Very frustrating to drive 40 minutes out to prom dress shop only to have the shop closed when it said on Yelp that it was open. read more

I ordered a dress for my prom from THEIR website that delivers directly to THEIR store from THEIR system. This should be completely reliable. However, when my dress was delivered I came to pick it up and they tried to tell me it was out of stock after I already paid for it and i got a notification that it was delivered. They did not help me at all. They said they sent an email a couple of days before it was "delivered" saying it was out of stock. There was NO email. This was absolutely ridiculous and now I have no dress for prom. If you need a dress I don't recommend you waste your time here. read more

Aimee was so helpful picking out dresses and being very patient. Then we met Christie she was awesome too.. they both where friendly very attentive, gave great feedback and their customer service was exactly what the world is missing now ah days.. and I haven't mentioned what great dress selection they have and the prices aren't to bad.. thanks again for all the help.

My daughter was getting married and she wanted me to wear a pink dress. I found it difficult to find an elegant looking pink dress. I searched high and low, throughout LA, IE and even Santa Barbara. I stumbled into The Dressing Room and it turned out to be such a wonderful find. First of all, the two ladies were busy, but extremely attentive! I went in to try on a dress that I saw in a bridal magazine. Ummm, that dress did not work at all! My wonderful Dressing Room stylist didn't stop until she brought me the perfect dress!! They were patient, friendly, encouraging and very efficient! Definitely give them a try! I know I will be back! read more

BOOBS, TORSO, SPARKLE, AND MORE BOOBS. These are the options that most formal gown stores have. Very little fabric for EXPENSIVE prices. Now I understand that these are on high demand for most women when shopping for dresses, but there are the few girls out there that want elegance with affordable prices. I have been formal dress shopping for my sisters formal school events for several months now. We were at our 7th store in San Diego when we finally started feeling hopeless. I mean, it's San Diego and there are more places to shop but we had been to the top of the top places in San Diego. At this point I thought we were going to take a ride up to L.A, when I stumbled upon this place right around the corner. Before my sister and I came down my dad said he had driven by at was drawn away from here because of how small it looked from the outside. When my sister and I came in we were greeted by Amy. Her aura was that of a genuinely nice person that wanted to help us. It wasn't the fake, "Give me your money or leave" that we typically got from other places. Which was a huge stress reliever since I have pretty bad social anxiety. She let us have time to ourselves but constantly reminded us that she was here to help. My sister was at aw and so was I. Yes they did have the typical sexy dresses but they also had dresses similar to those Iv'e seen celebrities wear on the red carpet and the typical prices of most dress are anywhere from $150-$400. Most that we chose fell into $250. All these dresses were so unique that I didn't even want to post about this place because my sister and I didn't want anyone else to enjoy the dresses. They even had nude high heel shoes to borrow to have to better picture wearing the dress. -Parking is pretty good. Its a little tight because it's small but were plenty available when we came. -Customer service is excellent. Walk ins are great but I would highly recommend requesting for Amy. She was brutally honest in which dresses best suited my sister and she didn't force us to buy a dress by saying, "You should buy the dress by the end of the day or your dream dress will be gone." like most other places do. She said, and I quote, "Come 5 more times, 7, doesn't matter, whatever makes you comfortable!" -Prices are unreal! My dad even asked what the catch was for these dresses being so affordable . Definitely recommend. As a parent myself, I can say I like the non-hootchy mama dress options. read more

Wonderful prom dress shopping experience! We found a stunning unique dress in under 30 min! Huge selection to choose from. I especially loved the that they carried larger sizes. The gals were so helpful and accommodating. We will be back again and again. read more

This place has everything you need! Amazing customer service, beautiful dresses and customization! I've used TDR twice for bridesmaids dresses, one for my sisters and another for my own. The quality and price point is unlike other boutiques out there. As for trying on and looking for dresses, Amy was very patient with us and made sure we left happy each time. She sealed the deal both times, measuring each bridesmaid individually and custom ordering our dresses. Some of their lines had dresses with the choice of custom colors we could choose from a provided palette. Also, there were certain brands exclusive to TDR that made shopping all the more exciting! I definitely recommend them for the latest beautiful dresses, especially for bridesmaids dresses!! read more

Worked with Shelan and Amy to get custom colored bridesmaids dresses for my sister's wedding and they turned out absolutely beautiful! Communication was great and Shelan sent over recommendations to get exactly what the bride was looking for. Walking up with all the bridesmaids to the Double Tree I literally have never seen so many jaws drop over these dresses "most gorgeous gowns my eyes have seen". Don't worry the bride out shined us all still. read more

Excellent experience! Prom shopping for my daughter on a budget, The Dressing Room had a huge selection in a broad range of pricing.

I highly recommend this place for dress shopping. read more

The thought of having to go and look for bridesmaids dresses made me feel anxious and annoyed... that completely changed when I walked into the dressing room. The store was VERY organized and color coordinated and Amy, was very professional and helpful. I was able to pick out bridesmaid dresses for my girls in 30 minutes because everything was so easy to look through and clean. The hardest part was deciding on what dress I wanted (because I truly loved everything there). They have dresses for ALL occasions and I'll definitely be back when I'm in need of a gown for an event. If you haven't gone in I HIGHLY recommend it. You don't feel pressured to buy something unlike other stores in the area and the staff (especially Amy) made my experience very enjoyable and easy, THANK YOU! read more

My favorite dress boutique in San Diego! The girls are the best. You can't be too picky here. I love that they offer alterations on the spot. The Dressing Room is bridesmaid dress galore.

Such an awesome experience. We drove out from LA and it was definitely worth the drive . I'm gunna be a bridesmaid for my sisters wedding and because it was over a two hour drive, my sister didn't want the whole bridal party to come to the store until we knew we loved something.. And guess what WE LOVED SO MANY DRESSES!! And now, we'll be coming back with all of the bridesmaids to get sized and order our dresses. The owner was great, very pleasant to work with. The girl that was helping us was also extremely Nice and helpful.. Anyways. Definitely worth the drive. You will not regret coming here because u are definitely going to find a dress for a great price. read more

Wow I can't say enough good things about this shop & the sweet ladies who work here! Came here looking for bridesmaid dresses. They defiantly have the best prices on all the formal wear brands & fast shipping! I had to bring in all my girls to get sized and they made an appointment on Sunday for us even though they're normally closed on Sundays. Crystal & Shaylin (spelling?) were super helpful and such sweethearts. I asked if I could try on a couple of dresses for another formal event I have in a week and ended up getting a beautiful dress off the rack. 10 times better than any of the big chain stores out there and they will work with your budget to find you your dream dress. read more

To be honest, I didn't want to leave a review. But my wedding is 11 days away and wanted to share what I'm going through right now. I live about 3 hours away and I thought it'll be worth the drive to get my bridesmaids dresses from here. They have BEAUTIFUL dresses! But it definitely wasn't worth the stress. I have 8 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honor (my sister) My sister measured her hips at a 37 which is a large in "Australian sizes" according to their website. And they told me they would order one size up for every girl, since Australian sizes run small, so my maid of honor dress was supposed to come in an XL. It came in a small. My sister lives out of state and was coming a month before the wedding, so I KNEW a small wouldn't fit. I was told by the store that they "don't make any mistakes." I had my sister remeasured and she even lost an inch around the hip. So there was definitely a mistake made. I was told nothing can be done. Out of everyone, Amy was the only one willing to help. She was nice enough to compensate me a small amount ($90) for the tailor, which was a 250 dollar job on top of the $274 we already paid per dress. I had two other bridesmaids whose dresses were small as well and every bridesmaid had to take it in to do more than just shorten it. When I initially received the dresses, I had no idea which dress belonged to whom, and they pretty much left me to figure it out because the designer didn't tell them which dress was made for what size. I kept calling the store for help, and Amy helped me figure it out. When the dresses were ready to be picked up, I got a call and the lady said "your dresses are in, but you're not going to like the color" although they weren't identical, the color was pretty close but I spent 2 days beyond stressed until I was able to make the trip down there. They shouldn't have said something like that. It was overall a very stressful experience with multiple tailors telling me nothing can be done and many more hundreds of dollars out of my budget were spent. My sister has to wear a dress that doesn't fit her well and be uncomfortable the whole day. If I were to do this again, I wouldn't get the dresses from here. read more

Was a little nervous to order online because of the sizing.But boy am I glad I did!.The clothing is true to size, fabrics are great and styles up to date and GREAT prices. Glad I took the chance, now I'm a happy returning customer. read more

The Dressing Room saves the day! I have a wedding in two weeks (no big deal, just my sister in law marrying my cousin) and I STILL DIDN'T HAVE A DRESS! Of course I'm always last minute and it's not that I haven't been searching, I just couldn't find anything I fell in love with. Then I remembered this little gem of a dress shop, TDR. I was like whatever I'll just see what they have and SURE ENOUGH, I found the one - exactly the style, color, material, EVERYTHING I wanted. I inquired online and they emailed me right away. I went in the same day and now I have a dress checked off my list. Huge thanks to Amy Toma for helping me out and putting in a rush order to Australia to make it just in time. That's why I never stress, good things always come to those who wait :) Thanks Amy! read more

The Dressing Room has thee most beautiful dresses we've come across. Our bridal party has searched countless of websites only to find that most retailers didn't have what we were looking for. We came across the Dressing Room and were so excited to have so many options within our budget. What's more is that Amy the owner made our first appointment so enjoyable and provided us with great options. We found our dress for our bridal party during our first appointment! Amy was patient, accommodating and such a pleasure to work with. Although we had to cancel the wedding for now (Coronavirus got in the way), we will be back to finalize our purchase when there is a wedding date again. Amy was completely understanding and accommodating. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you purchase from The Dressing Room for any formal gown events, you won't be disappointed! The quality,array of options, prices and customer service are truly unbeatable ! read more

This place is a hidden gem. My wife and I went driving all around San Diego trying to find her a dress to wear for a wedding. We went to Macy's JCPenney Nordstrom and failed to find anything within our budget. Everything close to our budget was ripped and looked tacky. We came here and were blown away on how nice the girl was. She was so helpful, sweet and attentive. She made my wife feel very special and important. We will definitely be coming back here for the military balls and Christmas parties. The quality of the dresses is really great. Thank you for saving me from waiting around and driving all over San Diego for the future!! read more

Excellent customer service from Amy!! Walked out with a gorgeous gown! They have unique Australian dresses! Second time visiting this store from out of state and will continue to do so! read more
