If you are looking for a dream wedding gown or to stand out in a crowd, you want to reach out to Ms. Gwen. I met Ms. Gwen in 201. I needed items made from scratch; she not only fulfilled my obligation, she put her spin on it as well. I'm not one to write a review and I'm not forced or being paid for my two cents but, I am speaking on ethics and facts! Gwen's Bridal Boutique is not just a bridal store like in the 90's, this is a full retail couture store where you can find almost anything fashionable. Sports Diva/Designer

They have the most chic and fashionable items and then there's the dresses and hats. They're another level everyone. I bought an amazing coat/jacket and it's my go-to item for the season in Ohio. I know for their dresses they offer free alterations so that's extremely valuable and what a great service? They also offer gift wrapping in store which really and truly helps with half the battle when buying gifts I think.

I always ship home (it saves tax and my suitcases don't get overloaded) and when the box arrives it feels like Christmas morning. Yes, there are expensive things, but there are also very reasonable pieces. And her stock is unique...and there is plenty of it. One of these days I'm actually going to buy a ball gown here. As a bonus, she will measure you and make a dress to your own measurements. She has St. John knit fabrics she purchased when St. John was sold and changed their focus. I asked how long it would take to get my new dress, and she said about 2 weeks. I can hardly wait.

The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps. Next year I'm going to really do up my Mardi Gras costume and I'm going to get some higher end fabric and this is where I'm coming!

I even created an on-line account so I could shop the on-line store. I didn't even find shoes. NO SHOES!?! What is the world coming to? So eff that. I'm not even going to look at your stupid online business if you don't have shoes. The shoes you have in your brick and mortar stores are super cute. Can you tell how distraught I am? I'll have a cup of tea, do some yoga, maybe some breathing exercises, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Meanwhile, I'm still pining for those lovely orange platforms. I will always love you orange platform shoes that got away.

Quick turnaround too. I have been using Missy and Hahn's services for years. Costume alterations, formal dress alterations, adding appliqués or beading, sewing and everything in between. Some work was planned well in advance, other items were brought in on tight --- can you fix this in 36-48 hour type timelines. In each instance, I've been accommodated and EXTREMELY pleased with the final product. Sewn items don't look like they were "made" and that certainly is worth its weight in platinum. Most recently, I used their services for alterations for my dress, alterations and embellishments to a jumpsuit and to hem my Dad's tuxedo. Having Hahn take on these key items allowed me to focus on all the other things because I know it would be just as I wanted - the first time and ready when she said it would be. I picked the items up and didn't even try them on right away because I trust D & D just that much! It's Grade A+ every time! Appointments can be scheduled online or by phone, walk ins are accepted as well. Pricing is what you'd expect given their reputation and clientele and some times the alterations cost more than the dress/pants, but in my book--- it's worth every cent.
