I stumbled upon Susan Perrone by sheer luck - only I didn't know it at the time. A colleague had…read morerecommended her and since I was clueless about anything-wedding I decided it would be good choice. My dress had arrived late (I ordered from a different place) - 6 weeks before my wedding but Susan was able to fit me in her schedule and get started on alterations right away. My dress was strapless but I felt the need to have my shoulders covered in church and she was able to add sleeves made from tulle that were removable! These straps made my dress feel complete, and I was so happy to have something unique about my dress. My bustle was GORGEOUS she had included I believe 7 bustle buttons - and my very layered Cinderella-like dress stayed up in the bustle the ENTIRE night! (Ever been to a wedding where the bride holds her dress because the bustle fell?) My mother's dress arrived 3 weeks before the wedding (again, from a different shop) and Susan made sure she was able to fit my mom in as well. Turned out that the dress the other shop had ordered was way too small for my mom - and 5 days before the wedding my mom decided to can it. Mom couldn't even sit in the dress!! Luckily - Susan had a dress available in her shop that fit my mother perfectly!! She was able to make some small adjustments that night and 3 days before my wedding my mother FINALLY had a dress! I honestly do not know what we would have done if we hadn't gone to Susan for alterations. She is clearly knowledgeable about gown alterations - and creative! She was able to quickly find a solution to a huge problem for us. I am so grateful for this and I have been back to her shop many times since. I've had 2 other dresses for other weddings altered since and Susan hasn't let me down! I also love her shop, it's very cute and unique and she has a lot of great wedding purses and jewelry to shop for!

Susan Perrone is a miracle working, dress making wizard, and the NICEST and most TALENTED woman I…read morehave ever had the pleasure of knowing. She made my dream wedding dress and it was just perfect. Susan was so excited and passionate about making making my dress that it took away to stress and anxiety of worrying about this part of the wedding. Fittings were a joy not a chore. She is a perfectionist and I am so grateful for her hard work... more pictures to follow (at some point) I had always dreamed of wearing the white dress Grace Kelly wore in the Alfred Hitchcock movie To Catch a Thief. It was impossible to find and while there were very similar dresses out there they all missed the mark on 1 or 2 key design elements. Susan and I scoured the internet, we watched clips of the film to see how the dress moved. Looked at dozens of pictures to make sure we were getting the subtle details right. Not only did she do her research she found the dress she would use as the foundation and the material to make my dress at TJ Maxx and saved me hundreds of dollars. Susan absolutely nailed it. Thank you so much Susan Perrone for making my wedding dress and for being so wonderful. I want to give her 10 stars but they only allow 5.

The entire staff was incredibly helpful and supportive, and they completely eased my mind when dealing with my indecisiveness. I had a specific budget in mind, and they were able to work within it to find me the absolute perfect dress. Since I live in Manhattan and commute to Paramus, their excellent communication and transparency when the dress arrived made the process incredibly smooth. Their seamstress, Nelly, is absolutely phenomenal and immensely talented; she went above and beyond by showing me exactly how to bustle the dress and letting me video the process so I would know what to do on the big day. Separately, she also used leftover bridesmaid dress fabric to create custom pocket squares for the groomsmen, and she executed them beautifully.

There's 3 large fitting rooms with long mirrors. If you need help zippering or clipping the dress tighter, the workers are right there to help. I was surprised with the selection they had of bridesmaid dresses for a small boutique shop. There's a ton to choose from and they come in so many colors! It is recommended to come atleast 5 months before the wedding date to get the dresses so you have enough time for alterations and such. The only thing is they don't do alterations here but that's fine because we know someone! I'll end on a positive note, since there are 9 bridesmaids they gave us a 10% discount. Definitely make an appointment before you come and you won't be disappointed giving them your business!

She was getting a little discouraged after the first two shops didn't work out. The first boutique didn't have a lot of choices and the second was so expensive and not many options under $1000. Bijou was a larger bridal shop and not a formal wear boutique, so I had a good feeling when I walked in and saw several formal dresses that could look great on my friend on mannequins at the front of the store. The lady who helped us was so nice and didn't have any issues with the price range that my friend was looking to spend (not like the second boutique we visited). We actually found tons of dresses for my friends to try. The prices of the dresses were within her limit and there were color options that my friend wanted. We finally settled on a dress that she and I loved. The sales attendant was so helpful and she did a great job clipping the dresses so we can get a sense of how the dress would fit. Overall, the whole experience was easy and pleasant. Definitely check out Bijou if you are shopping for a wedding gown or a mother of the bride/groom dress.

After lots of searching, I settled on a dress I felt would work for me even if it wasn't perfect. Two days before the wedding, a friend suggested an alternation that would transform it into the perfect gown but I knew it was too late. I called every tailor I knew but no one was willing to help. With 24 hours to go, Abby returned my call. She opened her shop and within an hour, had the alterations done. She could have charged me anything but only charged for the hour's work! My son picked up the dress and handed it off to me at the rehearsal dinner a few hours later. The dress was beautiful and the next day was great! There are no seamstresses left like Abby. No wonder she has such a great reputation.
