Mr. Santos Fashion Design - The custom wedding dress that was made for me by Mr. Santos.

Mr. Santos is wonderful for renting tuxes and tails! He had to move recently to a location that…read moredoes not have street traffic. I would love everyone to know where he is now on Welch just west of Shepherd. Our two sons and my husband rented for a last minute formal we went to Thanksgiving weekend. Mr. Santos was diligent and earnest and very nice. Everything came in on time and he was super communicative for us to not miss a pick up or a fitting. I recommend him highly!

Mr. Santos does come off as a sweet man, but a lot of the things he says becomes very repetitious…read morewhere I literally just want to get the hell out of there. He means well I am sure, but he comes off almost like a con artist with not answering what is being asked, and going around the question. He can be professional... yet unprofessional in my case, and I do feel a certain way with how this gentleman handles his business. He withheld my property for over 7 months without giving me an update on anything. I came to this man on November 27, 2017 to take in my wedding dress which I bought used, so it was slightly loose on me. He never gave me a set date on when he would finish the dress, but told me he has a wedding for May, and then prom season, so he will not start on my dress right away. That already sounded discouraging, however I trusted that he would work on it but by bit, to get my dress finished sooner than anticipated. I was needing it by at least March for a photo shoot. Every month or two I would call to ask for an update and he assured me that it was in good hands, however I never asked if it was safe. I asked for an UPDATE. I also had a photo shoot scheduled for March 23, 2018. I informed Mr. Santos, however he convinced me that he would not be done in time due to prom season. Prom season or not, had I told him my wedding was in March, April, or May, he would have met my deadline. He continued to go in circles with me and I was so sick of it. Come the month of May and I am getting anxious and frustrated with this man. Gave him a call and he states the same things he's said before! "I had other brides and I just finished with prom season. Some girls did not even pick up their gowns!" Well maybe if you did not take so long, nor gave people the runaround, people would have taken you more seriously. I decided enough was enough, and came in for a surprise visit after 3 days of just speaking to him for an update. Actually I called him to tell him I would rather get a refund for the deposit I put down, and taking it to someone else to meet my needs faster! He refused to give me my dress and said he would do as promised. He asked to give him until the end of July. HELL NO! I had to lie and said my photo shoot was scheduled for end of June in order to get my dress ASAP. Surprised him one morning as he opened shop. He kinda jumped up and told me my dress is currently being worked on. I said okay, I would like to see it. Walked into the room, and there it was... JUST STARTED TO BE WORKED ON AFTER SPEAKING VIA PHONE 3 days ago. Tell me... WTF HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS WITH MY DRESS?! I COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANY REPUTABLE ALTERATIONS PERSON AND GOT IT DONE FASTER & CHEAPER! June 21, 2018: I finally get to pick up my damn dress. This guy quoted me $850 initially, and requested another $100 due to the "extensive" work he has done. The only f-ing extensive work he's done is getting it done in less than 2 weeks because I threaten to take my dress back, also calling the credit card company due to not meeting service of request. Even the credit card company stated 7 months is just too damn long! In total, he charged me $920 for the work of taking in my dress, and cleaning up the mermaid bottom tule (finding the bustles). Honestly I could have taken my dress to a different person for cheaper and the same type of work. I still have freaking clothes pins hanging from the bottoms tules. This man can talk your ear off and become so repetitive with everything he states. I honestly just wanted to kill myself in his presence. JUST GIVE ME MY DAMN DRESS ALREADY! Con artist who over charges and withheld my property for over 7 months! I can honestly say, WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! STAY THE HELL AWAY!

Parking -easy, there's a garage and lots of other shopping & eateries, even a spa. We need a place like this for women.

Then I went to their shop on Westheimer (Houston) just this past Saturday to check them out, speak with someone and see if I could get my design made. I walked into the store and no one said hi or welcome. And yes, there were several employees walking around and/or chatting with each other. I went around the store... got to the 40R section... hung around there and tried on jackets/suit tops for about 15/20 minutes. They saw me, passed by me... said not one word to me and not one asked if I needed help. I wore a grey t-shirt and Crocs. Maybe I looked like couldn't afford a suit? I left after about 20 minutes and not one rep said a word to me. Wow! What a way to attract customers.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Ivory Bridal Atelier, especially my…read moreamazing consultant, Sydney! I went into my appointment with four dresses I had picked out myself, and Sydney selected six additional gowns based on our conversation. Little did I know that one of her selections would turn out to be the dress of my dreams! What impressed me most was how well Sydney listened and truly understood my vision. She took the time to learn about my wedding venue, the look I wanted to achieve, and the overall feeling I was hoping for on my wedding day. She picked up on my personality and style almost immediately and knew what I was looking for, even when I wasn't quite sure how to describe it myself. Sydney was genuinely invested in helping me find the one. She was patient, attentive, encouraging, and determined to make sure I walked away feeling absolutely beautiful. She made the entire experience enjoyable, personal, and memorable. Thanks to Sydney, I found a dress I absolutely fell in love with, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I wholeheartedly recommend Sydney to any bride searching for her dream wedding dress. She has an incredible eye for style, a gift for understanding her brides, and a genuine passion for what she does. Thank you, Sydney, for helping me find the perfect dress and making such a special moment even more unforgettable!

Although I didn't say yes to a dress at my initial appointment, I found my dream dress later that day. Patricia went out of her way to squeeze us into her busy schedule the following day so I could try it on. Even during our shorter appointment, she ensured I got the full bridal experience, complete with all the accessories. Thanks to her, I said yes to my dream dress! I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Her expertise and years of experience are evident in her exceptional work. My sister and I both brought our wedding gowns to her for alteration and were so impressed with the entire process and end result. We are both petite and our gowns required more than just a hem. She was able to figure out how to alter the gowns so they looked like they were made for us! She also went above and beyond to design a bow for my gown-which I wasn't sure was possible given that I didn't have the original fabric of the gown and wasn't sure if I could get it in time. She quickly came up with a design (and even had the fabric for it) that worked beautifully! The bow was also much less expensive than what the designer quoted me! I wouldn't go anywhere else in Houston for wedding gown alterations and design!

The consultants at the bridal boutique assured me that Jenny had a lot of experience working with the material of my dress. I trusted them and made an appointment about 2 months before my wedding date. From day 1, Jenny was so helpful and honest. I felt comfortable asking her questions about the dress and even the "undergarments" to wear under the dress. She did an amazing job fitting the dress to my body and I could not be more pleased with the job that she did for me. Thank you Jenny!
