    Pick Courtney as your seamstress - you won’t regret it!

    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!

    The Dress Matters's reply:

    Thank you for the great review! You are beautiful! We are so happy you loved the alterations done by Courtney.

    Wonderful experience

    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).

    Great Service

    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.

    The Dress Matters's reply:

    Thank you so much Jaclyn! We are so glad you found your dress at The Dress Matters and had a great experience. Thanks again for the awesome feedback.

    My dream dress

    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.

    The Dress Matters's reply:

    Thank you Anna! You were gorgeous in your dress. I am glad that we helped you find the one. It was a pleasure to work with you. Best wishes to you and your husband.

    They are amazing.

    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!

    Wonderful experience

    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!

    They helped me find my perfect gown

    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.

    Best Experience; loved my dress!

    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!

    Amazing boutique!

    The Dress Matters is a tiny boutique but I found my dress! It was my first time trying on dresses and they were so helpful and pushed me out of my comfort zone which I definitely needed!! I only had to try on four dress before I said yes!

    I had a great experience at The Dress Matters. Staff was helpful and allowed me to take pictures. They did not pressure me and offered a lot of great tips for changing a dress. I highly recommend.

    This was the 4th dress shop I went to and by far the most personable! Everyone was so nice and helpful especially since I couldn't decide between 4 dresses! This store had exactly the style of dress I was looking for and for an amazing price. I highly recommend The Dress Matters!

    The staff, and overall experience, here is worth it. The staff treats you like family and the dress selection is beautiful. If you are looking for that one-on-one experience than look no further. I would recommend this boutique to any bride for bridal or bridesmaids dresses.

    I went to The Dress Matters for alterations. It was simple to schedule an appointment. I worked with Mehta and she was wonderful! I brought in a strapless dress that needed to be taken in slightly. I had also bought some additional lace and brought it to the appointment with the intention of making straps for the dress. Mehta took my idea and made it even better! The dress came out amazing and the alterations survived the entire wedding, dancing and all. Mehta made the experience great as she was able to give suggestions without being critical and taught me how to wear the dress comfortably and move easily. I would highly recommend working with her for alterations!

    The Dress Matters provided me with the most magical wedding experience. The store appears tiny from the outside, but the second I walked in, I was in awe of the dresses around me. They were unlike anything I had seen anywhere else, with the most beautiful elegant dresses (including beading and lace). Each was more gorgeous than the next. I was also AMAZED by the price. They were high quality and completely affordable.

    As I chose my dress, my sales consultant chose items that made me feel beautiful and not once did I feel discouraged. I found my dress that very day.

    I then returned for multiple fittings with a seamstress who was a miracle worker. That dress fit beautifully and I felt gorgeous on my wedding day!

    The Dress Matters was my very first store I went to try on dresses! The ladies were absolutely wonderful and helped me find the perfect dress! They were very accommodating with scheduling times for my mother, aunt and I especially when I went back a seconds third time to make a final decision! The store was full of gorgeous dresses and last minute I made an appointment for the trunk sale! Not only did I find a beautiful dress but I also got it on sale too which was even better! Thank you so much to the ladies at the dress matters!!!

    The staff at this bridal shop are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was great for me, my wedding, and family to have alterations done all at the same place. The staff had assisted many brides. They had great recommendations.

    This business was incredibly kind and understanding when I experienced a horrible situation just 4 weeks before my wedding-- the shop where I originally purchased my gown lied to me for two months before telling me that my dress was lost. I had to find a new gown ASAP, and the staff at The Dress Matters took me in immediately and helped me find a more beautiful gown off the rack with rushed alterations.

    Perfect little dress shop! I was a little nervous walking in because it didn't appear that they had a very large selection. I tried on probably 10/15 dresses and the third dress I tried on was THE one. The girls were great and so patient. My first and last wedding dress shopping experience was everything I could have possibly hoped for.

    Take the time so go check this cute little store out, it is worth you while.
