Scroll to the bottom and click on the link to check out the reviews that Yelp randomly filtered, which do not count toward the overall score. There are TWENTY-ONE (yes, 21) more 5-STAR REVIEWS! And they are WELL DESERVED! I am not into wedding gowns... at all. And I put off the dress buying as long as I possibly could. My other bridal shoppe experiences don't hold a candle to how comfortable and welcomed I felt on both of my visits to Yes to the Dress. So wonderful, in fact, that I swore I was going to buy a dress through them because I believe they DESERVE the business. It's posh, modern, clean. The staff is knowledgeable, articulate and caring. They could have made me feel amazing in almost any dress. Unbelievably, I ended up closing the deal on a 100% custom designed, one-of-a-kind gown after attending the Leanne Marshall trunk show & the savings were significant. It was a win for the shoppe, a win for Leanne, and a major win for me. The excitement level was through the shop roof!! I lost count of the hugs being thrown around. My mom is going back for her gown, my friend's mom is going to visit for hers. For better or worse, I too read a lot of boutique reviews when I was on my search. At some point you just have to put down the Yelp and get out there. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment at this shoppe. What do you have to lose?

I had already checked out another place and didn't feel like I found "the one", so when my…read moresister-in-law suggested "Yes to the Dress", I figured why not. Madison was very nice and worked with me to find the perfect dress. She defiantly had a nice personal touch, even saying that she would come with me to make sure that the dress was altered perfectly. She said that the dress would come in the first week of June (a little over a month before the wedding). It would be little close, but not bad, keeping in mind that the dress would also need to be tailored. We also ordered to flower girl dresses from them because, they complemented my dress so well. A few months go by and the flower girls dresses were supposed to be delivered. Both myself and my sister-in-law (mother of my flower girls) called as well as stopped by to see when the dresses would be in. Every time, the date we were told, would always be moved back. This didn't make me feel good about my dress, because we were cutting it close to begin with. In the end the dresses came in about three weeks late. Of course, the first week of June came and went. Calls were made and estimates of shipping dates were given, but it kept being moved back, again. It wasn't until seventeen days before the wedding, when I called, that I was told that my dress had been in for days. Madison's assistant told me that my sister-in-law must have missed the message she left. That is impossible, she was more excited about the dress than I was, but I did double check with her (no phone call or message was ever left). I made an appointment, fifteen days left, to see how the dress fit. The personal touch from Madison, that I got when I first tried on my dress, was gone. Madison popped in long enough to see how the dress looked. I made an appointment, with her assistant, to go to the tailor. I would meet her at the store ten minutes ahead of time. She would not only drive me there, but she would also carry the dress for me. I came back, ten days before the wedding, expecting Madison's assistant to be ready to take me to the appointment. I saw her in the other room busy with a bride (I already knew what was coming). Madison told me that her assistant couldn't take me and that she was in the middle of doing inventor. She wrote down the directions, wished me good luck, and told me to send her pictures of the dress. I was shocked, but headed to LT Alterations. My sister-in-law was already there getting the flower girl dresses altered (later she said I looked confused and sad when I walked in). We got the dresses figured out, apparently Madison didn't tell her how close the wedding was, but she said she could get it done. Two day before the wedding, I got my dress. The alter was great, but the bustle seemed I little confusing....ok...really confusing. Thirteen white ties made of sheer fabric that she couldn't find during her bustle tying lesson. On the day of the wedding I had three, very patient and loving friends, up my dress for a half hour trying to figure out the bustle. They couldn't find all the little ties or maybe some of them fell off (the tailor said they were delicate). It took the event coordinator, with a handful of pins, to finally get me bustled. I loved my dress, but the games they played with me I could never recommend this business to an blushing bride-to-be.

I picked a few dresses & started trying them on. Rosemary picked out a few as we were progressing. Very relaxing, low stress experience. I found my wedding dress! The store is special because you take the dress home from the rack. This is great when the dress is your size and style. Highly recommend coming here once you've tried other bridal stores. If you find the one, you'll go home with it.

Here you can pick up a beautiful shirt or sweater that will make an outfit (and potentially cause heads to swivel). Unlike other boutiques, Linda's carries lines that you will not see everywhere (and definitely not at major department stores). While the clothes have attitude (or at least a point of view), the sales associates do not. They have been gracious and helpful every time I stop in. If you want assistance or a candid opinion, they will provide it; if you just want to browse, they will not hover. Linda's is an "old school" boutique in the best possible way.

I cannot say enough great things about Mr. & Mrs. Pasquale Scioli. This husband and wife team of…read moretailors is a Godsend to the City of Philadelphia. I just purchased a pair of khaki pants yesterday from a local store in another part of the city and after I tried them on again at home, I felt the pants length was just a little bit too long. I have to wear them at a new seasonal job. So I looked here on Yelp to search for the best tailors in town. And guess what business came up on the list? The Sciolis! WIthout knowing their background and expertise beforehand, my intuition took over. Without even looking anywhere else, I just said to myself I'm going here. After being fortunate to find a good parking space right across the street because it is far from easy to park on Passyunk Avenue, I walked in to a welcoming store by Pasquale and Anna. Once I told them them what I needed to have done, I tried on the pants, Anna took some measurements and within 2 hours, Pasquale completed the work! After Anna called me to tell me the pants were ready and I returned to pick it up, I could not be happier. I did not even need to try on my pants again. I knew based on his experience, he did them right. That is how much I trusted him. This is not just a highly reputable business and have done work for many across the city including mayor Jim Kenney, but those in public life have undoubtedly come to appreciate Pasquale and Anna for what they do! They are so friendly, so welcoming, so down to earth, so passionate to provide their service and truly make their customers feel like they are family. I cannot recommend them enough. Go see Pasquale and Anna. They will unquestionably take care of you. Wonderful service. Wonderful people.

They proceeded to bring me gowns in the $700-$2,500 range, with sleeves and tried to squish me into dresses 2 sizes too small. It turns out that they never had anything in my size. The price point is very high considering that this building is very beat up from the outside and the inside is not much better. I was wearing sweats and sneakers and the staff gave me the once over from head to toe. It felt like the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts is pre-judged from her appearance. They take your information, go into the back and select styles for you. Their selection was very matronly. I could not get out of there fast enough.

I traveled from out of town for my appointment and to pick up my dress and they were incredibly helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling. Delivery of the dress was on time, and they put up with my annoying emails asking if the dress was in yet! I truly found my dream dress here--everyone at the wedding kept asking me if I had it custom made!

I honestly don't think I could say enough good things about Liberty and Lace. THIS is exactly what…read morewedding dress shopping should be. It's helpful to note that I am plus size, and only have 5 months until the wedding date, so not a ton of time to work with. I went into this appointment extremely nervous and discouraged after having such a negative experience at a different shop earlier in the day. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew this one would be different. Julie was extremely warm and welcoming, and took the time to let me pick dresses I loved, while making suggestions based on what she thought would work for me. Since I have a larger frame and bust, many of the dresses didn't fit me exactly, but Julie was a professional at finagling and maneuvering the dresses in ways so that I could see exactly how they would fit on my body. She truly made me feel beautiful, which is amazing considering I came in feeling completely defeated. I found the perfect dress, thanks to Julie's help - and then cancelled the other appointments I had at other shops that day. I worked with Julie to completely customize my dress with the designer, so I could create something I feel even more wonderful in. She has walked me through every step of the process, making sure I understand the cost breakdown, and even allowing me to see renderings of the customized dress we created before placing the order with the designer. The level of customer service and professionalism at this shop has blown me away and I cannot recommend it any more. If you are looking for a high level of customer service, quality dresses, and a great experience, don't think twice - visit Julie at Liberty and Lace.

What a horrible experience! I have never been treated so poorly by a salesperson. When I visited…read morethe store I was the only costumer on the premise and they could not give me the time of day. I was shopping for my wedding dress and evidently they keep all the dresses (let's be honest, they probably have a laughably small selection) on the second floor and costumers are not allowed up there. So when I asked what the process was of learning what dresses they have, she gave me the most condenscending look and the poorest attitude. It was so shocking and appalling---all I was doing was trying to give them business, why we're they treating me so horribly? Little did this salesgirl know, I know a number of people who have shopped at this store previously and since hearing about this they have all pledged never to spend another dollar there. To anyone considering shopping here: not worth your time (such a small selection of items and the store was poorly set up) and be prepared for truly shocking customer service (or lack thereof).
