of work & fittings I had to come in for (as she wanted everything to be perfect). Thanks so much, Rita!!!

I came to Rita Bridal with a dress that was a…read moredisaster, the bust was inches too small, the waist was far too loose, and the top lacked any structure or boning. On top of that, I was on a tight two-week deadline. After frantically calling and emailing her six times, Rita remained incredibly gracious, professional, and compassionate. She never once made me feel like I was a "crazy bride"; instead, she gave me an hour of her time to show me exactly how the dress could look. At my final fitting, the transformation was breathtaking. The dress didn't just "fit" it looked like it was painted onto my body with the elegance of a high-end designer gown. Rita even helped me with my faja selection and helped me into it, showing so much genuine excitement for my big day. She even went above and beyond by fixing a button on my cape to ensure it attached perfectly to the bust. I finally saw what a real bride is supposed to look and feel like. Rita is a first-class talent with a heart of gold. If you want a seamstress who is honest, skilled, and will calm your nerves while making you look like a model, go to Rita!

My daughter had been looking at many gowns in other shops and sent me pictures of herself in samples. Although they were priced super expensive, the quality of the fabric was terrible. I could see that the fabric weight and color on any of them were not the best choice at all. Who were they kidding? Because Judy has about 600-700 gowns available, both my daughter and I thought this shop would be a great baseline to compare with others,. We called and made an appt and arrived on the 21st. Apparently I got the month wrong because it was April 21st and I thought it was March 21st. NTL, Judy accommodated us later that day and my daughter was lucky enough to find the style she was looking for on the same day. Unlike the other samples in previous shops. the gown from Judy's shop was beautifully made and fit so well. The fabric weight and sheen were exactly what an experienced designer would want to show off their design. There was just no comparison to the others. Judy's service was excellent; She's very nice and an honest business woman with a lot of knowledge about this specialty. Let her help you with the process and be honest about where you are, what you know and don't know about shopping for gowns, what your expectations are as well as your budget so she can guide you with your specific needs. Her designer selections cover just about every style. And there is value to be found in a well made gown that is not overpriced. When you don't overpay, you do get more quality for your money and that is where the lesson of value is enhanced in luxury. You should feel confident and beautiful on your wedding day and be proud of your wedding gown choice. Thank you Judy so much for helping my daughter with her decision. We will see you again soon.

After waiting a day or more, I was contacted by the owner who said she did not have time to read e-mails and said I would need to call or text her. Fine. I made an appointment via text. My daughter was originally supposed to accompany me but was held up by a work trip. The appointment was fine. I paid in full and my second appointment was set for June 16 at 12:00 Noon. Shortly thereafter, my daughter texted the owner, Grace, requesting an appointment for her very minor alteration (putting a couple of stitches into the wrap style bodice of her dress so it did not open so widely). Grace did not return the text until at least two days later and when she did, she was extremely rude, saying she was very busy and that taking my daughter's business would require her to work late or "bump another bride." My daughter is the sister of the groom, not the bride. We took her dress to Pham Tailoring in Dana Point. Pham is always extremely busy but she is always gracious and gets the job done at a fair price. The alteration was done in a couple days for $12.00. On June 15, I texted Grace, asking her to confirm our appointment for June 16 at noon. No response. Texted two more times, no response. I called just before 10:00 a.m. on June 16. The phone was not picked up and I had to leave a message. I said that as I had not heard back and we were now pressed for time, I wanted to just pick up my dress as long as the hem had been done. There was no time for additional work to be done. I did not so indicate in my message, but given the flaky responses we had previously received and the lack of confirmation, I wasn't certain whether the previously given appointment would be honored. Grace called back about one hour later and started to leave a voicemail indicating that she did not check messages on her days off, Sunday and Monday, that I had an 11:00 appointment with Kimberly (it was then about 11:10) and that I would have to reschedule. I picked up during the voicemail and indicated she still had to communicate with her customers and that I just wanted to pick up the dress and not reschedule. She said I could not do that. I said I had already paid in full and I was comimg in right then to get the dress. My daughter and I rushed over to the shop and we saw my paperwork on the table indicating that my appointment was indeed at 12:00 noon with Grace herself. I indicated I just wanted to get the dress, although it was then just 11:30. She then repeated that no one checks messages on their days off. I said fine, confirm upcoming appointments before the weekend. She said she uses appointment sheets. I said yes, those are fine, but brides and others have a lot of things going on and additional confirmation is needed. (Also, sheets get lost). When I pointed out to Grace that my paperwork on her desk indicated my appointment was at 12;00 noon with her and not at "11:00 with Kimberly" as she had just indicated on the phone, she was a bit flustered but still snippy. I took my dress and my daughter and I left. The sign on Grace's door says, "Open by Appointment Only." It says nothing about her being closed on Mondays. My daughter said she agreed with Grace about not returning messages on her days off, but customers have to be informed of when those days are. My daughter did agree that Grace is pretty rude and she conducts herself poorly for one in a service business. I would not recommend this shop.
