I've been doing business with them for over 20 years. Never have I been disappointed with selection, quality of fabric or customer service From flower girl dresses to mother of the bride, bridesmaid dresses and my personal favorite my daughters wedding gown - 10 yards of his finest silk I used his suggestion of using pearls since she didn't want lace. read more

The business owner just responded to my review. I now stand firm on my original rating of this place. I'd give it a ZERO if I could. Owner's response: "When you have a problem you contact management. Not put it on a sight so that my harm them But you are one of thous that enjoy trying to put a business out of business. GET A LIFE" Right. If you really cared about good customer service, then you would have shown it the first time around. I shouldn't need to contact management to get proper service. Also, assuming that I would even want to conduct business there after that poor encounter, the rude gentleman who was not-so-helpful was the owner, so who was I suppose to complain to??? This response just further proves my point. The owner (and based on other reviews, probably the employees as well. Why not if the owner behaves this way) is RUDE!!! read more

Sposabella Lace - Owner's not-so-professional response. - Bridal Near Me - New York, New York

This place is the absolute BEST! I wish I could give them more stars. After searching so many bridal stores for the veil I wanted I came to the conclusion it didn't exist so I sought out some options to have it made. I was very nervous having never dealt with them before. But the service was amazing from start to finish. We started with some different tulles and I brought some material I wanted to incorporate from my dress, they have endless supply of every lace for edging you can imagine. With measurements and drawing out my ideas on a page it was sent to be cut, a couple of weeks later I came back and they have everything pinned just in place so we could still make amends I was so excited we added some bits and then I came back two weeks later to the most beautiful veil you can ever imagine.I am so excited to wear it for my wedding. This store and it's staff are so knowledgeable and absolute professionals at what they do. Could not recommend them anymore. read more

Do not go in this place if your a bride! The customer service is terrible and rude. I NEVER write reviews, but I am now especially with the experience I just had there an hour ago picking up my bridal head piece that cost over $300!! . The older Spanish short women (who I think is the manager, Alice?) was so nasty, and has absolutely no customer skills! The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the owner apologized on her behalf and I had a super nice and sweet sales assistant. They are the only reason whyy i walked out with my peice The sales assistant was working with me on placement and curving the piece a certain way for the updo I'll have for my wedding day. I asked if god for bid, something happens to my head peice the day I have bridal hair trail, if a stone falls out, a piece breaks, whatever it is. As a bride you think of all the "what if's" I didn't ask for it to be a free fix. I'll pay for it. The older women just keeps saying in a NASTY way "no, your taking it in perfect condition" I kept saying I understand, but what if it need a to be fixed ? her response was the same and nastier. If customers are asking you something, LEARN TO SPEAK IN A NICE WAY. Then when the owner apologized, I paid for my peice with the sales assistant and the lady comes over and lies to him saying that I can bring it back to fix. Are you kidding me?? Just a horrible experience with this women! There was a nice gentleman waiting for his fiance there and he even agreed that the way she was saying it was rude and would get anyone worried especially after spending that kind of money. If I knew how this was going to end up, I would have never walked in there in the first place. Id go somewhere else where they have better customer service skills. read more

This boutique is AMAZING. We were looking for a Galia Lahav style dress and found the perfect fabric. This customer service is INCREDIBLE. read more

Sposabella Lace - Yelise and Alice were jewels that helped us find the perfect fabric to create a dress in the Galia Lahav style. Excellent quality &service! - Bridal Near Me - New York, New York

Pricey but very much worth it, bought the lace here for my wedding gown. Quality is very good, the beads were sewn in by hand very wall that they don't fall apart even after a long active wedding party. Service is very good too, you can show them your sample photos and they will help you find a similar lace for it. read more

Sposabella Lace - The mesh beaded fabric & sparkle mesh underlayer was purchased from Sposabella! Turned out absolutely beautiful! - Bridal Near Me - New York, New York

Frank the owner is a nice guy and they have gorgeous lace but the other woman Alice who also runs the shop does not belong in customer service or retail. The woman will turn your joyful wedding dress experience into the worst day of your life. She will take every bit of joy and happiness out of your wedding dress experience and ruin it forever. I will never forget how unkind and rude she was not only to me but her assistants and other customers on the multiple occasions I visited the shop. I also speak Spanish but kept quiet and understood what terrible things she was saying about me right in front of me!! That is what you call an ignorant woman! There are several high quality lace shops in the garment district save yourself the abuse and go somewhere else. read more

Here are some pros about this store: * Dress or fabric for your dress, you decide! * They were featured on "Say Yes to the Dress" on 8/28/15 - I think that speaks to the quality that this store offers. * Unlike other stores that sell all sorts of fabrics for all sorts of clothing, this store is dedicated strictly to the bride, because the folks that run this store understands the importance of the bridal gown and its accessories. * Speaking of accessories, they also carry these gorgeous tiaras and beautiful veils. * Due to its reputation and quality of fabric, celebrities have shopped here - check their wall of fame to the left of the entrance when entering the store. * The folks working here are very welcoming and warm. Unparalleled customer service that you simply do not get in any other fabric store. * Now I'm not sure if he is a regular employee there, but there is a gentleman there named Carlos from the GG Couture New York Tailor Shop - he is an image adviser that sells tuxedos and suits. He seemed nice and professional, but I ended up not using him, as he is based out of the boroughs and it would be somewhat of a trek for me to reach him when needed. Some cons: It's not really a con - more of a tip when considering this store. Don't be fooled by the "$$" on this company's listing as you do get what you pay for. If you want the best fabric for your dress or the best dress a bride can have, expect to pay a little more. You're paying for quality of the fabric, the expertise that the employees provide, and the attention that they pay to you. My mom-in-law and my wife purchased fabric here 4 months ago and made my wife's wedding dress with that fabric! The dress came out stunning - seriously, the culmination of my mom-in-law's career displayed for all too see, and we thank Sposabella for a big part in that! Photos to follow! read more

As mentioned before, Sposabella is the best!!!! They are the furthest from prejudice and only treat their customers and anyone who walks into their store with the upmost respect and like family. My husband who is Nigerian and myself being Italian were very impressed with the quality of lace and even more so impressed with the fair and respectful treatment they gave us each and everytime we entered their store!! They made the most exceptional dress for me last year and we continue to have an amazing relationship with them to this day!! They made one of the most important days in our lives the most special by creating the exact dress that I wanted!! Frank and Alice have been and will continue to be special people in our lives:-) read more

Incredible experience and service. Was an absolute delight working with the entire Sposabella team. They made the wedding veil of my dreams and made the whole process so seamless. Highly recommend!! read more

Came in the store. Not even a how are you? Can I help you? Sadly they had my fabric. No customer service no purchase from me.

Its been about 5 years since I was married and I still think of how amazing and helpful everyone was at sposabella. I am and FIT design graduate so of course I made my own wedding dress, but wanted intricate swarovski beadwork panels made for my gown. Sposabella had someone make my amazing panels, and always kept me in the loop going back and forth with samples. I also bought the fabric for the gown from them and it arrived on my doorstep the next day along with a gorgeous crown fit for a princess.. I love sposabella lace, a true one of a kind experience read more

love love loved my veil for my wedding from sposabella! Staff is very friendly and helpful and they were very accommodating with my timeline and even had my veil ready earlier than expected! Highly recommend! read more

The rudest most unprofessional person I have ever met !!! Steer clear of this place!!! Overrated and overpriced. I wouldn't give this man two cents of my hard earned money. I made two trips to this place . Giving them the benefit of the doubt. Well I should have listened to my inner self when it told me not to go back. On the second trip I was yelled at and insulted. The guy is crazy. Don't waste your time to shop for anything in this store. I went because of the rave reviews on wedding wire and the Knot. They all must be his relatives writing the reviews. !! read more

This is by far the best lace fabric store in the whole are, i always come here and would recommend for anyone to come here hands down. the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They have served people like Britney Spears and Merryl Streep. And they were also the only lace store to ever be featured on the Wall Street Journal. http://www.wsj.com/articles/losing-a-longtime-place-for-lace-in-new-yorks-garment-district-1411780362 read more

This one is a toss-up for me. They have absolutely beautiful fabrics (in my opinion, they're the same as Mood fabrics, which is not a bad endorsement), and the owner seems to really care about and takes pride in his products. Customer service, however, was supremely lacking. My wedding dress seamstress recommended that I shop at Sposabella, and when I told her the fabrics were extremely expensive, she suggested that maybe Frank would help if I mentioned she had sent me. Not only was Frank not willing to budge even a penny (and we're talking extremely expensive fabric), he upsold me on how much I needed. He seems like a good guy but in my experience, I found him to be aggressive and somewhat lackadaisical to my needs. I wish I had the experience that other brides here have raved about. I suppose if you're only looking for great fabric and don't much care about customer service, this place is the right place for you. read more

Alice was extremely helpful in the process of finding the right lace for my veil. She responded to my email the next day and was able to find me a lace that almost exactly matched the lace on my dress, minus some beading. She was patient as I figured out how much I would need with my seamstress on the phone. The owner did not speak to me at all, but the rest of the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Will go back again for future fabric needs! read more

Sposabella Lace is the best of the best. I went in a couple of weeks ago looking for lace for my wedding dress and found exactly what I wanted. Frank is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to cater to his customers. The lace i chose was a better value than any of other places on the street. I recommend this place for bridal laces. read more

Sposabella definitely has the best and richest selection of laces in the city. I've went to so many places and couldn't find anything that looked so expensive! And their prices are great! The salespeople were so helpful! Thank you so much to Frank, Alice, and Mark! read more

Alice and her team were excellent. I walked out quite quickly with a wedding veil. There was a large selection and variety of veils and most of them were one of a kind. Make an appointment ahead of time by calling the store and bring photos of your dress. Highly recommend! read more

A real New York gem - hidden in the heart of the Garment District. This is one of those places you just hope still exist, and then find they do! Fabrics and laces that will take your breath away, friendly staff and a real caring attitude make Sposabella a must destination when planning a wedding or any special occasion. I went there with my daughter, looking for a wedding veil. Frank and Alice truly care about making a bride happy, not just making a sale. Carlos is wonderful and not only will show you and help you choose the perfect piece for your hair, but you can count on him for an honest opinion of what works and what doesn't. Their prices are super-competitive and I could not find anything close to their quality anywhere else in NYC. I recommend you make an appointment (not hard to get, easy to book via phone) and then go in and find your dream veil for your dream day. Thank you Frank, Alice and Carlos! read more

Shopping at there new location. Was a great experience. Very helpful staff with great ideas. I'm from Florida and came up to buy some samples for my clients to see. No one has a better selection of laces . I tried them all. read more

On two separate occasions I was very insulted from being in this shop. The first time the owner accosted me for not buying anything. Brides look in more than one store before they spend $500 on something, right? I decided to give it another shot. Then today I was looking at headpieces and was only given about 5 minutes in that special roped off area. I guess they did not like the way I was looking at the headpieces? I was checking for missing stones, to see the different shapes and cuts of the stones. Again, if I am being asked to pay $500 and up for something, wouldnt you like some time to examine it? I was asked to leave and to come back when I was "ready to buy something." I was ready to buy a headpiece... I was just pushed out before I had the time. I will not be returning there and would urge others to stay away as well. How can you treat customers like that? 3 people working there, one other customer in the store besides me? And I was ushered out?? Such a shame. No idea about customer service. I did in fact purchase a beautiful headpiece today from a different store, and they let me examine it for as long as I wanted. Stay away from here unless you like being treated like a little peon who isnt worthy of even looking at accessories through glass, forget about actually touching them or trying them on. Horrible experience. Not bride friendly at all. read more

Sposabella was amazing, Carlos was wonderful!! I went there to get fabric for my veil and not only did he help me pick the fabric, he also gave me lot's of tips on how to make the veil. I spent a little more than i had planned but it's absolutely worth it!. read more

Went In there looking for particular scalloped lace. Saw in window that they had sample sale currently going on for headpieces. When I inquired within, sales person was very rude and said they had nothing available, even though I could see them displayed in case behind the counter. Not one person came up to me to help. Each person I went up to for help said they had nothing for me. Maybe because I'm black and did not have an exact wedding date or price budget to give them, they assumed I could not afford anything. Little do they know I work in industry and can make anything they have there myself. Will not recommend this store to any woman of color since they discriminate. So disappointed. read more

i love the assistance of vadim when i come in to store he is so helpful

Sposabella made my custom veil for my wedding in October 2016. Alice is an absolute veil master. She knows more about lace and veils than I knew there was to know! After seeing one picture of my dress and a description of what I thought I wanted, she told me exactly what I needed and why her recommendation was better than what I was suggesting - and she was absolutely correct! She is incredibly sweet and patient. Throughout a few visits, she had the lace pinned to the veil so we could make changes at the trial visit before finalization. She told me how to care for the veil for the big day. Alice also provided my hand made pearl hair comb for the wedding. Everything in dealing with Sposabella was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend you consider a custom veil with Sposabella! The price range is not much higher than pre made veils at retail stores - and how much better to get something custom designed for you and your dress!! Highly recommend! PS - the shop is closed on Sundays. read more
