She quickly picked up on which elements I liked best and was able to recommend dresses that combined some of my wants. At times, she felt like a mind reader, pulling out dresses I never thought to consider but ended up loving.

I worked with Chrissie to create my dream wedding outfit, and she delivered something that was truly better than I could have imagined. I felt so beautiful and had so much fun wearing it! I got so many compliments from friends and family, and I felt truly like myself. I came to Chrissie with a pretty clear vision of the overall look I wanted to achieve, but with many unresolved details. Chrissie started by creating detailed sketches that pulled together my wishlist into something beautiful and unified. She created a muslin "draft" of the outfit first, and in a session in her studio she built out the garment on my body while we talked through different decisions. She even made the pant legs in two different styles, so I could decide which direction to take! She also pulled fabric samples and found the perfect colors and lace patterns. She even met with me at a fabric store so that we could look at and buy the cloth together. The process of building the outfit in the satin/silk happened across a few sessions, and Chrissie made sure to get every detail just right. Throughout the process, Chrissie was a joy to work with. She made the process so fun and put me at ease. She was always attentive and listened to my questions and ideas, and helped shape my ideas into something beautiful and real. For anyone who doesn't see themselves in a traditional wedding dress, but wants to feel incredible on their wedding day, I cannot recommend working with Chrissie enough!

We were greeted with warm, friendly smiles, and the store is absolutely stunning. The bling captured my eye at first sight, which is exactly what we were looking for. Corey and Shira are masters of their craft. My sister purchased the first dress she put on. It was exactly what she was looking for! They were very attentive we basically had the entire store to ourselves, the drink menu was an extra special added touch. I would highly recommend this bridal store, support this black owned business. Very professional, courteous, and clean, I couldn't say more. It definitely exceeded my expectations. They also recommended a great restaurant within the area that we also absolutely loved. Shirah and Corey thank you so much for making our bridal experience absolutely perfect can't wait to see you in a few months to pick up the dress.

It was around this time last year when I was dealing with Pantora Bridal. With everything going on…read morewith my wedding, I didn't have a chance to write a review, but since I still remember this horror story like it was yesterday, and how poorly they treated me I need to share my experience for any current or future brides considering them. I had ten bridesmaids who each spent over $300 on dresses, and my experience with this company was nothing short of a disaster. If they had a BBB account, I would have filed a complaint there as well because their business practices are completely unethical. For context, I traveled from North Carolina to New York to attend one of their showcase events because I wanted to see the dresses in person before making a final decision. After carefully selecting three colors: pearl, rose gold, and hot chocolate. I had my bridesmaids place their orders in November 2024, confident that we were getting exactly what I saw in person. However, when the dresses arrived, the hot chocolate dresses were a completely different shade than what we originally saw in the store. After all the time, money, and planning that went into this, the last thing I expected was such a major discrepancy. I reached out to Pantora Bridal to address the issue, hoping for a resolution. Instead, I was met with dismissive and unhelpful customer service. They offered no solutions and no discounts, even after having to be open to changing my entire wedding colors for their dresses. However, they did allow us to return the dresses, but by refusing to assist in finding an alternative solution, they left me with only a month to find new dresses for my bridesmaids. Since they refused to help over the phone, I had no choice but to fly back to New York to speak to someone in person. Even then, it was another frustrating experience where I had to suggest possible solutions myself while they remained uncooperative. The only option they offered was for me to change my wedding colors and choose from whatever display dresses they had in inventory, without offering any discount for these used dresses. After returning home, I waited for a promised follow-up call from the manager, Kadine, which never came. So my fiancé and I followed up again. When we finally got her on the phone, she claimed there was a "dye lot issue" and insisted that this was clearly stated in a clause on their website. However, when we checked, there was no such clause. We immediately took screenshots of their website while on the call and emailed them proof that nothing about a "dye lot issue" was listed anywhere. Kadine put us on hold for 15 minutes, and when she returned, she blatantly lied, and magically provided a screenshot of the website now showing the clause. They had obviously added the clause while we were on hold. The font, wording, and formatting were completely different from their other policies, making it clear that they had just inserted it to cover themselves. To make matters worse, Kadine refused to let us speak to anyone above her, and when we attempted to reach out to the owner of the company via Instagram, we never received a response. In the end, we had to scramble to find a new vendor at the last minute to replace ten bridesmaid dresses, a stressful and expensive process. I never got to have the exact color scheme I originally envisioned, all because of their dishonesty, unprofessionalism, and lack of accountability. Brides, if you are considering Pantora Bridal, think twice. They do not care about customer satisfaction, they do not take responsibility for their mistakes, and their customer service is terrible. I would never recommend them to anyone. Save yourself the stress and disappointment! I ended up going with Tatiana's Bridal Boutique, and they were beyond amazing! They heard my horror story and immediately jumped into savior mode, not only providing expedited shipping, but also garment bags and custom jewelry for my bridesmaids. They even sent me a special garment bag in the mail.

How do you have the audacity to make people pay upfront for work that hasnt even been done yet!? There was threading all over my jackets and pants, that wasnt bothered to be cleaned off? That's just lazy. What's even more lazier was the fact that checking the threading on the areas like my jacket collar, they didnt use the same thread color!?

She refused to continue business with me. I went to a seamstress who informed me that the gown was not cut right and couldn't be fixed. I called Bossina Couture and literally begged her to correct her error, she refused. My husband went to the store and offered to pay more for another gown, the owner dismissed him and told him to leave. I paid cash for this gown!!!! This is incredibly frustrating, especially considering the high price of the gown. I expected better customer service and at least the ability to exchange or return an item that was clearly not as ordered. I would not recommend this store to anyone based on my experience.

Original review below for context: I had a VERY disappointing experience here. I brought in a pair of satin pants for hemming, was told they would be ready, and when I returned, the tailor could not find them anywhere. I waited while they searched through the shop multiple times and the pants were ultimately confirmed lost. These were not inexpensive pants and also had personal significance to me, so this was extremely upsetting. To their credit, they did reimburse me for both the pants and the hemming charge after I insisted, but the overall experience was stressful and frustrating. I would strongly recommend keeping detailed records/photos of any items you leave here.
