The Dress Matters is a charming and intimate bridal boutique. We had our own little showroom…read more(myself and 3 guests), and we were allowed to shop through the dresses. I chose this as one of my shops because they carry Tina Valerdi, and Debbie pulled every Tina Valerdi gown they had for me :) The selection is beautiful, and she was kind, patient, and friendly. She even stayed past my appointment time to help me. I posted pictures of my 2 favorite dresses at her salon. One of them is a sample dress for only $100!!!!! At the time of my visit, it was my top pick, and she graciously offered to hold it for 24 hours for me. Although I ultimately chose a dress from another boutique, I am so glad I came to The Dress Matters. Thank you!!!

However from the moment I walked in Kim and the whole staff made the experience so easy and made me excited about picking the perfect dress.

This is the only shop in the Philly area that cares the Kelly Faetanini brand. The Kelly Faetanini brand has a variety of styles, but they definitely tend to skew toward the more modern bride. All the dresses are gorgeous and the staff are courteous and helpful. I traveled from out of town for my appointment and to pick up my dress and they were incredibly helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling. Delivery of the dress was on time, and they put up with my annoying emails asking if the dress was in yet! I truly found my dream dress here--everyone at the wedding kept asking me if I had it custom made!

I honestly don't think I could say enough good things about Liberty and Lace. THIS is exactly what…read morewedding dress shopping should be. It's helpful to note that I am plus size, and only have 5 months until the wedding date, so not a ton of time to work with. I went into this appointment extremely nervous and discouraged after having such a negative experience at a different shop earlier in the day. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew this one would be different. Julie was extremely warm and welcoming, and took the time to let me pick dresses I loved, while making suggestions based on what she thought would work for me. Since I have a larger frame and bust, many of the dresses didn't fit me exactly, but Julie was a professional at finagling and maneuvering the dresses in ways so that I could see exactly how they would fit on my body. She truly made me feel beautiful, which is amazing considering I came in feeling completely defeated. I found the perfect dress, thanks to Julie's help - and then cancelled the other appointments I had at other shops that day. I worked with Julie to completely customize my dress with the designer, so I could create something I feel even more wonderful in. She has walked me through every step of the process, making sure I understand the cost breakdown, and even allowing me to see renderings of the customized dress we created before placing the order with the designer. The level of customer service and professionalism at this shop has blown me away and I cannot recommend it any more. If you are looking for a high level of customer service, quality dresses, and a great experience, don't think twice - visit Julie at Liberty and Lace.

I had a fantastic experience with Creator's Court. I brought in three suits for adjustments,…read moreincluding one made of Japanese selvedge denim. After calling around the area, I found very few tailors who were comfortable working with that specific fabric, but he handled it flawlessly. He was incredibly courteous and patient with all of my requests. As a young professional, I also really appreciated the time he took to share his insights on proper garment handling, his tailoring methods, and how to wear various suit styles. The end result was exactly what I was looking for, a perfectly tailored, relaxed silhouette. I am highly impressed and easily recommend his services

He spent more time with me than anyone ever has during a fitting, making sure every detail was just right and that I felt completely confident in each dress before I left. It's clear that he truly cares about his work and about making his clients feel their best. The quality of the alterations is outstanding, and the personalized service made the entire experience stress-free.

Great experience! I made an appointment online & had filled out a form of what type/style of dress…read moreI wanted. There was a $25 deposit (which is later used towards if you purchase a dress). We arrived right on time and were the only people in the store. We were brought in the back dressing area. Rosemary was so sweet and helpful. She showed me what area had my dress sizes. I picked a few dresses & started trying them on. Rosemary picked out a few as we were progressing. Very relaxing, low stress experience. I found my wedding dress! The store is special because you take the dress home from the rack. This is great when the dress is your size and style. Highly recommend coming here once you've tried other bridal stores. If you find the one, you'll go home with it.

After going to 3 other salons and trying on ~30 dresses, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted…read more When we walked in, I immediately saw multiple dresses on the racks that fit my vision. I was looking for a sweet, romantic A-line dress. Our consultant, Jennifer, was very nice and knowledgeable. My sister, mom, and I were able to look at the dresses on the rack and pick out which ones I wanted to try on. The store was so clean, bright, and well organized. The dressing rooms were very spacious, as well. After I put on each dress, Jennifer would ask me how I felt in the dress before going out to show my family. She really made the appointment about me and I am so appreciative of that. I fell in love with the second dress I tried on. I was so happy and confident in the dress and finally felt like I had found what I was looking for! They had a fresh bouquet delivered during my appointment which was the perfect addition to the dress trying on experience. Jennifer let me twirl around the store in the dress and helped me picture different moments during my wedding. I had pretty much already said "yes" in my head, but then out of nowhere, my first dance song came on over the speakers. Of course I bursted into tears and couldn't believe how perfectly it all played out. I am so happy to have said yes to the dress at Philly Bridal Studio! I can't wait to wear the dress in May!

On Monday (under duress- hers, not mine) my mom and I went Mother of the Bride dress shopping. Our…read morefirst stop was Occasions. It's a pretty small store and on a Monday we were some of the only people in there. First floor is mother-of-the-bride type stuff in one room, communion and flower girl dresses in another, and prom dresses upstairs. The MOB side is a mix of kinda dowdy and really flashy. The woman was pretty helpful, although she had only been working there for a few weeks. Mom tried on a bunch of things and didn't find much that she was interested in. There were about 3 styles that she thought she would like and just as we were about to create a file a friend of the sales woman came in and she went up to the prom floor with her and sent someone else down to finish the little bit of paperwork...which felt like a brush off.

From the moment I walked in, I felt valued as a customer. My dress was a ballgown and needed a serious hem, a bustle, cups added and to be taken in.
