Not sure why there is such a low rating for this place. I thought it was well organized and had a good selection. I called ahead to make an appt. When we got there, a woman (maybe the owner?) greeted us in the front and explained the process. There is a larger selection of dresses than I expected and they are all protected in plastic. There is a card attached to each dress with helpful information such as available colors and the price. You can pick a few dresses and give it to one of the staff who then help you with changing into the dress. I liked their customer service. The young staffers help pick out dresses based on what you're looking for or what you've picked out and they were great with helping to change in and out of dresses multiple times. They do have a no-camera policy unless you've purchased the dress. This makes it hard to compare dresses because after a while I forget what each dress looks like and which looks better. I wish they would organize the dresses by color so that we don't have to go looking for the color we want. Even though the available colors may not be in the store, it's helpful to see the color in the style in person. In the end, we didn't find a dress here but it was a good experience with great service. read more

Like others, would give this place a rating of zero. Don't waste your time. The dresses are dated, cheap quality and just awful. Really bad knock offs & when I heard they come from China ... that said it all. Oh and you can NOT try dresses on with shoes so don't bring them. I've seen better quality gowns at the shops in the Mall. I now understand why they block you off from walking around while you're waiting your turn. I can assure you during that 20 minute wait, we would've just turned around and walked out. You'll spend less for a quality dress at any of the mall stores & even Castle Coulture. read more

Never felt a need to write a review before but this place was utterly awful. went in with an appointment for a senior prom dress and they clearly wanted me gone immediately, zero attention. asked to try a dress off a mannequin and they acted like i asked them to run a marathon... it's literally their job? whole vibe was weird, nobody talking, nobody asking anything of value, just standing there staring... super awkward, made me not want to be there didn't like anything i picked and they kept bringing dresses that were the complete opposite of what i said, not listening at all. trying stuff on was annoying because the girl kept forgetting to unzip/untie me and had an attitude every time would never spend money here. also overheard them basically pressuring another girl to buy a dress she obviously didn't like... weird energy, don't go read more

if i could give ZERO STARS ! I WOULD ! worst place to go to , The girl in the front was so rude to me and my family . She said to us that she would have to walk around with us to look for dress and making us feel uncomfortable as if we were going to steal! THE OWNER was rude , she told us that " WE CAN GO TO THE MALL! TO LOOK AT DRESSES" tell us we can shop else where and telling us the dresses weren't for us ! DONT EVER GO HERE ! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ! read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! Bad customer service lady up front was rude drove all the way from New York just to receive bad service racist owner and workers here we were treated differently maybe because of the way we were dressed and the only reason why my family and I drove here was to buy dresses. read more

They never disappoint! after many "boutiques" and "fancy" dress stores this place is always a success! so nice and so patient! definitely would recommend coming here. They have so many dresses. Dresses for everyone ! read more

Recommend 100%! Anna was so patient and helpful to find several dresses for a destination wedding, the owner Galit was extremely sweet and friendly and Monika the seamstress......omg so talented and personable. Exceptional experience after dreading to find 3 dresses. Will never shop anywhere else read more

Went prom dressing shopping on a quiet day. Wasn't busy at all. The service people are a little pushy but that's expected. We found a dress we really liked but still wanted to shop around. All prom dresses are expensive but I'd go back again. They have a decent selection. Only problem is once they sell the dress they're not getting anymore in. I'm sure if you go a year in advance you can order a bridesmaid dress. We ended up with a completely different dress than what we saw here but we will go back in the future. read more

Don't come here horrible customer service the girl up front was so rude her name is Sammy I would not recommend coming to the this store

The service was horrible. The girl that was helping my daughter was very rude and inconsiderate of my daughter's needs. When I brought over other dresses for my daughter to try on the girl refused to take them and told me to relax and sit down. Previously I had a bad experience with my older daughter and her friend. She told her friend to look for dresses only in the plus size area. I thought I'd give it another chance but I would never return again and I don't recommend. It was also super crowded and the girls had to stand in line to get into the dressing rooms and in front of the mirror. Very bad experience. read more

My experience at dream dresses was awful. I came with my mother to help her find a dress. They wouldn't let us take any photos, so we could not compare at the end which ones we liked. Our attendant (who i'm pretty sure was the owner) kept leaving, but would scold me when I handed my mom the next dress, zip her up, or help her out of a dress ...like the attendant thought I was going to damage their dresses.... I guess they really want to sell the floor models. Why are you leaving customers undressed in the fitting room for 5-10 min if you don't want other people stepping in. All of the dresses in the store are in plastic and you cannot browse on your own. I saw a saleswoman yell at an adult customer who came in to browse because she didn't have an appointment. Our sales woman was not respecting what my mom requested and kept trying to get her to try dresses that were low cut, snug, and revealing when my mother is in her 60's. Additionally, my mom liked one of the dresses, but she wanted it an emerald green. The attendant said the dress came in emerald green, and really tried to push us to buy it without seeing it. I come to find out later that the green she was referring to was a BRIGHT TURQUOISE....like what you would see in a prom dress. To push somebody into buying a $500 dress and lying about the color is insane. Luckily, we didn't listen to the sales woman. I don't recommend this place, it was not an enjoyable experience, they just want to make a sale. The owner is going to comment below that this review is fake like she did on my google review rather than improving their sales practices...like someone would write this detailed of a refer for no reason...I'd love to provide photographic evidence of being in the store, but as mentioned before they don't allow photos so I'll let my review and the collective yelp ratings speak for themselves. read more

Customer Service is not their forte. I came in to browse the dresses at 10 min before closing time. When I entered the store, the older lady with the blond grayish hair said to me they are closed. I looked at my watch and said I thought you closed at 6pm and open tomorrow at 12pm. I just wanted to quickly browse your selection. She responded with a lot of attitude and then said to me her staff is trying to clean up and didn't want anything out of place. I said I understand but just wanted to browse. She proceeded with attitude to direct me to go look. I stayed in the store for all of 2 seconds and turned around and left the store. I told her she lost a sale because of her attitude. I am very understanding that it's 10 min before closing time and so I was not intending to move anything around without putting it back or try on dresses. I just wanted to browse their selection. Im not sure if she was having a bad day or if that's just her but I will never step foot in that store again. Very disappointed to be a resident of Old Bridge and be treated in such a rude manner. Hope she has better days moving forward and learn how to treat paying customers. read more

Angie at Dream Dresses helped create a wonderful mother daughter memory when we shopped for my daughter's senior prom. She helped us select the perfect dress from the HUGE inventory of dresses available at the store. Also - when we provided a budget number - Angie stuck to it - and did not try to up-sell (this was very much appreciated)! Thank you Angie...and thank you Dream Dresses! read more

I love the selection of dresses at DREAM DRESSES. My sister got her quinces dress here in 2023 and I just got my senior prom dress a few weeks ago , both gorgeous and what we loved! It's not close to our house, but we've been to countless dress shops and this has been a hit 2x in a row! Customer service was fine I want to focus more on the organization( love that we could pick our own dresses to try on) and of course, the dresses available is the most important thing! Definitely a go to place for us read more

I highly recommend Dream Dresses for both Junior and Senior Prom dresses. The staff is amazing ! They are attentive , knowledgeable and caring. They have a large selection of dresses, and the quality is superior . My granddaughter bought her Junior Prom dresses there last year and her Senior Prom dresses yesterday . Thank you for making this a perfect day, Linda made the experience even more special , we are so grateful for her patience and expertise ! Everyone there is wonderful ! read more

Zero Stars, I couldn't believe a business would greet customers by saying that the product(s) they are selling are expensive and you may not be able to afford them?!?!?! I guess I wasn't dressed appropriately for their business, maybe I looked to young or maybe my minority class are classified as bums.....well I took the sweet 16 party elsewhere, I'm glad it was just me that heard them say this and not the kids that were with me.... read more

Amazing experience and will return! Scheduled an appointment during busy holidays and were so accommodating. We drive over an hour prepared to have one hour and then shown the door out. We arrived a few minutes early with a list of dresses we liked online. We were greeted with kindness and waited just a few minutes (just enough to use the restroom after long drive) two girls greeted us with big smiles which immediately felt at ease. My 16 year old daughter was looking for a junior prom dress and had a vision! The girls helping said just check all the racks and pick 5 dresses or so and we'll start there! No pressure at all. The dressing rooms were lively with young girls and moms so much fun!!! We even had a mother of the bride In the mix. After the 5 dresses didn't work I asked if we could look again. The owner said take all the time you need! We are not used to this treatment typically the rules are very rigid at other shops. We picked another 5 dresses. I noticed more moms and daughters were coming in without an appointment. No one was turned away! Everyone waited patiently for their dressing room. It was such a fun vibe! My daughter settled on the most beautiful perfect dress for her. It was a bit over what we wanted to spend but well worth it. The best part when checking out was I paid exactly what was on the tag! No appointment fees, other fees We will be back for senior prom! Everyone take the trip it's well worth it So many dresses to choose from and was a beautiful group of ladies The owner gave my daughter a gift when we shared we traveled a ways! read more

We drove by Dream Dresses on our way to our Castle Couture appt. We were terribly disappointed in Castle Couture. They had no stock to try on. It seemed like a total waste of a trip until the girl there actually told us about Dream Dresses. We had a quick lunch and I called Dream Dresses with my fingers crossed that they could see us. They were so busy but still got us in. My daughter had the best experience. The owner was so sweet, pulling tons of stuff. My daughter didn't find her dream dress but we will be back bc no one else treated her so genuine. Everyone else was pushing for a sale, pressuring to order. Dream Dresses wasn't like that. We will be back! read more

My friend and I went into the store about 10 am this morning to shop for a morher of the bride dress for her daughter's wedding in October. The store was EMPTY but we were told that " it's prom season" and they couldn't help us without an appointment . THERE LOSS . She bought a beautiful dress at another shop. I guess business is not that important. read more

I usually don't take the time to write a review but this place is definitely worth my time! ... especially that I had read bad reviews about the staff before checking it out myself. I'm so thankful I still checked the place out regardless of the reviews. Galit, the new owner of this place, is beyond amazing! Super nice and very helpful! She took the time to pick the dresses for me and help me out. Super friendly too. She gave me a great discount and made sure everything works perfectly for me. I'm definitely going to buy more dresses from this place. Highly recommended!! read more

Four years ago I was at wits end trying to find a mother of the bride dress gown. After searching everywhere someone suggested I try Dream Dresses. I was beyond depressed with the whole shopping experience convinced I would not find a dress for my daughters wedding. Then I met Debbie and Angie at Dream Dresses. They asked about my budget, which believe it or not is very important. I have been to shops that did not ask and found myself in thousand dollor dresses and the sales people raving how beautiful it looked when I felt ridiculous. They are truly honest and helpful wanting you to look your very best on your memorable day. I now live in Florida and have returned to NJ for my sons wedding. I have returned to Dream Dresses and have received the same treatment. The wedding is in September which is a little bit of a time crunch after talking about budget Angie and Debbie pulled out about 20 dresses to try. They made a stressful time a fun experience offering honest critism on which dresses were flattering for my body type. I love Dream Dresses and I'm sure you will to. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. They didn't want to sell my friends cousin a prom dress. They wanted her to buy a size up so they can tailor it to her body meanwhile the one in store fit her perfectly but they insisted. So the lady told the associate not to sell the dress unless they go up a size so my 2nd mother cursed her out as she should. read more

A one star review is an overstatement. The staff and property here is quite literally disgusting. The phone number is not hooked up to the actual store and none of their 'policies' are disclosed. Every single dress on the rack is either dull or full of spider eggs. I won't make the review long and obnoxious but support a deserving business and save yourself the trip. read more

Don't believe all the negative reviews. The store has rules for a reason and if some people don't want to abide by them, that's on them. We found a completely beautiful dress that was well in our price range for our daughters sweet 16 and she couldn't be happier. Linda and Angie were very helpful pulling dresses that matched what we wanted and what we could afford. Never once was anyone rude or unhelpful. If you're looking for the million dollar treatment with champagne and people kissing your butt look elsewhere. If you want pleasant service in a comfortable setting, you can't do better than this store. read more

I loved dream dresses . The selection is beautiful. We were there twice in two days very undecided because there was so much to chose from. On the second day we arrived 30 minutes before closing at 6pm and the staff stayed until 8pm to help my daughter chose the most perfect senior prom dress ! I can't say enough about this staff , how professional , patient , kind and helpful that they are !! Best store service ever read more

Such a wonderful experience! A huge selection of dresses in every style imaginable. Angie was so patient and kind while helping us narrown down what she wanted! The owner Galit was amazing too! My daughter found her dream prom dress, we will be back! read more

Terrible experience looking for a mother of the bride dress. Too many customers and not enough help. Looked like they over booked appointments and I was left in a dressing room because my salesperson was too busy helping someone else when she should have been finding me dresses to try on. Got dressed and walked out. Terrible! read more

Terrible service they don't allow boys in their store and there is this one lady who is super mean I would rate this 0 stars if I could read more

I had the BEST experience at Drean Dresses. I saw a dress on their website a couple of months ago & came in, without an appointment, on a Sunday. I thought, if they had it in the store, I'd make an appointment & come back. They found the dress & put me into a dressing room. I didn't like it & the consultant pulled several more for me. I really like 2 & couldn't decide. She pulled another & although I didn't think it was 'me', I tried it on after she insisted. I absolutely LOVED it!! I found my wedding dress & the price was VERY reasonable. I ordered it that Sunday &it came in on Tuesday. I can't thank them enough for finding me THE perfect dress for my wedding. They were all so sweet! I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

Well Let me start off by saying this is my very favorite place to shop for formal dresses! I was there today and purchased my daughters senior prom dress. All the lady's there are super helpful! I've actually purchased so many dresses there.. from prom to sweet 16 dresses and every experience was just perfect! So thank you for that! Highly recommend! read more

Had the best experience!Angela was awesome ...No pressure here..Went to other dress places noone else was as helpful...

They don't have lots of options for higher sizes which sucks. They had about 2 dresses in my size and the style I wanted. So I won't be going again. read more

I was very upset when I went to pick up my dress and it was the wrong one and apparently the owner chose to blame me instead of accepting responsibly that they ordered wrong (good thing I had a picture) but that's not the only problem. My daughters dress also was ordered wrong and it came in less than two weeks before her sister's wedding. The owner said she would pay for the emergency alterations now of course she's not even responding! TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE CUSTORMER SERVICE. They are rude and just don't care about their clients! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else read more

Wish I could give negative stars. Terrible people. Rude arrogant and just mean beyond words. Its like they go out of their way to be horrible and unhelpful. Overpriced as it is but I gladly spent more at a different place with nicer more helpful staff. read more

I recently visited dream dresses to purchase a mother's of the bride dress for my sons wedding since the moment I walked into the store I had the best experience. It was a very personal experience and I did not feel rushed. Galit who is the owner helped me she was very personal and extremely helpful and very patient I did not feel rushed. I purchased a beautiful dress from this store and I am very pleased. She also got the dress to come very quickly for me. I recommended going there you won't want to go anywhere else. read more

Angie and Marissa were great to work with. My daughter did find her "dream dress" and we were both taken back by the great customer service and non pressured store. Beautiful gowns and dresses and looking forward to our event. We will be back! Thank you! read more

I had an excellent experience at Dream Dresses I did not have to fill out a ridiculous amount of Information or fork over a $100.00 deposit to make an appointment for a week later. (January is not a busy season) I got an appointment right away. I got out of work late and thought they would turn me away. Not only did they make no mention of my latest, they put me at ease and said they have another few hours of work before they closed. They took their time and we kept picking out dresses until I was satisfied. They have a large variety of styles for age groups and occasions. They were also sensitive to my budget. I was asked what price range I would like to stay in and the all of the dresses presented to me reflected my budget. If I had found something I absolutely had to have, the budget would have gone out the window. The other place so impersonally asked online how much are you willing to spend and then informed me that their dresses start at $500.00. All this aggravation just to make an appointment plus $100.00 non refundable deposit. Just rude! I'm so glad that I went to Dream Dresses and didn't waste my time with a stuck up, too good for you dress shop. read more

Went here last minute for a dress for a wedding and these ladies were the best! They helped me find the perfect dress AND helped with minor alterations just in time for the wedding. The dresses were fabulous quality, and they really helped me out with finding the right dress for a reasonable price. You can tell they really take pride in their dresses, as none of their dresses had pulls or stains on them (unlike some of the other places I had been to). I ended up getting two gorgeous dresses that were on sale and perfect. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

The worst store ever. Rude and unprofessional staff who dismissed us as we felt judged as we entered the store. We weren't even greeted with a smile, or helped to find a dress. Being this is your livelihood, it would be in your best interest to be more friendly with a smile on your face to make a sale. Still being looked at as we couldn't afford anything was farther from the truth. Dresses and more is a few minutes down the the road and they are super friendly and helpful. Purchased a dress right away. The dress places that we have bought from in the past are Castle Couture and Prom girl. Many options, and upscale dresses with friendly staff. I wouldn't recommend stepping foot in this store ever. Oh, and being we're being in a pandemic, the workers not wearing their masks isn't COVID compliant!! read more

Both my daughters got their prom dresses here and i can't say enough wonderful things. The staff was so helpful and took their time with each of my daughters to make them feel special. Their prices can't be beat either. We were all pleased! read more
