I couldn't recommend a place more. I had the best experience with Bryce and Sadie at Brocade. Going…read moreinto my appointment, I knew I wanted an a-line or ball gown dress and thats about it. After briefly talking with Bryce about my venue, how I wanted to look and feel, and showing a few reference photos, Bryce said "Alright, let's go look - this isn't a museum, feel free to touch!". I got to try on many different styles until Bryce ultimately found my dream dress. We had the most incredible time, you feel so welcomed the moment you walk in and you won't want to leave. Please go to Brocade, they are the best!

This salon refused to even allow me an appointment. They wouldn't serve me with 15 weeks until my…read morewedding date when the designer dress I wished to order only had a 10 week ordering time frame. They further decided I was upset I couldn't order the gown off the rack when I simply wanted a dress ordered from the designer and know my measurements. It's their loss as I need 2 gowns, one for destination and one for the later stateside ceremony, but please take your business elsewhere if you actually want service instead of judgement and snobbery.

Lex's of Carytown was my very first bridal appointment, and overall, it was a solid experience…read more They had a decent selection of gowns, and their dressing room process was by far my favorite of all the places I visited. I was able to try on a lot of dresses in a short amount of time thanks to how efficient and respectful they were. Each dress was placed in my fitting room already unzipped, so I could easily slip it on, and a stylist would come in just to zip it up. It was such a modest and comfortable process, and I really appreciated that. That said, I didn't experience much interaction or guidance from my stylist. Maybe it was because I had two people with me to talk through things, but I don't recall receiving any input, suggestions, or just general information from the staff. I also wasn't offered help picking dresses or narrowing things down by budget. I can't speak to prices overall, as I wasn't really focused on that during my visit. In hindsight, since it was my first stop, I may have unintentionally taken more of a "browse everything" approach. While I'm grateful for the chance to try on so many options here, the lack of personal connection ultimately made me glad I didn't find my dress at Lex's. I found much more warmth, support, and guidance at the shop where I said yes.

They have a great selection of dresses and seem to change their options decently. The workers have always been nice and attentive and helpful with giving suggestions. I've always been able to find dresses when I have an occasion and the prices aren't too bad.

From making my appt the week before to the day of my appt every employee was courteous and able to provide me with all the answers to my questions. As a plus size woman, bridesmaid dress fitting can be a little overwhelming, but Elizabeth ( who I realized at the end of the appt is actually the owner of this location) was so sweet and really wanted me to find the fit that would work best for me. I can't say enough about this location, it was a breath of fresh air to have experienced this type of customer service. I will definitely keep them in mind for the future !

Their dresses are extremely overpriced and I received terrible customer service when trying to…read morearrange the pickup of my dress. For context, the bride and other bridesmaids are based out of DC but I made a fitting appointment and ordered my dress from the Richmond location. At the time of my in store order, the consultant said that I was good to go and they'd call me when my dress arrived in Richmond. Fast forward almost 6 months later, after trying to track my dress down over the past two weeks (I received an email on 3/10 saying my order had arrived and they would be shipping them out to us the next day), the DC office said they had the dress and apologized for the mixup and told me to send them an I address so they could ship it to me, there was NO mention of an additional charge or that they would not ship the dress to another Bella location. Today, they informed me that it would be an additional $26.50 for them to ship the dress to my home address as they do NOT ship dresses between locations. It's absolutely ridiculous that this information was NEVER communicated to me at any point during this process and I will be highly discouraging my friends and family from using Bella in the future.

I had one give up on me this morning RIP and I'm getting ready to go out of town so i was desperate.

The entire team went above and beyond to help me find bras that fit me well, covered all the good bits, and supported the girls! Thank you all so much for making sure I had exceptional service!

I've gotten a few pants taken in here. Mone is great! I really never thought about getting my…read moreclothes tailored so they fit perfect, but I started with one pair of pants and I'm hooked. Becuase I've only needed minot adjustments, it's taken less than 10 minutes for her to pin my attire to the needed measurements. AND, when I got my items back I couldn't even tell where the adjustments were made so it looked super natural. Can't speak too much to turn around time, I dropped stuff off before a vacation and picked them up when I returned. I would call first just in case she's closed/on vacation.

Quick, Easy, & Affordable…read more I brought some jeans to get hemmed, and the whole process took maybe 2 minutes. Turnaround time was about 3 days. The total for 2 pants with a regular hem was $30. I had never been to a tailor before this, so I was a bit nervous going in; however, the staff was super kind and made the whole thing super comforting & inviting.

I had the absolute best experience here with Quincy. I made a first time dress appointment online…read more I brought my mom and mother-in-law. There was tons of gorgeous natural lighting. There are two fitting rooms next to each other, but separated by a room divider. Each fitting room was spacious and had a little stage with couches surrounding them. I had a fantastic experience. I filled out a form about what I was looking for beforehand. Quincy pulled out some dresses she thought I'd like and really did an amazing job. She was kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I tried on a lot of beautiful dresses all within my budget which I loved. She was so transparent about pricing and which dresses were made to order. Although I haven't officially bought a dress yet, I really keep daydreaming about one specific one I fell in love with here. I highly recommend visiting Blue Sage Bridal for your wedding dress needs.

I can be very self-conscious and my own worst critic. Rachel made sure every step of the way I was comfortable, and I felt confident. I was able to find my dream dress, and I fell in love with it! My mom and sister were with me and it was just a perfect (and quick!) experience Also - if you go there please try this dress on! It was absolutely gorgeous, but it just didn't fit my venue vibes!
