The prices were much more affordable than I expected and the selection was great. We went so far as to have the bride try on a few dresses on our first unannounced visit. Two visits later and I was purchasing a dress. Can't tell you how nice it feels to have this part behind us. From the other's comments, it sounds like maybe there's one problem employee. But our experience was a good one and I'm so glad we were referred here. They do have strict rules about beverages and taking photos, which I completely understand.

I looked up nearby boutiques looking for sleeves on my dream dress and came across this place downtown! I set up an appointment and went with my mom. Amina is such a sweetheart and pulled options within my price range and specifications quickly! The first dress I tried on was the one. With only one small alteration on the corset back and I had a bow from my mom's wedding dress added to the back. Oh and a bísale! It was done as an affordable rate and done fairly quickly! I definitely recommend this place for modest dresses. She also had shoes, veils, tiaras, headpieces, tuxes and much more!

Rebecca was absolutely amazing through the entire process. We visited her bridal store twice…read morethrough our dress search experience. She by far was the most memorable consultant we worked with and was so patient, supportive, honest, and kind through the whole process. Whether you know exactly what you are looking for or you need help finding your style she is your girl through and through! She truly takes the time to understand and get to know you as a person. I love the process in her store... she carefully curates a selection of dresses for you either to find your style or based off what you are looking for. No digging through dresses, wondering what the dress really looks like, falling in love with dresses out of your price range, and no room for confusion! I will recommend Rebecca and her shop to any and everyone that is in search of their special dress. Finding your dress in itself is a special moment, but some how Rebecca finds a way through her passion, kindness, and experience to make it even more special than you could imagine! She also is not about making a quick sale she does not rush, persuade, or focus on making a sale. We mentioned about visiting other stores to continue the search since this was my first true experience and she was very encouraging about it and offered amazing guidance! Even once you purchase your dress she is still there for you for any questions or concerns you have and is happy to help with recommendations for alterations. She does not leave you in the dark or forget about you once you pay and leave! 1000/10 Recommend this lovely lady I cannot say enough about how amazing she is!

The top was quite a bit too big, but it was out of stock in the next size down, and I knew I'd never find anything I liked as much. She basically rebuilt the entire neckline for a very reasonable price and in plenty of time, and it fits beautifully. I'm so happy with it and with the prompt, friendly service.

They were very quick to get me scheduled for an appointment after I had been told by multiple other dress shops that they were fully booked through October. It was such a relief to get an appointment with them so fast. I had my first fitting in August and it was very clear from the start that Svetlana knew exactly what she was doing and was going to take great care with my dress. I picked up my dress four weeks later and the alterations were perfect! It was such a relief to have the dress ready to go a month before the actual wedding. It was also very reasonably priced to have all the alterations done. I'm not sure how many future alterations I will need done, but I know I will be going to Young' Bridal!

I visited this store for a friend's wedding, in which I'm a bridesmaid. The location was not…read moreconvenient for me as I live in Cincinnati and this was in Dayton, but not a big deal...it's for a friend! When I walked in, no one offered to help us and the store was not busy at all. When I finally approached a staff member, they did not have the bridesmaid dress in the bride's file, even though they were supposed to. It was quite a mess to figure out which dress it was but I finally got in touch with the bride. Crisis averted. They gave me the dress to try on (which I do like) and it was a very large size. This disappointed me greatly as I could not tell what the dress was going to look like once it fit (I typically wear a size 0-2). I understand that stores carry large sizes to accommodate a variety of women, but I believe they should also carry a small sample size. The staff members were friendly while taking measurements and ordering the dress but overall I was not impressed by this store. I will not be buying my bridesmaid dresses here for my wedding for a variety of reasons, but mainly because of their location and lack of sample sizes. I want my bridesmaids to be comfortable and know what the dresses will look like before they order them.

The lady that 'helped' us was rude and made me feel guilty because I was trying on dress after dress. The dressing rooms were not that big or roomy. They had a couple in the front that were, but they had bridesmaids taking up those rooms and I was a bride. It was just a horrible experience on what was supposed to be a special day for me. They did have a nice selection of dresses though, that's why they even got 2 stars.

They give you 3 hanging tags to put on the gowns you like. They then get them for you. If you still have time in your one hour appointment you can select more. I thought they had the process streamlined well. What I did not care for was the trying on area has a row of three( or was it 4?) so you are potentially modelling your dress with other shoppers right next to you. I was waiting in a chair for my people to finish selecting more dresses. While there an employee walked in front of me very close a couple times as if I was invisible. She then started complaining about the dressing room her client was going to have and seemed like she was going to bully the other employees about it. Not long after, she was suddenly all smiles and compliments. Not a good vibe.

So happy we found this place. I would just recommend if you're getting your daughters formal dress there, take it somewhere else for alterations. The lady the recommend that comes in for alterations was very rude and condescending to my 18-year-old daughter who was paying for everything by herself. No one told us ahead of time that she only took cash and she basically said that she does not deal with children. I have a very responsible and independent 18-year-old daughter at home and she would not deal with because she was there for a prom dress alteration. She kept referring to her as a "child". I will definitely go back for dresses but I will take my alterations business elsewhere

It's crazy to think that as a business owner you would be absolutely rude to a customer that you have seen every single year that was willing to put money into your store.
