I bought my dress at Anthropologie and Victoria's bridal was on their list of recommended tailors…read more Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. I sent detailed images of my dress and was quoted $800. A couple of months later, at the end of my first appointment, the tailor handed me a bill for over $1600. After I checked with her, she took a couple hundred off for the bustle but basically said sometimes prices of materials and services change. I was completely shocked. This drastic price change should be communicated to customers. I was lucky that I could scrape together an unplanned expense and pay more than my dress for alterations... But I am a teacher and this was a pretty big blow financially. I should have taken my dress back then and gone somewhere else, but I figured that I wouldn't have time and told myself it was worth it. It wasn't. The seamstress was not friendly, and didn't take questions well. When she finished the bustle it was a line of hooks (like small bra hooks) along the back of my dress and was an eyesore. I took it back and she fixed the bustle, but this left holes along the seam where the hooks were. My fitted dress had buttons down the back, and after tailoring a button under my butt didnt lay right and caused a weird fold if I leaned back at all. When I brought this up, she snapped "you won't be bending over backwards at your wedding!" And didn't address it further. Well, I just got my photos back and that weird fold is apparent in many of my photos. That spot makes it look ill fitted and sloppy. (And yes you WILL be bending back at your wedding when dancing, dipping, kissing, and laughing!) Also, when I took my dress in to get the bustle fixed, her assistant told me an incredibly disturbing annecdote about wanting to euthanize his cat by putting it in the freezer... Not what you want to hear when you're in wedding mode (or ever!!!) All in all, this was one of the most stressful and disappointing parts of planning my wedding. I shed many tears. The whole process made me dislike my dress from all of the stress associated with it. I would not recommend this place.

It was lovely working with Nora and the team at Victoria's Bridal. We had a very short schedule for…read moreeverything to plan this wedding and get a lot done ourselves in just 3 months. I bought a sample dress almost exactly a month before the wedding date. Despite our hurry the team were courteous, professional, and very body-positive! I felt incredible after they had customized my too-tight fitting, intricately beaded mermaid-style dress. After not being emotional or particularly attached to any of the dresses I had quickly tried, I fell in love with; the Kitty Chen "Andrea" that did not quite zip when I purchased it. They did an incredible job adding that inch, created the many-point bustle needed and showed us how to do "bustling" in a video my maid-of-honor filmed. Thank you SO so much for working with me and making our wedding day so special! Everyone was BLOWN AWAY by my ceremony/ dinner dress, both by the fit and how elegant it was. I wish I could have worn it all night, but it is a masterpiece that I would have deeply regretted damaging. So they somehow, very graciously on our tight timeline, also fit in alterations for a second "dancing" gown that I partied down in and even got to wear back to the hotel instead of changing yet again!! My second dress was gorgeous as well, worked wonderfully for dancing, and was absolutely comfortable; this one they had to take-in, shorten and reconstruct the corset at the base where it had ripped with the prior owner. I highly recommend you call Victoria's Bridal and see if they are a good fit for you!

DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR WEDDING DRESS FROM HERE. I would strongly caution anyone considering…read morepurchasing a wedding dress from Luxe and Lace/Bellevue Bridal. I ordered my wedding dress in October 2025 and was told it would arrive sometime between June and early July 2026. As that timeframe approached, I received absolutely no updates from the boutique. At the end of the estimated delivery window, I called to ask about the status of my dress. I was told they would contact the designer and get back to me. They never did. After hearing concerns about this boutique from another bridal shop while dress shopping with a friend, I decided to contact the designer directly myself. The designer confirmed that my dress order had not been accepted because Luxe and Lace/Bellevue Bridal had outstanding balances on their account that needed to be paid before the designer would accept another order from them. For months, I believed my dress had been ordered and everything was on track. In reality, my order had never even been accepted by the designer, and at no point did the boutique communicate this to me. I cannot put into words how upsetting it was to find this out myself after trusting them with such an important, expensive, and time-sensitive purchase. After this came to light, the owner offered me their sample dress--the same style I had originally ordered--along with free alterations. My mom and I called and emailed multiple times trying to schedule a time for me to come in, try on the sample, and make sure it was actually in the condition they claimed. I was especially concerned because photos from when I originally tried on the sample showed missing beads. Despite repeatedly trying to arrange a time to see the dress, the owner completely stopped responding to us. At that point, I was only eight weeks away from my wedding with no wedding dress, and we were forced to file a credit card chargeback. And unfortunately, the dress isn't the only issue. I also ordered my veil through them, and I have been unable to get any communication regarding that order either. Since all of this happened, I have also connected with multiple other brides who have shared similarly horrific experiences with this boutique. Hearing their stories has made this situation even more concerning to me because my experience does not appear to be an isolated incident. I am now scrambling to find another wedding dress with very little time before my September wedding. What should have been one of the most exciting and special parts of wedding planning has instead become one of the most stressful experiences of the entire process. If you are considering purchasing your wedding dress here, please be extremely cautious. Ask detailed questions, follow up on your order, and get confirmation directly from the designer that your dress order has actually been placed and accepted. Do not simply assume that everything is on track because you haven't been told otherwise--I did that for months, and I didn't find out the truth until I contacted the designer myself. Based on my experience, and what multiple other brides have since shared with me, I would think very carefully before trusting Luxe and Lace/Bellevue Bridal with such an important and time-sensitive purchase.

The best part was they gave me a tub of Mink oil with the instructions to rub the boots every 4 to 5 months to condition the leather. I ended up with a pair of Ariat Midtown Ramblers in Barn Brown, size 10. It was an amazing customer experience and I would highly recommend it.

I noticed the prices were very good on her posts so I decided to take a look at her website. I saw nothing but good reviews so I decoded to reach out to get a consultation. After being super indecisive I ended up giving Molly a call and she was super helpful and knowledgeable. She worked with me on picking the perfect stone , choosing a nice setting and designed it start to finish. The turnaround time was very fast and she gave me updates quite frequently throughout the whole process. She video chatted me with the actual diamond and sent me preliminary CAD drawings. She even gave me suggestions and ideas about making a proposal. I ended up choosing my lady's favorite restaurant and tried to make a reservation which didn't go as planned. The lady at the restaurant blew me off the phone. I told Molly what happened and she called the restaurant and got the manager on the phone. She literally set the reservation for me and had the manager reach out to me. I didn't expect her to go out of her way to do that for me but she was legitimately concerned about this being perfect. I was able to coordinate my proposal with the restaurant manager and it was AMAZING thanks to her. The ring came out sooooo nice I will have to post a picture of it when I get a chance. I had to delete all the ones I had because I didn't want her snooping through my phone and spoil it all lol. If you're looking for an honest and reputable jeweler then go with EB. I took a chance and it paid off and she has a customer for life. Thank you for getting me the best quality ring I've seen for the price by far and even better customer service. I will be back soon!
