I went to Dress 2 Impress back in October 2016 in search for "the one". I had already been to a solid 10 dress stores (including the infamous Kleinfelds in NY), I had tried on all sorts of styles with multiple bridal consultants. Im an indecisive person so I knew that finding my wedding dress would be a struggle. I just didnt think it would be THIS much of a struggle. My mom lives near the Linwood area, so we decided to research some boutiques nearby. I called Dress 2 Impress and spoke with Patty on the phone. I explained to her my hardships and she said to me "Honey, Im going to find you your dress." I was doubtful and I told her "Meh, I doubt it but we sure can try." So, I go to my scheduled appointment and Patty describes the different designers and their history then we pulled some dresses and went into the fitting room. The second dress we tried one - was my dress. It was perfect. I walked out of the room and my mom and sister were in awe. Keep in mind that my mom and sister had been with my to NY and to ALL of the other dress shops. Their faces were just different when I walked out with that dress. I looked in the mirror and just knew - this was my wedding dress. We laughed, we cried and we rang the bell and popped champagne. I would never have found my dress if it wasnt for Patty. Its now about 7 months later and Im writing this review because there is so much more to buying a dress. You have go back for measurements and, of course, alterations. Violet handles the alterations and she is the sweetest little woman ever! She is honest in her expectations of you as a bride and your "body". She keeps it real and I LOVE IT. I seriously had the hardest time finding my dress but I am SO thankful with how everything turned out. I travel over an hour to get to Dress 2 Impress but I absolutely LOVE going to see Patty and Violet. I cant wait for the finished product and I cant wait to see my fiances face on our wedding day. Dress 2 Impress, Patty and Violet - thank you so much!

The only reason that we are giving this a two star review and not a one star review is because of sweet Violetta who came in at the end to assist and brighten the negative mood that was set by our consultant. Violetta was the only saving grace to this bridal boutique experience. Patty, our consultant made us feel very put off. Her attitude towards the whole bridal party was negative. From the moment we walked in she seemed annoyed and irritated even though we had made an apppointment. After bringing us upstairs to begin what should have a pleasant experience, she was short with the bride and was not interested with any of the bridal partys suggestions and abrupt when answering any questions we had. Her level of customer service is not what would be expected from a consultant in a bridal store. She was visibly irritated throughout the entire process by sighing loudly when we would make suggestions and when stated we needed to think about it, she continued this behavior as she hung dresses up. I would highly recommend if you so choose to search for your wedding dress here, make sure you request to not meet with Patty.

I cant say enough about how much I loved Dress 2 Impress! Before visiting their store I had tried on many dresses (not to mention expensive ones) and I just didnt find anything I liked. When I first stepped in the door to Dress 2 Impress, my bridal gown shopping experience had changed! I felt like royalty here! Not only were they so attentive, but my consultant actually picked out "THE ONE." She listened to exactly what I wanted and I ended up choosing the dress she picked! All of the staff was right along with my mom and grandmoms crying! By the end of my experience, my consultants felt like family! It was exactly what bridal shopping should be like and I would recommend this store to anyone. Not only did I love my dress, but all of the dresses I tried on were gorgeous for great prices! I ended up buying my dress, vail, headpiece, and belt from them and I am going back soon for bridesmaids dresses! Thank you everyone at Dress 2 Impress for helping me find my dream dress!!! :)

After searching all over New Jersey and even visiting the largest stores in New York and Philadelphia, I could not find anything that I like. I was visiting a friend on the shore and she recommended that we visit Dress 2 Impress, a local bridal boutique. I didnt really think that I will find anything but my friend insisted and we went there, no call or appointment. We were greeted by their sales rep Karen. She was in the middle of helping another customer but was very polite and allowed us to look around the bridal gowns. Many of the other places, I could not pick the dresses but rather the sales person was choosing for me. At Dress 2 Impress, I was able to look at every dress, the picture and the price and selected what I want to try. I found seven gowns, however as soon as I put that Paloma Blanca, I knew that is my dress. We celebrated and it honestly stress free experience without any pushy sales people. I would highly recommend this small town boutique.

I had a WONDERFUL experience purchasing my address at Dress 2 Impress. I learned they were having a trunk show of Venus dresses and I scheduled an appointment. I spoke with Patty over the phone and asked if they had samples in store of 2 dresses I was particularly interested in. Patty was very sweet and although the store did not carry samples of those 2 dresses, she offered to request them in the trunk show. I was so so happy and it was wonderful she went out of the way to do that! When I had my appointment, Chrystal was AMAZING! She was sweet, and patient, and even dimmed the lights to show me how my dress would sparkle at the reception. I cannot speak highly enough of her! She helped me not to talk myself out of getting the dress I loved! After I said YES to my dress, we popped some champagne, snacked on chocolates! Made it very welcoming and a very relaxing experience!

I originally came here only to only rent a tux. I came in around 5:30pm on a Wednesday, and was greeted promptly, pointed in the direction of what I was looking for, and told to ask if I needed any help. My wife decided to look around at the formal dresses as well which there were plenty of! The lady that helped me, I believe was Violet. Eventually we got to talking and she found out that my wife had not yet bought her dress for our sons wedding. Although we didnt have a reservation and also my wife wasnt planning on trying on any dresses, the sales associate suggested that my wife try some dresses. My wife ended up trying on 4 dresses, and she did find the dress that we both really liked. So I ended up getting my tuxedo rental and my wifes dress. One stop shop, great service and affordable prices. Well recommend Dress 2 Impress of Linwood NJ to all of our friends.

I had good and fabulous experience finding my gown here at D2I Bridal and Formal Boutique. My friend recommended me this place to check out and Im so glad I did. As I came in this place, my first impression in this place could be fauncy. Im thinking and Im just a little worried that the dresses here are out of my budget, but Im very surprised that all dresses that Im looking at all fell within my price range. The lady who helped me to choose a best dress that suit for me is Violet; she is so sweet, friendly and took time for me. I felt no pressure and they made me feel at ease. – After explaining what I was looking for she was able to give me suggestions and I ended up choosing one she suggested. I found the dress quickly and the process was so enjoyable and painless. She made me feel everything what I expecting to feel when I made dress shopping.
