I went around to a few other places and kept trying to get the same vibe, and I never felt it. I ended up going back today to get that exact dress, and I'm so so so glad I said YESSSS at Lotus!

WOWOWOW! Natalia is a total gem! My friend recommended I go to her for alterations to my wedding…read moredress. She was personable, professional and an extremely talented seamstress. Her price for altering my dress were half of what I was quoted in Manhattan and the alterations were turned around in a two weeks. Two other things I appreciated about Natalia were: 1) She made suggestions about how to alter my dress, but wasn't pushy at all and let me come to my own decision on train alteration. 2) She is extremely detail oriented. The top of my dress was a bit baggy. Instead of the easier alteration of adding darts, she instead did the more challenging alteration of taking in the bust in via the arm holes, which maintained the clean lines of my dress. Highly recommend Natalia for your wedding dress alterations OR just get your wedding dress there! I only found her after already purchasing my dress.

Natalia is extremely talented and a pleasure to work with. She brought my vision to life, making a custom dress with every detail made exactly to my liking and to fit me perfectly. For this level of service and customization, her pricing is incredible. I love my dress so much and am so happy with how it turned out. People kept commenting on how much they loved it as well. It's so special to have been able to wear a one-of-a-kind dress made just for me for such a momentous occasion. And it was so great to support such a wonderful small business and get to work with Natalia in the process. I highly recommend getting your dress at Nazarela!

My daughter needed a prom dress but with three weeks until prom, we weren't able to custom order. We found both a prom gown and a graduation dress and purchased off the rack. Yvonne, the proprietor, made the alterations and delivered the perfectly fitted dresses in under two weeks. She also made Covid masks that perfectly match the dresses. We are over the moon happy with our purchases and with the gold standard service we received. What a treasure this shop is. UPDATE: Today, the day of my daughters prom, we realized that the hook that aligns with the bustle was missing. Frantically I left a message for Yvonne and she got back to me immediately. With her calm demeanor, she told me to come right in with the dress and she would make the alteration on the spot. It took under 15 minutes and the dress is now perfect. How many stores give this level of service? And all with a smile. Can't wait to lose weight so I can shop Kimera for myself!

Isn't it cheongsam (i.e. qipao) one of the most flattering dress styles you can ever wear? I have…read morealways think so and didn't hesitate to pick this style as one of the dresses that I would be wearing on my wedding day. I looked all over and even had the chance to do it overseas in different ways; through someone who does wear them sometimes and even through my in laws. However, I rather chose someone local as I wanted to be able to try, adjust and make changes on my dress until I had the perfect one. I found Kimera design through Yelp and a trusted yelper and decided to go check it out. The store itself is beautiful. Filled up with amazing taste and originality. I was looking for a qipao but I was equally impressed by her gowns styles. These are simple but so beautifully crafted, designed and fitting to a woman body in combination with the most delicate silk fabrics in different colors that I just can't imagine you will be disappointed. Kimera's experience is extremely personal and dedicated to your needs and wishes. She's got ideas, talent, excellent suggestions and planing ahead. I love how respectful towards what you want she is, tho she will suggest improvements accordingly. After all,this is all about you girl. You should not let anybody to shape what you wish. For my dress we had 5 sessions from design and fitting until it was ready to pick up. I also wanted an special fabric after she showed me some samples. Such a beautiful glowing silk fabric with a delicate cherry blossoms pattern. I loved it and she was able to get it for me. Not only the bride can find her perfect dress but she's got plethora of styles for bridesmaids, mother of the bride, a guest or simply that dress for any other occasion in addition to weddings. My cheongsam not only is unique and a combination of ideas between the both of us, but beyond perfection. She made my dream dress become a reality for the most special day of my life. Girl, that's what we all look for and I can't recommend enough Kimera's designs. Whether you go exotic or traditional go and check it out. I can anticipate many will give it a try.

Collette has been nothing but wonderful for my sister in fitting her for her wedding dress! Yes,…read moreparking can be as difficult as a full figured girl fitting into a size 4, but stick it out...ONLY if you have the patience of a saint. We waited over a half hour for Collette to finish with a previous bride. She didn't tell the other bride she had an appointment and didn't come upstairs to let us know. Already I was annoyed. To kill some time while Collette was fitting my sister, I decided to look at some of the dresses on the packed racks in their dungeon basement. "DO NOT PULL ON THE DRESSES!" I was yelled at and accused of touching, breathing, glancing, and apparently, ruining the dresses. I sat there as still as stone in between fittings. It's horribly lit and has looked the same probably since the very day it opened. Why is there a shark on the wall?!?! I will NOT be coming here when I become a bride; that's a total given!

Some of the problems were obvious and others were hard to pinpoint, but the effect was a mishmash. My daughter called Susan and after several reassuring texts, made an appointment to come into The Wedding Dresser. From the get-go Susan understood what was wrong & how to fix it. Her team went to work. The dress was how it should have been - masterful work, a talented team, and able to pull it all off in record time!

The owner of The Wedding Dresser, charges high prices for reasons I cannot comprehend. I brought my…read moredress to Susan and agreed to pay her $1600 for quite a few alterations. I asked to stop the alterations because I could not afford to move forward. Susan said no problem and that the hem was done. When I picked up my dress, the hem was not finished, only the inner layers of the dress had been hemmed and they'd been hemmed WRONG! They were ascending rather than descending. This incorrect hem cost me $750 (1/2 of the total which is very high pricing!) but because I did not have an itemized receipt (though I asked for one) that price shocked me. The top layer was the shortest and they got longer from there so they were ascending rather than descending which is not how I brought the dress in or how wedding dresses are supposed to be hemmed. I called Susan, assuming it had to be a mistake, but she refused to fix her mistake. I found a seamstress to complete all alterations for 1/8 of the price. Susan had google remove my review threatening to sue me for defamation and extortion but I don't want her money, nor did I ever threaten her or lie. I just don't want others to have the experience I had. Google is biased and sides with business often. Customer service is all I ever asked for and wanted, a simple apology, any kind of offer to adjust the incorrect hem would have been more than enough.

I want to preface my review by saying that I booked one of the first appointments of the day during the week so the salon was not busy. I can't speak to the weekend experience. A few weeks prior to my appointment I received an email from Ronnie, one of the salons owners inviting me to have a call with Brooke, the Director of Client Experience. Brooke called me about a week before my appointment and we went over my budget, what I was looking for in a dress, and details about my wedding. She also went through the process with me of using my online account to "love" dresses so my stylist could have an idea of what I was looking for in a dress. On the day of my appointment I arrived with two bridesmaids and we sat in the lobby until we met Candace and Jen who was assisting her. I was brought back into the dressing room and we went over styles I might like, budget and details about my wedding. She also wanted to know where I was in the dress shopping process to see whether I was still getting a feel for different styles. She pulled a number of dresses that were the style I wanted and within budget. The only dress I tried on outside of my budget was one hanging on the rack that caught one of my bridesmaids eyes. I had my own pedestal because the place was not busy and Candace and Jen were great at listening to my likes and dislikes. I ended up saying "yes to the dress," and I'm overall thrilled with the end result and my experience with Kleinfeld throughout the entire process.

I visited Wedding Atelier with a friend who just got engaged. It was our first wedding dress shop…read moretogether, so we were all excited about the appointment. Of all the wedding dress shops I've visited, Wedding Atelier had by far the most rules. Absolutely no video, limited pictures of only select gowns, no beverage (we couldn't bring Prosecco), no shoes (I get this), meant to pick dresses of only 1 cut style.... I totally understand the need to have rules because people can abuse the system. But for a bride coming in to spend money, it seemed a little excessive and unwelcoming. The service was very nice, it didn't feel overly salesy. They did immediately set boundaries with the number of dresses to try and made firm recommendations that we needed to stick to one dress type only. Overall, it's a nice gown shop with a good selection. It was very busy the day we went, so appointments in advance are necessary.

The employee at the NYC branch made sure the dress was processed quickly and was very helpful. I received the dress the day before the event and it is a truly stunning dress for a great price and fit like a glove. I purchased the correct size based on the fit check tool which was spot on. It doesn't just give you what will fit - it tells you based on if you want a snug or looser fit based on your own body measurments. Great experience overall!
