Amazing wish i could give an 100/10


This place is truly a hidden gem! ✨ I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Maria and the other lovely lady who helped me (I didn’t catch her name). They made me feel so beautiful, so heard, and so special. I loved everything I tried on, and the whole experience was exactly what I dreamed of as a little girl.

They went above and beyond, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this place I tell everyone to come here! 💕

Wonderful Staff and selections

The staff at Carmens Fashions were excellent. Right down to the seamstress. I had 2 weddings and the staff helped me step by step. They were very accommodating, knowledgeable, and patient. They listened to my ideas and help me create 2 dresses in a timely manner. The prices are the best. You can't beat the value. I would definitely go back to Carmens in the future.

Wonderful!

Mary-Jo and the staff were wonderful to work with- so kind, patient and accommodating! They helped me choose a beautiful Cosmobella dress and matching veil. Alterations were in-house which made the process that much easier. I cannot recommend Carmen Fashions enough for anyone looking for a wedding dress!

Dream Dress!

I found my dream dress at Carmen’s! After many trips and failed visits at other places, my mom and I one day popped into Carmen’s. Best decision I ever made. The staff is so kind and patient. They take time to get to know you as a person and they remember you each visit! I bought my dress and veil here and I couldn’t have been more please. Alterations were done in house which was a big relief. The women at Carmen’s are so professional. They really know what they are doing and have a great selection to choose from!

Excellent Experience!

I was so happy with my experience from start to finish at this shop. They had designers/dresses that other bridal stores I called did not have. The staff was amazing from the sales people to the seamstress and made what could have been a very stressful experience comfortable and easy. When I bought my dress it included alterations in the price and I could not be more pleased with how my dress fit and looked when I picked it up for my wedding! I would highly recommend this shop for any bride who wants a more personal experience when dress shopping.

My dress was amazing and fit perfectly

I don’t even know where to begin with Carmens. I found my wedding dress here on the first appointment I made. They were so helpful and made me feel comfortable. My dress fit like a glove!!! It was strapless so I was nervous but the assured me it would not move all night and it didn’t. The bridesmaid dresses were beautiful and they made the girls feel so comfortable. One of my bridesmaids had a baby and they had to put a whole extra piece of her dress and you could not even tell! They even helped my mom out who was not happy with her experience at another place and they made sure her dress fit perfectly as well.

The most personal and understanding experience ever!!!

The ladies that work at Carmen Fashions are amazing!
I went to other bridal shops before them and I felt pushed and just felt part of an assembly line. I was so overwhelmed! When I got to Carmens they made me feel so amazing and took everything I said into account. Also, they were super understanding.
My mother wasn’t able to be there for when I said yes to my dress. I happened to pick a trunk dress that was just a sample for the new year and had to be shipped back to the makers. When I called to ask if I can try on the dress for my mom, they were able to hold onto to the dress for me so that my mom was able to see me in it. They made it just as special the first time when I said yes to the dress. My mom was so happy... lots of tears. 🙌🙌
These ladies put a lot of time and effort to make you happy.

The dress was incredible! I’m obsessed! I felt like a magical bride! It fit me so well! Amazing job!
Due to corona I had my ceremony this year and having the reception next year. So I’m hoping to wear it twice.
Because of the complications... these wonderful ladies offered help with alterations and storage if I need it. Wow!
I’m so blessed to have found this place.

You won’t be disappointed!

Undivided Attention

I had a great experience with CF and would absolutely recommend Madalena, MaryJo, and seamstress Natalie.
I have a very busy schedule and I was always able to get an appointment. I really appreciate the attention I received and we were on a first name basis. They were very patient and kind and made sure I was happy at all times. I requested a cape to go with my dress and they ordered it without hesitation. I absolutely loved my dress and seamstress Natalie added off the shoulder sleeves. Weddings are expensive and the alterations were free. They were wonderful to work with.
