never go here - stay away from this place

I had a terrible experience at Dimitri Designs while trying on wedding dresses. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt uninviting, and the staff, especially Cheryl, was extremely rude. Unlike other bridal shops I’ve visited where I was treated with care and attention, Cheryl made me feel uncomfortable the entire time. She didn’t assist me with the dresses at all and made me put on everything myself. Worse, she kept shaming me for how skinny I was and complained about how much they had to clip each dress to fit me. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. At other bridal shops, I had a consultation beforehand where they asked about my wedding, my fiancé, the dresses I liked, and the venue to get a sense of what I wanted. At Dimitri Designs, Cheryl didn’t listen to anything I said. She just grabbed random dresses, ignoring my preferences completely. Her attitude was unpleasant throughout, and I felt like she didn’t want us there at all. The whole experience was so uncomfortable that I ended up leaving early. I’ve had much better experiences elsewhere, and I would not recommend Dimitri Designs to anyone looking for a welcoming, supportive, or professional bridal shopping experience.

Wonderful Experience

I didn’t exactly have in mind what I wanted when I went in. Jonathan did a great job of helping me figure out what I liked and didn’t. He found the perfect dress! It was so beautiful!

The worst ever!

This is the worst place ever. I paid $580 for my daughters prom dress. Paid an additional 180 for alterations. Went to pick it up and they had altered the straps too tight. Which wasn’t a big deal, the OWNER came over to speak with me and when I asked what we were going to do to fix it, her response was as … “ are you a seemstress,” and when I replied no, she told me I shouldn’t worry about it then.. and proceeded to tell me when she drops her car off with a mechanic she doesn’t question them because she knows nothing about cars… DO NOT SHOP here! She is rude and unprofessional
