Really disappointing experience. I was very clear from the start that I only needed one alteration…read moredone before moving and would handle the rest elsewhere. The seamstress Garine was kind and helpful, but another employee Zina was so incredibly rude. She came off very kind in the beginning but she is a very hostile woman who made the entire experience a very sad one for me and it's still on my mind. When I went to pick up my dress, she called me and immediately accused me of being "disrespectful" for not doing all my alterations with them--something that was never stated to me as a clear policy. In person, she continued to speak to me harshly and said I wasted their time and what I did was not acceptable. She said it so many times and so aggressively I started to cry, and only then she felt bad for being so ridiculously harsh. I even offered to apologize to her seamstress who she claims I was wasting her time, to which she then told told me "it's not a big deal" To make it worse, I was quoted $50 but charged $75 with no clear explanation. I did not want to further argue so I paid what was asked. I went in to pick up my wedding dress, an experience every girl wants to remember for the rest of their lives and left feeling upset and honestly in tears. No customer should be treated this way. Would not recommend doing business with someone like her.

Someone texted me and we just communicate via texting. There is a fee per hour to try on dresses. I confirmed my appointment again via text a few days before. There is parking behind the business but I didn't know and I parked on the street. There is no business name on the suite. Just go to suite 103. The door was locked so I called and someone opened the door for me. I brought my mom and sister to this appointment. Kandee helped me out and I told her it's my first time trying on bridal dresses. She recommended that I try on several styles so I know what I like and didn't like. She is very nice and patient with me. They offer rental if you are not looking to buy a dress. They also do custom gown if that's what you want. I like that Kandee didn't pressure me to buy a dress. In fact, she encourages me to try on more dresses at other places too. I appreciate that I wasn't pressured into buying a dress that day. I feel very comfortable. I'm going to browse a bit more and I'd definitely consider them once I know what I'm looking for. Overall a great experience especially if this is your first time.

I really appreciated her helping me choose my perfect wedding dress. After trying on soooo many different dresses, I finally fell in love with a gorgeous dress found at Love Boat Bridal. The dresses here are also very affordable compared to some of the other places I visited, and included alterations. In the end, I was very happy with my service here and I highly recommended Irene and Love Boat Bridal

This was the fourth bridal shop I visited while searching for my dress, and to say I came in…read morewithout expectations would be an understatement. At that point, I wasn't sure I would ever find a dress that I truly loved, especially one within my price point. However, Lynette was an absolute godsend. She took the time to listen carefully to what I liked and suggested dresses that perfectly matched my style and personality. She was also very mindful of my budget and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire appointment. The shop itself was warm, welcoming, and such a comfortable place to try on dresses. Since my wedding is still about 11 months away, they had no trouble helping me find something that could be ordered in time. They explained that they typically need at least six months' notice for a dress to arrive, which made the process feel very manageable and stress-free. From the moment I stepped into the shop, it was clear that Candace truly loves what she does and is committed to helping every bride find their dream dress. I couldn't have done it without them, and I'm so glad I came here. I cannot recommend Hanna Bridal enough and would highly encourage any future brides to save themselves the hassle and start their search here first!

I was looking around for a QiPao to wear to…read moremy graduation and stumbled upon Brocade Apparel after multiple failed attempts of finding a well fitting, generic QiPao in Chinatown. I am very glad that I decided to come to Brocade to see Helen. I did not have an appointment, but Helen took me in graciously. Which she did not have to since she does state on her website that appointment are REQUIRED. I clearly did not read it carefully enough at the time. I told her where some of my insecurities were and she explained that QiPaos look best on people who have some extra meat and fluff to them and she was able to point on what type of designs would help accentuate my natural curves. She rushed my order a bit as I did not know that QiPaos that are custom takes a minimum of 3-4 months to make. I had the basic QiPao design and Helen added the sleeves for me although there is normally an extra charge to add sleeves to QiPaos. Please DO NOT throw away your receipt since you have to text that to her the day before the fitting so she can track your dress. I had a initial fitting in mid November and I received my dress about 3 weeks after since I had gained some weight and the dress needed to be altered to go up a size. In the end it all worked out and I had my beautiful, pure silk QiPao just in time for my photoshoot. Everyone who saw me in the QiPao could not stop complimenting me on the day of my photoshoot and the day of my graduation. I had never felt more confident in clothing than putting on the QiPao. I am so grateful for this experience with Helen in designing a custom QiPao. Also, expect that basic QiPaos are a minimum of $500 and up. If you want embroidery, I was told that it will be a minimum of about $1,000+. Prices are due to change based on the economy of course. Helen also informed me that she can design other clothing besides QiPaos and I had even noticed some wedding dresses in her changing room. I will definitely go back to Helen when I get married to design another dress. She also informed me her busy season tends to be from Jan/Feb until end of August as that is when Lunar New Year and Wedding Season is, so expect a longer turn-around time during that period.

Thank you to Helen for turning around a beautiful cheongsam for my wedding. I admit I came to Helen…read morea bit late in the game so there was a tight deadline getting my dress and the fitting but Helen made it happen. You call Helen to make an appointment. Then there you can browse her selection of designs, which she designs herself. If you give her enough time you can pick the fabric. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the fabrics that are more readily available. She'll take your measurements and then you set an appointment to try on your gown. Make sure to bring the shoes you plan to wear on your special occasion so she gets the length right. Then on your second trip, make sure you have your receipt number handy. Maybe take a picture of it as soon as she gives it to you on your first visit. Then she may make additional adjustments or not. Helen also has a lot of dresses available for rental as well. This is a very homey, small business shop so the fitting room is basically a big closet in the back. She is really nice, kinda reminds me of many friends' moms. She speaks limited English so if you have a particular vision and don't speak Mandarin, I'd bring a friend to help translate. My dress came out so well fitting and I got a lot of compliments on it. Hope to find another occasion to wear it again (and hope I can still fit it lol). It was around $300, not too bad! There is street parking in front and residential parking around.
