The ladies at Bride N Belle are such a delight! The store is filled with positive energy, and they…read moregave great advice while constantly hyping me up every time I tried on my dress. I was able to find my perfect dress easily within my budget, as they offer a great range of price points. A special shoutout to their seamstress; she did a phenomenal job with my dress's sleek silhouette by bustling the train underneath to preserve the clean line. My only note for future brides is regarding scheduling communication: I bought my dress in March for an October wedding and tried to schedule fittings in the spring, but was told to call closer to the date. When I called in August, there was sudden urgency to cram in all the fittings, which left me a bit unsure about the timeline. Ultimately, everything worked out, and I truly loved my gown!

We booked an appointment here during an extended visit I made to Boston because my MOH had heard…read moregood things from a couple of folks. We had a few appointments and I had a couple of plans with family and friends as well in a short time. This must vary based on who you get so YMMV but my experience was incredibly frustrating and a nightmare. Negative customer science and I cannot recommend this place as it seems the issues extend beyond the reported seamstress issues. Come if you like to be hot, thirsty, and frustrated while shopping for something that will cost a couple thousand dollars. *** My friend made a few different appointments for me. Some sort of glitch must have happened but only for this shop and none of the other shops. The appointment booked in PT time zone not ET and because it's in Boston... we all only looked at the confirmation and reminder that said 11am. My friend had noticed the time of 11am but that it seemed like the store opened at noon the night before so it was too late to call to check so we got up early after a late night to head over since it was almost an hour away and I'm definitely not a morning person on a weekend. Of course, we get there and it's closed and I call the number on the front door sign and leave a voicemail. We go on a side quest and come back half an hour late hoping to catch someone and stay for awhile before leaving. No luck. We head off for lunch with a friend and I call again around 1230 to figure out what's going on. Voicemail. A bit later they call back and say got your voicemail and don't know but you're not in our book at all for today and the tone was pointed. What? At this point, I'm incredibly frustrated. No apologies to say hey clearly there is a glitch but let's figure it out. Instead, a terse we don't have you in our book at all. Awkward pause. Do you still want to come? Internally, no but I am in need of a dress so I ask what times are available. It was like pulling teeth. She seemed so annoyed and asked me what time I want to come. We eventually schedule an appointment but I already had a bad taste. I drive back an hour from another commitment and arrive a few minutes late. She doesn't even greet me initially. My friend is there and greets me and catches me up that she's been looking at dresses for me to help get me started. She's great. I don't want to be here at this point especially since it felt as if our person was also standoffish. She finally introduces herself but throughout the visit I cannot help but compare her with the other employee helping another bride's mother. The other woman was friendly, encouraging, and had a few suggestions. My experience did not feel friendly. She helped me in and out of a few dresses but did not seem to understand what I was looking for. I didn't find too many things of interest but don't really hold inventory against stores because it can be pretty variable and unpredictable as to what comes in and what gets scooped up by others. During this process though, another bride comes in. She tries dresses on and was directed to stand on podium we were using so I was standing there waiting while I'm not sure what our person was doing. Did they overbook? In any case, the other woman noticed and offers the other bride's podium for us to see how the dress looks. Our person later suggests I can look through what's on the rack so I start flipping through. At this point, she decides to try to engage me in the time issue. I haven't even raised this with her because I'm just trying to sort out my existing frustration that's been further amplified because the place is hot with no air flow. I'm thirsty, tired, and frustrated. She now states that the time issue wasn't on their side as they had us down for a different time. Wtf. Earlier she told us we weren't even in the book. We figure out the time zone issue and she even says I'm not trying to argue with you but it's not on our side. Lol. I've had enough at this point so I say I don't think it's worth is discussing this at this point. I then stop flipping through the dresses and look at my friend and we leave. Wedding dress shopping is supposed to be fun. You're supposed to feel excited and supported not attacked. It's pointless trying to argue with someone who is not trying to solve something with you but trying to blame you. How hard would it have been to say hey clearly something went wrong and let's figure it out together? Anyways, terrible experience. Never coming back. Not recommended. Have been to 4 other places and they were all pleasant to visit even with varying levels of hospitality. Tulle is a place that does it right. I also liked Marry and Tux. They all reached out ahead of time to personally confirm the appointment, ask about vision to start brainstorming on dress matches, and were super friendly. These other places also felt cleaner and nicer.

And, I…read morehad no idea that I'd be supported by a very thoughtful, kind, and patient person no other than Taty! At the start of the appointment, five of the dresses I wished to try on were pulled and placed into my fitting room. From there, Taty was able to make informed decisions to pull more dresses that catered to my vision. She helped me into the dress, clipped to my body, and even held my train and walked me to the podium. I also appreciated her expertise to help add a belt embellishment or veil to tie the dress together. Each dress was better than the next!! Not only were the dresses beautiful with a wide variety of options and variances, but they were so affordable! Everything shown was in my price range and I was even happily surprised that some dresses I tried on were On Sale. Angela's Bridal has great selection and value, with the added bonus of Off the Rack options! I give it a 10/10 for dress selection in the store! I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and experience. The shop also offers Quinceanera dresses, mother of the bride dresses, and bridesmaid dresses. There is also a lot with plenty of parking too.

Happily Jo Karen seems to be committed to finding lingerie for ALL women. I am happy to say that even at my age (67) I finally found a bra that is perfect - comfortable and perfectly proportioned for my frame. While I came to this shop for a bra - I left with many other items that I found would fit - slips, panties, etc. I also have ordered some of these items in other colors which they are happy to do by phone. I never thought shopping for underwear would be enjoyable. I was wrong. Thank you Brooke. If you are insecure about lingerie shopping, this place will change you.

Even after first nice sales person told her I was waiting. Was given a bra that didn't fit, at all. Person supposed to take care of my appt continued to other dressing room to 2nd customer while I as trying one on. Think because I showed up in jeans and tee, not dressed up, she didn't realize was about to drop cashola to get right products. First sales person tried to convince me to stay (she was very nice), but, was miffed how 2nd sales person supposed to help with my first time ever appt, didn't handle. Won't waste time going back. Didn't mind waiting a few minutes, but being ignored, didn't make good impression, especially when ready to make investment.

Her collection is beautiful - my husband was very impressed with the quality of her sarees, and I received countless compliments on my attire and bangles from family, friends and strangers! It was a gorgeous wedding, and in a "sea of beautiful sarees" her (my!) saree was a standout. If you're looking for a wonderful selection of beautiful fabrics and original designs, Choonri Collection will not disappoint. No need to shop around - Seema Kapoor's designs stand head and shoulders above all the others. I look forward to my next visit.
