This was the fourth store I shopped.... and let me tell you, I had the best experience here! Store was spacious, bright and everyone was friendly. Good selection even if you are not a size 6!

I cannot recommend The Dress Shop enough! After visiting several bridal stores and either not finding the right dress or not having the best experience, I decided to stop into The Dress Shop as my last store--just to see what they had. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcome and taken care of.
Although I'm sure all of their stylists are wonderful, I was incredibly lucky to work with Isabel, and I truly cannot give her enough praise. She was absolutely incredible. Isabel was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the gowns--fabric, designers, styles, silhouettes, details--you name it. She answered every question we had and made me feel reassured and completely comfortable, more than any other shop I visited (and I visited a good few!).
One thing I loved was how personal the experience felt. During my first consultation, Isabel asked about my (then) fiancé, how we met, and details about our wedding day. It truly felt like they cared about me and wanted to get to know my story. I honestly felt like I became friends with them! There was never an ounce of pressure. In fact, it was the opposite--they respected when I needed time to think and never made me feel rushed or questioned my decisions. It was such a refreshing, positive experience.
This shop--and especially Isabel--is genuinely at the very top of my list of wedding vendors. I've been excited to write this review since the day I bought my dress! Even after my dress purchase, I visited a few more times to look for a veil, jewelry, and accessories, and every single person I interacted with (front desk, phone calls, stylists) was so kind, encouraging, and helpful.
I found my dream dress, veil, and bracelet here, and the entire experience was something I'll cherish forever. If you're unsure where to go--especially if you've tried multiple stores like I did--please visit The Dress Shop. You will not regret it.

The Dress Shop was my first stop on day two of wedding dress shopping. I had already visited two stores the day before, and found a possible contender, but my experience here completely changed everything.

The entire process was so thoughtfully designed. Dress shopping can be overwhelming, but Olivia was incredible to work with - she was patient, intuitive, and asked the right questions to help me make confident decisions (not my strong suit!) without ever feeling pressured.

I ended up finding a dress that outshined the one from the day before. Still, I had one last appointment at one of the biggest bridal stores in Michigan, and I wanted to take it to either top this dress or confirm it was the one. The Dress Shop team was incredibly understanding and told me that if I called that day to say I was coming back, they’d keep the store open a little later so I could say yes to my dress.Sure enough, I did - and even then, I still wanted to sleep on my decision, and they let me put down a smaller deposit and call first thing Monday morning to finish up payment.

Their kindness, flexibility, and genuine support helped me find my dress - even without that instant “this is the one” moment. Plus, they recommended an amazing seamstress!

I had an amazing time at the dress shop. I highly recommend to any bride looking at dress shops to go here. Christy was absolutely amazing and made my experience perfect. I'm a bigger bride and didn't have any issues finding dresses to try on or that I loved. They only pulled in my budget and catered the dresses to what I liked. 10/10 recommend.

I had the best time shopping for my dress at The Dress Shop in Howell! This was the first shop I went to and working with Christy was amazing. She was so helpful and knowledgable. She also was so good at sharing the information in a way/at a time when it helped the most rather than just overwhelming me with everything all at once. She really helped me as I tried to figure out what I wanted in a dress. I didn't end up finding my dress here at my first visit and Christy actually followed up with me to see if there was anything else she could help with a week or so after my first appt. I shared that I was struggling to find the right dress for me as I had a style in mind that I couldn't really find at any nearby stores. She went above and beyond and searched for dresses she could get through the loaner program and found my dream dress! She had it shipped to the store and worked with me to find a time to come in and try it on and it was perfect! I am so in love with my dress and really cannot say enough good things about The Dress Shop, especially Christy! All of their dresses are so beautiful and everyone who works there is so thoughtful and they really care about helping you finding your perfect dress!

I had the BEST experience here! I worked with Olivia, and she was so helpful, patient, and fun to try on dresses with. I couldn't have asked for a better day, thank you for helping me find my dream dress!!

The dress shop made my experience awesome! I do not live in Michigan, but all of my family and my husband's does so I flew to MI for the holidays and decided to go shopping while there since it was easier for me to come to all of my family. I knew I wanted to find a dress that day and there and they made it happen. We were getting married in FL where we lived so that was another thing to consider. I had a long list of must have and must nots. The dress I selected was from their collection and I loved that I knew no one in FL would have this dress. I loved my dress and veil, I felt so beautiful :)

I can't say enough good things about my experience at TDS. It was an amazing experience. Carol and the consultant working with her (I unfortunately can't remember her name) were both amazing! They really took the time to listen to me and my entourage and brought amazing recommendations after we did our initial shopping. They were so patient as I kept re-trying dresses to find THE dress. There was no pressure to find THE dress, even though I had told them I intended to find it that day and was getting close to crunch time for ordering lead time. I am a plus size bride, so I was very nervous to go dress shopping. Carol especially was wonderful at making sure that I felt confident and comfortable. It was definitely an empowering experience and I am so excited to get and wear my dress. We were expecting to have to exceed the budget, but the consultants were very conscious of our budget including potential alteration costs when bringing dress options. They even called to cancel my afternoon appointment at another salon for me, so I didn't have to have the awkward conversation myself.

Carol was brilliant! I went to 5 bridal shops before coming here, and this by far was the best overall in EVERY area. I HIGHLY recommend The Dress Shop to all future brides!

Beautiful shop with so many options, and the staff is so helpful! They make sure it truly is an amazing dress shopping experience
