    I was worried because I need my vintage dress tailored last minute but Kayla was able to fix the back and add a zipper by pick up the next day!! She's very sweet and great with communication. Definitely will be coming back.

    I needed to tailor a bridesmaid dress that was a foot taller than I was. Meral made everything so easy and stress free. The dress turned out perfectly and she added some bra pads and gave me some boobs. Fairy godmother. She's wonderful. The boutique is quaint and lovely. Lots of parking! Very accessible. Would definitely recommend

    Meral's excellent tailoring work, she made the dress fit perfectly!

    I spent hours looking for a wedding dress tailor before I found Meral at Kaya Bridal through Yelp, and I'm so glad I did. Meral is one of the sweetest women I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and she is an absolute pro at what she does. The entire process was seamless, with great communication, timely delivery, unparalleled craftsmanship, and fair pricing. As a plus-size bride, I was a little anxious about the tailoring process, but Meral exceeded my expectations and was so kind. She tailored my dress to fit perfectly and I could not have loved the dress more, it was everything I could've hoped for. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to come to her for all their tailoring needs!

    Thank you Meral!!

    To anyone looking for a unique, personalized experience, I can't recommend Meral and her boutique enough. She's not just incredibly talented at what she does; she also genuinely cares about making her brides happy. After speaking with Meral during my initial visit, I knew I was in the right hands to bring my dream wedding dress to life. Meral has an innate ability to understand and execute her client's visions with impeccable attention to detail. I had a very specific design in mind for my wedding dress, something unique that represented my personal style and fit my body perfectly. I brought my ideas to Meral, and she welcomed them with open arms and made my dress from scratch! Throughout the process, Meral was patient, attentive, and truly invested in making sure every aspect of the dress was flawless. She went above and beyond to make sure every fitting was convenient for me and took the time to make any necessary adjustments, no matter how small. Her warm and welcoming nature made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. When I finally saw the completed dress, I was in awe. Meral had taken my vision and turned it into a reality, creating a dress that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The intricate details and the quality of the fabric were a testament to Meral's dedication to her craft. I mean, just check out the photo! It speaks for itself. A heartfelt thank you to Kaya Bridal & Meral for making my dream dress come to life!

    tailored dress and bolero
    Sarah V.

    I got another dress adjusted by Meral and I am once again amazed by her talents. The dress I brought to Meral needed to be taken in at the top, but I wanted to keep the space it already had at the waist and hips. I also wanted to replace a ribbon on a bolero I planned to wear with it, so that it could match the dress. Meral said she needed to cut from the bottom of the dress to get the fabric to use for the ribbon. The adjustments were perfect, just like the last dress. The part that completely wowed me, though, was how she was able to cut from the bottom for the ribbon replacement without the dress appearing to lose any of its original length. Magic! Trust me when I say that Meral is absolutely worth your time and money. And this time I remembered pictures lol!

    Meral was so helpful and very talented! I needed my prom dress altered last minute as the corset had some complications in the back and Meral was able to help me so seamlessly and quickly! She did a super good job even though my dress had no side seams which made the fix much more complicated. She made sure the dress kept the original style and it fits me perfectly now from corset to hem :)

    The service and availability to meet a deadline. Creative ideas on what best to do for alterations needed for best fit and look. Beautiful skillful tailoring and handmade inventory for special occasions! It's good to have a woman's opinion & help with the fitting process as the owner was.

    Meral worked on my bridal dress and brought my vision to life. We had three fittings and each time she revised my dress exactly how I wanted. She modernized my classic dress by adding crepe pleats and a high leg slit. Meral is a detailed and precise tailor and an amazing designer. Thank you Meral!

I'm not someone who particularly enjoys trying on clothes, so I really appreciated how non-invasive and personalized the process felt--Ashley H. was attentive and focused on exactly what I was looking for without ever making me feel pressured or overwhelmed. Their selection is truly exquisite and exclusive, with several stunning, heavy-hitting contenders that were genuinely my runner-ups. Although I ultimately said "yes" to my dress elsewhere, my family surprised me with a Love & Lace dress for my second look, which made the experience even more meaningful. I couldn't be happier to have a Love & Lace gown be part of my wedding day! I cannot recommend their studio enough, and I will be back in a few months to purchase a veil and other accessories.

I was contacted before the appointment by my stylist Hailey asking which dresses stood out to me so that she could make sure I tried them all on during my appointment. Unlike a few other boutiques I had gone to, they actually had the dresses I chose available at their store so it seems like they actually do a good job of keeping their inventory updated. They also had a wide range of styles at different price points. From the jump, we were welcome to receive waters and other drinks from their fridge. They personalized the area we would be using with a cute sign. Hailey checked in with me and then I tried on the dresses. They were GORGEOUS and high quality. Hailey was a master with the clips so I could get a good idea of how the dresses would look on me. She also picked the perfect veil to go with the dress. It literally made several of us cry. I went to 7 different bridal shops before choosing my dress and Hailey stood out to me most for being genuinely thoughtful and helpful. She was patient in answering my questions. She was efficient with the time we had, but I never felt rushed. I would 100% recommend Blush to any and all brides and especially Hailey as a stylist! Thank you Blush for such a lovely, memorable experience!

I'm not sure if you can request specific…read morestaff for Bridal Appointments (dress shopping), but if you do, I'll recommend Erin forever! I brought my mom and best friend. We all sat down and she asked what I want to look and feel like in my dress, if I have an idea of what I want (shape, fabric, color, etc), if I've tried any dresses on already, and my price range. We got to browse and point out any dresses for Erin to pull while she went all around pulling any dress she thought I might like. Erin clipped me in so well that I didn't have to tug and adjust the dress while seeing how I liked it. For each dress I got to walk out to the pedestal and check myself out in the mirror and lighting. For each dress, she asked how I felt in it, what I liked, what I didn't like, what I would change... and this all helped her narrow down which dresses to try on or others to grab to add to the list. I got to try different veils (which I didn't know I wanted and it totally completed the look, so now I'm getting a veil) and even go to different lighting to see what natural lighting would look like on the sparkles too. When I found the dress, I got to participate in the Mon Amie tradition of making a wish for myself, my fiancé, and my marriage, then ring the bell and celebrate! Measurements were taken and a detailed contract was written up with pricing and a quote for alterations. Parking was easy & there is a bathroom in the back! There was a ginormous selection of dresses of all fits, fabrics, and styles.

    I feel conflicted writing this because my initial bridal appointment in September 2025 was amazing…read more My stylist, Erin, was warm, attentive, and really understood my vision. She even pulled dresses I wouldn't have chosen myself, one of which became my dress. The hospitality, including sparkling wine and a beautiful try-on space, made it a truly special experience. Unfortunately, my presentation appointment this past weekend was very different. I invited my maid of honor and future mother-in-law since it was just my mom and I during my initial dress shopping appointment. I expected a similar, celebratory moment, but it felt more like a quick errand. We were placed in a small back room, the appointment felt rushed, and there was little of the hospitality I experienced before. The biggest issue was trying on my dress. It didn't fit, which was stressful and disappointing, but obviously no one's fault. That said, I wish the staff had taken a more discreet and thoughtful approach, like adjusting or clipping the dress before bringing my guests in. Instead, my guests were brought in while the dress was visibly unfastened, and the conversation focused on fit issues. I was also asked about my weight in front of everyone, which felt uncomfortable and could have been handled more privately. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially compared to such a strong first impression. I still love my dress and hope this was just a one-off, and that the alterations process will be more positive. I'd just recommend managing expectations and not treating the presentation appointment as a special occasion for guests.

    I truly can't say enough good things about Jaclyn's Bridal! I went to four other bridal shops…read morebefore finding this boutique, and while they were all perfectly fine, Jaclyn's Bridal really went above and beyond. I called on a Thursday morning because I wanted to try on a specific dress that was listed on their website, and they were able to fit me in for an appointment that SAME day! When I arrived, I tried the dress on, but unfortunately they didn't have it in the color I wanted. Instead of just leaving it at that, they offered to order the dress in my size and preferred color with just a $100 deposit. That way I could actually see the dress in person before making a decision. I was so impressed by how accommodating they were! About a week later, they texted me to let me know the dress had arrived and helped me set up another appointment to try it on. My stylist, Stephanie, was absolutely AMAZING. She was so sweet, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She helped me try different veils with each dress, showed me the various sleeve options, and made the whole experience feel so fun and stress-free. They're even storing my dress for me until I'm ready to start the alterations process, which was such an unexpected bonus!

She helped me get in to each dress and never made me feel like I was a bother even though we tried on so many dresses! And she even saved the dress I came in to try on for last, just so that I could be sure that there wasn't something unexpected that I ended up liking. When I finally did try on the one, I felt so relieved that I finally found my dress! Also side note, this was actually a rescheduled appointment because I had a family emergency happen the day before my first appointment, but they were so kind, understanding, and even remembered it the day of my rescheduled appointment weeks later. That meant so much to me! I had a great experience dress shopping here and can't wait to receive my dress when it arrives later this year!

She also spent so much time with me, which I know is not always possible and was just luck because it was a little slower that day (I went on a Monday). After helping me find my dream dress, Daniella stepped in for measurements and suggested a specific bolero when I mentioned I needed a jacket to wear during our church ceremony. She recommended one that was so glamorous and transformed my dress from what felt like one look, to two. I am so in love with my dress, jacket, and the matching veil she suggested. I am so sad that Panache is closing in Costa Mesa but feel so lucky I got to have the experience that I did. Truly a dream! Thank you SO much Veronica and Daniella!

    They sold my fiancé a dress and promised to do the modifications/alterations. It took 5 months and…read morewhen it was finally ready it looked awful and still needed a lot of work. Every time she asked for a change, they refused, saying it would change the designer's intention regardless of how it fits on the bride, and they kept threatening her with rush fees for any further modifications. A dress should be altered to fit the bride, not to preserve the designer's work. 1 month before our wedding they had screwed up her dress, so we had to find another bridal shop last minute and pay extra fees to make sure it would be ready in time. They refused to refund her money and told her to take the unaltered dress or they would toss it, which I found very rude. My fiancé was left in tears and under enormous stress dealing with this shop. I would strongly discourage anyone from buying their dress here.

    I was actually referred to Chia by another seamstress who was not taking new clients at the time I…read morecalled her. Chia turned out to be wonderful and very skilled at her profession. Being a designer and dressmaker herself allows her to understand the intricate construction of wedding gowns. On my first meeting with Chia, I told her what changes I wanted to make to my dress and she also made her own suggestions, which I followed. After our consultation, she calculated everything and allowed me to make the decision of whether or not I wanted to proceed. I didn't feel pressured at all and found her prices to be pretty reasonable. I made an appointment with Chia to return in about one month for my first fitting. When I came back I expected my dress to be almost completed (Chia mentioned she usually does 2 or 3 fittings and then the final fitting) but I found out that Chia likes to work in stages on your dress. This allows her to make adjustments to your taste as she continues working without having to redo something or make corrections. The one change I made towards the end of the process was to make the neckline of my dress more sweetheart. I brought in photos as an example and she was able to make the alteration perfectly. These are the alterations Chia made for me: tightening the bust, adding bust cups, sweetheart neckline, shortening the length, tightening the dress under my booty (I had a fit and flare style) and adding a bustle. The resulting dress fit like a glove and I did not have to worry about adjusting my dress the whole day. Looking back, the only thing I would have changed was the thickness of the bust cups she added. I kept insisting to Chia I wanted to "enhance" my chest so she added the extra thick bust cups but I think it caused the bust to gap away from my chest a bit. It wasn't noticeable looking at me from the front but it was from the side (and consequently in some of our photos). However, I wouldn't fault Chia for this because I was persistent and she was trying to make me happy. I would highly recommend Chia because she is very detail oriented and takes pride in her work. Overall, I think I had 4 or 5 fittings total before I was able to bring my dress home (about 2 weeks before our wedding date). She is also quite accommodating to your schedule and was always able to see me in the evenings after work, around 6:00pm or 6:30pm. Tip: Each fitting lasts about 30-45 minutes and make sure to always bring the undergarments and shoes you'll wear on your wedding day.

    I came here on a Tuesday with 2 of my friends to try on wedding dresses for my upcoming wedding. I…read morecalled Chia around 1:30p.m. and she gladly gave us an appointment for the same day at 4p.m. My friends and I went to Casablanca Bridal (which I definitely recommend! Linda was sucha sweetheart!) and came here after that appointment to try on more dresses. As we excitedly go up to the store, Chia greets us and I tell her when my wedding date is (Beginning of next October) and Chia says that it's too early to be looking for dresses and suggests us to look elsewhere like David's Bridal and such and try on dresses there, then come back when I know what I'm looking for. Chia then hands us her business card and we had to ask if we can still look at all the dresses and try them on, but after her rude dismissal, we just left since we felt unwanted there. The reviews here of her were splendid on Yelp; however, our experience was such a big disappointment and we decided to go to other bridal places. Definitely suggest going elsewhere :(
