Prom dress shopping with my daughter, let's see how this goes! It might not be "traditional" for dads to go prom dress shopping with their daughters, but I absolutely had to come! At the end of the day, the best people to have by your side when choosing your prom/wedding dress are the ones who love you, cheer you on, and make you feel like the most gorgeous girl in the world. It was quite the experience! I was a bit overwhelmed by all the dresses, styles and colors! And prices!!!!! Good Lord!!! However, this was a special moment for my daughter and I was so happy to be included. Mom was at the helm of it all, but I was very honored to have been included in the final decision! Plus, I paid!!! Overall, the service provided by the staff was nothing less than exceptional! Staff were friendly, amicable, and very helpful throughout the process. Eventually, she found the dress she wanted and boy were we wowed! Simply gorgeous! My only gripe would be that all dresses are FINAL SALE and they do not place any dresses on hold (not even for 24 hrs). read more

Original Dresses - My Pride & Joy! She said yes to the dress! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was very disappointed with my experience at this store. The first time I came in, the staff helped me find a dress, so I returned later to purchase it. Unfortunately, the customer service was completely different the second time. The dress I bought was the only one they had left, and it was the display dress. It already had loose threads and showed signs of wear. I politely asked if they could offer a small discount because it wasn't in perfect condition, but they immediately said no. I also asked if they had the same dress in another color or if they could show me similar styles, but they weren't interested in helping. The staff was rude, dismissive, and made me feel like I was bothering them. I ended up buying the dress because I had a deadline and didn't have time to keep shopping elsewhere. However, when you're spending a significant amount of money on a formal dress, you expect good customer service and merchandise in excellent condition. Unfortunately, this store failed on both. I would not recommend shopping here based on my experience. I was very disappointed with my experience at this store.

There were several styles I liked but not available in the color I needed. It all worked out read more

Very large selection of dresses! My daughter needed a dress for a formal event and I was happy they had toddler dresses. Service was amazing and the girl helped pick out a few extras to try on. My daughter felt like a princess and enjoyed her shopping experience. Prices are comparable to other stores. I saw some on Amazon for about $20 cheaper but it's a smaller business so makes sense to me. Hoping I have an event that will let me come back and shop for myself. read more

This store came highly recommended by several friends when looking for a better selection of dresses for Winter Formal. The ladies working were so friendly and helpful, they assisted us with carrying, dressing room, zipping up and all our questions. They had such a large selection in every color, length and style you could ask for. They also have beautiful quinceañera and wedding party attire and accessories. We especially loved the ample amount of fitting rooms so we never had to wait in line. The store is located in a strip mall with a large parking lot making parking super easy. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. my friend came in today and tried on dresses (she was so excited) and they were so rude and laughed in her face and left her in tears. Who do these people think they are? you guys are truly lucky I wasn't there cause I would have caused a scene. look at your staff and do better, and if anyone is looking to go here DO NOT DO IT. so unprofessional. I have worse things to say, but just know to never EVER go here. read more

Great service and reasonable prices. Good selections too! If you need a dress for an occassion, I really recommend this store. The staff are very helpful too! read more

Original Dresses - The most stunning flowers ever!!!! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Found my daughter's winter formal dress here at very short notice. Large selection of elaborate and simple/classic formals. Note you can try on 8 dresses per day so be strategic. Many corset backs available which makes them more flexible. The 3rd dress she tried on was a navy satin w a side slit with POCKETS. It was perfect and she looked stunning. She is 5'9" and didn't need hemming w heels for reference. These are not lined and there is a thread hanging here and there but for around $200 she shined. We will definitely be back. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Felt like a celebration when we checked out everyone was so thrilled. read more

This is our go to for dresses for any occasion especially for my mom. We have gotten both our daughters quince dresses and the best part is they are reasonable prices for them.

The dresses here are beautiful and everyone here is so nice! They helped my mom & I find a dress for her birthday so fast. They also do alterations in house which was really nice! Great service all the way around! read more

CINDERELLA WOULD APPROVE OF THESE DRESSES If you don't plan ahead you may miss the ball. Even Cinderella could find her dress at Original Dresses or behind this building at Christina's Fashion. I like the elegance of these gowns and the bling rhinestones. I've even purchased an After 5 gown last minute for a 20's party on New Years'. The price range for a fancy gown can be $185.00+. CUSTOMER SERVICE Service here is bare minimum. You'll have to ask 20 questions just for one answer. NEED TO KNOW Avoid wearing make-up when trying on clothes or bring a covering. You will be charged for all damages. Ask the ladies to do the zip and ties on dresses. Don't get blamed for a mishap on the dress. "Though you're dressed in rags, you wear an air of queenly grace."

Wonderful variety of dresses!! You will be sure to find your perfect size!! In addition the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable!

My daughter went into this dress store yesterday to look for prom dresses. She was in the store for nearly 2 hours. Before her friend arrived, not one person came to help her. When her friend arrived, she was greeted and allowed to try on dresses. Although the dresses were cheap, the quality of the fabric was terrible. She said the styles looked like they had an idea, but we're forced to make the dresses. The dresses on the wall, no one was allowed to try those on. Even if she did not discriminate against us, we still would not allowed our money to be spent here. What people like this shop owner/employee should understand is that black people can buy you out! However, this shop doesn't desire another moment of our time. read more

As a Latino and fluent Spanish speaker, I visited this store with my fiancée to shop for wedding dresses. My fiancée, who is a darker-skinned woman and not Latina/Hispanic, was immediately subjected to blatant racial profiling. Upon our entry, the cashier with short blond hair whispered to her colleague, "Echale ojo a esa muchacha"--which translates to "Keep your eye on the girl." This discriminatory comment was unprovoked and deeply offensive, revealing an apparent comfort with racially profiling customers. Feeling unwelcome and unsafe due to the hostile treatment, we promptly left. Later that same day, I called the store to address this issue directly and respectfully shared our concerns about the discriminatory behavior. Unfortunately, instead of taking our concerns seriously, the staff member denied the incident and dismissed her behavior as a "language confusion." This excuse rang hollow, especially considering my fiancée and I were the only customers in the store at the time, leaving no justification for the unnecessary scrutiny directed at her. When I pressed further to ask if they had ever received similar feedback about their treatment of customers, the individual on the call continued to deflect and justify the actions. This lack of accountability and unwillingness to acknowledge harmful behavior is deeply troubling. I strongly urge others to take their business elsewhere--to a place where customers are treated with dignity, respect, and joy, especially when celebrating such meaningful moments in life. Discrimination has no place in any business. God bless. omo latino y hablante fluido de español, visité esta tienda con mi prometida para buscar vestidos de boda. Mi prometida, que es una mujer de piel más oscura y no latina/hispana, fue inmediatamente objeto de un evidente perfil racial. Al entrar, la cajera, una mujer de cabello corto y rubio, le susurró a su colega: "Échale ojo a esa muchacha". Este comentario discriminatorio fue completamente injustificado y profundamente ofensivo, mostrando una aparente comodidad con el perfilamiento racial hacia los clientes. Sintiéndonos incómodos e inseguros por el trato hostil, decidimos irnos de inmediato. Más tarde ese mismo día, llamé a la tienda para abordar el problema directamente y compartí respetuosamente nuestras preocupaciones sobre este comportamiento discriminatorio. Lamentablemente, en lugar de tomar en serio nuestra preocupación, la empleada negó el incidente y desestimó su conducta como una "confusión del idioma". Esta excusa carece de credibilidad, especialmente considerando que mi prometida y yo éramos los únicos clientes en la tienda en ese momento, lo que no justifica en absoluto la atención innecesariamente hostil hacia ella. Cuando insistí más y pregunté si habían recibido comentarios similares sobre su trato a ciertos grupos de clientes, la persona con la que hablé continuó desviando el tema y justificando sus acciones. Esta falta de responsabilidad y la negativa a reconocer un comportamiento perjudicial son profundamente preocupantes. Insto encarecidamente a otros a llevar su negocio a otro lugar, a un lugar donde se trate a los clientes con dignidad, respeto y alegría, especialmente al celebrar momentos tan significativos en la vida. La discriminación no tiene cabida en ningún negocio. Dios los bendiga. read more

The first time we came to this shop was to look for quinceañera dresses for my daughter. I called the day of and they had an appointment available for the same day, which I appreciated. She tried on 3 dresses and she received help from someone in the store. I never caught her name. The experience was 3/5, average. My daughter ended up loving a dress from a different shop, so we didn't buy her dress here. They do have a big selection though. I also liked the selection of formal dresses and knew I would be back for a dress for myself. Yesterday we returned to look for gowns for my sister and I, and we were helped by Lilly. Lilly went above and beyond. Once we chose a few dresses to try on, she was so helpful in the fitting room. She grabbed other sizes, she offered other recommendations, and helped with zipping and tying the gowns. It was a great experience. In the end my sister ordered her dress. I still haven't decided on a dress, there's just so many choices but I definitely have my favorite at the moment. We plan on coming back for a dress for my mom and for myself once I decide on the dress. Thanks Lilly for all your help! read more

Great service and prices. We were looking for a prom dress and $700+ wasn't in our budget. Found a great dress for under $200. The dress we found had some minor issues with the applique on the top. One of the women said she would fix it and we could come back tomorrow to see if we still wanted it. It looked great. This is not a fancy store, but they had a lot of selection. read more

Wow! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with how many options they had! A dress for any occasion. We immediately were greeted with a smile by Gabby who directed us to what type of dress we were looking for. Once we settled on a few to try on, another lovely lady came to assist my daughter with sizing and trying on the gowns. She even went above and beyond to go get high heels to see if the dressed needed an alteration! Now let's get to the pricing! Pleasantly surprised at the cost of the gown we chose. Extremely reasonable. In fact, we purchased accessories to match her gown! Go to this store for the next event you have! You will not be disappointed. This is our "go to" dress shop from now on. Thank you Original Dresses! read more
