She sent us home with both sizes so that we could be sure that he was both handsome and comfortable - no extra charge. The owner went above and beyond! She was friendly and helpful. We were able to make appointments at convenient times. I thought the price of a tux rental would be outrageous but it was actually less costly than buying my sons a pair of appropriate dress slacks and a shirt for the occasion, especially considering that they'd probably just outgrow those before wearing them again. Great service, great selection, and great price! My only regret is that I irresponsibly took months to write this review. The shop owner deserved better for all that she did for us! I would highly recommend Simply Dainty!

In the great-search-for-the-"perfect"-wedding-dress (oy), I've visited 7 bridal salons over the…read moresummer. I found Helene's online after searching for designers that I liked and made an appointment in advance with Anna. The day of, there was a mix-up between my appointment and a bride who had come in and they apologized profusely again and again for it. (Apparently people think brides are always thisclose to acting like Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters after she's taken over by Zuul). No biggie - my mother-in law and I waited for while until they finished up. I told Anna my budget, showed her the pictures she asked me to bring and she started pulling dresses out. I must have tried on at least a dozen dresses and found 2 that I liked, 1 that I loved. She helped me into each dress and took the time to pull, pinch and zip everything so that it fit as best it could. She pulled one or two dresses over my price point (but very slightly over) and told me before I tried any of them on that they were over my budget, but did I still want to try them. I appreciated this a lot because some salons a) don't ask your budget and b) will pull a dress out that is beautiful on you, until you see that the price tag is 3x what you want to pay. The salon is somewhat on the smaller side, though the room where you try on the dresses is bigger - if you are the only one in there at the time. I was able to go on a Tuesday morning and we had the place to ourselves. The dresses are lovely and the service was great, but the one thing that irks me about Helene's is that they don't allow you to take pictures of you in the dress. My mom/sister/50% of my bridesmaids live out of state and I wanted to be able to text them photos of the dresses. It might not be a huge deal for most people, but to me it was somewhat of a deal breaker. (Also, I don't get why some stores don't allow this. I will use my Nancy Drew slueth-ing skills when your back is turned to figure out the dress designer + price tag and then Google it. Age of the Internet, homies.) Overall, I enjoyed my experience there (sans the picture thing) and really appreciated the customer service and quality of dresses at Helene's. Definitely worth a visit on your dress tour!

Helene is absolutely wonderful from the first day I came into her shop shopping for my wedding dress up until the day I picked it up she worked with me every step of the way. Payment plans were never an issue I was able to afford my dream dress without having to worry about paying for it. Helene is so friendly and helpful anyone who gets their wedding dress in her shop will be absolutely pleased. I actually bought 2 wedding dresses for my wedding day the first was in another shop I actually never wore it I loved the dress from Helene's so much it became my #1... Shop here brides you'll be very pleased!

I do not recommend this place. Although the owner is super nice, I would not revisit this store for…read moreany occasion. Back in maybe February or march, we ordered our dresses, we were told end of June arrival. She took our measurements at that time as well. Kept calling, she DOES NOT pick up the phone. I had to go up there, and then kept getting mixed answers as to why the dresses were not in. Fast forward, dresses came in a week before the wedding, you have to pay CASH for the dress, if there is a balance, before they will do alterations, which are only done Monday and Tuesday, which was not told to us. My dress did not fit, even though she took my measurements, like didn't even zip up any. She charged me $150 extra to make it bigger although that was definitely her fault. Additionally, there were mixed prices regarding steaming some paid nothing, others paid $25, etc.

Do not even set foot in Ana's Bridal in East Providence, RI. We wanted to support a small business,…read morebut this was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. The owner comes across as a sweet grandmother-type personality, but once you purchase your dress and pay in full, she completely stops caring. I ordered my mother-of-the-bride dress in October and by April had still heard nothing. When I called to check on it, Ana first claimed I had already received the dress -- which was completely false. Then she told me not to worry because "the wedding isn't until September." Wrong again -- the wedding was August 1st. After reading other online reviews, I realized this seems to be a pattern. Calls went unanswered and messages were ignored, so I had to start contacting the store weekly just to get updates. I used different phone numbers, so my call would be answered, but only more lies. When my dress finally arrived at the end of May, Ana's daughter emailed me saying I was "not welcome" in the store and they would simply mail the dress to me. I had no recourse when I said please don't put it in the mail because it had already been done. My $700 Mon Cheri Montage dress arrived shoved into an Amazon box. After all the measuring Ana did, the dress came several sizes too big. It honestly felt like they expected me to spend even more money on expensive alterations at their shop. This entire experience was stressful, unprofessional, and disappointing. I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

This is a consignment store, but I scored a beautiful, brand-new, lace wedding dress for under $400. TAKE THAT, wedding industry! The owner, Deborah, is really lovely.

Currently, there is also a room dedicated to mother of the bride and bridesmaid dresses, but according to Deb, they are clearing out that inventory and will soon be 100% bridal. In the meantime, there are 75% off sales to be had!
