    Wow, this is way overdue but Wendy saved my wedding! (Might be slightly overkill, but her…read moretremendous work in absolute record time, made sure I could spend my energy worrying about the many other things leading up to my wedding). Due to scheduling, I only had 3 weeks between trying on my wedding dress (bought off the rack) and flying out to my international destination wedding. Upon my arrival in Sarasota, I zipped my dress, and it did not go up past my waist--oh no! I went to another Sarasota tailor who saw the dress and me in it, and simply said, "No." I spent two days wallowing and online browsing when I went back to the internet to see if there was anything else to be done. THANK THE INTERNET FOR FINDING WENDY! I made an appointment via phone for later that afternoon and was greeted in her shop by the kindest, most easy-going woman, I could not help but feel more relaxed. I tried on the dress and came out of the changing room to explain my thoughts. Wendy quietly listened and simply said, "there are so many things we can do to make this dress perfect." Music to my ears! She gave me 12 days for any last minute slimming down and completely altered the bodice of the dress in something ridiculous like 2 days--I kid you not. The dress was 3 layers, the top of which was lace. To add room to zip, she hemmed lace from the skirt of the dress which she made into fabric panels under the arms on both sides, allowing more space and the zipper to zip. Wendy charged me an unbelievably reasonable rate for the level of imagination and skill that went into this work and I was thrilled to double her requested rate for the impeccable work and piece of mind she gave me during a very stressful time. Wendy, you are a godsend and I am so grateful for your time, patience, work and opinions. I only wish I could get married again to enlist your work again! You know I will be back the next time I am in Sarasota!

    I was thrilled when my friend referred me to Wendy. Not only is she a very professional seamstress,…read morebut she's also a wonderful person. She is genuinely concerned with making alterations to perfection. She expertly tailored the elegant lace top of my ensemble that I'm wearing to our granddaughter's wedding. Her prices are SO reasonable that I gave her extra--she deserved more for such excellent work. She also shortened the mother of the bride's dress and is going to make alterations to the maid of honor's dress as well as the bride's dress. Very highly recommend Wendy and Serendipity Boutique!

    I came here for my first in person wedding dress shopping experience with my mom and one of my…read more bridesmaids. I had a great experience! Our stylist Laura was awesome! She asked me about what I was looking for and looked at some of my inspiration photos of a dress and picked out 5 dresses for me to try on. While I was changing she provided bubbly for my bridesmaid and mom to sip on. It was a very intimate and personal experience as we had the whole shop to ourselves for the whole 90 minutes. Laura was very friendly and helpful with her dress selection and she even found a matching veil to my dress. She found dresses that matched very similar to what I was looking for around my price range. Thanks to her I was able to say yes to dress! I am very excited about my gown and coming back for a fitting and alterations in the coming months.

    This bridal shop should never be on your list of places to visit! They canceled my appointment :15…read moreminutes before I arrived after having spent the entire morning getting ready and driving :45 to get there. I booked my appointment on line, because google, yelp & their website shows hours of operation as being open for business on Fridays. When they called me to cancel the appointment I was told the store is only open on Thursdays & Saturdays and has been operating that way the entire month of December 2025. The manager then tried to blame me (never apologizing!) when I was upset about the incredibly disrespectful treatment I was receiving, and not even recognizing my wasted time. Note the photo attached still showing the hours they are open which isn't even close to being accurate. And again, why was I able to book an appointment for a day and time when they aren't even open?! If this is the way they run their online presence, can you imagine the nightmare it must be to work with them ordering a dress and then managing its alterations!

    I can't say enough about my experience in finding "the dress". I went to another dress shop in…read moreSarasota which was around the corner from Camilyn Beth. I told her I needed a mother of the groom gown and she suggested I go to Camilyn Beth. She only sold bride gowns. So I walked around the corner and found myself at Camilyn Beth. She asked me what I was looking for and then pulled three gowns off the rack. I only went as far as gown number 2 and found what I was looking for. I wanted a classic style gown in a deep blue. Preferable a comfortable fabric that gave and didn't wrinkle very easily since I would be folding it up to take it on a carry-on to NJ. The gown was altered perfectly and the communication with the proprietor was excellent! I couldn't have found the most perfect gown. If you don't know already, these gowns are design by Camilyn Beth. Her fabrics are wisely chosen for ease of wearing and the designs are simple elegance. When I was in my 20s I would call it a "smart" looking dress because it was something Jackie O or Hepburn would wear. My tastes have always been classic, simple and comfortable, so this gown was perfect for me. All I have to say to Camilyn Beth is bravo! You hit fashion on the nail when it comes to classic elegance. I shall see you again at your new shop one day!

    In the spirit of giving Tuesday, I want to give you a little advise... go to Camilyn Beth now…read morebefore it's too late. I don't mean that to be too dramatic (even though drama is my middle name). I guess what I am trying to say is...she is talented and right now accessible (and affordable). My experiences at Camilyn Beth have never been topped. The ability to have pieces custom tailored as I try them on is definitely in my top 10 life experiences to date...and I have been to Maui multiple times. In addition to her fabulous one of a kind designs, I love her commitment to celebrating local in all ways. And seeing the studio decked out for the holidays this past weekend was such a treat!
