Courtney is the kindest and most knowledgable person to alter your wedding dressI bought my dress in NYC but wanted alterations in the Philadelphia area to reduce the travel time; I searched for places that would not only be affordable but trustworthy, even though I really only needed basic alterations (hem, take in waist, and bustle). Lo and hold, The Dress Matters has a flat-rate alterations package for those 3 things and also has an angel of a seamstress, Courtney! (Just note that there is a small fee for dresses bought elsewhere, added to the flat-rate of the alterations package) I had 3 appointments with her before taking my dress home, and I was blown away at every appointment when she explained all details of what she did or planned to do. She was meticulous and wanted to make sure that there was nothing out of place when I stood, sat down, and walked around in my dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better seamstress to alter my dress and make it a seamless experience. Pick Courtney - you won’t regret it!

I’m so glad I decided to get my dress from here. They were very accommodating and have gorgeous dresses. Thank you again!!

I loved my experience with The Dress Matters! They were very helpful in finding several options within my (lower) budget. Despite being a small shop they had a wide variety of dress styles. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and patient.

I cannot thank The Dress Matters for helping me select my dream dress for my wedding. It was gorgeous, vintage and fit our Great Gatsby theme. Everyone loved the dress! If you want a one of a kind dress, by exclusive designers, then come here! They are very professiona,l, very attentive and their alterations person is a sweetheart!

I had originally gone to The Dress Matters because I saw a designer that I was interested in was having a trunk sale there one weekend. I tried on about 8 dresses, and bought one of them for $200 off because of the trunk sale, so my dress was a steal for under $1000! Debbie and the seamstress Courtney have been such a pleasure to work with, and Courtney made some alterations to create my dream dress! The only minor issues I had is it's such a small shop with limited parking, that I sometimes parked across the street on a side street and that I had to store the wedding dress at my house.

Affordable. I took advantage of a “March Madness” sale they had...$200 off a $1000 dress or more. The consultant was wonderful and the place, though small, had a lot of character. I am glad I went with a local small business for my dress instead of a franchise. My dress is beautiful and its perfect for me. I can’t wait until alterations and my wedding day. A shout out to The Dress Matters for accommodating me with a walking boot (I fractured my ankle a few weeks ago).

The Dress Matters staff were all wonderful! They helped me find my perfect gown! I was able to purchase my dream dress on the first day of dress shopping! I did alterations with them as well which was convenient for me.

They are the first shop that I went to when searching for dresses! I emailed the owner a few days before looking for a specific dress to see if they had it. They did not but she emailed the designer and got it in for me! That is going above and beyond if you Ask me! When I got there I tried on a few different dresses but knew the one I wanted! I am so happy I have gone to the dress matters!

The Dress Matters is a quaint and lovely boutique that truly pays special attention to the needs and wants of the bride. It was my second stop during my dress shopping experience and I found my dress in minutes! The consultants were all very sweet and welcoming. They even helped me find my bridesmaids' dresses in the same visit. Although that part was not planning nor scheduled, they never rushed me or pressured me into decision-making. I would recommend the Dress Matters to any bride who wants a comfortable, relaxing, and fun dress shopping experience!

Even though I didn't purchase my wedding dress from The Dress Matters, that did not effect the quality and care they took to make my dress look amazing! I looked like a princess thanks to this awesome team. I also found my bridesmaid dresses there, and they arrived so quickly and were a great price! Check this place out, you won't regret getting your dress from there!
