    I highly recommend elegance by Roya! My stylist Crystal was incredible. I was torn between two completely different looks/styles and Crystal was patient with me and led me to my dream dress! She pulled multiple accessories to help my vision come to life and provide provided excellent guidance for the best fit/style for my body and wedding day vision. The shop has a beautiful selection of gowns with fair pricing for any budget. If you are on the hunt for your dream wedding dress, please try elegance by Roya!

    Ladies, if you want to enjoy the wedding dress experience, feel beautiful, and be taken seriously throughout the alterations process - AVOID THIS BUSINESS. If you want your dress to look professionally handled and reflect the price you paid for it on your wedding day - AVOID THIS BUSINESS. Please find the pictures of my dress, the night before my wedding, attached. Background I bought my dress here in August 2023 for a September 2024 wedding. The associate was kind, and the store is obviously beautiful. It wasn't until I put money down that the issues began. First and foremost, after paying for half the dress, I was told that alterations only occur Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm. That meant that I had to take off work for every alteration appointment I had. Second, when I put the first payment down, I was told alterations started at $1,100 -$1,200. Upon arriving for my first fitting almost a year later, the starting price I was required to pay changed to $1,400. Next, moving into the alterations process, I had three requests: I wanted the dress to fit without my having to constantly pull it up; I wanted to attach the currently detached sleeves for my wedding ceremony; and I wanted to add detachable straps. All of these items were discussed with the sales associate before I bought the dress, and I was assured all of my requests could be met. At my first appointment, I told the seamstress about all of the above, to include the slight insecurity related to the sleeves. Despite this, the seamstress told me it looked fine. In fact, "bulkier women fit into the sleeves" just fine. Because the dress was too large, the seamstress also decided the dress needed to be brought up. The only way to do that was by bringing it up in the waist. This created a large bulge around my stomach, but I was assured it would lay flat after alterations and pressing. The straps, I was told, would be handled later. At my second appointment, despite maintaining weight, I needed to hold the dress up myself. Additionally, I brought in examples that I thought would fix how I felt about the sleeves. I was told the sleeves were fine as is. I was also told there was nothing to be done. She also forgot I asked for detachable straps to be added. This too prompted the response of, "you don't need them, the dress is fine as is." Due to my experience during this fitting, I felt compelled to email the store laying out my concerns. I requested a conversation with the manager of the store. Instead, my email was forwarded to my seamstress. However, I was assured everything would be done to my liking. At my third fitting, I brought a bridesmaid and her aunt who had experience in being a seamstress. The bodice finally fit without my holding it. Yet, the sleeves were still unattached, the straps still not done, bulge around my waist still present. As with all my other appointments, I received the same, extensive pushback, to do anything I had been asking for for months. Thankfully, with an audience there, she agreed to move forward with all the work. At the fourth and final fitting, the large the bulge around the waist was still there. The straps were asymmetrical. I wasn't allowed to try on the sleeves because they were STILL unattached. The seamstress requested time to allow her to finish the required work. 40 minutes later, she rushed out of the back, quickly unzipped the bag for me to see only the top of the dress and hurriedly sent me on my way. I broke down again, fully exhausted and completely demoralized with how the dress turned out. When I finally was able to look at my dress thoroughly, I was appalled. It had several black marks, pearls falling off, loose strings all over and, and several places of snagged fabric. Day of my wedding, the bulge was still present, the bustle broke within the first hour, pearls continued to fall off, and the straps didn't even snap in which required the help of my bridesmaids to superglue and sew them on. PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE AND GO ELSEWHERE.

At the first appt for alterations, she let me tell her what I thought needed to be fixed first before offering her suggestions. She did this bc something she might see as an issue might not even bother me. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Im a bride to be, and I'm the kind of woman that hates trying on clothes. My maid of honor set up an appointment anyway. We arrived to Tangs with my mother, daughter, and my good friend Tiffany (who put tangs on my radar). Lisa was to be my stylist. When Lisa saw Tiffany, she gave her a huge hug! As she had helped her years before to find her perfect dress. I knew I was in good hands Lisa asked alot of questions, but nailed what I wanted instantly. She really listens. The first dress she picked out for me, is the one we all fell in love with. I tried on other dresses, but her first pick....WAS THE ONE! I asked her if it would be alright to have some time to reflect before I commit to the dress. She was so cool about that and didn't pressure me. Later on, I decided... you know what. That's my dress! My maid of Honor called Lisa. Lisa said she'll hang out at the shop until we arrive. And she did. An unexpected personal touch, was that earlier in the day...I mentioned that I love Metallica. She remembered that, and a we walked in to close the sale at 6:53, when they close at 7pm. She had Metallica on the radio for me. She let me try on the dress once more for the photo opp and was so awesome about it. I highly recommend tangs. Love you Lisa, thank you for your time and your patience. I couldn't have found my dress without you!

    Let me preface this review by saying that I have not taken my dress to be altered here but the…read morereview is based on the conversation I had with her on the phone prior to ever meeting her. I was doing my due diligence on trying to find a wedding dress seamstress for a dress I had my eyes on and found Judith via yelp. I decided to give her a call to get an estimate on what it would possibly cost to have the dress I wanted altered after trying it on at a boutique in Annapolis and she gave me a quick but very educational explanation on making sure the dress was measured correctly and to have things documented in the order sheet so what i pay for is what I receive. She then asked me who the designed of my dress was to see if I was getting a proper quote and told me that it was a bit higher than what it should be and advised me to call around other boutiques who might carry that designer to compare costs. I took her suggestion to heart and found the dress I loved at $200 less than what I was quoted for at the Annapolis shop! So thank you Judith for bringing that attention to me and taking the time to explain the run down on how to cost effectively and smartly purchase a wedding dress. The boutique I ended up buying my dress from has an in house seamstress so I won't be needing to take it to Judith but she helped me, in her own way, to buy the dress I wanted at a comfortable price and I am so grateful for that.

One of the dresses needed MAJOR adjustments as it was a good 3 sizes too big in the bust, waist and needed hemmed. Judith was able to adjust both dresses to perfection!

    I hate giving companies bad reviews but I feel like this is me being honest…read more So I booked an appointment on-line and went to go try on the dresses. Their bridal shop is part of an office building which threw me off at first. They had a decent selection of dresses. Mostly a size 6 or 8. I would say that their dresses are simple yet elegant and mostly affordable. So there was a dress that I really liked but they had to special order it for me because they didn't have any in stock. It typical takes 6 to 8 weeks to order it. But you can rush order it for 4 weeks. I decided to rush order it because it wasn't that much more expensive. They took my measurements and promised that my dress would fit me in my chest, waist, hips and height. Pretty much, the dress would be made just for me because the dress was custom made. Fast forward 4 weeks, I go pick up the dress and well I wasn't that pleased. Don't get me wrong, the dress was beautiful. I loved how it turned out until I took a closer look at it. The beading on the dress fell off after I tried it on at home. The dress was NOT fitting to me at all. I ordered a trumpet style dress and it was more of an A-line fit. The hips were way to large on me. And the length of the dress was too long. So I had to get it tailored. Pink Rose offered to tailor it themselves but I honestly didn't feel comfortable giving them my dress back to fix it. So I took to a local tailor who I trusted and got an estimate. $240 to get the dress fixed. I called Pink Rose Bridal and they said that they could only offer me $150 to get it altered. Really? After you guys messed up my dress you can't even pay to get the dress altered the way you promised me originally? I didn't feel like putting up with their crap so I just agreed on the $150 and that was it. Overall thoughts, the dress was beautiful but sadly it wasn't as custom made as they told me it would be. But at the end, I paid less than $500 for my wedding dress that I liked so I honestly can't complain too much I guess. Julia was friendly and great to work with and she seemed to have tried her best to make me happy. It was unfortunate that the company she worked for refused to fully pay for my alterations. And that dress makers messed up my dress.

I called ahead of time to ask if they carried a certain designer for bridesmaids dresses to which they said yes. I then asked if I could make an appointment to see some color swatches in the specific designer I requested. When I got to the store 15 minutes prior to my appointment and walked in and loudly and clearly stated that I had an appointment the woman started telling me the run around that she wanted to value my time and she wasn't sure if she could help me since she may have someone coming in. I then repeated that I did have an appointment and she pulled out a book of the designer that I did not request. I then asked again if they had my designer and another woman told me they no longer carry it. I stated the specific color that I was looking for and asked if they had anything similar to stay open minded (maybe another designer carried something similar) but there was nothing close. I then said that I did like another color but was really looking for my specific color and make. Big mistake. Both of the women then tried to talk me into changing my mind on my color to the point where they wrapped a crystal belt around me and said how nice it would look w the color I thought about for a moment, even though I was wearing something completely opposite. What???? Then somehow, one of the women came out from the back with the designer and color that I originally requested in a long dress like I was looking for!???? They proceeded to tell me how forest fires and floods and shipping were to blame with why they don't carry this popular designer (that can be found in many other locations in the NE)! She told me word for word that the designer "pissed them off". They also started telling me how the same color and make would clash if my bridesmaids bought their dresses at two different places bc of dye match issues. Ugh. I also, repeatedly had to ask for them to repeat what they were saying since they mumbled and spoke so softly. The only thing good I got from this appointment was a free bridal magazine and to actually see the color that I was looking for, even if it was for 60 seconds. I like to think I am a very laid back person, this was just inexcusably bad customer service and salesmanship.

They have an open floor where you can wander and pull dresses you'd like to try on, instead of describing to someone what you like and having them find something.

I'm a street size 18 and my eventual dress was a 22. It's hard to imagine what a dress is going to look like on you when you can't even get the sleeves all the way up, and you certainly don't feel beautiful. Nevertheless, the selection was nice enough, although I preferred the customer service experience I had at the place where I found The One.
