    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.

    Amazing!!!!

    I had an amazing experience at Carmen!!! The staff was so friendly and made me feel so welcomed and comfortable! They have a wide selection of dresses and know which dress is a better fit for any body type! I told them the type of dress I wanted (sparkle and BLING) and they delivered! They added a layer under my dress that made my whole dress sparkle in the right lighting!! They altered my dress to fit like a glove! They really made the experience one of a kind and gave us champagne and celebrated when I found the perfect dress!!! Thank you for all you have done to make my wedding dress absolutely amazing!

    Carmen's is the best place for a wedding dress!

    Carmen's Fashion Bridal is the best place in the area to get a wedding gown. I looked at at several places, but Carmen's was by far the one with the best selection and prices. The staff went above and beyond to help me find a dress within my budget. They were very honest and didn't oversell. Once we found the perfect dress they did all the alterations there and they made sure it was perfect! They really helped me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I would recommended Carmen's to everyone looking for a beautiful wedding dress at a great price!

    OMG these ladies are AMAZING. One on one attention on you finding the dress that you absolutely love! I had to get this dress while living across the country and only had a few chances to see it before my big day but it fit PERFECTLY. Magdalena makes you feel like family, and they make your day extra special.

    These ladies know dresses. After looking over a few place I found the dress, and to alter it a little to make it exactly what I wanted and they made it happen. They helped double check the alteration and make sure that I was comfortable in the dress. They are a great local business and I couldn't be happier to support them.

I highly recommend them to any bride who is looking for top notch service, speedy alterations and to a bride who not just wants a ordinary dress shop, but one that treats you like family every time you enter through the doors. Thank you for helping me have my dream wedding!! xoxo

    I had the most phenomenal experience purchasing my wedding dress through Carmen Fashions. They offer a wide range of dresses to meet anyone's need. They offer FREE alterations and they have top notch staff to ensure that your dress will fit perfectly. Madalena and Mary-Jo were a blast to work with. They made picking my dress easy and helped me find the dress that made for one stunning bride ;) I would recommend Carmen Fashions to anyone looking for a wedding dress. They are true professionals in the business!

    Carmen's Bridal made me feel like their only customer and they valued my business. I found my wedding dress there and it is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. They did a beautiful job with the alteration and were extremely personal throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Carmen's to any bride looking for the "one" dress.

    Carmen's Fashions was amazing! From the moment I walked in, they helped me feel at ease and I never felt pressured to buy the first dress I tried on, unlike a few other places I had been to before. I was looking for a specific dress and although they didn't have exactly what I was looking for, they were able to find something from the same designer in a similar style that I fell in love with. I found my perfect dress there. My bridesmaids dresses and 2 Maid of honor dresses were spectacular. They accommodated my out of town bridesmaids which made the process much easier not only me, but for my bridesmaids as well. Also, they were super accommodating with my mom after we had a huge issue with another store that didn't order my moms dress and only told me 2 weeks before my wedding. They found a dress that my mom fell in love with and they did everything to make sure that the dress was perfect. Honestly, save yourself time and energy and consider getting everyone's dresses here. You won't be disappointed.

    I would highly recommend Carmen Fashions to any bride that I meet. I had a wonderful experience when purchasing my wedding gown. My bridesmaids also came here to purchase their dresses and had a wonderful experience as well. The staff at Carmen's is absolutely amazing. They have wonderful customer service skills and were so kind and accommodating. Mary Jo helped me the day that I picked out my dress. She was so sweet and patient with me, and offered great advice. The seamstress at Carmen's is amazing and does beautiful work. All of our dresses looked gorgeous. Carmen's has a great selection of dresses to choose from, and all of their gowns are stunning. I ended up saying yes to the first dress that I tried on and the staff opened up a bottle of champagne for us. It was an amazing moment that I will always remember. Carmen's also offers free alterations, which is great and rare! The cost of their gowns is very reasonable. I really cannot say enough good things about Carmen's, I would highly recommend them!

    I can't say enough good things about my experience at Carmen Fashions. My mom and I ended up here on a total whim one rainy afternoon (and after spending countless hours trying on dozens of dresses at boutiques all over New England). We walked into this unassuming storefront and were warmly welcomed into the bridal fitting room. Each dress I put on was better than the last and on dress number four, I said yes! The staff popped champagne and my mom and I got to share a "cheers" in my chosen gown! It was such a magical moment. Alterations are included in the dress price (amazing and so rare!) and the fittings were all so fun. I got to know the ladies in the store and it was the highlight of my wedding planning experience when I got to stop in to try on my gorgeous dress. They even hand-made a belt for me when they couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted! I will recommend Carmen's to every bride I meet.

    I tried on thirty dresses before going to Carmen's Fashions. As soon as I stepped into the store I knew that I was going to find my dream dress there. The staff were friendly and unbelievably helpful. After about fifteen minutes we found the dress of my dreams and it was at an affordable price. Because of my amazing experience, I even bought all of my bridesmaids dresses there and my mothers dress. All of the alterations were perfect and the staff were very accommodating. I already recommended a friend who also found her wedding dress there. Just a perfect experience.

    Carmen's Fashions is a hidden treasure.
    The first time I went shopping for my wedding dress I visited Carmen's without having an appointment, and Mary Jo took care of me and made me feel like a princess. She showed me several gowns and made me try on one I was not very convinced of... I absolutely loved it... in fact, that ended up being my wedding dress!! These women really know what they're doing!
    Every single time I went back Mary Jo and Madalena treated me like family. They really take the time to make you feel special, and this is something I didn't find in other bridal shops I went to.
    They also helped me find a veil that matched my gown beautifully... and Isabel, the seamstressmade a wonderful job.
    I couldn't be more happy with the end result! It was perfect and just as I envisioned it.
    On top of all that, all alterations are included in the price!
    I highly recommend this hidden gem

    I think Carmen Fashion is one of those hidden gems. I was initially underwhelmed by the selection and the accommodations of the building. However, Tatiana really pulled some beautiful dresses especially from Allure Bridal dresses. I put a hold on a dress that my family and bridal party loved. I just wasn’t ready to commit, therefore, I will likely go back and try the dress on again. Tatiana was wonderfully kind, fresh, positive and most of all has a great eye for what looks good on a bride. I also want to say that their service is super accommodating. I was thinking of putting a cap sleeve on a dress I tried on. The seamstress immediately came up and put together a sample on the spot. It was simply amazing. I highly recommend brides to go and they will be pleasantly surprised.

    Loved this place... got my wedding dress almost a year ago today (first place I went, tried about 10 dresses and found my dress!) They were awesome... what I thought I wanted I hated and I don't like to shop so I was very disappointed and nervous.... but they picked out some dresses for me along with my family and I found it!!!! ♡ well they told me to try my dress on and that was it!!!!!

    Wedding dress shopping is difficult when you have no idea what you kind of dress you're looking for and that was exactly my problem. I tried on a bunch of dressed at many other bridal shops and nothing really caught my eye. The minute I stepped into Carmen's I was absolutely blown away by the selection they carried and the service I got. MaryJo knows her dresses. I had no idea what I was looking for and she picked out some dresses for me and was extremely patient. After a few dresses I was still very indecisive but she pulled one more dress that had just come in. An Allure couture dress. And that was it! The perfect dress! I tried it on and instantly fell in love. She paired it with the perfect tiara and veil and a flower clip for the reception. The seamstress was awesome. She does flawless work. Everyone here was so friendly and helpful. Carmen's is definitely the place you want to go for all your dress needs especially a wedding dress!

    I shopped around other stores and the service had no comparison to the ladies at Carmen's Fashion. Their professionalism, helpfulness, and care tops all bridal stores. I am so happy that I said yes to the dress with Carmen's Fashion. They are the best! Thanks!

    I got my wedding dress here and also my bridesmaids dresses. I had a certain vision for my dress, and had gone to a few different places but Madelina was the only one willing to help me create the dress that I wanted. She went above and beyond and she had Casablanca take a top of another dress and put it on the bottom to one of their dresses. Madelina understood what my vision was so well that she actuallly picked out the bridesmaid dresses too! All the ladies there made this process so easy. I would recommend them in a heart beat!!

    I am so happy I purchased my gown through Carmen's! I went in with a style in mind and Mary Jo found dresses that matched what I envisioned. When I found some I liked, but were our of my price range, she went to the back and found dresses that had been discontinued, in my size and in the style I liked. I found my dream dress for $500 and it fit wonderfully! I went back for my fittings just before the wedding and everything went great. I would absolutely recommend Carmen's when purchasing your wedding gown!

    The people at Carmen's were rockstars!! I had only 2 bridesmaids living in the area and 3 living in Florida and England. The 2 bridesmaids from England had their first fitting on the Tuesday and picked up their dresses ready to go on the Thursday and our wedding was the Friday. Also the Florida bridesmaid had a hem issue but they fixed it and we picked up the dress the day of the wedding no problems. I was very happy and felt comfortable there with all the girls they went above and beyond to make sure all the girls were fitted properly and in a timely fashion considering the limited time frame they were given. They also did my mom's dress and did a great job. I recommend them to anyone!!

    The girl that helped me out was Monica. She is such a sweet girl. To lay it all out there, my dress did not fit. It wasn't their fault, it was mine. They completely worked with me. They were encouraging, not judging. I was so upset and they were uplifting and made me feel better. I am so glad I picked them to work with. All the girls and even the seamstresses were so wonderful. They really catered to my needs. I ended up getting everything from them. I specially ordered my shoes. They have so many to choose from! I loved the designs of Mary's Bridal, and Carmens has their dresses. I ended up with a beautiful dress that fit thanks to their encouragement.
    Carmen Fashions have been around for a long time. They have many great designers. My girls ended up with a dress that looked beautiful on all of their different body shapes. When comparing prices, they are kind of all the same, so the attitudes and desire to help of the staff is key when picking a dress attire place. I had a wonderful experience with/at Carmen Fashions and I would definately recommend them to all brides.

    First of all, alterations are included in the dress price which is great. They have designer names and work really well with your budget. And they have been so great and patient with me for my wedding and party. (And they know how to handle bride moms, very important). Oh! And they are not about the sales like some people. They don't rush or pushy at all.

    You may walk into the store and think it looks a bit dated, but really you don't need a glamorous store to find the right dress. You need a friendly and experienced consultant who can pick your shape and has dresses that will do just that. Madalena was so nice and made me feel comfortable and could tell instantly what I liked and didn't like when I put on a dress. I was really happy with my dress and wished I had gone to her first, especially after I had just come from another store that was just not giving the personal touch service.

    This boutique has very helpful, attentive staff that will bend over backwards to give you what you want. Sadly, their selection is a bit small, and the appearance of the shop and fitting room is dated and cluttered.

    I purchased an Allure bridal gown from Carmen's and was really pleased with the service I received. I had called with an interest in this particular gown to see if the shop would be able to order it. After calling I went to the shop in person and the staff had already called to find out the price and how soon they could get the dress shipped. Madelena and the other staff members were warm, friendly and patient - answering questions over email and in person. Adelia, the seamstress of the shop, did a fantastic job altering the gown to fit my proportions and flatter my figure. I would highly recommend this shop to brides, mothers and bridesmaids in search of great designers, high-quality alterations and exceptional service.

    Perfect Bridal Gown! - Altercations can be iffy

    I went to multiple places looking for a wedding dress before saying “Yes to the dress” at Carmen Fashions. I was not pressured into buying the dress that day, in fact went back for a second time before saying “YES”. The dress took a while to come in, however, was worth the wait upon the arrival. The alterations came with the purchase of the dress and was altered in the store. I went for 3 dress fittings prior to bringing the dress home the week of the wedding. The alterations for my wedding dress were done seamlessly and the bustle was done beautifully. I felt like such a princess in my gown and never wanted to take it off on my wedding day.
    Since I had a positive experience at Carmen’s, I had my bridesmaids order their dresses from there. Just like the wedding gown, the alterations were included in the price of the dress. However, the alterations for the bridesmaids were done by a different seamstress than the bridal gowns. My bridesmaids did experience some headaches throughout their process. Each bridesmaid needed to go back 2-3 times for their gowns. Even after going back 2-3 times, 3 out of 6 bridesmaids needed to take their dresses to another seamstress to further complete the alterations THE WEEK OF the wedding. It seemed as if they did not have experience with those who are bigger in size or those with large breasts. When going to another seamstress, they had no issues with taking the dresses in and getting them to fit correctly around the bust area.
    One other downfall that I would like to notate is their scheduling / ordering system. Everything is handwritten and not saved electronically. We experienced multiple mishaps that may have been avoided if they were more organized. Overall, I’d still recommend this bridal shop for wedding gowns!! I am confident I found the perfect dress for my wedding day!

    Great little place. Madeline is wonderful as are the other ladies. I bought my dress there for the service. I felt very comfortable with them and their expertise compared to other shops where you're treated like a dollar sign. They truly try to make you as happy as can be.

    If you are looking to buy a wedding dress, BM dresses, and dresses for your moms at a store that delivers personal and friendly service by experienced staff who care about making your wedding day perfect, then I suggest you go to Carmen Fashions. After going to a few other bridal gown retailers with very little success, I decided to make an appointment at Carmen Fashions. I had been a MOH in a wedding in which the bride had gone to Carmen Fashions for her and the girls' gowns several years ago and had a great experience then.so I figured I'd give them a try. I went in with pictures of a few different styles that I liked but also had an open mind. Mary Jo was amazing! She picked out dresses that fit the criteria I gave her and that were within my budget. There was one dress that I absolutely loved, however, it had this beading on the top of the bust that completely ruined the dress for me and it did not have the straps and buttons I wanted. This was not a problem for Carmen Fashions though. Mary Jo told me that she could order the dress without the beading and that they could add the straps and buttons I wanted. She made me feel comfortable and confident that this could be my one of a kind perfect wedding gown. And I'm so glad I trusted her and said yes to the dress! When it came in without the beading, I knew I had picked the right dress and with a few alterations appointments, it was exactly the dress I had envisioned. Not only did my gown come out perfect, the girls dresses were amazing! The alterations were done very well and the dresses couldn't have fit them better. The moms also had a wonderful experience and that is saying a lot especially since my mom isn't one for shopping let alone gown shopping. But the ladies at Carmen Fashions made it so easy and fun shopping for dresses! I can't thank Carmen Fashions enough for all the work they did on my dress, the girls' dresses and the moms' dresses. And I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else but there!

    I purchased my wedding gown & my bridesmaids dresses from Carmen's. They came recommended to me and I would recommend them to anyone. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have all different sizes in their shop to try on at all different price points. The best selling point for them is that there is no additional charge for alterations! Most other shops can't say that.

    Unprofessional

    This was my first experience and it was a free for all. She was picking dresses double my price range and the lady told me don’t worry about it, my mom will help me. Very odd because I have never met her before, very unprofessional and pushy.

    I went there to pick out my dress in August and the women were wonderful and very helpful. My dress came in the last week of April for my wedding in June. They didn't measure me correctly so my wedding dress was too short when I went for my first fitting the first week of May. After my grandmother suggested adding fabric to the bottom that was similar to the under layer in the back, the seamstress did a good job of adding over an inch of fabric to the bottom to make it work but it was no longer my dream dress and I did not receive an apology which was disappointing. One of my straps also came apart at the seems while I was greeting my guests at the reception, it had to be sewn back together by a cousin during the reception so I could dance.

    Deceptive, dishonest, unprofessional, and unorganized.

    Do not step foot into this store. In October 2019 They pressured me into "saying yes" based on promised alterations without verifying with the designer or a seamstress that the alterations were possible. I made it clear I did not like the dress without those alterations. I was there the last two hours they were open and reluctantly proceeded with a deposit. I didn't feel comfortable and called almost immediately after leaving the store on my drive home and requested they not proceed with the order and refund my deposit. There was no contract provided/signed, I didn't feel they were reputable, and feared they couldn't guarantee the dress could have those alterations. They refused to return my deposit, never placed an order with Kitty Chen, and have held my deposit. They also took a picture of me trying the dress, which I never gave permission of, and posted it to their social media. They threatened to call their lawyers if I wrote an honest review online of my experience (which is illegal for them to do.) Then told me I could have store credit. As a business owner, why would you ever think a customer would feel comfortable to continue doing business with your store after you threatened them? My receipt shows I was their only transaction of the day on a Saturday, which in itself is a red flag. They will say anything to take your money and don't care if they are ruining your once in a lifetime experience as a bride. Truly devastated and fully regret I ever went into their store. 5 Months later I have zero products from their store, no dress order, and they still have my $1,160. My mom and fiance also called to try and reason with them. We even offered to cover the CC transaction fee it cost them to run my card if they would just refund the balance since no dress had been ordered, and they lost no money on this. They constantly just hang up on us when we call---again, so much for their store credit offer? Please stay away from Carmen Fashions Bridal and don't make the same mistake. They are desperate for a sale and don't care about anything else or who they hurt to get it.

    Horrible experience.

    Brides beware of ordering same size as the sample... you may be getting an old dress, for full cost
    The dress was dirty inside and out. I tried to be patient and kind, and they simply was in defense mode. They didn't care about me, or my big day.
    Could not do business with dishonest people. Went elsewhere. As they couldn't produce any type of proof that it was in fact a new dress. How they could keep my deposit and not even flinch is beyond me. I work hard for my money and they did nothing to earn it, and just keep it. Please be smart and careful.
