    Hi. I am a 6ft plus size women. I have issues finding formal dresses. I have a wedding to go to in August. I need 2 dresses. Is that something you do or can you direct me to someone that can help me?

    This is a follow up to my previous one-star review. After leaving my review and contacting the…read moreLovely Bride corporate office, I received a quick response from a member of their team. She expressed how disappointed she was by my experience and immediately took matters into her own hands by issuing a refund, personally checking on the status of my dress at the store, and figuring out what had gone wrong. She kept constant communication with me and was transparent every step of the way. Within a couple of weeks, my dress arrived at the store, and she has even offered to ship both my dress and veil directly to me free of charge. With new ownership now at Lovely Bride DC, I'm confident no bride will have to go through the stress and disappointment I experienced. That was my main goal in sharing my original review and reporting everything to corporate. Lovely Bride DC is in good hands now, and I truly believe future brides will have a lovely experience finding their dress there moving forward.

    I recommend avoiding Lovely DC until the purported new management is able to fix ongoing issues. I…read morebought a dress here in June 2025, with a suspected arrival of early spring 2026. I checked in periodically as my estimated date of arrival came and went with 0 communication. I initiated communication at least a dozen times to request an update on the status of my gown. The Lovely team did not respond to the majority of my outreach. When they did, their responses were at best terse, and at worst rude, jaded, or in an attempt to gaslight or play the blame game for the delay. They repeatedly stated they had "no control" over the status of my dress. At one point I received an email that my dress was in production and on its way. At their direction, I scheduled a pick up appointment, and received no further update that my dress had arrived until a text received at 10:30 PM the night before my appointment stating my dress was actually not in. I had booked a train to DC to pick my dress up for this as I live out of town. The next day (after I called, emailed, and texted several times with no response), I finally received a call that new management was taking over Lovely DC. I was also informed that my dress was actually not on its way and in fact, they had no idea if it was produced yet or not. Therefore I have an email with a Lovely employee directly lying to me about my dress. Luckily the new management does seem to be improving things as I finally have my dress after months of this back and forth, and with only about 3 weeks to do alterations before my wedding. I do feel terribly for other brides in this position whose dresses are still lost, were never ordered, or worse, who received dresses that were not at all what they ordered but had no choice but to accept the dress due to time constraints. Overall, there are significant issues that need to be addressed at Lovely DC and I can only speculate about what might have been going on with the prior management to scam brides out of their dresses. I absolutely do NOT recommend buying a dress here - it is too important to risk being in the same shoes as me or other recent brides with similar stories!

    Missy was AMAZING!!! I came in September 2024 only a month after being engaged just to try things…read moreon and see what different styles. Missy really helped me go through different styles and try on so many fun ideas! I came in just to try dresses, and ended up finding my dream dress! It was so unexpected and it was on a great deal. The dresses here are second hand or sample sizes donated. It's a great place to go if you want to stay on a good budget, and so many of the dresses I saw were brand new! They are by appointment only and everyone there is a volunteer. I've told so many people about the amazing experience and will always tell any bride to check them out! Completely worth it for sure.

    What a wonderful experience! I wish I knew of them when I was dress shopping…read more Two of us went to Fairytale with a friend to help her pick her dress. Missy was excellent. After letting us in and greeting us warmly, she asked what the criteria were: approximate sizing, budget, sensory issues, shape preferences, color preferences, and so forth. Then she grabbed a few things from the back (new arrivals) and showed us where to browse. With a selection of 5 or 6 dresses to get us started, she got my friend set up in the changing room and stayed close to help her with awkward zippers, pinning the dress to fit better, and so forth. We also greatly appreciated her creative ideas on how to incorporate our friend's partner's tartan into the accessories, how to work the bustle, other modifications, and so forth to help the dress best fit our friend's needs. She was attentive and helpful without being overbearing and without distracting from the process. So glad that it was our first (and ultimately last stop) because she also helped our friend, who was initially very nervous, feel comfortable. And then, because we had another appointment elsewhere after this one, we told her that one of the dresses was a top contender and was likely to be the one. She said she'd stick it back in the back where she'd find it and gave us her cell number to let her know what we thought after the second appointment. The other appointment wasn't bad but it wasn't nearly the same experience and ultimately the dress at Fairytale couldn't be matched. So we texted her and it turned out she was still there so we ran back and got the dress. My friend is thrilled and excited. Oh, Missy also gave us a list of recommended tailors to contact. If I could give more than 5 stars for this experience, I would.

    I went with my best friend two times to help her select her wedding dress, and it was at this BHLDN…read more(Anthro Weddings) that she found her perfect match! Tears were shed, a veil was donned, bubbly was had, and the whole experience was perfect. Having been to a bunch of bridal shops with her and previously for myself and other friends, I can also affirm that the value of these dresses is unbelievably good. I was shocked when I saw the price tag of her top two contenders, and I mean shocked in a good way! Her Anthropologie dress cost far less than my own wedding gown that was purchased nearly 10 years ago. And it is BEAUTIFUL with the quality that she deserves. Later I may update this review to explain the name of her dress, which turned out to be special as well. In sum: would recommend this experience and location, which is within what I call "the mecca" aka the most delightfully large Anthropologie in downtown Bethesda! Note on parking: easy as pie parking in the lot just down the block. You pay with parking number in a machine or with the ParkMobile app. No need to search for street parking!

    Excellent bridal styling appointment. Gabriella was attentive and offered a few dresses I might…read morenot have considered. One I was surprised by how much I liked it, along with a belt she selected. I recommend you check them out when considering wedding dresses. The price of the dresses are fairly reasonable mostly under $2500. All of the dresses I was considering are under $2k.

They made my daughter feel special. That simple kindness was beyond compare. They were quite knowledgeable about the stock.

They picked up on every detail. They are true professionals. The dresses are absolutely beautiful. They are an amazing value. We were quite surprised by the prices.

    **No returns or exchanges so don't purchase if you're not completely sure**…read more Came here since this is where my friend (the bride) wanted the bridal party to go together. Building is unmarked. Need to enter the code to get in and to go up the elevator. Due to Covid they're only allowing max 3 people at a time (which is fine) but the people before us ran over so we were waiting in the hallway. We explained the color palette to her for a awhile and she talked about how difficult the dresses were to pull from the system. On top of that I wasn't a huge fan of the styles and I really wanted a halter. I asked her 3 times and basically was going to back out from buying anything until she finally went on her computer to miraculously find one halter that was avaliable in that color. As expressed by a lot of reviews here, I personally felt really pressured to size up. Even when the dress was a good fit, she would say that I should size up. When it came time to order the dress she kept pushing me to get a size that's 2 sizes up from my norm and I explained that I'd be fine 1 size up. She finally was hands up "ok. You know your body. " why yes, yes I do. And I know how the dresses felt on me and what level of breathing I will manage to look good in the dress lol. There was a lot of pressure to buy. Everyone had to put in their dress style and go to this link to register and checkout together. Next day I found this $275 dress on sale for $98 on the Jenny Yoo site (my size available). And Bella's policy is no returns or exchanges because "everything is made to order. " when I reached back out to tell them this, they gave me a little bit of money back because that was what they paid the manufacturer. Still sad that I didn't get the $98 price but I increased from 3 to 4 stars for the partial refund and working with me. Maybe it's covid, or maybe the atmosphere here is just really pushy. Although we were able to try a bunch of dresses on, and we found what we wanted and what the bride wanted... I would not choose to put any of my friends through this when it's my turn... I mostly didn't like the pressure to buy right then and there.

    Very helpful, and fun experience! My sister and I are both engaged right now looking for…read morebridesmaids dresses, and Elizabeth and team was able to step in and help both of us at the same time (which was a lot of work!!). It was SO helpful to see the colors in person, see the styles in person to understand what works together, and try the dresses on to understand their fit. We had anticipated going in just to look at colors, and both ended up creating showrooms (I even ordered my MOH dress!), and feel confident in the quality of the dresses and the assistance of the team.
