    I am so happy to have trusted Dorie with my wedding dress, she is extremely talented and experienced. I had a long list of alterations and adjustments that needed to be done and my dress had a lot of intricate detail and lace, and it turned out perfectly and even quicker than expected. I will say I was surprised to learn how expensive alterations can be, but unfortunately this is the case anywhere you go and Dorie's craftmanship is reflected in the high quality of her work. For such an important event like your wedding, it's not something you want to cut corners and risk going somewhere Thank you Dorie for making my dress fit perfectly and making it look even better than before!

    She was fed up with my parrot response of pleading to wait for my decision and just rescinded that deal. You can see the time stamp.

    EDIT: Dorie keeps gaslighting me on how I lied about my original layers and not going to the location with Manager Chi (probably to take this review down), which everyone else with better reviews has mentioned so I've posted more screenshots as proof. She also keeps editing her response to avoid looking like a liar so I've attached her previous comment as well. I'm not too demanding at all. All I asked for was time, which you did not give me. I went in to get a consultation because Dorie had told me ballpark was $300. Imagine my shock when I went in and was actually priced $1100. They eventually went down to $780 after a few days, which made me wonder if the steep price was for negotiation purposes. HOWEVER, I told both Chi and Dorie I needed time to make my decision as I wanted to gauge prices of other shops and where to trust. Dorie did not respect my time and texted me almost every day, basically harassing me to make appointments and asking when I'll come in. It made me VERY uncomfortable and unnecessarily stressed. On top of this, Dorie told me the $780 deal was good till the end of October and rescinded that deal immediately the day after (less than 24 hrs) when I told her I was still trying to make my decision. All this happened in a span of a week, but it felt like a month long battle. I'm sure they can do a good job but their pushy attitudes completely put me off and made me very uncomfortable to work with them. I hope they learn from this.

    This review is long overdue but I can't thank Dorie enough for working her magic on my wedding dress! When I first received my dress from the bridal store, I was feeling uncertain on whether I chose the right dress (mainly because it was too big on the top). However, when I first met Dorie during my initial consultation, she complimented my dress so much and made me feel beautiful in own skin. I also went in thinking I wanted a French bustle because of social media but Dorie assured me that an American bustle suited my dress more, and she was definitely right! When I picked up my dress, I fell back in love with it because it fit me perfectly. Dorie was also extremely quick to reply to every message and she even finished my dress 3 weeks before the original pick-up date. Thanks so much, Dorie!

    Dorie was amazing and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had my wedding end of in May and brought my dress to her in April for alterations when it arrived. Only took her about 3 weeks for alterations and I couldn't have been happier. This review has been long overdue but I'm very happy with my results. A bit on the pricier side but that's what I expected for a dress this size. I lost a lot of weight so my dress had to be taken in at the waist, cups adjusted, bustle and hemmed (5"3). Overall so happy. Would recommend!

    I had a great experience overall with Dorie and Chi! They were both kind, professional, and really dedicated to getting everything just right. I'll admit I was a little nervous at first when she cut quite a bit for the shoulder flap adjustment, but she went back and kept making small tweaks until I was completely happy with how it looked. In the end, the dress turned out beautiful and fit perfectly. I really appreciated her patience and commitment to making sure I loved the final result. For those who might be wondering, she works out of her home studio, which i wasn't expecting but it was a sweet personable experience.

    I swear Dorie did some sort of magic with my dress. I fell in love with this Grace Loves Lace style (the Nathalia), but it didn't come in anything smaller than an XS and there was just all this excess fabric that bunched up around my waist and shoulders. I thought because the lace was so intricate that I was just stuck with the bunching, but Dorie somehow tailored it to not only fit me so perfectly(!!) but also make it look like the lace was completely untouched. She will literally make your dress look like it was made for you. (I was so excited by the way it turned out I couldn't even wait for my official photos to come back lol, these were all just taken by friends and family. I'm obsessed with this dress and the way Dorie made it fit me)

    Dorie was absolutely amazing! I had done LOTS of searching when looking for someone to alter my dress, and the trust was instant when I met Dorie. She had experience with the designer of my dress, made me feel confident in her skills and had the best personality. She altered my dress perfectly the way I wanted. She even gave me suggestions on things I hadn't even thought of. She was very communicative and I could tell she took her time and altered my dress with great precision and care. She took her time during our appointments, didn't rush our time, and gave me all the attention. Don't hesitate to call Dorie!

    Boob gap

    Dorie is reachable, easygoing, and a straight shooter. Her business is at her condo, so don't be surprised when you show up. Even though it is at her condo, she does a good job at decorating it and gives clear instructions on how to find her address. My first communication with Dorie revolved around how early I should come for a consultation. She said a 3 month lead time was fine. I followed up 3 months before my wedding and made an appointment at her place. She gave me cost effective suggestions so I didn't spend too much on tailoring. Initially, I wasn't going to wear heels, but since my dress had an elaborate lace, she recommended I get 3 to 4 inch heels. She also said she can take the dress out or I can lose a little weight if I wanted to save money. Dorie is like an Asian auntie, so I didn't take offense to a comment like that, but once again, she's very candid. :) She suggested I add a bustle and hem the layers without lace, take in the dress at the chest, and add in cups. It took Dorie about 4-6 weeks to complete her alterations. When I tried on my dress, I noticed there was a slight boob gap. I took it home to try the dress with a push up bra. I was in distress but told myself I needed to speak up. I texted Dorie and sent her photos. She simply gave me another appointment, saw what I needed, and didn't charge me extra for the additional alterations. The second round of alterations took only a week. I walked away with my last fitting super satisfied and happy with the results. Thanks so much, Dorie! :) P.S. Payment is upfront via Zelle or check. Picture credit: IG - shoualorphotos

    Dorie is a true gem when it comes to wedding dress alterations - her expertise and passion for her craft are evident in every dress that hang in her condo. She was quick to respond and provide a quote over text, and was able to do my alterations with a little less than two months until my wedding!! I brought in a dress that was several sizes too big and Dorie immediately knew where to alter the dress and transformed it in a beautiful, custom fit dress, and she did it all perfectly in just one fitting. I got so many compliments my entire wedding day and it was a dream come true, thanks to Dorie's skillful work!

    (Leg tattoos redacted) Center zipper line is crooked!

    Updating my review since my wedding has passed. I have to come clean and admit that my ORIGINAL first review that I gave to Dorie back in February was 4 stars. I had listed in my original review that some of my chief complaints were (1) not being communicated with AT ALL during my dress pinning regarding any pricing or if I want to do certain alterations... they just silently pinned me without discussing if the changes were what I wanted, (2) being uncomfortable undressing in her studio with a older gentleman present and walking around in the condo, (3) lots and lots of food smells when I came to pick up my dress. The reason I changed the original review to 5 stars (and removed a bunch of negative text) was that Dorie basically spammed me the next day over text (I have the texts to prove it, and I'm hoping she does not text me again), asking me to change my review to 5 stars, in exchange for cash. I, being originally shocked at the price of the alterations, took the money because I needed to offset the cost of the alterations. In hindsight I realize this is probably why she has so many 5 star reviews -- I wonder how many other people she reached out to to change their reviews for money. So -1 star from my original 4 star review for unethical business practices. -1 more star to make my final review 2 stars. During my wedding day, the back of my dress kept shifting around throughout the day; something clearly went wrong with the alterations, because it did NOT do this when I tried on the dress off the rack. I wish I would have noticed it during the alterations fittings, but again I was uncomfortable with the whole situation. See some images from my wedding day attached -- the zipper line and slit in the back is supposed to fall in the middle. The whole evening, it kept shifting and becoming crooked, making for some sad and unusable pictures. Very disappointed that the price I paid for the alterations couldn't even result in a flawless dress for my one special day. Keeping 2 stars because my 2nd shorter dress ended up fitting okay throughout the night. Unfortunately because of these reasons above, I can't recommend Dorie to other brides. EDIT: Okay, since Dorie wants to lie and state that I demanded her money, here are some screenshots. She was the one who reached out to me first via text, she was the one who offered me money out of the blue, and she was the one who asked me to remove all the "cons" and update my review from 4 stars to 5 stars. I kindly stated for her to increase her offer since I had such a poor experience, I never "demanded" anything as you can see from my responses. Notice how her other 1-2 star reviews indicate she gaslights her customers. She can't even handle constructive criticism and will instead lie on the Yelp platform to continue bringing in innocent brides. Yes Dorie, I TOTALLY used my hand to shift my dress crooked around ALL DAY in front of all my guests, also wasting precious photography moments (which everyone knows is expensive), JUST so I could give you a 2 star on Yelp. A business with integrity would have apologized and investigate what went wrong in their process so that they could improve. Dorie just does not listen to anyone giving feedback and instead chooses to live in her own fantasy. Good luck to all the brides out there.

    Wedding day

    Goodness I wanted to leave a review for Dorie the moment I picked up my dress after it was perfectly altered after ONE fitting! But knew I had to wait until at least after my wedding was over LOL When I bought my dress, I was in between sizes & the girl helping me told me to buy the bigger size instead. I was so excited when it arrived but when I tried it on, it was so unflattering on me that I was unsure if I even liked it anymore. I went to 2 alteration consultations & had such a good feeling after meeting Dorie. Something about her just made me immediately trust her. She was so confident that I would only need one fitting & she was absolutely right. Mind you another place I had inquired with wanted a deposit before our consultation as well as an 'average of 4 fittings.' As a busy bride at the time, I thought to myself who has the time for that. I picked up my dress 7 weeks after dropping it off & my dress fit like a glove!! The bustle was so beautiful & accentuated my curves perfectly. I was able to have my dream wedding & see my vision come to life. I literally cannot thank Dorie enough!!

    I had a great experience with Dorie! She was able to contact through text, which made it really easy and she gave me instructions to get into her place. She was so nice and so helpful and really made my dress fit perfectly. On our fitting, I accidentally lost weight and she was able to fix it and bring it in further on my waist two weeks before the wedding and made it on perfect timing. Thank you again Dorie! You are amazing and so sweet! Will recommend to anyone I know

    I can't rave enough about this little lady. This is the best small business Bridal alteration find. So much experience, spot on and perfect for my bustle on my wedding dress and fitting around the bust area. She was phenomenal and did not take long at all! Such a kind heart too... I was apprehensive at first because of the cost of the dress (upwards of $5k) leaving it there but it turned perfect!

It was easy to book my appointment and it seemed like they had good availability as most bridal boutiques I looked at visiting did not. I was able to find something that fit my schedule and booked it right away. I had several family emergencies come up that delayed my visit to Blush Bridal, and every time I needed to rescheduled someone was happy to help me find something that worked better for me. I was paired with Hanna for my fitting and I could not be happier with my experience at Blush. I am a bride who does NOT care about spending a ton of money on a gown. I wanted something within a certain budget and shared that with Hanna. I loved that she didn't judge me for not wanting to spend a ton of money on a gown and instead she chose items that were within my budget and did not pressure me to try on things that were more expensive. When I arrived, she had several dresses that were reflective of my Pinterest Board that I had shared previously. I am also a mid/plus size bride (bridal size 16) and Hanna chose dresses that flattered my figure. I loved that they had sample sizes that actually fit me. I felt completely comfortable and so confident in the styles she chose for me! I ended up saying YES to the dress at Blush! I would highly recommend visiting Blush Bridal to get your dream gown. I value Hanna's expertise SO much. The entire experience was seamless! 10/10 recommend.

You can book your first visit online. Kaeli did an outstanding job of choosing dresses for me based on a couple of inspiration photos I showed her. She also listened carefully and quickly adjusted as I gave my thoughts along the way, which is quite a skill, since it was my first shop experience, and I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted going in. They have a variety of styles and price points, and Kaeli was respectful of my 2K budget, choosing dresses within budget (not all places will do this, beware!). I almost got my dress here, however, I ended up choosing a different style at a sample sale a month later due to pricing, timing, and style--I liked my top two dresses equally. I would HIGHLY recommend including this place for your OC wedding dress shopping!

Camille was truly the best - she took the time to get to know me, my family and bridal party that were with me, what I was looking for, what I had already tried on. Every step of the process she was so attentive and patient. The day of my appointment (after two back to back weekends of pretty underwhelming dress appts), I had tried on a few and liked a few aspects of the dresses pulled. The last dress of the day is when Camille pulled out THE ONE! At this point I decided to think about it as I was overthinking if this was truly the dress and she was so kind and understanding. I didn't feel pressured to purchase right then and there. I ended up booking the "The One" appointment for the following weekend and again, Camille, the staff, everything was perfect and I finally said yes to the dress! Lex helped me with measurements and ordering, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident moving forward with securing the dress.

She had also pulled some different designs just so I could see how I looked in them, which I did end up loving! At the end of my first visit, I fell in love with two different dresses. Again, it was also my first bridal salon that I had visited so far, so I was still planning on checking out other places. After telling Lex that I wanted to sleep on it/check out other places she was totally understanding and didn't "pressure" me like a lot of other places I've heard.

I was set up with Erin and she took control and understood the vibe even though I wasn't even sure what it was. The first dress I tried on had me in love and sold, but she said let's do even better! And I was shocked cause she somehow did, and she found the perfect veil to match. The bell tradition had me and my loved ones in full happy tears! I felt so heard and seen and it was so effortless for this team. Thank you for making this tomboy feel like a princess

We all sat down and she asked what I want to look and feel like in my dress, if I have an idea of what I want (shape, fabric, color, etc), if I've tried any dresses on already, and my price range. We got to browse and point out any dresses for Erin to pull while she went all around pulling any dress she thought I might like. Erin clipped me in so well that I didn't have to tug and adjust the dress while seeing how I liked it. For each dress I got to walk out to the pedestal and check myself out in the mirror and lighting. For each dress, she asked how I felt in it, what I liked, what I didn't like, what I would change... and this all helped her narrow down which dresses to try on or others to grab to add to the list. I got to try different veils (which I didn't know I wanted and it totally completed the look, so now I'm getting a veil) and even go to different lighting to see what natural lighting would look like on the sparkles too. When I found the dress, I got to participate in the Mon Amie tradition of making a wish for myself, my fiancé, and my marriage, then ring the bell and celebrate! Measurements were taken and a detailed contract was written up with pricing and a quote for alterations. Parking was easy & there is a bathroom in the back! There was a ginormous selection of dresses of all fits, fabrics, and styles.

    I truly can't say enough good things about Jaclyn's Bridal! I went to four other bridal shops…read morebefore finding this boutique, and while they were all perfectly fine, Jaclyn's Bridal really went above and beyond. I called on a Thursday morning because I wanted to try on a specific dress that was listed on their website, and they were able to fit me in for an appointment that SAME day! When I arrived, I tried the dress on, but unfortunately they didn't have it in the color I wanted. Instead of just leaving it at that, they offered to order the dress in my size and preferred color with just a $100 deposit. That way I could actually see the dress in person before making a decision. I was so impressed by how accommodating they were! About a week later, they texted me to let me know the dress had arrived and helped me set up another appointment to try it on. My stylist, Stephanie, was absolutely AMAZING. She was so sweet, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She helped me try different veils with each dress, showed me the various sleeve options, and made the whole experience feel so fun and stress-free. They're even storing my dress for me until I'm ready to start the alterations process, which was such an unexpected bonus! I honestly can't believe how wonderful this boutique has been from start to finish. After visiting several other bridal shops, the level of customer service and genuine care I received here really stood out. Thank you, Jaclyn's Bridal and Stephanie, for making what could have been a stressful process SO much fun! I'm so happy I found you!

We started off by browsing the store and picking a few dresses, and Huong also recommended a few as well based on my vision. My mom and sister had fun being able to go through the selection and suggest some dresses. I came in knowing I wanted to try on a specific dress and Huong made sure to find it for me! Throughout the whole process I felt so comfortable and supported by Huong. I just want to thank her for being so patient and kind to me. She helped me get in to each dress and never made me feel like I was a bother even though we tried on so many dresses! And she even saved the dress I came in to try on for last, just so that I could be sure that there wasn't something unexpected that I ended up liking. When I finally did try on the one, I felt so relieved that I finally found my dress! Also side note, this was actually a rescheduled appointment because I had a family emergency happen the day before my first appointment, but they were so kind, understanding, and even remembered it the day of my rescheduled appointment weeks later. That meant so much to me! I had a great experience dress shopping here and can't wait to receive my dress when it arrives later this year!

I was really unsure…read moreif I would be able to find something in my budget at Panache, but having driven by it so many times, I knew it was a special place. 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.

    Mary Me Bridal hands down provided me the best experience I could have ever hoped for…read more Stephanie Odom, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making exploring styles and trying on dresses for the first time in my life such a positive and joyful experience. My mom and I went into the store on a Monday and you were so welcoming. We tried on dresses in several styles so I could get a feel for what I liked. Quite incredibly several were contenders (disclaimer, actual dress I said yes to not pictured). Leaving Monday I felt super optimistic and we planned to come back to work with you on Thursday with my mom, future mother in love and friends. I went home Monday and proceeded to look on your website and took pictures of additional gowns I wanted to try on for Thursday. Fast forward Thursday, you had SEVERAL of those new dresses already pulled aside. You listened, observed and knew where my mind was going on style and fit. Above and beyond to come in and that you'd already prepared some other options. Wild to say but all the incredible selections I tried on, on Monday were compounded by 3 additional top contenders on Thursday when I said "yes to the dress". The turnaround time for our wedding is less than 6 months. I value Stephanie's intentionality as we explored my options and trying on things that were either in stock or could be made in time or rush made in time. Expectations were set so I wasn't put in a position where I was trying on dresses that realistically wouldn't be avaliable. SO THANK YOU! The value of your time and attention, not to mention the variety of designs you had made shopping within my budget a breeze. The service we received as well as the price point of the dresses were all reasonable and really make MMB a place for anyone. To anyone looking to at bridal gowns or bridal party dresses, look no further than Mary Me Bridal and Stephanie! THANK YOU!
