Rita is a PRO and completely saved my wedding. I had my dress initially altered by someone who did just an OK job - the bustle wasn't right and the zipper on my back wasn't straight. I wasn't sure if it was possible to fix nor in such a short amount of time. I reached out to so many last minute tailors and she was also the only one who got back to me. She made my dress totally perfect in JUST TWO DAYS. So so grateful for Rita. She really puts her heart into what she does!! Photos by Summer Grace Photo

Rita is the absolute best! I was extremely concerned about my wedding gown from Galia Lahav as it had a lot of intricate details and I was on a very short timeframe but Rita knew exactly what she was doing, perfectly shortened my dress, tightened it all around and really eased my worries! Thank you so much Rita you're the best!!

Rita is incredible!! She is seriously the nicest ever and her work is impeccable. Not only that but she charges reasonable prices. She made an entire dress for me out of my moms wedding dress. It turned out amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking to create a dress or for bridal alterations!

Rita is amazing! I bought a used dress that had been discontinued and had to have it adjusted to fit me. It was a very expensive couture gown so it was a complicated process. She took such special care of my wedding dress and was so incredibly patient. She made sure I was happy and was dedicated to getting it perfect! Thank you, Rita!

Rita did an incredible job with alterations for my wedding dress. The dress was ordered too big and she was able to reshape the top part of the dress to perfectly fit my body! She took her time to make sure everything was perfect and she was able to complete everything under a tight deadline. Thank you for making my dream wedding dress Rita!

Rita is a gem! I had a vision of a big cinderella dress from when I was a little girl and Rita helped bring my vision to life! I also didn't give her a lot of time and she met with me several times after work at 7pm to make everything perfect! As you guys know big dresses are harder to find in stores now. I bought a full A line and she transformed it to a beautiful ballgown that extenuated my waistline to compliment my figure. She also was very creative with the bustle and did a American/French mix that was like a elegant cinderella without loosing the back designs. Highly recommend!

Rita made the impossible, POSSIBLE! 4 days before my wedding, I tried my dress on and realized I had lost a few pounds. My dress was so big on me and I did not feel happy. My original seamstress also never pinned my dress to fit like a glove. I frantically took my dress to Rita and she immediately started pinning my dress! I told her my wedding was in 4 days and understood if this was impossible to fix with so little time. Rita MADE IT HAPPEN! She made my dress fit like a glove and also added bustles that should've originally been added by my other seamstress. She's so experienced and I couldn't be more grateful for her express services!

Took a wedding dress here that was too small and needed to be enlarged. She insisted I put a corset on the back to enlarged the dress and that there was no other options. Was very difficult to work with and told us no when we suggested other ideas to make it bigger, she us feel like we had no options so we said yes to a corset. She charged us a 100% upfront and we paid $1,300 that we will never get back. The corset she added was huge and looked really odd, and after several appointments things kept getting worse. I ended up taking the dress to another seamstress and they said she handled the fabric wrong and built many things incorrectly. They also said we never had to add a corset and could have easily added a simple panel instead. Overall I felt scammed and this added a huge amount of stress to my wedding planning. When I expressed my concerns with her she said it was my fault for having too small of a dress. Definitely felt like she didn't care about how I looked and felt in the dress on my wedding day.

Rita is the BEST of the best when it comes to wedding dress alterations! I was on a rather short timeline (needed all alterations complete within 2 weeks) and she made it happen! My dress was PERFECT! Additionally, she altered my veil, which you would never be able to tell was way too long initially. Her attention to detail is unmatched! She is truly the best in the business. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! Look no further-- you are in the best hands with Rita!! I will be forever grateful for her!!

Giving your dress to someone and trusting them was a lot harder than I thought! Especially when you spend so much money on it. But I'm glad I went with Rita. My dress was gorgeous! I didn't buy my dress from the shop downstairs, but from Grace Loves Lace. The only the I would say is I wish she brought the dress up from the top instead of cutting off the bottom like my mom and I asked cause it took off some of the scallop decorations... but overall it looked amazing! I thought Rita was good at responding to your calls and texts given she is a busy lady!

Rita is an expert at her craft. My wedding dress was extremely detailed with a ton of floral and pearl embellishments. Rita not only made it so the length was perfect and it fit me like a glove, but she added more floral pieces around the seams on the sides to cover the seams and make them less noticeable. She is so sweet and always made time for me if I needed to change my appt time. Also, the custom bustle she made was GORGEOUS and secure. I can't recommend Rita enough, it was such a pleasure to work with her!

Messy seam, too tight on the hips, but loose in the bust

I hate to write a review like this because Rita was nice, but I had a very stressful experience with my satin silk wedding dress here. I'm not sure if it was because I did not buy a dress at the White Dress (she mentioned this several times and suggested I get a second dress there) or because of the fabric of my dress (apparently silk is notoriously difficult to work with). She made my dress much tighter than I wanted and we decided during fittings. It was so tight, I could not bend over or sit down. Silk dresses are meant to look relaxed and not skin-tight. I came back and asked her to let it out and fix it, and she let out two inches in the hip/thigh area. However, it still didn't fit quite right - it was too loose in the bust and low back, but tight in the thighs. She told me she couldn't do anything with the bust because of how it was made, and she said I looked great and should be happy with it. She had been working on my dress for 6 weeks, and my wedding was a week away. I left feeling like I was asking for too much to want my dress to fit perfectly. I took it to another alteration shop the week of my wedding. We, unfortunately, found that there were many dirty fingerprints and seam marks from Rita's work that can never be fixed. And the seam down the side was still a bit messy. But, the other alteration shop was able to make the exact changes I wanted to the bust, straps, and hips on the same day! Overall, I did not get the experience every bride hopes for during alterations - someone to treat your dress delicately, listen to exactly how you'd like it to fit, and patiently work with you to help it fit that way. It was also very expensive!

They have everything from wedding to beauty to home. I will be making trips over here when I visit OC. I chose Anthro to purchase a wedding dress. Their service was amazing. They allowed me to have a few more guests and was patient when I was late to the appointment due to a collision on the freeway. I tried on more dresses than I originally picked. They offered champagne and water. They were positive, professional, and kind and I recommend you buy your wedding dress here. They didn't try to upsell me and prices are transparent on their website. You save a little if you buy from the store.

Anthropology had truly my dream dress at an extremely affordable cost! Would highly recommend choosing it if your priorities are the same as mine! The lady helping us honestly seemed like she didn't really want to the there (one of my bridesmaids said something after too so I know it wasn't just me) but she was plenty nice overall and they give brides and the people they bring free drinks so overall very good experience!

Honestly spent way too much time trying to get my $30 back, but it was the principle for me. Luckily my dress was fine, but still don't recommend this place to anyone. I started talking to other girl friends about this place and multiple people told me they experienced some kind of issue here. Wrong dress size ordered, wrong color and my same issue with the refund. Save yourself the hassle and order the bridesmaid dress online. Original review: I made an appointment, paid the $30 for the appointment. I purchased a dress during that appointment. I was advised the $30 would be REFUNDED to my card and not applied to my order. I thought that was odd, but okay. The website states "The $30 fitting fee is included in the dress price if you decided to purchase the dress with Us. :)" Well here we are 4 months later and I still haven't been refunded. Same as another bridesmaid in the bridal party. I have spoken to the same girl at the store twice about this matter and she just keeps saying she's going to talk to accounting. This $30 appointment fee is a scam!!!

They are available in all major cities throughout the United States, so even though the bridal party I was part of couldn't all be together at the same time, we each had similar experiences at our respective locations. After our party and bride made our decisions, the ordering process was seamless!!! The customer service at the OC location, where I had my experience, was phenomenal. The stylists are genuine, knowledgeable, and will do whatever they can to ensure you have the best experience. They know what they are doing so I found it best to just trust them. The hardest part is making the decision as they have a lot of gowns to choose from! If you happen to have a very decisive bride then the experience is even that much easier. Needless to say, I am definitely recommending Bella Bridesmaids to any of my friends getting married in the future.

No refunds, no exchanges, and no help finding the right dress…read more I brought a bridesmaid dress in to show the color I needed. They didn't have the color in stock, but the person who helped picked the color based on what I brought in. She also took my measurements to ensure we get the right dress. They do not have any sizes except size 8 in stick, so it's not possible to try on the dress either. It took a couple months to get the dress, and it was the wrong color (not even close to the color I brought in) and the size was too small. It was not custom made, I asked them to return it. They said since it was custom ordered, they cannot return the dress. Risky purchase. I picked the style out of the ones they suggested, I just needed them to get the color and size right, and both were wrong.

I came in Sat afternoon to browse through some bridesmaids dresses. Unfortunately, I came prepared with the certain designer, style, and color so I wouldn't request a lot of attention from the employees who were busy with the brides. But I quickly noticed that none of the employees even looked up when I walked in, didn't acknowledge my presence, and were way too focused on the bride. I was browsing through for a good 20 minutes and finally, I just needed to ask a quick question because I couldn't find one of the styles on the rack. I tried to make eye contact with both employees on the floor, but neither would look up or take their eyes off the bride. I was starting to get a bit irritated because even though I didn't have a reservation, I was only wanting to ask a quick question. Finally, finally, one of the girls asked if I needed help. She kindly helped me find the dress on the rack. But when I asked to try on the few dresses that I had in hand, she said that I wouldn't be able to until 2 more hours because of the previous reservations! I couldn't wait 2 hours just to try on a dress. My complaint with this place is that even though I don't have a reservation, I'm still a customer. And they just lost business with me because they couldn't try to accommodate one person. What I would have preferred them do, is to kindly ask the bridal party who weren't really trying on dresses to pause for 10-15 minutes while I try on my bridesmaids dresses. I knew that I wasn't going to have their full attention, but I just wanted to see the dress on me. Just a quick try on and done. But they didn't think to do that so, I left.
