I am utterly amazed at the staff's professionalism and ability to put at ease even a plus-sized, long-term-undergarment-phobic like me. The fitting took 60 seconds and then I explained my requirements for every day (no itchy lace plus extreme comfort with enough support to keep my back from hurting), and what I need for a special event dress (support you cannot see; comfort optional). Dana brought me many different options for both scenarios, which, to the extent I was comfortable with it, she helped me to try on and adjust. Very quickly I became so comfortable that she helped me the whole time. Dana is fabulous but relatively new, and so a wonderful expert verified everything she did. They explained to me the different bra styles and what they do, as well as UK vs US sizing etc. It was a terrific experience. Ultimately I chose a $56 strapless for the event dress, and for every day, I picked two $99 each Evelyn Bobbie sports-bra variations and a $65 Emoli underwire for the every day occasions when I need to dress less casually. So. For $317 I got: 1. An expert fitting in a private setting 2. Two hours of un-rushed selection and fit assistance plus education from incredible ladies who both know their stuff and understand the "ick" factor. 3. Two everyday comfort bras that fit well. 4. One "dress a little better" every day bra. 5. One strapless bra for the event dress. When I was checking out, there was a woman of about 40 at the register next to me who had driven 85 miles for their services. The checkout staff said "yes we have people who come from all over". I understand why. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

It was a terrible experience…read morebecause the person who was assisting me could not find bras that fit me and tried to convince me that they are supposed to be uncomfortable.. I told her that I could not wear what I was trying on because it was painful and she said that I would just have to deal with it. A couple of weeks ago I was walking by the store at its new location and I thought perhaps it would be a different situation with different people inside. Because I am a larger size they could not find any bras that fit me that were Wireless. I do not wear underwire bras to protect my health. The sales person behind the counter who helped me was very kind and dug around in the back to bring me things to try on. At one point, I was wearing a bra that she thought would fit me based on the size that I told her I was, and I showed her how I was coming out all over the place and told her I needed a larger size. She excused herself and went and got someone else. And I am pretty sure this is the Owner or Manager and most likely the same cruel person I encountered years before. This person started to argue with me about how I could not have another size. And I said I needed a larger size and the first sales person looked at the other one asking permission if she can get me a larger size and then that one, the manager or whatever again tries to talk me out of it. It was as if I needed permission to go up to a larger size. This store is useless if you are in the larger size realm. I will never go back again and I look forward to finding a place where I can get an actual fitting like I did in New York years ago from a French bra shop, which was spot on and perfect the first time with many options.

I went with my daughter's recommendations to try Je Suis Jolie. This shopping experience could not have been easier! I was out the door in 5 minutes at most. It's all about the service. The manager - just by looking at me- gave me a more accurate size for my bra. Who knew that all these years I was wearing the wrong size? Anyway, I explained the difficult task ahead and she wisely pulled out a different size from what I told her and politely suggested that I just try it. Needless to say, it was a perfect fit. Could not be more pleased. If you need a bra for a special occasion or just someone who understands what your size actually is, I would highly recommend this store! They have a wonderful inventory and obviously extremely knowledgeable and professional fitters. Home run for me.

It seemed clear to me however that the owner of the boutique, who had initially been extremely friendly over the phone, was not particularly interested in my business. Although she had originally told me on the phone when I made an appointment that she would be happy to help me select a dress, when I arrived she seemed cold and disinterested and handed me off to another salesperson . She then approached a second customer who seemed lovely - and was a size 0 for sure. I have heard that this is the reputation of the boutique, mostly catering to the size 0 and size 2 set. I feel very happy with my beautiful (expensive) dress . Again when I returned to pick it up today after it was fitted, the owner was fairly perfunctory with me. She didn't ask if I was happy with the dress that I was going to be wearing to my son's wedding. When one has a special event coming up and goes to a lovely boutique like this to pick something special out, one wants to feel like a special customer.

Mari Mi Bridal

Using Mari Mi Bridal is the single biggest regret I have with my wedding. For those who don't want…read moreto read a long form essay on the million ways they screwed me over, the summary is that we purchased a dress, including a $200 rush fee for the dress to be ready in June and a $200 fee for the dress to be lined. The dress came unlined approximately 6 weeks later than promised, and Mari Mi repeatedly never returned my calls. They promised in writing to reimburse me for the cost of putting the lining in (I was charged $400 from my seamstress for just the lining issue), but as of this posting they have not despite requests to do so. I went dress shopping in March for my September wedding, and purchased a ~$3500 dress with $200 rush fee and $200 lining fee. I was told the dress would be ready in mid June ( I don't recall the exact date). Mari Mi reached out once to confirm which panels I wanted lined. We agreed to line several panels in the bodice and hips, and they shared a photo of what exactly would be lined. On July 1st, I had not heard about my dress pickup so I called Mari Mi. I was told someone would call me back. No one did, so I called the next day. I was told someone would call me back in 30 minutes. No one did. I called a 3rd day in a row. At that time I was told the dress was late, still hadn't shipped, and I should make a pickup appt for the end of July. They could not tell me why the dress was late, nor did they offer to refund the $200 rush fee. I made a pickup appt for July 30th. Did they call me when my dress actually came in? Of course not. On July 30th I arrived to pick up my dress, and the dress was unlined in ~6 of the 8 panels we agreed to (depending on how you count the panels). I brought this up to the sales associate, who said she would reach out to her boss. It was honestly very upsetting as I already had a horrible experience with them, and when they finally delivered the dress it was so far from what we had agreed upon and I had very limited time to fix it. The dress has several see-through mesh areas including deep in the hips, and I would feel very exposed if I was getting married in it unlined. Genuinely, I would not be able to wear underwear as the side straps would be visible with the cutouts. At this point I went to their website and submitted a complaint. The owner offered to "pay" for the lining in alterations (though we had already paid for the lining when buying the dress.) The next day I went to my alterations appointment with my seamstress and explained the situation. They needed fabric from the dressmaker to line the bodice in the areas Mari Mi had failed to line, so they called Mari Mi. I could not hear the exact conversation, but the account from my seamstress was that Mari Mi only offered to line the bodice in the fabric from the skirt, which was simpler fabric that did not match the bodice as the bodice had a lace layer. My rockstar seamstress was luckily able to procure the correct bodice fabric on their own. My seamstress charged $400 for the lining to be put in after the fact as they had to buy fabric+shipping+labor, and I overheard that Mari Mi were being super rude to them about the cost. It was actually originally $500, but my seamstress gave a discount as a courtesy to Mari Mi. Again I had paid $200 to line the dress originally and Mari Mi did not check it when it arrived and handed me an unlined dress. It's not surprising to me that it would cost more to put in during alterations than when the dress was being made. Ultimately, if you want a bridal shop that will return your calls and deliver the dress you agreed to in the timeline you agreed to, consider going anywhere else. And again, as of this posting Mari Mi owes me $400 for lining (and arguably $200 for the rush fee) that they have not paid and instead have ignored my emails requesting to be reimbursed as they promised in writing to do.

When I checked in and filled out the bridal questionnaire, I forgot to tell her what designer I was most interested in. As we were browsing the dresses, I stopped her to let her know and she said she had already pulled a TON of dresses from that designer! It made me feel comfortable and confident that she knew the exact vibe I wanted to go for. Dresses in many different price ranges, and they are so respectful of your budget. While trying on dresses, she was extremely knowledgable about adjustments that were available for each gown (linings, sleeves, bustles, etc.). Different from many other bridal shops in Philly, my crew and I were able to browse the racks ourselves, and pick a few dresses to try on in addition to the ones Alicia pulled for me. The appointment was 90 minutes, so I really felt like I could take my time, have fun, and see which gown really spoke to me! When I got overwhelmed, Alicia was so helpful and made sure we slowed down - she even offered me chocolate and some words of encouragement! She really was the best, and I'm so happy I ended up getting my dress here. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend to all brides!
