I would definitely recommend Cameo to anyone looking for a great bridal dress experience.

I had a really nice appointment at The Bridal Boutique and Brooke was the perfect stylist for me…read more She worked with my style, budget, and comfort to make sure we found exactly what I wanted. She was very friendly and fun and still very professional. It's clear she has strong knowledge of her gowns and customer experience and service skills. We booked the VIP Experience and were a little disappointed that some of the features we expected like the ability to play our own music and requested fruit as part of the snacks were missing and not communicated, but that did not take away from the overall experience of feeling special and finding a fantastic dress. I decided to purchase at this store that is an hour away instead of one 10 minutes from me that had the same dress because of Brooke's customer service and how much communication around preferences and confirmation I got before the appointment. Looking forward to my first fitting and working with alterations on some customization of the gown and plan to update my review with details from that process.

A lot of the reviews talk about the experience and the service, but not many mention price. I…read morehighly recommend you inquire about and budget for alterations, import tariffs, fees, etc. when shopping for your dress to avoid unpleasant surprises down the road. This shop wanted almost half the cost of my dress for alterations alone, so I ended up finding a reputable seamstress elsewhere that did the same alterations for less. I will say that the service for the dress buying part of the experience was excellent. After that, I did not get the impression the store cared as much for the alterations to the same level as the dress purchase. If they had, I would have considered using them for the convenience of a one stop shop despite the price.

I happen to find the place by chance because I was visiting a friend in Columbia. I called and Kiim said to come in. I then called back and said I'm the mother of the bride not the bride and plus size. Kim replied we have a nice selection for you as well and they specialize in plus sizes. After trying on a few gowns,.I found a beautiful gown that matched my daughter's color palette. Service was impeccable throughout the whole process from selecting and purchasing the gown, to picking it up, bringing it back for alterations and trying it on for the final fitting, I have to give big shout outs to everyone from the sales associate to the Seamstress to the owners. Kim, Alma, Yukia, Mycahya and Phoenix, Every time I visited, you made it stress free and fun. It's was impressive to see their selection of gowns, as they were high-end quality. They also had beautiful headbands with crystals if that's something you're looking for. The prices are fair and they worked with me on the cost of alterations. If you are looking for a gown and are plus sized, this is the place to go. A+ experience, truly professional, and flexible as they worked with me when I had to change the date of my final fitting. I'm ready for the wedding and I know I have a beautiful gown I will wear.

This store was my first try-on and I'm so glad it was! I opted for the VIP experience which included my own private suite, food and drinks for me and my friends and if you can financially swing it, DO IT!! My friends and I had the BEST time and nothing felt rushed, pressured or anything. I felt like a princess in the best way and it was great time to try on every style, ask questions, get educated on timelines. It was perfect. I went to other bridal shops after this location and the service and selection doesn't even compare. I will recommend CC to every plus-sized bride.

In the past, I've tried this place and been kind of unimpressed. But now!! They have upgraded their game in a big way. They had multiple options available in my hard-to-fit size. The person who helped me was both knowledgeable and respectful. The prices were very reasonable and they had both everyday stuff and special-occasion wear. I came away with an actual matching bra and panty set, incredibly rare in my sizes. It was the Elomi Matilda, for you connoisseurs out there. The little shop is clean, pretty, and fun. The dressing rooms were nice too. I can only offer one minor critique: there's nowhere for the sugar daddy/mommy to sit and admire the process. And frankly, that's an integral part of the journey for many of us! As with most places in Fell's Point, you must park on the street or else way around the corner at a garage on Caroline. This place is okay for handicap access, if I recall correctly. There might be one step to get inside; that's pretty common in that area. I will certainly go back!

I had a very disappointing experience with this bridal shop. I ordered a custom suit for my son's…read moreprom and, unfortunately, paid in full upfront, which I now realize was a mistake. From the start, communication was extremely poor. I made multiple calls and sent texts, often receiving little to no response. When I did get a reply, it was usually very short, incomplete, or avoided my questions altogether. I was never given a clear delivery date or even a general timeframe. As time went on, I became increasingly concerned. My questions about materials and customization details went unanswered, and I was given inconsistent information that didn't add up. With prom getting so close, I had no choice but to purchase another suit elsewhere and pay a separate tailor to ensure my son was ready in time. To make matters worse, I was finally notified that the suit had arrived just three weeks before prom, and even then, the shop still didn't have the materials or appliqués needed to complete the customizations. Overall, this experience was frustrating, stressful, and costly. I would not recommend this shop to anyone, especially for time-sensitive or custom orders.

When I 1st arrived on my 1st out of 3 visits, there was a gentleman and his family being fitted for a wedding ensemble and it was such a great feeling to watch staff interact with them and were so accommodating. Meanwhile I looked through their catalogs which had every color in tux that I could ask for as well as a variety of dresses but I was there for a tux rental. Once my son's tuxedo came in, I was contacted immediately and went down for the fitting. I was fortunate enough to meet miss Crystal (Shop Owner)when I went for the fitting and she was so kind and humble. She took her time explained the different parts of the tuxedo and how everything should go once my son put everything on. Pick up and drop off of the tuxedo went smooth as butter! I received the same great courteous service when I took the tux back that I received when I went to purchase the tux rental. I highly recommend this formal wear shop to anyone looking for attire for a fancy event. The personalized customer service alone will bring me back !!

A friend of mine raved about her experience and getting her dress here years ago. Another one of my…read morefriends was in search for a wedding dress and because of my other friend's experience, I suggested this spot! Happy to report that my friend found her dress! We were helped by Allie who was so patient with us from beginning to end. They have a cute dressing room for the bride to try on dresses. Allie helped my friend try on 5-6 dresses that we initially picked out, and she then brought 2-3 more to try based on the feedback we were providing throughout the fitting. After my friend picked her dress, we also asked about veils to which Allie picked a few out. She even went as far as bringing one from the back that had just been brought in. That newer veil ended up being the one my friend went home with. We were given complimentary champagne to toast to finding my friend's dress & veil. Overall, Allie and Cherie's Bridal made the process of finding a dress seamless. My friend (and I) had such a great experience overall. Local tailors were also provided to help with any alterations. Cherie's is accessible right off the parking lot (there's a direct entrance), and can also be reached through the inside of the Savage Mill building if you come in from the Big Lot.

What can I say, this experience was nothing short of amazing! I was on the hunt for a bridal dress…read moreand tried everything from a lace slip dress by Free People, to scoping out dresses amongst the masses at the scary David's Bridal, to trekking to Georgetown to the J. Crew Bridal only to be unimpressed, and finally stopping by Francesca's Bridal in Baltimore. Despite seeing several dresses I liked, I knew I wanted to have mine made. My mother is an avid reader of The Washington Post and had seen an article about Jill and her involvement with a Johns Hopkins team redesigning Ebola suits. I realized that her atelier is located in Hampden just a few minutes from where I live. I contacted her team prior to beginning my search and they let me know the price range and options. I decided to keep looking but ultimately reached out again months later and scheduled an appointment. As soon as I walked through the door I knew it would be a great endeavor. Jill is just the most lovely woman and despite creating intricate, complex, elegant, and stunning dresses was not at all snobbish or intimidating but accessible and spot on with my vision of the gown. She drew a sketch and that was that! Every little detail was incorporated, for the most part on that first day, with neat additions later on during the process. She is such a pro that she guessed by sight my measurements at my first fitting. Jill's original assistant Mia, moved out of Baltimore and was replaced by Sarah. Both women are wonderful, stylish, muses for the studio and the transition was seamless. I followed up to confirm an appointment and Sarah promptly responded. There were a few tragic, unforeseen events which meant changing appointments, but I was so impressed with Jill's utter dedication to her clients. The JAG team was always focused on the final product and their continued expert pacing. The dress creation is a process but the most fun and luxurious one a bride can imagine. If you or someone you know is tying the knot soon and wants to have a couture dress to wear and cherish for years to come, contact the Jill Andrews team. I can assure you, Jill delivers exactly what you have in mind. I've seen her creations from beach/boho to Alice in Wonderland and even Christian Dior style corset underpinnings. The best part of my dress was the Sophie Hallette lace which supplies to Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. It really helped the whimsical Midsummer Night's Dream aesthetic I was going for. They also sell bridal mix + match separates, fascinators, and do dress alterations.

I contacted Jill after my wedding gown was badly damaged by another local seamstress. From the…read morebeginning, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. (As was Mia, Jill's assistant.) Their studio looks like something out of a movie or a fairy tale, full of beautiful fabric, dress forms modeling Jill's fantastic creations, mirrors, antique furniture (to match their wonderful historic building), and about a million sewing machines. Jill was very reassuring about repairing my dress, which was especially important to me since I'd had such a bad experience previously. I never doubted her capabilities, and was continually impressed with how meticulous she was, catching details that even I had overlooked. She treated my silk dress very gently, and did her best to undo the damage that had been done. She asked lots of questions and took notes during the initial consultation, and took even more measurements and notes at our second appointment. By the third appointment, the dress was nearly complete and everything had been done beautifully! She only had another hour of work left on it, so offered to drop it off at my home when it was finished. Above and beyond! The quality of Jill's work is amazing. She took the back of my dress, which was cut up and fraying, and put in a gorgeous corset back. She even reinforced the seams to be extra sure everything would lace evenly and hold up under stress. Jill also removed yards of unevenly sewn tulle--which I'm sure took a very gentle touch--and replaced it with properly gathered and sewn tulle. When she was done, my dress looked even better than when I'd bought it. So basically, whether you've got a damaged dress, a vintage dress in need of alterations, or an imaginary dress you've been dreaming of your whole life, Jill's your gal! Jill saved my wedding dress when I'd given up hope on it, and I am so thankful that she was a part of one of the most important days of my life.
