    Bustle from the back
    Mbv M.

    Cash only don't forget! But Nancy is wonderful and does great work! I wish I had found her before doing half of my alteration at the boutique. I would have probably saved half of what I spent on alterations. She did so great on my rush hem and bustle, the quality of the work and timing was perfect and I had a dress ready a week before my wedding day.

    Nancy made sure that my dress was very fitted. She really hates any wrinkling of the fabric, :)

    Nancy is a best kept secret when it comes to wedding dress alternations. She is a very sweet and honest when giving her opinions on what type of alternation would look best. Her attention to detail is a rare gift! I'd brought in my wedding dress about two months before the wedding for the following alterations: hemming the skirt, shortening of the shoulder, tightening the waist, and adding a belt. Nancy did a wonderful job, and her prices are very competitive (especially for the area)! I would highly recommend her work, :) TIP #1: Call ahead of time to make sure she is at her shop before coming in. Parking is a pain in that area, so make sure your trip is not in vain! TIP #2: She only takes cash, so make sure you have enough when picking up your dress.

    This was the only bridal appointment I had that charged a fee, so I honestly expected the…read moreexperience to be exceptional. Unfortunately, it was by FAR my worst bridal appointment. I was greeted nicely when I arrived, and I filled out a form about my style and what I was looking for. We discussed that for a while, which was fine, although the conversation didn't feel particularly fluid. I also want to acknowledge that the consultant helping me was nice. However, I don't know a lot about specific dress styles, fabrics, or materials, so I found the continuous questions about exactly what I wanted to be difficult. I often genuinely didn't know the answer, but I felt like I was expected to have a more specific answer. I was shown which styles were on each rack and then selected four dresses to try on. What really surprised me was that after I selected those dresses, no additional dresses were brought to me and I wasn't really given suggestions based on what I had chosen. I was essentially left to choose what I wanted from the racks myself. Unfortunately, the condition of many of the dresses was also very disappointing. I did see some dresses that appeared to be in good condition, so I don't want to imply that every dress in the store was damaged. However, the dresses that were closest to my style were the ones that seemed particularly worn, torn, yellowed/oxidized, or otherwise in poor condition. Some appeared visibly damaged. One of the dresses I tried on even had broken straps, so I was literally having to hold it up while wearing it because it wasn't staying in place properly. The fitting process was also extremely slow. It felt like it took roughly three times as long as any other bridal store I visited for each dress to be clipped and fitted in the back before I could come out of the dressing room. At one point, the dresses I had already tried on were left on the floor of the dressing room, and they weren't being picked up until I eventually couldn't stand the dressing room. By the time about an hour had passed, I felt like I had barely gotten through two dresses. The overall appointment was also very question-heavy, which became stressful for me. I have a hard time speaking up when I'm uncomfortable, and instead of feeling excited and helped throughout the appointment, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and anxious. The experience became so stressful and disappointing that I ended up leaving the appointment early rather than continuing through the rest of the appointment. Bridal dress shopping is supposed to be a fun and memorable experience, and unfortunately this one was neither for me. I was also surprised by the overall level of professionalism. The consultant assisting me was wearing a tube top, slides, and socks. I understand that dress codes vary, but given that this is a bridal boutique where brides are coming in prepared to potentially spend thousands of dollars, I expected a more polished and professional presentation. After the appointment, I contacted the boutique because I genuinely felt that the experience was unacceptable, particularly considering that I had paid an appointment fee. They agreed to refund my $19 fee, which I appreciated. However, four days later, I still have not received the refund or an update despite following up. I understand 4 days is not long, but I also feel that it says a lot when a bride takes the time to explain how upsetting and disappointing her appointment was, the boutique agrees to make it right, and then fails to respond to 3 follow ups. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously. In my opinion, the boutique needs better employee training and a much closer look at the condition and selection of the dresses being offered. Broken, torn, heavily worn, and yellowed dresses should not be what a bride encounters when paying for a bridal appointment. I left feeling stressed and disappointed rather than excited about finding my wedding dress, so unfortunately I would recommend going anywhere but here.

    Toni Tadsse 1 star…read moreWinnie Couture - Houston, TX I was genuinely thrilled to choose Winnie Couture for my wedding dress. I even paid extra to expedite it to ensure everything arrived on time. After months of anticipation, I showed up on dress pick-up day--only to find that the dress was two sizes too big. I hadn't lost any weight, and I later learned that the size ordered was actually the smallest size on the recommended scale for my measurements. It was clear that Gia, the bridal consultant, measured me incorrectly from the beginning. This was incredibly disappointing--especially so close to my big day. I immediately left and took my dress to Wedding Gown Alterations by John, where they had to take in 4 inches at the waist just to make the dress wearable. The total cost of alterations came to $1,200, on top of what had already paid for the gown. This is not the experience or service I expected from a high-end boutique. I'm sharing this review so that other brides don't go through the same emotional stress I did. Double-check your measurements and confirm every detail--don't rely on the boutique's reputation alone.

I came to browse a sample sale (dresses that weren't going to make it to their collection next season are sold for about half the price, sold as is / no alterations) where the entire building was bustling with tons of brides, family, and swishing dresses, but you can book a traditional appointment where one can enjoy a more relaxed and private experience. Their stock of dresses is quite large, as it took a while to just walk around all the rooms with the dresses before pulling them off the rack to look. The sample sale appointment is one hour, and I walked out with my wedding dress at the end of it! For the sample sale, we met with the bridal consultant (Victoria was amazing!) and then I received 5 clothes pins to mark which dresses I was interested while I made a walk through the dress area. She pulled those dresses, brought them to our designated fitting area (there's a sofa for family or friends to sit and watch), and helped me into the dresses. Since the sample sale didn't have my exact size, she used clips to cinch the excess fabric in the back, and that worked well to see what the dress would look like if tailored to my size. You can do as many rounds as you like as time permits. Once I chose the dress, the part that really brought it together for me was putting on a veil :) When checking out, they gave a list of recommended tailors, and luckily some of them are in the loop! The staff here were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Victoria was my amazing bridal consultant; she was friendly, encouraging, patient, and not pushy at all. She was easy to talk to and really made the experience amazing! Ashley was tagging along with Victoria and gave some helpful opinions about dress styles, and the other consultants walking by would cheer. The only thing I would dock a star for would be that I had some questions to ask Victoria after she left to meet her next appointment, and the front desk team told me she would ask Victoria to call me back. I never got a call and had to call twice to ask for her to contact me (by the time she texted me, it was several days later, and I'm pretty sure she forgot who I was / what dress details I had questions about). Overall, a happy place! They even have a metal lock you can personalize and add to their growing collection of successful dress matches + a floral backdrop to take photos. I imagine personalized appointments are a lot slower paced and relaxed. Be sure to bring your strapless bra and skin colored undies to your appointment! I'm glad I chose Whittington Bridal as the first spot to look for dresses-- it was super efficient and a lovely experience :)

They told me that the $300 off promotion for the trunk show would last through the weekend (Saturday). So of course, the manager said she could hold it for Friday for my mom to come in person to see it. Suddenly, they switched up on what they said and told me the $300 promotion is only for the first bridal appointment and they cannot hold it. I confronted the manager, and asked her why she was dishonest and inconsistent. She had no words. I took off the dress and left. I will never do business with dishonest people, and this store and their employees were definitely just that. At least I found my dress, hopefully I'll encounter a bridal shop that can order it for me.

    My niece was running out of time finding a prom dress. We went to a couple of stores in Harwin…read morearea. Couldn't find anything only bridal dresses. A store owner told us about this place that was not too far. I think we first went into the wrong place there a two stores that have doors right next to each other. The first place, the girl helping wouldn't leave our side but not in a helpful way. The place was to cramped and not enough room to move around. We saw a dress we liked and she gave us a huge discount but the price was still high. The shop girl first said we could order it but then came back and said it was sold out. We also weren't allowed to take pictures. I don't know why, we had seen so many dresses it gets confusing with slit, no slit, backless, halter, short and long dresses. We felt rushed and didn't see a lot of variety of prom dresses. FN Formals We decided to pass and my nieces size was sold out. We literally went next door and the first thing we noticed is all the dresses they have hanging on the wall with a number. You see a dress you like, get the number, locate on the numbered racks and find your size. It's all self serve. If you don't find your size they will help you find it. We were allowed to try on as many as we wanted. The girls working there were so helpful and not pushy. We didn't feel rushed and were allowed to take pictures. We actually had fun seeing everyone come out in their dresses. It was a good experience. They have two mirrors in the fitting room and in front of store. My niece found what she was looking for and the price was perfect $130. I don't remember what the other dresses were going for we tried on. We went during the week on Monday and it wasn't that busy. I'm sure it gets crazy on the weekends. I think they close at 6:30pm but call to confirm but we got there around 4 or 4:30. They had wedding dresses there too that are beautiful. For a young bride on a budget. Some tips. Bring a pair of heels to get an idea of what the dress will look with heels. If you plan on wearing certain under garments or stockings bring or come with it on. Some of the dresses have lots of sequins and can snag and get caught on things. Also some dresses have spaghetti straps, halter or strapless. You want to have the right bra on to see how it will look with the dress. All sales are final. Try to go during the week if you can to be in and out of the fitting room. I think they have 6 or 8 fitting rooms but with so many dresses to try on I can see how you could have to wait for a fitting room. During the weekend they could do things differently to try on dresses and get ppl in and out of the fitting room. Again I was there on a Monday around 4pm. My niece is 18 and this dress is for her high school prom. If you don't see the dresses on the wall with a number to locate yourself on the racks, you are at the wrong store.

They will help you find a dress in the color you want and also help you when trying them on. They take the dresses off the hangers and rehang when you are done.

We were not able to find a dress here but maybe next time! The staff are very so helpful. Tons to choose from.
