My mom and I are from Seattle and we decided to take a girls trip to Victoria this past February…read more While there we decided on a whim to go look at some wedding dresses just to see what I would like. We really had no intentions of finding a dress since the was the first and only time I had ever looked at wedding dresses. From the moment I stepped in the doors I felt so welcome and so well taken care of. The ladies that work here are truly the best, I can honestly say I've never had a better experience in a store of any kind. They went above and beyond to make my mom and I feel comfortable, and I walked out of there feeling so incredibly beautiful, on cloud 9, and with the dress of my dreams. It was magic and I cannot give this place enough praise. Trusting them with this huge decision was the best on a whim decision ever!

I seriously can't believe this 3-year-old wedding boutique doesn't have any reviews yet!…read more I got engaged in 2013, with a wedding date in 2014, so in the fall of 2013 I went dress shopping. TWP was new-ish at the time to the dress scene in Victoria, but I'd heard great things about them, and even seen some of the dresses they sell at a bridal show, so I didn't hesitate to book an appointment with Trish when the time came. I first went looking at dresses with my bestie/bridesmaid, where Trish kindly and warmly assisted me during my appointment. I was open to trying on a variety of dresses, but being a curvier girl it was sometimes difficult to fit the samples. I ended up really loving the line of dresses from Robert Bullock Bridal, and initially thought I would end up with a simple, sweetheart-necklined strapless lace number. However, I wanted to have "that moment" with my parents, and since they were out of town, I wanted to return with them. Once again, Trish provided exemplary service in pulling some of my favourites and some of my parents' favourites. Ironically, I ended up going with a much different Robert Bullock gown (with straps! V-neck! Swarovski crystals! a train!), adding a jeweled belt. Shopping at TWP is a penultimate bridal experience - they procure a beautiful selection of quality gowns (not the cookie cutter gowns you find at more mainstream bridal stores), and their attention to you as a customer really puts the icing on the proverbial cake.

The best dress selection I've ever seen!! I felt like I was in a 2000s romcom trying things on, the…read moreladies that run the place are so friendly and the prices are amazing, I found my bridesmaids dress and my friend got a dress and the straps were a bit loose and they tightened them for her on the spot! I've been twice and I can't wait for whenever I have an excuse to come back!

My daughter needed a dress for her first Homecoming. This was all new to me…read more A friend recommended G&G. Had I not looked them up online, I would have never even known this little shop was there -tucked in between others. We spent quite a while in the store and the lovely owner gave her lots of tips. She ended up finding the perfect dress, exactly what she was looking for. I'm happy because we spent under $50 on a dress she'll likely not wear again. She also found a great accent necklace to go with it. Tip: don't try on dress by sizes, look for the style and colors you want first. We found things that fit my daughter from size 4-16. Dresses like this really vary in sizing.

I was a little hesitant…read moreto purchase a used wedding dress but I am glad I came here instead of looking at individual dresses on Craigslist or paying full price at a bridal store. I was able to look online at all the selections so I had an idea of dresses and price ahead of time (something which you can't get a traditional bridal stores) and they had all the dresses picked for me before I arrived. They were very accommodating even after I was 45 minutes late for my appointment due to traffic. The girls were super helpful and were patient while I tested out the dresses from every angle and even tried a couple on again (making her lace up the back for a second time- sorry!). Prices were very reasonable and they even had some new dresses to choose from. I was excited with my choice which had a bustle already included (something I would have had to pay more money for elsewhere) and they even cleaned it for me for free. I am thrilled to have found a dress $1000-1500 cheaper than I would have had to pay elsewhere. They even offered to accept the dress back on consignment after my wedding. I would recommend The Dressy Attic to anyone looking to save money for their wedding (and they also sell prom dresses!).

You will be disrespected. You will be gas lighted. If you want a knock off gown at designer prices, this is your destination. And don't expect it to fit like the sample, or even be the same fabric or colour. And when it doesn't fit, don't expect a refund (especially after you've signed the refund "waiver"). The owner, Robynn Mcfarlane provides bridesmaids, brides, graduates and moms with the quintessential nightmare shopping experience. Read the other bad reviews and believe them, but whatever you do, don't believe that you are trying on the dress that will be the one that arrives. She orders from China, and you're going to be left in an impossible situation. I suppose the plan is for her to retire beside a lake of brides' tears, and she couldn't care less - as a matter of fact, it would seem that she might actually find some sick satisfaction in it. You'd be better off buying a potato sack because when it doesn't fit right, at least you get to enjoy the potatoes. Shop anywhere but here. PLEASE, SHOP ANYWHERE BUT HERE. (P.S. When R. McUnFairlane disputes this review, her "side of the story" will be riddled with lies.)

Contrary to the business's reply, the bride did try multiple times to reach somebody at the store…read more I am sitting next to the bride as I type this. After seeing the dress on me she agreed it was not good at all. Robyn was absolutely not rude to me once, her receptionist was. Robyn did offer for me to come have the dress altered at the store, for a price. This felt incredibly offensive as the dress is horrible and she is aware I can't make it to Abby from Burnaby in rush hour after work before they close. I tried twice to pick the dress up and failed. I have now had this dress "fixed" the best it can be by a professional seamstress. This was the second seamstress I had look at the dress. Both agreed the dress does not look as it does in the picture. It sits completely different. The dress is now fitted to me and still looks just terrible. The bride will have an absolutely beautiful wedding day. She completely understands mine, and a few of the other girls, issues with this dress. This will not effect her perfect day as we will make it work for her. I still stand by my previous review and will never purchase another item to this company. The customer is absolutely not always right, however in this case, unfortunately for me, I am.

Love that this boutique carries plus sizes! They are a little more hands off in terms of picking styles as they want you to go though and chose the ones to try on that speak to you first and then go from there and was absolutely attentive to any questions and helping in and out (she asked to what lvl of help I wanted, which I appreciated!)

Since I had a small budget, that immediately helped me focus on one wall and not tantalize myself with the ones I couldn't afford. She asked me a bunch of initial questions about what I was looking for, what I thought I liked and what I definitely didn't want, and used all that info to pull out several dresses that were very close! The try-on process was comfortable, not invasive, but incredibly informative every step of the way. And I found my dress here! Not only THAT, but Leslie knew I wasn't a fan of sparkles, glitter, and sequins, and this dress had some on the bodice, and she offered to spend an hour picking them off for no extra charge!!
