Ultimately I found my dress myself as it is almost impossible for them to find anything you see online. And even though the company says they are size inclusive, at the store level it is very limited to try on. The store is trying to get organized and improve but they have a big mountain to climb. They are understaffed and weekends must be avoided at all costs (pure chaos). But I do want to thank Nancy, Hayley, Kai, Evelyn and Rebecca for your help.

She took the time to speak to each bridesmaid to find out what kind of style they were looking for since I left the style open to their preference. She was extremely patient and did a fantastic job. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review was due to a seamstress we spoke to right before leaving. She had a very bad attitude and was very short with all of us. What really annoyed me the most, was the disrespectful demeanor toward my mom. My mom had questions regarding alterations and left feeling very uneasy due to her remarks and lack of customer service. Other than that portion of our visit, everyone else was fantastic, patient and accommodating.

Michelle actually "sells" her one dress but actually sells a cheaper version of the same dress which is why it doesn't come out the same as the one you tried on. Or she will sell you the sample one and claim it is different. Look up La Bella Couture of Dobbs Ferry and Alexa Bridal of Yonkers. All three business are owned by the same woman.

DO NOT GO HERE. I…read morecan not believe what just happened. I first came here months ago to get a bridesmaid dress for my grandparents' 50 year wedding anniversary. I knew the dress I wanted; I just needed to order it. The saleswoman gave me a price higher than any other store I've been to, so I ordered online instead and figured I could still go there for alterations. My dress came in, and I went for alterations. The man who is either a manager or owner tells me that there is a $15 consultation fee for alterations. I questioned the fee, and the man replied that this was their policy. So I said, "well that's fine, but it makes more sense to charge the $15 if I don't actually get the alterations here. If I get them here, you shouldn't charge me that fee PLUS the fees for alterations." He replied "If you want to do it like that, we can do that." I said "Great!" The very sweet seamstress made all the measurements for alterations, and gave me a price for it ($50). That's not cheap, but I was expecting to pay about that much. Then when I go back to the man who is writing up my receipt, I see the $15 fee. I said, "I thought if I was getting the alterations, I wasn't going to have to pay the fee?" And the man suddenly had NO recollection of our conversation from 10 minutes prior. He said "our seamstress works independently. I am now responsible for your dress, so this is our policy." Me: "So, you're saying that since you are responsible for my dress, the $15 covers any changes I might need?" Him: "You know what? Forget it. You're not getting your dress altered here." This is EXACTLY what he said. I couldn't even react because I was so surprised that he was turning down my business over asking one question. I get the sense that this man is used to dealing with customers who don't question policies. And let me say, I have worked in retail before and I do not believe the customer is always right. I was not even close to yelling or being disrespectful. In fact, I was just about to bite the bullet and pay the fee anyway; I needed my dress in 3 weeks. We were simply having a conversation for no longer than 2 minutes when this man just decided to walk away from me. He is rude, and does not care about your needs as a customer. He gets frustrated when you question the policies that are clearly just made to rip people off. He kept referring to their printed paper as if it was a legal document. No sir, I have a brain and know how business works. I also know when I am being completely disrespected, and you have done it. Thanks for absolutely nothing.

She made the week leading up to my wedding so unnecessarily stressful and almost…read moreruined my dress for my wedding day (thankfully It was saved by an emergency appointment with a different seamstress two days before my Wedding) I'm truly shocked that Selene somehow has rave reviews, if you look at yelp and look at the 1 and 2 star reviews, you will see some similar experiences. My wedding was June 27th. She had my dress since April 30th initially she scheduled me for two alterations and then the pick up on June 21st final fitting was supposed to be May 30th. Everything seemed to be going fine until on May 30th the dress seemed to fit well overall just needed a few final touches near the chest (turns out It fit because It was still pinned, I didn't notice initially, I had to go back to pictures and realized this after the fact) because she said on the 30th It needed some more alterations to get the chest area right, she scheduled me for a 3rd final fitting on June 13th. When I'm walking out my door to go to her on June 13th, she calls to tell me she needs to leave as she has a medical Emergency, okay feel better I say, call Me next week to reschedule. When I don't hear from her by Wednesday the 18th, I call her and she says "I'm dealing with this medical issue right now what do you need is there a deadline?" Wild question to ask given the fact that she should have down that my wedding was the following week.. I politely remind her that my wedding is the 27th and I was leaving the 26th so I really needed It by this weekend. She agreed to see me earlier on in the day on the 21st this was I can pick It up that evening if any additional alterations are needed (by the way I later found out that her medical emergency was that she got two teeth pulled as per her report on the next fitting day) Okay this is where things really get out of control. I go in on the 21st and I am SWIMMING in my dress (this is when I didn't realize until after the fact that this is because the last fitting I had on the 30th the dress only fit because It was pinned AKA she did 0 work) she goes "OH MY GOD you lost so much weight WOW what have you been doing you lost several dress sizes, I need to do more alterations, this is too much work to do in a day, I'll work with you but you have to work with me you have to come back to pick up Monday night" I left scratching my head, I really did not think I lost weight at all let alone 2-3 dress sizes in two weeks but she had me convinced that my hot yoga I've been doing made my dress no longer fit, until my friend and I examined the pic from the last fitting. Once I realized she just straight up lied because she didn't do work and instead used my weight as an excuse, I started panicking. My MOH agreed to go with me Monday, we had a game plan.. go in, really hope the dress is done do my Fitting wait until dress is in bag in hand and then call her out. But then It didn't fit. Yes the alterations on the side were finally done but the chest area remained very loose. I think it's important to add, I'm a C cup, very average breast size there's really no reason to have trouble with this if you're a professional seamstress. Anyway, she says to me "yup like I've said since the beginning, this dress still won't fit your chest right, I will have to add straps, it's very normal, tons of brides do It " mind you, this is now 4 days before my wedding and no she never once mentioned straps to me until this appointment. I said absolutely not, you're not touching my dress another second. She responds "well I know weddings can be stressful but I have mentioned straps since the very beginning (she didn't) and it's not my fault you lost all this weight" that's when I decided to call her out on knowing she was lying then she started screaming at me in her shop like truly screaming at a bride 4 days before her wedding when she messed up this brides wedding dress.. It was a nightmare. Her mom comes out from the back room and assures me she can fix It in under an hour and I can watch. My MOH and I sit there awkwardly as her mom stitches the breast area a little more and makes It a little better It was doable I guess with like fabric tape if I wore It as is. Selene comes back after her mom fixes It to do the 'final fitting' and to show my MOH the terrible bustle she did. During this time she tells me.. don't walk backwards you will trip. Selene at the end goes "you made me nervous before can we hug It out?" It was truly the weirdest situation I honestly just wanted to get out of there so I just Said OK and played nice at the end, I wanted to remove myself from any more conflict and stress. She didn't charge me the final payment due to "misunderstandings" according to her, but her deposit was half so I still paid her $390 and I'm pissed about It.
