    Whether you have an appointment or not, you will most likely be seen within 10 minutes. We didn't have an appointment, but it is best to have one to avoid a wait. You first check in on the iPad at the entrance, and then you'll be called when it's your turn. The process is very quick and from start to finish, should take about 1/2 hour. Oh and if you went to one of the local private Catholic schools, you get a discount.

    Julian was great to work with! I made an appointment online and was looking for a suit for graduation pictures and also one to reuse for other occasions. He allowed me to try on all the colors of suits that I wanted to and found the right fit for me! It also helped that I knew my sizing and how I like my suits to fit, so I knew whether to size down or up. Since they had my sizing in store, I was told that my suit would be altered and ready within a week's time! Also, as a woman who likes to wear men's suits, Julian was so chill and made me feel like any other customer! There was also a student discount which was a pleasant surprise and Julian made sure that all the sales and specials online were price matched to what he sold to me in store. I'm excited to get my suit soon!

Both of my sisters had found their wedding dresses there, and so I was hopeful but a bit unsure. I was so so fortunate to get to work with Veronica. She was incredible! So helpful, thoughtful, professional, and had such knowledge about fits and materials, and helped me find my dream dress, even though the selection was limited on my budget. She also spent so much time with me, which I know is not always possible and was just luck because it was a little slower that day (I went on a Monday). After helping me find my dream dress, Daniella stepped in for measurements and suggested a specific bolero when I mentioned I needed a jacket to wear during our church ceremony. She recommended one that was so glamorous and transformed my dress from what felt like one look, to two. I am so in love with my dress, jacket, and the matching veil she suggested. I am so sad that Panache is closing in Costa Mesa but feel so lucky I got to have the experience that I did. Truly a dream! Thank you SO much Veronica and Daniella!

Every time she asked for a change, they refused, saying it would change the designer's intention regardless of how it fits on the bride, and they kept threatening her with rush fees for any further modifications. A dress should be altered to fit the bride, not to preserve the designer's work. 1 month before our wedding they had screwed up her dress, so we had to find another bridal shop last minute and pay extra fees to make sure it would be ready in time. They refused to refund her money and told her to take the unaltered dress or they would toss it, which I found very rude. My fiancé was left in tears and under enormous stress dealing with this shop. I would strongly discourage anyone from buying their dress here.

I've been buying tailored suits from TruTailor Co. for several years, and every experience has been outstanding. Aaron consistently goes above and beyond to make the entire process enjoyable and effortless. From selecting the perfect fabric to choosing the buttons, lining, lapel style, and every other detail, he guides you through each step with incredible knowledge, patience, and attention to detail. I met with Aaron again yesterday to design several new suits for speaking engagements and events I have coming up in October. After losing more than 70 pounds, none of my previous suits fit anymore, so it was the perfect opportunity to build an entirely new wardrobe. As always, Aaron made the experience seamless and enjoyable. This time, I'm stepping up to their highest level of tailoring with a few AJ Custom suits--something I've been looking forward to for quite a while. The craftsmanship, personalization, and overall experience are second to none, and I couldn't be more excited to see the finished products and go through my next fitting. In a world where great customer service can be hard to find, Aaron and Joseph at TruTailor Co. continue to set the standard.

I recommend to booking an initial appointment to meet with Vi who will give you a run-through of the services they provide for your wedding. We talked over our floral inspiration for our reception decor, as well as trying on wedding dresses that can be bought or rented. They will alter your dress and dry clean it for you before the big day. I probably visited this shop a minimum of 10 times. I had my first dress fitting here. They had so many different dresses. I tried on at least 6 or 7 on my first fitting. I ended up going with one that I knew was the one. The rental price for it was very reasonable which came with the alteration, dry cleaning, and a veil as well. My bridesmaids and flower girl also did their fittings here as well and love the selection of dresses they had. I even got to rent a second dress for our reception so I could be more comfortable. The second dress was basically an evening gown, but the color and design is very modern and complemented most body types. I did not diet or work out for our wedding and the dress looked incredible on me. Since I am only 5'0 tall, most of the dresses had fit my height (with heels) which I am incredibly thankful for. As for the florals, we did very simple florals. Our wedding is dusty blue, cream, and a hint of gold so the Hollywood Bridal team did an amazing job putting together the bouquets, centerpieces, and the split arch for our reception entrance. The bouquets are absolutely stunning. It included the flowers I love and the exact color palette I wanted. Overall great experience with Hollywood Bridal. We appreciate getting our florals and wedding rentals from here. I received so many lovely compliments on my wedding dress as well as bridesmaids dresses. Not to mention, my flower girl was in love with her dress. We couldn't have asked for such a wonderful and memorable night, all thanks to Hollywood Bridal. Future brides, definitely give Hollywood Bridal a visit! They're open until 7pm and parking can be tricky but worth it!

So, I drove on down. The employee was a heavier set guy. He walked into the store a few minutes after we did and he went to the front counter. So, I walked up to him and was greeted. Told him i was looking for a specific type of jacket, which was a steampunk style jacket. the ones ive seen at Spirit look kind of cool, but never fit. I also told him kind of any long trenchcoat style jacket would work. They did not have what i was looking for and i was told to come back closer to Halloween when they get the Halloween stuff. Ok, I thought this was a year round place, guess not, but no big deal. Well, we did find a long trenchcoat style jacket that worked. There were two prices on the tag, so i asked him about the pricing since i had no clue why there were two. He said thats a rental. He said almost everything in there is rentals. Ok, fine, even Keith's i had no clue about this before coming in, but no problem. Here's the parts where the ONE STAR comes in. I did not know when i came in, but there was another customer in the store behind a partial wall from where i was. So he was fairly close, but I couldn't see him. At one point the amazing employee walked back to that guy and made some snide comment about "steampunk boy over there" to the customer. Sounded to me like they knew each other, at least somewhat. Thats when i saw the customer come around the other side of the wall trying something on. He to made some comment that i dont recall. Well, getting ready to leave, the employee comes back and tries to take me to the hats. He told me i needed a hat. I said no thats fine, I'll be wearing a mask so theres no need for a hat. He seemed to positively acknowledge that, but then he opened his mouth again and was a little nasty telling me if im wanting a steampunk jacket i will need a hat. So basically i reiterated what i had told him but was much more stern and told him im good. So heres the pros and cons of this place. PROs - A ton of costumes. CONs - Nasty employee. Place is WAAAYYYY too small for the amount of crap they have, it's hard to walk in there in some spots. Employee not very helpful and not very knowledgeable. Reason for ONE STAR? Nasty employee. Keeping in mind this was my first time here, with my kid. Would have looked around for a while longer and possibly found something, or something for my kid, but not after the way this guy treated me. Also, if you are mostly rental, but have some items for sale, wouldn't it make sense to have a small section for the items that are for sale? I mean, if that was the case, I easily could have looked in the for sale area (which there isnt one) and seen if i could find something or not. BOOOOO for Gasoline Alley. If you want the rental and want no help, go here. Otherwise, maybe check out Halloween Boutique in Costa Mesa, Triangle Square. Just place, organized and way more selection.
