The service was incredibly professional and friendly. Ann looked at me once and immediately knew the right size -- the fit was perfect with only a few quick adjustments needed. The entire process, including trying on the tuxedo and waiting for the alterations, took only about 30 minutes. The price is honestly the best I found in the Bay Area, especially compared with the quality, speed, and personal service they provide. Ann truly saved my life and helped me get ready for my event that same evening. Thank you, Lan's Formal Wear, for your amazing service and making a stressful last-minute situation so easy

After shopping around, I realized the same dress was available at other bridal boutiques for less. By the time I paid for the dress and the required alterations, I had spent over $7,000. I recommend future brides compare prices at multiple boutiques before making a purchase and ask about the expected cost of alterations upfront. It may save you a significant amount of money.

After visiting five other bridal salons across the Bay Area, Papers and Petals was truly the only…read moreplace I could have imagined buying my wedding dress! So many other shops give you a strict 90-minute window, pressure you to make a quick decision, and rush you out the door. Papers and Petals was a complete breath of fresh air. I specifically worked with the owner, Georgette, and one of their amazing consultants, Paige. They let me take my time, listened closely to everything I loved and didn't like about each dress, and used that exact feedback to pull options until they found my perfect dress. They were so patient, letting me retry favorites and go back and forth until I was 100% certain and so incredibly excited. They even let my appointment run over because they genuinely wanted to make sure I was confident and super happy with my decision. The exceptional service continued long after I said yes to the dress. Georgette's son and co-owner, Joseph, was wonderful to work with during my fittings. He is so flexible, accommodating, and keeps the whole shop running seamlessly. Every single person I interacted with during fittings and pickup was incredibly kind and helpful, and any concerns I had were solved on the spot. I absolutely loved my dress on my wedding day and am so happy. I would recommend any bride looking for "the one" to go here!

Marina at Le Caprice is a lifesaver!…read more I ordered a Vivienne Westwood gown from a very popular bridal shop. When I tried it on during pickup, I knew something was off. It took 3 stylists just to hook the dress together before it could be zipped up. I had not gained any weight since ordering, and the dress felt like it had been ordered a size too small. The stylist who was helping me put on the dress kept reassuring me that the gown had a hard corset, and because it was strapless, it was meant to fit that tightly. Well before my actual wedding, I had my courthouse ceremony... I needed a lot of help to get the dress hooked on, and when it came time to drive to the courthouse, I couldn't even sit up. I had to lean the car seat all the way back in order to make it to the courthouse. The entire afternoon I was so uncomfortable that I didn't even want to drink water. After that experience, I brought my dress to Marina at Le Caprice. She took one look at my back and didn't even bother zipping me up. She assured me that my dress was too small, that it was not just in my head, and offered to remove the zipper and replace it with a corset back! I was nervous because I really loved the top part of my dress and how snatched it made my waist look, but when I received my dress it still looked just as perfect! Not only that, but I was completely comfortable in it when I was sitting and eating at my reception (: Marina was able to complete the alterations super fast at a fair price and I think the corset was elegantly executed. I highly recommend coming to Le Caprice!

I said I needed it by Saturday in the morning. No problem. When I walked in, she was busy taking measurements on a customer, while another waited. I asked if she wanted me to come back since she was busy. Yes. So, I ran errands for about an hour and went back. I showed the seamstress my dress and told her I just wanted the dress taken up to the slip. She protested and said she would need to take up the slip as well because it would show. (Not if she hemmed it a 1/2 inch below the slip) I asked how much for both. I heard $17 and thought, "Great!" But, when I repeated 17, she corrected me and said $70!!! What? It's just a simple jersey-knit. No beads or lace or anything. A plain, simple dress that didn't even cost that much. I went to Kyoto Cleaners located right across from them and she charged only $20 for both.

If you are a bride, bridesmaid or have an important dress/outfit needing expert alterations, this is the place. I can't believe how great of a job they did. I asked them to hem, and do "work on my bridesmaid dress" to cover my cleavage and shorten the straps. The expert seamstresses came up with an idea to reuse the hemmed fabric to add a much needed inch to the draping of the bodice to cover my over exposed cleavage. They were able to do a rush job turnaround in a week, and the results were stunning. I would have been embarrassed to show so much skin, but they did such a beautiful job that the bride loved the dress on me even more. And their store location is beautiful. It was truly a VIP experience. See my before selfie. I'm quite exposed. And then the end result with a more modest finish.

I hope Aritzia management sees this as she was very rude and condescending to an old lady and to another young couple in front of us.
