    Wedding dress

    Luana at The Wedding Plaza made my experience seamless! It was the first time I was trying on dresses so I didn't expect to buy one. I fell in love with one that was a bit too small and she found me an even better dress. The whole process was no frills, down to earth unpretentious dress shopping. She let my bridesmaids help pick dresses off the rack. Ultimately she found my dress and she and the owner worked with me on my tight budget. I felt so special on my wedding day!

    By the time I got to The Wedding Plaza- I was entirely over the wedding dress shopping experience. I had been to 4 other shops and had the same experience each time- I had to articulate my style and wedding vision to sales people who never quite understood what I was looking for. I was limited to what they wanted to pull for me, and appointments usually only being a hour meant I was at their whim. Enter The Wedding Plaza. But before I begin- I've got to admit that "mother is always right". My future grandmother-in-law kept raving about The Wedding Plaza. "You have to make an appointment!" she would always say to me. She had purchased a dress from them last year and had a wonderful experience. It wasn't that I didn't want to listen to her- just that sometimes you have to venture out on your own before you finally start listening to good advice. So I finally made my appointment, and actually felt a little bit excited that morning. Call it kismet. I was interested in trying on a variety of dresses in general, but I contacted them about one particular dress- which they confirmed for me via email that they did have in stock. We were greeted by 3 generations of women running the store- grandmother, mother and daughters- all diligently working with each other. This alone made me happy to see! But here's the best part: I got to browse the store and choose my own dresses to try on. No more trying to describe what "fairy tale realness" means! No more disappointing a sales girl when I say I don't like what she picked! I was immediately renewed with a sense of hope and excitement. There's a decent plus size section- so there were plenty of dresses for me to zip and clip onto my body. And I was still able to grab lots of dresses from the standard size section and hold up to my body, or in some cases at least fit the bottom half on. It finally felt like I was personally shopping for my wedding dress! Luana and Carmela were so awesome helping me into dresses and giving their thoughts- never being pushy- which was so refreshing. Everyone there felt like family. It was truly an entirely different experience from everywhere else I went! On top of all of this- their deposit/ordering policy is lower than anywhere else I went! All the other stores I visited wanted the full cost of the dress up front. Currently (saying that in case their policy ever changes)- they only ask for 50% down. This made it possible for me to order my dream dress and I'm forever grateful! Plus their cap on wedding dress alterations being lower than anywhere else I've been (it's somewhere around $650, I can't remember the exact number). I've also heard from multiple people that their alterations department does great work. Considering all of the above- it felt like a no brainer to order from here. So, I said "yes to dress" and got to ring the bell! They then played "Going To The Chapel" on the store music speakers, as I tried to hold back happy tears. Absolute A+++ experience! They also do tuxedos, mother of the bride dresses, and flower girl dresses- all of which I will be coming back for. And bridesmaid dresses too!

    After $55 alterations on a $230 dress, the dress still did not fit well. Check out the unattractive armpit bunching. :(

    Since my original review, I've had 1 phone interaction with The Wedding Plaza, and returned 2x for dress fittings and alterations. Upon reading my original review, a sales rep named Lisa called to offer an apology for my experience and address my concerns. She reassured me of the reasons why the dress size ordered for me was what it was, and that if it didn't fit, alterations would be free of charge. I was very impressed with the customer service and professionalism. When my dress came in, I called to schedule an appointment for my 1st fitting. Getting someone on the phone was a little difficult (the calls kept going to voicemail), but once I did, making an evening appointment after work was easy. When I went back in, the salesperson I worked with was very friendly and helpful. As for the dress, I was bummed to see that the brand new dress already had imperfections on it where the tulle had snagged on the sequins. I'm happy to say, however, my initial concerns about the size were wrong; the dress was actually too small and had to be let out. To let out the seams near the bust and shoulders cost $55, which seems high, but they explained this was because the material was tricky. I was peeved to find out the balance for the dress was due in cash, which I had not been previously informed of, but it wasn't a huge deal. A few days later, I called again to schedule a 2nd dress fitting. I had even more trouble this time getting someone on the phone, but again, once I did, scheduling an appointment was painless. When I went back for my fitting post-alterations, the dress fit much better, but the seamstresses were careless with the dress, causing even more snagging of the tulle by the sequins. When the seamstress, Carmela, brought out my dress after hemming it, I saw that it had snagged in 3 different spots. I pointed it out to her, to which she responded, "Yeah, you have to be careful, but it's also gonna do this all day when you wear it." It felt very dismissive. As a professional who works with delicate dresses day in and day out, I would expect that she'd know how to handle materials like tulle to prevent snagging. I tried on the dress one last time, then they took it for pressing. We went upstairs to the cashier to pay for the alterations, also due in cash, and someone brought the dress up to us. We checked the dress out, and there were still wrinkles in the dress, but we figured it was just the material. On our way out, the seamstress who was working with Carmela comes back up to "make sure I was happy" with the dress, likely because word had gotten around about my previous less-than-glowing review. I pointed out the wrinkles, and she said she could press the dress again. After the second press, it looked slightly better, but still imperfect. Overall, my experience definitely improved from the one I described in my original review, but they still failed to wow me. In discussing with the other 5 bridesmaids in our group, the consensus was that most of us did not have a great experience here.

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

Head tailor Juan Cuello is exceptionally skilled and relentlessly professional--he simply won't stop until the fit is perfect. Over the past six years, I've brought him around a dozen off-the-rack suits, and he has consistently transformed them to look and feel like high-end made-to-measure pieces. The difference in drape, balance, and overall silhouette is remarkable. I've used other tailors for alterations, but none come close to Juan's level of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in every finished garment. Juan is truly one of a kind.

Fabulous service as always. **** Dry cleaning of jackets, coats and sweater lost. Tried reaching them via the phone (646-415-7667), email, and online request form. No response whatsoever. Went to their listed physical address at 730 Columbus Ave., it turns out to be a liquor store and an apartment building. Neither of them is aware of fancy pants cleaners. It makes me wonder if they are still open for business. To be fair, I have been using their services for 2 years now and this is the first time I really had to contact them for something lost. They have been awesome otherwise, except the lack of responsiveness this time. I will update this review when I manage to reach someone who works there.

They are super convenient and offer excellent value -- cheaper than the nearby cleaners in every neighborhood I've used them so far (Harlem, Morningside Heights, and now FiDi). Not quite as cheap as a place in El Barrio I used to frequent, but that place was also cash only, and of course did not offer pickup / delivery service. Like any service, Fancy Pants is not perfect. Over the years I've had: * One pair of custom wool suit trousers completely ruined. Looks like it was put thru the wash on high heat; came back scratchy and 4 inches shorter. After sending it back for examination, we settled on $100 store credit toward future orders. * High end flannel shirts lost their brushed luster after just 1-2 washes. I suspect they did not follow my special instructions, but instead machine dried them with the rest of the normal cotton shirts. I did not complain, simply opting to hand wash such items myself from then on...IMO, it's best to leave the "special instructions" section to stain treatment & dry cleaning, rather than freeform requests. * Twice, an entire load of W&F was swapped with someone else's. Both times, they called me promptly (before I had even discovered it!) and exchanged the bag asap. * A few misc items that don't belong to me have appeared in my W&F. Nothing serious, just the occasional sock or panty. The one time it was multiple items in the same wash, I emailed them a photo, which they promptly identified and picked up within the hour. All in all, I'd call this above average. Notably, I've never lost a button off any of my shirts or jackets, nor had a sleeve or collar ripped -- usually those symptoms are par for the course with automated press machines over the long haul, unless you pay $5+ for your shirts to be hand finished, which I do not. Nor have I had any permanent stains, nor had dyes bleeding to/from other garments. Occasionally, it takes more than 1 email or voicemail to get Veronica's attention, but once we're in touch they are quite responsive. I'm happy to be an ongoing customer.
