A Touch of Class Bridal

Had an amazing time with the ladies! They truly are like shopping with your best friend and provide great quality work and service.

Stayed the night in town on my way back down to LA, decided to stop in and see if I could just look around for ideas. These ladies were more than willing to allow me to look around and tag dresses I liked despite not having appointments available for the rest of the day. I found a few I liked but was not expecting to be able to try them on. These ladies went above and beyond, having finished their last appointment early, and were able to offer the opportunity to try the dresses I chose on as well as offer suggestions based on my responses. This bridal experience was one out of a dream: comfy seating and luxurious looking curtains to provide a grand reveal moment were the two aspects which stood out to my party. I left the store extremely satisfied with my experience. After discussing the experience, having "this is my dress" moment, and amazing deal they were offering (dress was almost 50% off!!), my group and I decided to come back the following day before we left town to purchase the dress! The staff recognized me immediately when I returned and were overjoyed to for me to go home with my ultimate dress.

I went from casually stopping in a store to glance at dresses to going home with my dress in hand in less than 24 hours, 10/10 experience!

COVID-19: the store provided white gloves to wear while browsing the racks (machine washed after use), required masks to be worn at all times in the store, and sanitized each dressing area meticulously between parties.

Today, I said YES to the dress! I found this place because I saw a dress I loved on Pinterest— a beautiful Kenneth Winston gown. I contacted the designer and asked where I could buy this dress. The designer told me A Touch of Class carries their line and they would be able to get a loaner dress shipped to the store for me. I called A Touch of Class and left a message, and Judy called be back shortly after. She said she could order the loaner dress for $75, a portion of which I would have gotten back if I had ended up buying that dress. Judy told me she carried a lot of dresses and had quite a few that were similar to the one that I liked on Pinterest. She encouraged to need to come in and try some dresses on and said that she’s had girls in the past do that and end up not even needing to order the loaner. I had only been to one other retailer to try dresses on and did not have a very good experience, so I was hoping this would be different. I did a lot of online shopping, but knew I needed to try some dresses on. So I made an appointment and went in today with my mom and cousin. Judy and her partner, Lindsay, run the store, with Judy’s husband Rick also helping out. Rick greeted us and gave us tags that we used to mark dresses I wanted to try on while Judy finished up an appointment. The store was not huge, but rather intimate with so many dresses neatly lined up on racks. The store was nicely and comfortably decorated and laid out. It took us about 20 minutes to look through all the dresses and tag the ones we wanted to try on. The curtained dressing area was big with full-length mirrors and a pedestal step, with comfortable chairs placed outside. Judy helped me get into all of my dresses and was so knowledgeable about every dress in the store. She was knowledgeable about the designers, the styles, and any possible alterations or changes. She told me pretty much any changes I wanted could be made to any dress. That helped me feel more excited about dress shopping, which had honestly been a very overwhelming and stressful process for me until I went into A Touch of Class. Judy had a very good idea of what I was looking for after seeing the dresses I picked out. She was amazing and shared anecdotes from other brides (she calls her customers her “girls”) and background about her, Rick, and the store. We had fun chatting and trying on dresses. The dress I ended up choosing was NOTHING like the dresses I had been looking at. She told me she had been walking past the dress I ended up with to put other dresses away during my appointment and three different times she thought: “she needs to try that dress on,” but she kept telling herself that it was not what I was looking for. Finally, she asked my mom and cousin what they thought and said she wanted to see me in it because she thought it would be very flattering to my figure. I tried the dress on for fun, but ended up absolutely loving it! It is so beautiful and elegant with very exquisite, beautiful lace. I absolutely love it. I told Judy she is “The Dress Whisperer.” She called Rick and Lindsay over to come see me in the dress, as well. Judy and Rick are wonderful people, very kind and friendly with great senses of humor. Lindsay is also a very sweet lady. I really appreciate them all so much and just felt so comfortable there— like family. I had such a wonderful and perfect experience today and I’m so happy that I found a dress and that I absolutely love dress that I picked. I have been floating on a cloud all day after that appointment. Not only do they have a great variety of dresses here without being overwhelming like some other bridal retailers, but the prices are so reasonable. Many of the dresses are actually discounted, and Judy was kind enough to put a small discount on my dress even though it was not one of the ones that was marked down. They also sell men’s suits and tuxedos for very reasonable prices and prom, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride gowns. I am so happy and cannot recommend A Touch of Class enough.
