The selection of dresses and the price point is great. Christina's personality seems to make…read moreeveryone in the room happy and laughing. The dress came in on time. Christina accommodated many appointments and stayed late when the appointment ran late. I'm giving three stars SOLELY because of my experience with alternations. I was told before I bought my dress that altering the sleeves would be no problem. So I said yes to the dress because I was told the sleeves could be changed and was super excited. During my first fitting I was told by the seamstress that the sleeves couldn't be altered the way I was told they could. And if I wanted them like that I wouldn't be able to move my arms. If this was explained to be before buying the dress, I probably would've thought twice about that particular dress. (I would've undoubtedly bought my dress from Sister's Bridal because the service and selection was great). The alterations were very stressful and took 4, maybe 5, fittings to get the sleeves to look semi like what I was originally told (I live an hour+ away, and had to leave work early for many of these appointments). And the seamstress seemed VERY bothered by my alteration request. One my wedding day it was a disappointment with the way the custom alterations looked. The sleeves were uneven. One side held higher on my shoulder and the other wouldn't hold on my shoulder, it was lower on my arm. I can see this in every single forward facing picture from my wedding day. I can't even explain how disappointing that is. It wasn't how I was wearing it either. One side was altered differently and when I tried to move the other side down, material folded awkwardly. When I tried to move the lower side up, it pulled too much and wouldn't stay. Trust me, I tried! So, my advice is buy a dress you love 100% as is and IF you want custom alternations, have the actual seamstress there to say it can be done before buying the dress.

After visiting just about every bridal shop in NJ I found "the one" at Bridal Atelier Montclair…read more The team in this shop is an absolute a pleasure to work with, I had an idea of what I wanted, we chatted about the details for the wedding, and then they pulled together a few samples. Next thing I knew I was scheduling a second appointment to come back with my bridesmaids and father to get their opinion on the 2 dresses I had fallen in love with. (After going to so many shops, friends and family stopped wanting to hit the road with me, so the first time I put on my dress it was just me, my mom, and a couple sales associates). The boutique itself is small, but don't let that fool you they have the best selection. A variety of dress fits, colors, and styles - a little something for everyone. Since it is on the smaller side, you essentially have the place to yourself which was a huge win! During the wedding and for years after I've gotten compliments and questions about where I purchased my dress. I cannot recommend this place enough, it was truly a great experience during such a crazy time. (I unfortunately, was a bride during COVID-19 - however, I have to say Bridal Atelier Montclair such a great partner during this trying time).

It started with a consultation sharing more about my wedding and wanting to look like a princess and when I arrived Rachel already had some suggestions. I fell in love with Anne Barge & said yes to the dress! Over the last few months, Rachel and Deb (the head seamstress) helped me look like the most beautiful bride possible in my dress. I was told I looked like a princess the entire night of my wedding and couldn't thank Rachel and Deb enough!

Four years later, I brought it back to be altered for my younger daughter and have a headpiece made. She also altered a flower-girl dress for us somewhere in there. In general, a nice place to go for custom-made or custom-tailored special-occasion outfits. It's not exactly a place to pop in on a whim, but if you've got something specific in mind it's worth a look.

There's 3 large fitting rooms with long mirrors. If you need help zippering or clipping the dress tighter, the workers are right there to help. I was surprised with the selection they had of bridesmaid dresses for a small boutique shop. There's a ton to choose from and they come in so many colors! It is recommended to come atleast 5 months before the wedding date to get the dresses so you have enough time for alterations and such. The only thing is they don't do alterations here but that's fine because we know someone! I'll end on a positive note, since there are 9 bridesmaids they gave us a 10% discount. Definitely make an appointment before you come and you won't be disappointed giving them your business!
