I had tried on several dozen white wedding dresses at about a dozen bridal shops when I walked into Curvaceous Couture. “I think I’m done with white dresses; what else ya got?” They did not pressure me at all to try on any of their white dresses (which I could see the incentive to do, since they’re at minimum 4x the price of any of the evening dresses they sold). They directed me to their evening/prom wear section and I tried on a half-dozen I think. When I tried on the one I ultimately selected, my friend, and other patrons in the store who’d seen me come out in each dress, were all aflutter. “You’re going to get that one, right? You should get that one!” Fortunately, I agreed with them, and my wedding dress hunt was finally, thankfully, over! I thought I would want a red dress, but the blue dress I got was simply beautiful. Salesperson listened to what I wanted, pulled dresses she thought I would like, and was great helping me into and out of them. The blue dress I got was so inexpensive, I bought it thinking, “Heck, even if I decide to keep looking for a wedding dress, I want to get this dress for some unspecified future occasion.” (But after I bought it, I found I was more than ready to be done wedding dress shopping. It was the worst part of the whole planning process.) At the time of sale, they had a seamstress take a look at how it might be altered to better fit me, and gave me an estimate of what that would cost. They sent the dress home with me and told me to call several months later to schedule a fitting and alterations. I got that done in a timely fashion and it ended up costing one third of what they estimated. When I went for the final fitting, I asked them to hem it up a little further than they wanted, because it was interfering with my dancing (they have enough space that I twirled around a bit to test it out). They cut a bit more and hemmed it again while I waited, very fast and easy. My friend who went with me had her daughter go there to find a prom dress shortly after, and she got a great one and had a wonderful experience too. Highly recommend!

I went to Curvaceous Couture Bridal on October 2015 for my wedding gown for my May 2016 wedding. Upon entering the shop, I knew that this is where I would purchase my gown!!! The display of the gowns are beautiful. The bridal consultants are wonderfully friendly. My Bridal consultant Autumn was phenomenal!!! She took her time and did not care how many dresses I tried on!!! The shop owners are supportive and encouraging. The lighting is wonderful and the environment is extremely welcoming. There are so many beautiful dresses to try on and during your appointment, they get to know you and your style and really care about you purchasing the best gown for your body type and your wedding!!! I felt beautiful, respected and supported by my bridal consultant. It was the best bridal shopping experience of my life!!! Ive been to other shops and none of them compare to Curvaceous Couture!!! I purchased my gown that day and cannot wait to see it when its delivered and do my alterations. I will do a review on alterations afterwards as well but Im sure they will be spectacular. During my appointment, I met with the seamstress and she seemed very competent. If youre looking for a bridal Shop with wonderful exquisite gowns, attentive and friendly consultants and a classy environment. Then Curvaceous Couture is for you. I promise you will be extremely satisfied!!! I would recommend this shop to any women regardless of size. They have dresses for every shape and size and they are absolutely gorgeous. Lastly, everyone there is extremely professional and kind!!! Thank you Curvaceous Couture !!!! Because of you, I will be THE MOST stunning bride anyone has EVER seen at my wedding!!! My alterations were done perfectly!!! The seamstress is wonderful. Im ready to get married Saturday and I will be so. Confidant because they make sure that my dress fits like a glove.

I had a really poor experience at Curvaceous Couture. I made a mid-week appointment, took off work with my mother, and drove over an hour to their store. When we stepped through the doors we were greeted by about a dozen production crew members, video cameras, etc, as they were filming for their failed and unfortunate reality tv show (which is all staged btw). When I made the appointment I informed them my schedule was somewhat flexible. If I had been kindly informed this would be going on during my entire appointment, I could have come later that day or on another date. With the majority of the production crew being male, I was really uncomfortable, especially since the curtains had wide gaps at the sides. Wedding gown shopping is an intimate experience for many women, and this was anything but that. The manager was the one helping me and she kept getting pulled away for filming. At times I had to stay in the back or in the dressing room to avoid cameras. It was so disappointing and unprofessional. This is also the only shop that asked me to go above my budget. As my mother and I were leaving the shop, a crew member ran into the parking lot chasing after us stating we were in some of the shots and we needed to sign paperwork, and have our picture taken holding it up. No thanks. It was ridiculous! I figured I would give them another chance and sent an email to see if they had received any new dresses in a particular style. 2 weeks went by without getting a response. I sent another email and finally received a half arsed reply. I do not recommend this shop at all, and I do not recommend supporting a business that does not make their customers a top priority. I had a dress custom made from a local designer for half the price of their gowns.

Went with a family member when she bought her dress. The selection of dresses was much smaller than I anticipated and most of them were very frilly, lacy, or blingy. I think there were only a handful of dresses that were NOT strapless or of more classic designs. The dressing rooms are only separated from the viewing area by curtains that gape and DONT keep the future bride out of view as she has her fitting. While I appreciate the fact that they do carry dresses for larger sizes, they seem to now consider their tv show more important than their customers. Customers are greeted with a sign that says your entering implies consent to be filmed. Then you are badgered by members of the production crew asking for your consent form to be signed or you have to leave when they begin filming. The lighting and atmosphere are not pleasant at all--which is also affected by the brighter lights the film crew needs. I am sorry but this store is not that great that it deserves a tv show and they seem to be risking the satisfaction of their clientele to earn additional $$ from the show. They should at least put the tv show in the back room and save the customers in the front from all that nonsense but instead, the clientele who buy the priciest dresses (over $2K) are kept in the back away from filming .
