I'm so glad the boutique that stocked my dream dress was the perfect little shop with the nicest people. I tried the Kleinfeld experience, and wasn't super impressed.

The shop is really cute and I found the selection of dresses to be great/adorable. However, the stylist/shop owner was super low energy and made my mom and me feel like we were a bother (lol).

Make an appointment here if you want to have an overall awkward encounter. Almost like a social experiment.

Quick note: the name of the bridal shop on Yelp is incorrect. It's now Virginia's Bridal…read more I had a great bridal dress shopping experience at Virginia's Bridal. My mom, grandma, mother-in-law, and 2 bridemaids came with me to help find my dress and I'm happy to share that I said "Yes to the Dress". The overall experience was seamless from making my appointment on the phone with Virginia to the receiving a follow-up call and email to ensure that everything was ready for me ahead of my appointment from my Bridal Consultant Lou Lou, who is AMAZING! I was welcomed immediately and made to feel appreciated and taken care from the moment I entered the door. I live a few blocks away from the bridal shop and always walk by it on my way to City Centre so when I got engaged this summer, I obviously wanted to ensure that I had an appointment set up here, especially knowing that I always had seen beautiful dresses on display on their window. I also liked what I had seen on their website. I was treated like a princess and felt like one when trying on my dresses. There is a wide assortment of dresses and designers across price ranges as this place was a lot bigger than I thought once inside. From the start I had a Calla Blanche dress in mind and low and behold, the first dress I tried on and chose was a Calla Blanche, although different than the one I had seen online. I maybe tried on 8 dresses or so and Lou Lou helped me narrow down my options via process of elimination. I explained to her the style I was looking for, budget, and she made sure we had a great assortment of dresses to try on and have fun with. By the time it came to choosing my dress, I may have tried it on 3 times and loved it more each time. (Even got a bit emotional so I knew it was the one). Funny enough it wasn't even the style I thought I had in mind, which is why you must try these on! My family and friends were made to feel very comfortable and welcomed also which I appreciated. The space is comfortable and clean inside. There was one other bride also trying on dresses at the same time but she was on the other side of me and did not interfere with my experience so no concerns there. I had a lot of fun. I had a nice dressing room and Lou Lou there to help with each dress and the clips + got to see my dress at all stages of the day with the mirror that changes lighting. It was pretty neat. Lou Lou was the ultimate hype woman and got my family & friends engaged in the process too - she announced me each time, had the music going, it was fun. I had a feeling I would find my dress here and am happy to say that I did. The only thing that stings a bit is that I went wayyyyy over budget with the dress and the "looks". The dress itself was within budget but I was upsold on an additional piece that really did make the dress and look extra "WOW" but I maybe could have done without. I can also blame my family and friends for their reactions, they loved it. So I'm not too upset about it and am excited to walk down the aisle in it and hope my fiancé also goes "WOW" :). I can't wait to try on my dress in a few months. For those brides purchasing kindly note the sale price is final so be 100% sure and alteration price is not included. Thank you again Virginia Bridal Team and Lou Lou! I can't wait for May 2024! I definitely recommend for brides to be! Happy shopping!

I've been a client for nearly a decade, and it's been amazing to see their growth. Over the years I've visited a number of their NYC studios such as Union Square, Grand Central, SoHo, West Village, Tribeca, and every single time I've been blown away by their service. You get what you pay for! They always go above and beyond to make sure everything fits perfectly, and somehow manage to make the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. At the new Greenwich studio, I worked with Humberto, the lead fitter, and he was fantastic--friendly, professional, and put me completely at ease. The studio itself is gorgeous: stylish, chic, and perhaps one of the nicest Alts locations I've been to. Plus, there's plenty of parking right on Putnam Avenue, which makes it super convenient. I recently brought in more than 10 garments (dresses, sweaters, skirts and jeans). Mix of complex and simple alterations. It's incredible that they are able to handle everything with ease. I also needed some outfits rushed for an event and the team was able to accommodate my short window. Within just 3 days I got an email that everything was ready for pickup--and the tailoring was flawless! Thank you to Jess, the store manager, and the front desk receptionist--they were both so welcoming and professional. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend Alts for any alteration needs, no matter how complex or simple.

I'm also ideal if you don't want to have mirrors in the dressing room and want to have to come out of the dressing room to see a mirror (and then the salespeople will be watching and not really letting you think on your own). Needless to say, I won't be going back. I would rather spend less on the same item and have the ability to return it if I decide I don't like it. It's less likely that I'll decide I don't like it if I don't have people staring at me while I try it on in the first place.

I wound up there a month before my wedding, still unsure of what I was wearing down the aisle. I was apprehensive to buy a bridal gown considering it was my second marriage, but Margaret quickly sprang into action! She pulled my dress, which was designed by Etalo and was hanging in their inventory, and the rest is history! Together, we restyled the neckline of the dress and it turned out exactly how I envisioned. When these folks say, "trust us, we know", listen to them... They've been in business over 50 years and they truly know what they're doing. Aside from their expertise, they are warm, sensitive and just lovely to work with. Price was very fair considering alterations done. Thank you Exclusive Bridal for making me look like not a "princess", but a "Queen" on my wedding day!

I've had the most amazing experience working with Natalia at Svetlana Bridal Shop. Back in the fall…read moreI came in alone, starting my dress search with no idea where to start. Natalia's experience quickly narrowed down a few styles for me and she helped me breeze through try-ons for over a dozen dresses during my private appointment in her bright, cheery shop. We decided a custom style, pulling inspiration from a few gowns, was best for my unique vision. She was so talented and quickly sketched up a sample for me and took measurements. Contract signed and payment up front, all I had to do was wait for their skilled seamstresses to do their magic. Turmoil in Eastern Europe delayed the arrival of my dress since it was caught up in customs with significant shipping delays through Feb/March. Natalia proactively communicated updates to me and moved mountains to get my dress to NY on time, with a backup dress tailored for me and ready to go just in case. 7 days before the wedding, we were thrilled that my original dress arrived and Natalia personally hand sewed a few final adjustments for me while I was in the shop, making sure I had peace of mind and left with my beautiful dress in hand. Friends and family commented all weekend that my dress was like a fairytale, that I looked like a princess, and that it was incredibly special. Nothing off the shelf would have made such an impression, and I'm so grateful that Natalia and her team were able to make our wedding so magical. For anyone looking for a personalized experience, peace of mind, and something special - Natalia can make it happen. Thank you!!
