This place definitely has pros and cons although I'm leaning towards a four-star rating because I…read morepersonally think the positives have a greater weight. YMMV (your mileage may vary) depending on what level of service and type of experience you are looking for in a dress shop. I stopped in with my sister and entourage for some wedding dress shopping on a Saturday afternoon. There was no appointment because, while sis called in advance, she was told that they do not make appointments for folks with a group size under 6 or so. Unusual for bridal shopping on a weekend but a-ok with me. What I immediately liked about Universe is the sheer size and selection of dresses available in store. A single room at Universe is likely to have as many dresses as I have seen at other area bridal boutiques. It is a bit overwhelming but.... if what you want is LOTS of options, this is it!! We were promptly greeted by staff but left on our own for the most part to browse through hundreds and hundreds of dresses. They did seem to have the latest fashions in many designers including Mori Lee, Maggie Sotterro and others. Again, lots of options and variety. A bit overwhelming and because of the amount of dresses it is difficult to see and filter through them all but sometimes more options are better! The attendants got us set up with a dressing room and put some starter dresses we picked out in there for the bride to try on. However, for the most part, it seems like shoppers are on their own to pick and pull dresses to try as well as to physically try on the dresses with help from a friend rather than from an attendant like you might see at some of the other bridal boutiques (where someone is available to help you get the dresses on - not an easy feat - and pin it to fit you correctly whether the sample is too big or too small.) The attendants were available and frequently asking if we needed help or had dresses that were tried on and ready to return to the racks. Perhaps they would assist with try-ons if requested and in picking out dresses similar to a style you are looking for if you have one in mind. That is something to ask about and be aware of if you plan to shop here. I would definitely recommend this place to brides or those looking for prom or other special occasion dresses. And, HOT TIP: I noticed that the labels are removed on sample dresses and the tags all have a coded manufacturer name to obscure the designer and dress name or code and discourage folks from trying but not buying from here. If there is a dress you love, I would suggest asking an attendant for the designer and dress name. If they will not provide it to you upon asking I'd be extremely put off since that would limit your ability to compare with other local stores but know there are always ways to break the code. ;)

Horrible experience. I bought my daughter's prom dress there this spring. Beautiful dress and the…read morefit was perfect. However, the $400+ dresses bodice disintegrated throughout the evening. By the time she arrived at the prom the front had completely split wide open...and, no, the dress was not tight at all. The manager, Carly, refused to offer any type of refund. She said she would call tge manufacturer, AliceParis, and they refused to offer any type of refund. This was an extremely disappointing experience, especially for my daughter as it was her senior prom. I would definitely recommend shopping elsewhere with a store that is willing to make a bad situation right.​

The staff were all so warm and welcoming and it didn't take long for me to find my wedding dress. They took all my Pinterest ideas, the look and feel for what I was going for, and picked out some dresses that embodied what I was looking for. I loved that I found my dress here, and I have nothing but good things to say! My other friend, who had gone to a few other dress boutiques, was having trouble finding her wedding dress. When I heard this I quickly recommended Abbott's. She made an appointment and she found her dress same day! The staff at Abbott's Bridal, really listen carefully to what you want, what might fit your body type, and help calm any nerves or stresses you might have. My mom also went back to find her MOB dress, and she looked gorgeous! I loved how many options they had for her! My Dress: Pronovias- Adrienne
