Outstanding

This shop is not to be missed. A very friendly low pressure salon. They are willing to help you find your dress without talking you into a high dollar choice. It was fun and very easy. Don’t skip it.

A lovely boutique, THE Dress !!

The ladies were so helpful and fun. I had a lovely time with my mother trying on wedding dresses. And I said YES to THE Dress!

The ladies allowed me so much time when I was in between 2 dresses. I found my dress quickly due to the amazing selection they had with great prices. So thankful I came here. Thank you again!!!

No Pressure!

Julia was fantastic! I had been a bit uncomfortable at a few other places I had been because I felt like the staff was pressuring me a bit to settle on a dress I didn’t love. I never felt any of that pressure here! Julia is great at what she does, and if she says she has an idea GO WITH IT! She came out with a dress that I might not have picked out for myself but I tried it on anyway and it was perfect!! You don’t want to miss out of your perfect dress just because it isn’t what you thought you wanted!

Julia is a gem

I had an EXCELLENT experience at The Dress. I had been to three other places in search of a gown prior to my appointment at The Dress, and I just hadn’t found, well, The Dress. The shop is very comfortable and tidy, but what I loved most are the people. Julia made me feel so comfortable and gave just the right balance of guidance and space for me to contemplate dresses, and her mother was also very kind. After striking out on all my previous shopping outings, I didn’t have much hope that I would walk away less confused, let alone with a dress. But I found a dress I love! I’m an indecisive person, and I so appreciate how patient Julia was while my mother, friends, and I discussed the merits of the dress so I could feel really sure before pulling the trigger. I would highly recommend any brides in the area check out The Dress.

The best experience!

I had such a good time finding my dress here! They were very patient and great at figuring out my style even down to the veil and accessories! They also gave good suggestions and opinions on alterations and add ons. I’m so happy I decided to go here It was the best out of all other shops around. I had a great experience! Thanks so much!

Go see them!

The staff was so nice and so funny. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me into every dress. She not once got agitated after how many dresses I tried on. I HIGHLY recommend.

Say yes to “The Dress”

The Dress is organized, elegant, and so helpful! They have a wide range of styles and prices so any bride can find the perfect dress. They helped me put on each dress, answered all my questions, and made me feel so comfortable. There was no rushing or pressure to get through all the dresses I picked out to try on. I’m so glad I said yes to the dress here!

I appreciated being able to shop and get customer service/assistance when needed but also allowed to shop the available dresses alone. I personally get very turned off to a pushy, sales person vibe and it was the perfect balance of being there to help in any way but also allowing me to browse on my own to find the style I liked.
Dresses available are fantastic, priced right, with great staff. This store should have 100s of locations in my opinion!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
