    Best salon in Illinois

    I had the most incredible experience at Eva's Bridal International. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel so welcomed and cared for. The salon itself is gorgeous, with an elegant and relaxing atmosphere that made the whole process feel even
    more special.
    The selection of gowns was absolutely stunning, with styles to suit every bride’s taste. My consultant was amazing—she truly listened to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect dress. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel so confident throughout the process.
    What really stood out to me was the attention to detail. From the fitting to the alterations, everything was seamless. The team went above and beyond to make sure my dress fit perfectly, and it turned out better than I could have imagined.
    I can’t recommend Eva' Bridal International enough to any bride-to-be. They made this once-in-a-lifetime experience unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to them for helping me find my dream dress!

    Great staff

    Evas was obviously the last place that I had visited. At this point I had tried on well over 50 dresses and didn't love any. Evas went out of there way to find a new dress online and have it ordered to the store for me to try on (black dresses were limited when I was looking).

    Beautiful dress selection

    Had a really wonderful experience shopping here! They had many, many dresses from a range of budgets. Everything went very smoothly and simply. I needed some big alterations and the seamstress did an AMAZING job. I’m also an out of town bride and they were able to really work in my windows of when I’m in town. Would definitely recommend them!

    Debbie was extremely helpful as I was overwhelmed with picking my dress. She couldn’t have picked a more perfect dress for my wedding. I had my alterations done there and the dress was a perfect fit!

    Thanks Eva's Job Well Done

    My daughter's wedding took place last week. She looked incredible. Since, I was the father , I did not see her in the dress until that day. One look & I had joyful tears running down my face. My wife shared with me, their entire experience with Eva's was wonderful. Everybody at the store was only interested in making her look beautiful. Eva's you did.

    Dress Purchase

    I bought my wedding dress through Eva’s International, my consultant was Pat. She was so kind and welcoming. So incredibly helpful, I really felt she listened to my vision and helped me select choices that fit. I found a dress within my budget that is brand new and matches my entire Pinterest vision. Truly a dream come true!

    Perfect!!!

    The seamstress was the best part of all my appointments. The seamstress did an amazing job with my weight loss and the laying of the pleats after each appointment.

    Great experience!

    I was extremely nervous going into picking a wedding gown due to so many horror stories. But, Kathleen was simply amazing. She worked with my budget and found a gown that was gorgeous. She also helped with small tips and hacks. She was so flexible and full of knowledge. Her patience and kindness made my experience perfect!

    I found my dress at Eva's Bridal by accident and I couldn't be happier! I had my heart set on the first dress I tried on. We went to look at bridesmaid dresses and ended up finding my dress. I'm a dress size 20 (regularly a 14-16 pants) They had so many options for my size I couldn't help but try some on. They were so flexible letting us go from bridesmaid dressed to brides. I got my dress on sale originally $3,200 for only $900+tax and it had everything I wanted!

    I had the pleasure of having Eva's Bridal International as my bridal gown, mother of the bride, and alterations vendor for my Dec 2016 wedding. When I first walked into the store in April 2016 for bridal gown shopping, I immediately felt at home. I was in and out of the store several times since then, and I was amazed by how receptionists Tess and Linda were always so poised, professional, and kind.

    Kathleen was my consultant, and she was fantastic. While we were pulling samples, she was also pulling dress samples. Kathleen completely respected my budget and style guidelines. Kathleen ended up being the one to pull my wedding dress! She offered me a 20% off discount. Kathleen also helped my mom pick out her mother of the bride dress that day.

    Cheyenne helped me look for bridesmaids dresses, and she was amazing. We ended up going elsewhere because I had a short engagement, and I wasn't able to get my act together in enough time for their bridesmaid dresses to arrive on time The quality and style of the bridesmaid dresses are definitely a step up from the typically bridal store.

    And finally: alterations. I definitely had sticker shock when I found out that Eva's does a flat fee for alterations (vs. a la carte). I ended up being so happy with it. Instead of my alterations appointments being full of discussions about every little thing that needed to be done and how much it would be, the focus was on making the dress fit me just perfectly. Srisang was my seamstress, and she was incredible. She was so respectful, and explained what she was doing to my dress.

    Some things about Eva's: They withhold the designer name and prohibit taking pictures of the bridal gown until you decide to buy it. These policies are reasonable. This store deserved my sale! If you are not interested in playing games and want to work with kind and capable professionals, then Eva's is for you. The staff could not have been more welcoming, accommodating, and respectful.

    As soon as I walked in the door the lady at the desk was professional and courteous. I was early for my appointment so they quickly gave me another sales person (Kristina). Kristina was fabulous she helped me throughout the whole process and selected my future wedding dress. I would highly recommend this bridal store. Please allow me to add I was at David's Bridal before my appointment with Eva's. The only thing I regret was spending time at David's bridal. Future brides the prices are reasonable and the service is great. The only thing missing was the champagne!

    I guess I will leave a more recent review of my experience of this Eva's located on Lagrange. First, I visited several bridal shops, and every one of those bridal shops tried to pressure me into buying their ugly dresses- I mean dreadful dress after dreadful dress. Right when I was about to give up and travel five hours away from home to look for more dresses, my best friend and I decided to stop here at Eva's. We had no appointment and we just walked in and asked to look at dresses. I showed Linda, and one of her workers my dream dress on my phone and they said they had it from the same designer. They let me try it on, and I promise I stayed in the dress for almost 40 minutes, because I could not believe my eyes. My best friend even began to cry (I know dramatic right lol) Jasmine let me try on other dresses too, because I wanted to buy a dress for my reception, and to my surprise I found it in the exact same place. These people were nothing but nice to me and sweet and did everything in their power to accompany my needs (even without an appointment) So, this place deserves five stars as of now, and hopefully another FIVE after I receive my dress, my after party dress, and my bridesmaids dresses. I will be back to write another review about my overall experience, but so far this place is the place for any bride to go. Their selection is outstanding. No need to go to New York to find the same dress, and the same designer when this place is so close to home. Quality and Quantity does not come cheap, but these lovely folks worked with my budget. Thank You Eva's for your wonderful service so far!!!!! Signed Raven :)

    I want to start out by clarifying that this is Eva's International on LaGrange - near the Whole Foods in Orland Park and NOT Eva's Bridal on 94th Ave. Eva's International was a wonderful place to find my wedding dress. My mom, sister and mother-in-law had gone to several other bridal shops and found a dress that I liked but I still had a couple concerns. We decided to go to one more bridal shop - Eva's International. First of all, they clearly have plenty of options - the facilities are very large and there are a ton of dresses to look through. Secondly, they had nice dressing rooms with their own seating areas for your entourage. It was nice to be in our own little area so we could enjoy the process. Third, the sales people actually listened to what I wanted! I found at other shops they would continue to show me dresses that I did not like and ignored my feedback. To top it off, she figured out that I must have had a dress in mind. While they did not have the dress in the store (it was a style from last year), she was able to pull a dress that was incredibly similar to the other dress I was considering, but actually fixed the elements I was hesitant about. In the end, she told me they could order the other style if I still preferred it and let me sleep on it. I ended up going with the newer style and could not have been happier. I felt like a movie star! As we began the alterations process, they continued to provide amazing customer service. I really could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful dress. I would highly recommend Eva's International!

    I found a beautiful Maggie Sottero gown at Evas and was very happy with the service and my experience. Jessica was very helpful and Madlin (SP) did a great job with my alterations and was very understanding of all the changes I wanted. Thank you for helping me feel so beautiful on my big day!

    I heard about Eva's through shopping for bridemaids' gowns when by best friend got married. Even though, she didn't choose our gowns from Eva's, I always remembered the shop and how nice it was and the wide variety of wedding gowns they had displayed so it was the first place I shopped for my wedding gown after our engagement. Our appointment went smoothly. I told the consultant what I was looking for and my budget. She didn't try to push me to spend more and kept me on track. I fell in love with the first dress that caught my eye-- an ivory vintage lace gown. This was the dress I ended up purchasing. Everyone at my wedding and even all our friends and family members who saw pictures commented on the dress and how intricate it was.

    I also purchased my six-year-old daughter's dress from Eva's which was a blush, sleeveless ankle-length gown that looked amazing on her and even complimented my gown.

    Alterations went great as well. As expected, there were a few fittings to make sure that it would fit me just right on the day of the wedding. My dress had multiple layers of heavy lace and the work was flawless. I worked with Srisaing for my alterations and she was AMAZING. I highly recommend requesting Srisaing if you are getting your dress altered here. I can't believe all the work she put into altering the lace, taking it in, and adjusting the bustle. It was a work of art! I wish I could post a picture on here!

    My mom made an appointment for me to go to this store. I have had a really hard time finding a dress I loved, and I was skeptical of this store because of the bad reviews I had read online. I would tell you so far I have had a totally different experience with this store. My sales person was Jessica and she was great. I literally tried on 15 dresses+ and she was helpful and nice the whole time and never gave up that I would find one. The store has a lot of dresses to choose from and Jessica helped me choose dresses that matched my style and also would tell me if I had picked a dress over budget. The buyer for the store even started helping me. As I was walking out without a dress, I passed a dress from one of their trunk shows that I loved. Even though Jessica had already spent an hour+ with me, she said if you really love lets try it on just to make sure. I tried it on and it was the one - a Luna Novia. I will be sure to update my review when the dress comes in.

    First of all, my appointment to try on wedding dress was so much better than I ever imagined it would be. I had booked the appointment after going to another gown shop with horrible customer service, so I was pretty discouraged. But, I walked in and was greeted by friendly staff and the gentleman who picked out my dresses was spectacular. When he found a gown for my approval, he would walk up and sort of throw it out of his arms with such grace so the gown would lay perfectly in front of us. Of course, I had found my gown after trying on only 3 dresses! And, he picked out the perfect veil to match my dress. It was stunning. Secondly, I had a unique situation in that I lived out of town and wasn't able to make multiple trips back for my fittings. The staff was so accommodating with my requests to do 1 fitting and ship the dress off and kept me in the loop with every detail. Unfortunately, the dress was 3 inches too long when I received it, but what else could I expect after 1 fitting? I really appreciate everything the staff at Eva's International did for me!

    My consultant Stacie was awesome. She was helpful and fun. She helped me every step of the way. I never felt forgotten about, she kept me in the loop through the whole process. They have a great selection of wedding dress and bride's maid dresses. I got my dress and my bride's maid's dresses. Ruby the seamstress is awesome as well. Very professional and does great work.

    Easy, fast

    They were great with my budget. Knew dresses the store had. Listened to the details I wanted on my dress. Did not get alterations done here.

    Had a terrible experience at David's bridal. I walked in on a weekend with my entourage with no appointment and Kristina took us immediately. She was hilarious and only offered opinions when asked. We also came back for bridesmaids gowns and got the same great experience. It's pricier than David's but you get what you paid for. My town was beautiful. The only downside is my MOH zipper broke on her dress on my wedding day.

    I ordered my dress in October for a June 6 wedding. I was told it would arrive in April. It did not arrive until 3 weeks before the wedding. HOwever, they were great about fitting me in for fitting appointments. My consultant was Jessica, and she was beyond wonderful!

    Cindy was fantastic! She helped me find the perfect dress for me. She made me feel like a beautiful bride, and listened to all of my likes and dislikes. At the end of the day, she took care of me and I cannot appreciate her enough for that! If you go to this shop, they have so many dresses to choose from there is no reason to go anywhere else. Ask for Cindy!

    I have nothing but wonderful reviews about choosing my wedding gown with Eva's Bridal. My sales associate made it easy for me. I showed her pictures and told her my price range, she allowed me to choose options, while she also searched for options I may like. She did not force me into anything I didn't like and she stayed in my price range.

    They open later in the afternoon, which I didn't love. The fitting was a flat rate, unless I had cups put in mine and that was additional, but well worth it. I feel like my dress was taking in too much. It's hard to choose a dress that you are going to wear months later, but that staff was wonderful and very helpful.

    A great place to work with. Alyssa was wonderful. I absolutely loved my dress. My disappointment came with the seamstress. She did not do the bustle correctly so it had to be redone. When I put my dress on, we noticed an entire layer of crinoline was not attached. No one ever knew except the girls in my wedding party but I almost panicked thinking my dress was ruined and wouldn't lay right. It looked great, just wasn't as dramatic as what it would have been with the piece of crinoline. I will say that the staff were very easy to work with and very supportive of your pre-wedding meltdowns when you cry because you have gained too much weight and now the dress needs to be altered. Thank you for putting up with me during that time. They were sure to keep telling me how beautiful I was in my dress. Loved these girls. I bought all my bridesmaids dresses there and they all were done beautifully. We were overall very happy with this shop!

    I tried on several dresses at shops in Chicago but the ones I liked were at the top of my budget, leaving little room for taxes, alternations, etc. A friend recommended Eva's so I made the trip out and am so happy I did! I went mid-week so the store was empty and I was allowed to pull dresses from the racks myself. I tried on 10+ dresses- never once did I feel rushed or like they were pushing me into dresses that I didn't like. Infact, when I told them my budget, they told me I could basically shop anywhere in the store and didn't push me towards the more expensive dresses. In the end, I found my dream dress, one that was very similar to one I tried on in Chicago, but at a fraction of the price (approximately $3,000 less than what it was in a Chicago boutique). Going through the alterations was a little stressful because I had to drive an hour out and back each time and my friends all work so I did all but one visit alone. The staff was wonderful though- I Facetimed with my Mom during most of my visits so I could get my Mom's input- the staff was patient and even held the phone for me, showing my Mom different views, so she could see how the dress fit. I think my most stressful visit was one of the last when we were doing the bustle- the seamstress did a bustle that I didn't like because it made the dress look too big around my butt- I ended up doing a completely different type of bustle that worked beautifully and was really quite easy to bustle (it involved 13 little loops and bows so it took a little time to bustle but it looked great). The dress fit perfectly and looked fabulous- it truly was my dream dress!

    Loved Evas International on LaGrange! The only negative thing I have to say is the parking at the location is not easy. The ladies were always helpful from the moment I called to book a appointment to try on dresses. The day I tried on dresses for the first time I was never rushed, I was able to try on almost 30 or so dresses before I choose mine. After my dress came in I was unsure where I would do my alterations but I ended up staying with Evas. The seamstress on site was wonderful. I had a piece of my grandmothers wedding dress as my, "something old" and she cut it into a heart and sewed it into my dress by my heart. I fell in love! All in all a great experience! Thanks Evas International!!

    I worked with a lady named Stacey there and she is very kind and sweet but I would have to say when I tried to order something specific to go with my dress she kept giving me the run around on why it hasn't came in yet when we ordered it with my dress, and was not giving me a straight answer. I wasn't very happy with how she handled the situation. Overall, the place is clean, a lot dresses to choose from and they are pretty helpful. I would recommend them.

    I went to Eva's to try on dresses for the first time last year. I brought a small group of family and friends to enjoy the experience with me. They seemed a bit inconvenienced that I had brought more than one person in and refused to let me FaceTime my sister and Maid of Honor (who had just moved to Oregon and didn't want to miss out). They also made comments about me bringing my Dad, which I thought was strange - I know it's not the norm, but I can't imagine it never happens?

    Aside from those minor annoyances, I was enjoying my first time trying on gowns. Until they told me that they did not have THE dress I came in to try on. My fault for not double checking. I asked if they would be able to order it and they said yes, but for a cost. I thought that was really strange - wouldn't you be able to allow other brides to try it on then, too? I was told I would need to put a non-refundable deposit down on the dress BEFORE I tried it on...No, thank you. After I said that I wouldn't even consider that, they told me I could use the deposit toward another dress. Again, no thank you, as I didn't find one I liked during my time there. The appointment ended on a low note and I was really disappointed in the experience.

    I know people that have gone here and loved it, but I personally felt like I got much better service at Bella Sposa and White Satin.

    I made my appointment at Eva’s International months before, I was so excited! My maid of honor even flew in! We arrived early and checked in. My consultant did not like my budget, even after I told her there was definitely some wiggle room if I knew it was “the one” and had to have it. She then asked to see the dresses I liked from my previous appointment...funny she would use the pictures to her advantage but forgot to mention that they don’t allow them there for comparisons. She then told me that I should not pull dresses from the standard sections of the room and should only pull plus sizes (I had not had this problem at any other store! In fact, every other store never mentioned a word about me being too big to get anything on, I had my body in anything from a 10 to a 28 during my other appointments). Next she told me that she was going to show me how to read the tags. I thought there might be some different system, no. This is the explanation given: “Here, where it has SZ and a number, that is the size. This here next to the dollar sign is the price.” I am a 30 year old educated woman, I know how to read a size and a price. At this point she tells me that my group is larger than most and that she can only offer me what seating is in the corner, there are no extra seats. She then asks me not to have people pulling dresses, to “keep everyone under control and out of the bridal racks”. At this point everyone was still in the lobby area! My maid of honor could see my enthusiasm had completely left but says to give it a chance. The consultant yelled to us from different areas of the store, multiple times, telling us to get away from certain racks, that the dresses would be way too small or that they would be way too expensive. By the second dress I finally got on, I was in tears. Her constant reminders about my size and budget had gotten to me. I left crying, feeling so self-conscious and flat out ugly.

    Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! Do not, I repeat DO NOT go there! They do have some pretty dresses but the service is horrible! I was measured and ordered size 0 but the this Ronia called me and told me i should wear 2 because my waist measures 25inches which is size 2, she said "your waist is not very small and when you sit down your butt gets bigger" I drove the next day in snowing weather for 45min to get remeasured. The consultant confirmed 0 and I told them to let her know I will keep 0 as I originally planned. That creature Ronia called me 2 weeks later screaming at me that I should have ordered 2 , that 0 will not fit me, that if I want 0 I have to pay extra for rush shipping $150 and it will get only 2 weeks before my wedding! I mean she was horrible! This place made me go crazy for weeks! I called and asked for the manager- they did not have one, I was told! I asked to speak with the owner- they did not let me, saying he is gone, or no such person?!?! Really!???? I kept 2 and I altered somewhere else! They even forgot the belt and had to wait another 2 weeks to get it! That place is a joke! save yourselves and go somewhere else!

    Terrible management - Stay Away!

    Eduardo told us the manufacturer did not make a veil we wanted. He ordered a different one for us after reassuring us multiple times that it would be the exact same length and fabric as the one we desired. It arrived, my mom picked it up on my behalf because I was living out of state, and when I moved back home a few weeks later, we opened it up to see that it was a completely different length and fabric than the one we desired. We easily found the veil we originally wanted on the manufacturer’s website (even though Eduardo said they didn’t make it). Eduardo even verbally admitted his mistake to us, which we appreciated. We just wanted to return it and order the one we wanted, but management wouldn’t give us a refund or take it back. Most importantly, the store owner is extremely condescending and verbally abusive. Cannot recommend. Stay away! I wish I had listened to all of the other negative reviews. My mom bought her dress here years ago so I ignored them and went to Eva’s anyway, but now I totally regret it! We did have a great experience dress shopping with Cindy, and we appreciated Eduardo’s integrity in admitting his mistake. It’s really so unfortunate the store owner lacks the integrity and basic customer service skills demonstrated by her employees.

    Unethical Business practices

    I wish that I could leave a zero for this company and their unscrupulous business practice.

    I went there to try on bridal dresses for my wedding in 2022. I found what I thought was the perfect dress. When I asked for the cost, Regina my attendant who was really nice, checked the tag and showed me the price. After we were done and I asked Regina to do the paperwork she came back and said the price on the dress was incorrect and that it was about $200 more and than what was written and they couldn’t honor the price on the tag. She said that they would give me a $400 discount if I put my deposit down that day. I figured, that was ok because the dress would still be lower than the original price, so it wasn’t a bad deal. She also said that to lock in the discount I would have to pay either 50% of the total cost now or $500 that day then remaining difference of the 50% by October 11.
    She said if I didn’t commit that day then I wouldn’t get the $400 so I opted to do the $500 plus the remaining 50% later. She said once I paid the deposit It would be non refundable however I could use the money as a store credit so I would not lose any money if I didn’t but the dress $500. I said ok I’ll make the $500 and I’ll pay the difference by the due date but it’s good to know that I would be able to get store credit.

    I didn’t make it in on the due date as planned. I got a voicemail from Regina saying that if I didn’t make the balance of the deposit they would be retracting the discount and also that the delivery of the dress would be affected and that I had until 8 pm that night to make the remaining balance. I didn’t get the voicemail until the next day. There wasn’t ever any mention of losing the discount if the deadline wasn’t met.

    Fast forward to today a month and 1/2 later, I called in to transfer my $500 credit to a friend that we recommended to their store to get her wedding gown. The person who answered said they would have to call me back. The owner (didn’t know she was at the time) called back To say that I had no credit and that when I didn’t make my payment by the due date, that I forfeited my deposit of $500 and they have no policy that states that they do store credit. She said that I’m assuming that they offer store credit and it clearly states no refunds in the contract that I signed. I have 3 persons that heard Regina say that I could get store credit towards anything in the store if I didn’t order the gown. I told her to go check her video cameras on that day because that’s what I was told. She’s refusing to give me a refund or credit. When I asked to speak to someone in charge she made it clear that there is no one higher than her because she’s the owner! Lucky me $500 down the drain and still don’t have a dress.

    They did absolutely nothing and they stole my money without remorse or any consideration of how hard i had to work for for my money. I basically paid $500 to try on dresses because that’s what it comes down to.

    I hope that future brides will read this review and pay close attention to the negative reviews that are left on the internet about this particular location. This company doesn’t deserve your support or money. I wish I had read all the negatives comments before I had set foot in their store.

    I wonder how many people they will continue to rip off before they get shut down and put out of business.

    I’ll never ever purchase anything or recommend their services to anyone. They’re the absolutely worst company I’ve ever had to deal with.

    Worst experience ever - 0 stars

    (Copied from my google review)
    Just read through the owner's responses to low rated reviews (on google) and that is the same quality of service you can expect to receive at this place. The owner is EXTREMELY combative, dishonest, and rude. I was flat out lied to about pricing directly from the manufacturer because they are out to nickel and dime you for all you are worth. (That's only the tip of the iceberg in how horrendous of an experience I had.) STAY AWAY! NOT WORTH THE STRESS TO DEAL WITH THIS C-YOU NEXT TUESDAY OF A LADY.

    If you are looking for a great bridal store in this area, one with top-notch service and a great selection, then I HIGHLY recommend the Crystal Bride in Geneva, IL. By far the best store, of the numerous I went to, across the state. Everyone working there was super helpful, informative, and kind. The store is gorgeous! And they really exceed all expectations to make your day special.

    Response to the owner's shameful response: Typical response from the owner. Blaming the customer for their shortcomings. If I did indeed show up late, it did nothing to affect your schedule because the appointment did not exceed the scheduled time. The saleswoman I was unfortunately put with, was flat out rude to my two bridesmaids that came with me. Apparently she couldn't "accommodate" them by being polite. There was zero intention to look at bridesmaid dresses for them, as I had those already picked out through a different store (thank goodness). If accommodating potential customers by providing decent customer service is too hard, then maybe you're in the wrong business. Also, there were maybe 3 other customers in the store, so you are very generously exaggerating the busyness of your morning that day. This entire reply is 100% laughable. I lowered my rating to 1 star after reading that. Good luck staying open.

    Original review: There is a reason for so many negative reviews. Personally my experience wasn't terrible, but the overall treatment towards my group during the appointment pushed me to go buy a dress from a different store. They do have a ridiculous amount of dresses, but unfortunately their attitude is just as ridiculous.

    Owner's response:
    Hi, Kalyn,
    Thank you for your review.
    You had a bridal appointment with us on 4/22 at 10:00 am. You showed up twenty minutes late on a very busy Saturday. We tried to service you as best as we could and it seems, from your review, you were pleased with our service. We apologize we could not accommodate your bridesmaids as well because it would have overlapped with the other appointments we had on schedule for the other brides. We could not afford to make them unhappy and late for their appointments.

    Furthermore, even though we service more than 300 brides a month, we are rated A+ with the BBB, 4 stars with The Knot, Wedding Wire and Google. We do our best to make every bride happy. We apologize again if we do not meet everyone's expectations. We will continue to try harder to offer the best experience to every bride who visits our salon.

    Cheaters! Dress came too small ( few sizes smaler) after 3 months which is very suspicious because Ive been told that I'll wait at least 6 months, but all the sudden it was ready after 3 months. I've been told that I gained weight, they wanted 400$ for alterations so I took it dress to my own seamstress she told me that dress was altered once already! Makes me think that dress was used or made for somebody else... Plus dress is made very cheaply all lace and pearls are stuck with GLUE!!!! I'm absolutely chocked Because I paid 1500$ Its a lot of money for me. And I can't believe it that all details on dress are stucked with glue! Seamstress showed me how easly are coming off! I wouldn't take a dress but I didn't want to loose a deposit. I'm so disappointed and I'm shock how they cheated me and how they tried to blackmail me saying that I CAN NOT come back for alterations if I'll take a dress and consult with different seamstress. Now I know why.......

    I had purchased my wedding dress from this company and I advise all brides to steer clear of this place. I started to feel uneasy about my purchase when I called to see if I could come in later that day to try on a sample of my dress and they said if I come in no one will help me put my dress on so then I told them I need to purchase my veil and then they told me I could come in at 5 when I did my dress was nowhere in sight not to mention there wasn't one customer in the place so I dont know why they said no one could help me in the first place. Bottom line I stood around there for an hour waiting for them to find my dress only for me to leave without even trying it on because they couldn't find it. I was trying to be understanding but then I was told at my dress fitting that my next fitting is my final fitting so I can just take it home then so I lined everything up with my maid of honor so that I can bring it home only to get to my final dress fitting and its not ready they are acting like they never told me that!ok whatever, I was still trying to be ok even though I felt in my heart this business is so unorganized it scares me. So I explained to them I will have my dad pick up my wedding dress the day BEFORE my wedding because that's what they insisted. When my dad gets there they tell him my dress isn't ready they thought I said Saturday. This is when I loose it. I let all the other stupid stuff go but now its the day before my wedding day and they still cant get things right. My dad had to wait an hour and it should've been ready when I was told it would be ready. You spend all this money and they do what they want they don't care. I inspected my dress when I get to the hotel only to notice there is numerous rips and holes in my wedding dress I took pictures that night and when I talked to the "manager" Linda she said there is nothing they can do I did it to my own dress she said its from a zipper even though the rips dont line up with the zipper. Disgusting

    I ordered my wedding dress from Evas Bridal International when they were first located on 183rd in Harlem Avenue in June of 2012. My dress was supposed to be delivered to the store on January 2013. It is now March 8, 2013 and my dress has still not yet arrived. When they moved from 183rd in Harlem to their new location on LaGrange I was never notified I only found out they had moved by passing by the store on 183rd in Harlem and I saw a moving truck and the entire store was empty. When I found them and went into the store in January to pickup my dress I was told that they had never ordered the dress. I called on March 1st, 2013 because again I didn't receive a phone call from Evas letting me know what was going on with my wedding dress I was then told it would be back by next week for sure. It is now Friday, March 8, 2013 and I still have not heard or received a telephone call from Evas Bridal International on LaGrange to say whether my dress has been delivered to the store yet. At this point I am devasted because every bridal store now advises me it is to late for me to order a new dress I can only purchase a sample dress off the floor. In concluding I must state also through all of this I have not received not one apology from anyone from the store. It appears I will have to buy a sample dress off the floor of another Bridal Store because my trust in Evas Bridal Internantional is nonexistence at this point. Beware Brides.
