    Love my dress
    Leslie B.

    I had been looking for an elegant, formal, yet modern dress for my milestone wedding anniversary party. I wanted something striking, but not bridal. I had been spending a lot of time looking online and fell in love with dresses by a designer called Ladivine. However, all online retailers were final sale, which just did not work for me. I needed to try a dress on to see how it looked and felt. After looking up local retailers that carry the brand, I called Elegant Designs. I read off several of the model numbers for the dresses that I liked. He let me know if they had them and in which colors, or if he thought they could get them. Anyway, they definitely had one of them, but he was going to look further to see if he could get some of the others. I never got a call back. I called back a few days later to get the same story, and still no call back. Finally, I decided to go there and try on the dress they had. They had it in my size, but in a different color. I really fell in love with that dress, but was still curious about some of the other dresses. Again, he took my number and said he would call with information about the other dresses, but no call. Finally, after I couldn't stop thinking about the dress I had tried on, I asked him to get it in rose gold (color in the photo). He said I could wait and pay when I came to get fitted. That felt better to me, as I was a bit concerned about the lack of follow through. The dress came in my color quickly and he called to let me know it was in. I came to try it on and purchase it. It was $20 cheaper than I was quoted which was nice. I just needed it shortened so I could dance. He did the alterations there in the store, and I picked my dress up a couple days later. All in all, I had a positive experience, bought a dress that I love, and alterations were fast and easy. Once I had decided on my dress, the service was flawless. However, trying to find out about dresses that they didn't have in stock was impossible. I recommend Elegant Designs, but only for the styles they have in the store.

    I have to take a moment to sing the praises of this place. We looked everywhere for a prom dress, and all we could find were low quality or insanely priced dresses. My daughter's friend recommended Elegant Design, and it was a godsend. Hasib is wonderful, friendly and so knowledgeable about formal dresses! There are soooo many styles and colors to choose from, and tons of catalogues if you want to order one instead. Hasib does the tailoring and alterations personally. We've purchased two prom dresses from him now, and will be going here exclusively for all formal wear from now on.

    A wonderful experience working with Hasib, a master tailor and an amazing human being. My dress fit perfectly after he worked his magic and I can't say thank you enough for making this whole experience absolutely perfect. My daughter was married on October 11, 2025 @ Mount Cova Vinyard, Valle de Guadalupe and here is my dress on the right! Thank you again Hasib and much love always, Lisa

    We came here from the Palm Springs area. We received amazing service and they have a huge variety. I dealt with the owner, a very nice gentleman. We had a dress by the next day and altered. We want to thank him for his great services. Our daughter was very happy and stunned at her prom.

    Dress without shoes- perfect length

    This gentleman did a flawless job with my wedding dress alterations within 2 weeks notice. He also gave me the best price, which was $150. Many places were charging more or even double. We thought my dress had 3 layers. It was actually 6 though. He was generous not to charge me extra since I paid in advanced. Thank you elegant designs for quality service & affordable pricing for your community!

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! He does all the tayloring himself within 24 hours, he is so nice as well, definitely recommend this place to everyone, even if you are out of state he can send you the dresses. The dresses arrived and we tailored them locally, they were perfect

    I was in the area going to get food and walked by this store Elegant Designs. I was so warmly greeted by a gentlemen who informed me of all the services they have and was so impressed by the myriad of dresses for ANY occasion they carried! * ball gowns * pageant dresses * Debuts * Quinceañeras * proms * wedding dresses for the bride and mother of the bride/groom * you name it -- they have it! I always run into an issue of having such terrible luck of finding a dress for an event and now that I know Elegant Designs exists, I will DEFINITELY be coming here to buy my future dresses! They have so many design styles, fabrics, and sizing for all shapes. I want to kindly thank Hasib, the owner, for greeting me with a very nice warm welcome who made me feel extremely happy to be there! If you are looking for a dress -- this is your sign to visit!

    Elegant designs has a great selection of special ocasión dresses! My daughter found the perfect prom dress. The owner has the patience of a saint. I will definitely be back!

    See all

White Flower happened to be my first stop when dress shopping, and man, they set the bar high. I visited close to ten stores and every experience felt rushed, sales-pushy, and uncomfortable. That is not the case here. You get your own private room to be in the moment with your loved ones that makes the entire experience feel so much more special. Hanna, who is now my favorite person ever, deserves the biggest shoutout of all! She is kind, knowledgeable, and hilarious, which immediately made us all so comfortable. She picked up what I was putting down immediately and knew what I wanted more than I even did. I genuinely look forward to whenever I get to come back for reveals, fittings, and pick ups because it's always wonderful seeing her.

Booking online was fairly easy, but I couldn't book a weekend directly on the site which made me put it off. I eventually had a weekday off and was able to come by! Parking was easy with a lot of paid spots on the street. Hannah was my stylist and she was amazing! She saw in the notes that I was there for a specific brand so she directed me to their dresses right away. I told her what my vision was and that I had a dress that I think I want, and she recommended another off the rack option from the brand that fit the bill. She verified when my wedding was given it was only a few months away and before anything, confirmed that we were still in the timeframe of receiving it in time since they were made to order. It was great because it was really respectful of my time, in case it wasn't an option for me anymore. Luckily, it was! She was super sweet throughout and helpful in walking me through my options. When I brought up a small thing holding me back, she even let me know of an alteration I could do from the brand. I had a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I went here. Hannah is a gem!!

While some were out of my budget or would have required alterations I wasn't willing to do, I ended up finding the perfect dress--already my size, needing little to no alterations, and within my budget. We were honestly amazed. I also really appreciated that they offer to hold a dress for a short period of time (either a few hours or up to a day). When you're making a big purchase decision--especially since the dresses are final sale--it's refreshing and reassuring to see a business that encourages you not to rush. It felt honest and thoughtful, not like they were just trying to make a quick sale. The only downside was the fitting room lighting. It isn't very flattering and doesn't show well on camera, which makes it hard if you're FaceTiming family or friends for a second opinion. I'd recommend stepping toward the front of the store near the window for better lighting. As a suggestion to the store, improving the fitting room lighting would make a huge difference and would also allow customers to feel more comfortable without having to walk to the front of the shop or be visible from outside. Overall, though, it was truly a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this store.

This was the first bridal shop I visited, and the very first dress I tried on ended up being the one I had been eyeing online. I still tried on a few others just to be sure, but I kept going back to that original dress. I had seen reviews saying this shop is only for very slim brides, and I completely disagree. I have curves and the dress fit me perfectly. Since I wasn't expecting to find my dress so quickly, I took a few days to think about it before ordering. My dress arrived in about four weeks and the process was so easy. It fit perfectly and just needs some hemming. Noelle was so awesome she had let me know that I could come back with friends and family to have a yes to the dress moment which I did. Overall, such an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend Grace Loves Lace!

    I had to take a moment and write this review. I am getting married in September and today I said…read moreyes to the dress. I wasn't really looking forward to going shopping because I'm not a real girly girl, and I have not been dreaming about this day, my whole entire life like lots of brides do. I made two appointments to look for a dress. I went to the first store and it was kind of hectic and very discouraging. I didn't really have a clear idea of what I wanted because I didn't know what would look good on me, but I knew I didn't want a real puffy dress. I did not want to look like a cupcake. At the first store, the consultant just kept showing me puffy dresses and wasn't really listening to what I was saying. I had a second appointment, I am so glad I went to that one. My bridesmaids, my mother and I walked into Here Comes The Bride And Groom and was greeted by my consultant, Shelley - she is AMAZING!!! She asked us to sit down and took a moment to talk to me about what I was looking for and what I wanted to look like on my special day. I told her I really didn't know. I just wanted to look pretty and I wanted to feel comfortable. She then said no problem and brought me back with her to go look at dresses and start trying on. The first dress I put on was beautiful, and looked OK on me but wasn't the one. So we went back in the room, I put on the second dress, OH MY GOODNESS!!! I finally understood what people were talking about when they say when you put it on and it's the one you just know. I didn't pick the dress out my consultant Shelley did, she knew immediately what would look good on me and asked me to please try it on. As soon as I put it on, and saw myself in the mirror, I knew that this was my dress!!! I went out to show my mom and my bridesmaids, and before I knew it I was ringing a bell and holding a sign that said I said YES TO TH DRESS!!!!! The OWNER Rebecca came out and asked if we wanted to celebrate with some champagne, and proceeded to get glasses and toast to me finding my dress. We celebrated and she took pictures with my whole party. We had so much fun and felt so special. Then it was time to get measured, do the payment and contract with Jennee, who I assume is the office manager. She was quick, efficient and explained everything to me. I just wanted to give special thanks and shout out to Shelley, Rebecca and Jennee for being a part of such a special day!!! If you are getting married, don't hesitate - go see the best there is! Shelley is so knowledgeable and will stop at NOTHING to find you your perfect dress!!! The owner is amazing, helpful, and friendly and the office manager made signing the contract easy and breezy.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Karla, the seamstress, who truly went above and beyond in every possible way. Her attention to detail is unmatched, she made sure every inch of my dress fit perfectly and looked flawless. But beyond her talent, it was her energy and care that made the experience so special. She brought excitement and positivity to every single appointment and always made me feel beautiful and confident. As a very Type A bride, I was definitely anxious and stressed throughout the process, but Karla constantly reassured me that everything would come together and she was right. Every appointment felt supportive and uplifting, and by the end, my dress was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. And let me just say Karla made sure this dress was indestructible. Based on the fitted style I chose, I truly didn't think I'd even be able to sit, let alone move comfortably. I was so worried about the zipper or seams giving out, but not even close. I danced all the way down to the floor, moved freely all night, and somehow even managed to lift myself up and over a fence for the most stunning cliffside photos. The craftsmanship and reinforcement she put into my dress gave me total confidence to fully enjoy every moment without holding back. If you're looking for a place that truly cares and a seamstress who treats your dress like it's the most important one she's ever worked on, this is it. I'm so grateful for this experience and will never forget how special they made me feel on such an important journey

She did a great job clamping the dress to fit me and just made me feel so good in my own skin. The dress is truly amazing, and in such a large part that's due to her.
