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.

None of the dresses have labels which tells me they were either removed or they are making copycat dresses of expensive brands and selling them at the higher price. I spent too much on a dress because I was just frustrated by the trying on process at many stores. Try this store or the prom store in the old Franklin Mills, or Jan's in Cherry Hill NJ.

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!

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.

I'm sharing my experience in the hope that no other bride will have to go through the heartbreak…read moreand stress I endured. If you're considering trusting Oleksandra's Fashion Studio with your wedding dress, please, don't. What should have been one of the most exciting parts of my wedding planning became an absolute nightmare. For four months, Oleksandra reassured me that the dress would be exactly as I had requested, with no indication of any potential issues. She confidently promised that it would look just like the pictures I provided, addressing all my concerns with certainty. However, at the final fitting, she abruptly admitted that the dress I wanted was not possible to make. This came as a complete shock, as there had been no prior warnings or disclaimers. Until that moment, I was only met with reassurance that everything was on track, yet she failed to deliver on her promise. Let me be clear: design choices were discussed upfront. I asked all the right questions, and she reassured me over and over that the dress would be exactly what I wanted. I also want to add that I never asked for any discounts or tried to bargain throughout this process. My only concern was that Oleksandra could make the dress I wanted. There were no misunderstandings, no miscommunications--just broken promises. Oleksandra's behavior was wildly unprofessional and emotionally abusive. She constantly shifted between being overly polite and aggressive, gaslighting me throughout the process. When I raised concerns about the dress not matching what I had ordered, she would praise her work and claim everything was perfect. The moment I pressed further, she began yelling, blaming me for every issue--from my choice of shoes to my weight, despite us discussing these details from the start. She even went as far as calling me an ungrateful liar, refusing to take any responsibility for her mistakes. Her erratic behavior left me feeling cornered and manipulated. Oleksandra consistently rescheduled fittings at the very last minute, never once offering an apology. This pattern of delay felt intentional, as if she was purposely stalling to leave me with no time or alternative just before the wedding. It's hard not to feel that this tactic was used to corner me, forcing me to accept a dress I didn't want when I had no other options left. Oleksandra's Fashion Studio didn't just fail to deliver the dress I ordered--she delivered something that was poorly made and treated me with disrespect along the way. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. Your wedding dress should be a source of joy, not frustration and heartbreak. When it came to the issue of the money, Oleksandra refused to take responsibility for the dress she never delivered. Despite my polite requests for a refund, she became increasingly aggressive, giving me excuse after excuse. In one particularly wild phone call, she claimed she couldn't return the money because she had already spent it on "business expenses" and simply didn't have it anymore. She had no intention of making things right until I mentioned the possibility of filing a dispute with my bank. It was only after hearing the word "dispute" that she reluctantly agreed to a partial refund, further highlighting her lack of professionalism and accountability. From the first meeting, when there were less than six months until the wedding, almost four months passed before the final fitting, where everything escalated. With just over two months until my wedding, I was left without a dress. Now, seven months later, the issue is still ongoing with a dispute over the remaining refund. If you're a bride who values your time, your money, and your peace of mind--don't take the risk. You deserve so much better than what Oleksandra can offer.

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.

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.
