Amazing, amazing, amazing! This is the most ingenious bridal shop ever! All of their dresses are in pieces--so you just tell them what kind of sleeves you want, what kind of bodice you want, what kind of skirt you want, what kind of veil and/or belt you want, and they bring it all to you to try on, swap out with something else, add or take away until you have the dress of your dreams! Wedding dress shopping was so stressful for me until I came here. Im LDS, and I have an unique sense of style, and my wedding reception was steampunk themed, so I needed something modest, something that I felt comfortable coming out of the temple in AND that would look good with my theme and could be accessorized appropriately, and something that felt suited to me and my sense of style. I was having an extremely difficult time finding dresses that met one of these requirements, let alone all four of them. And we were on a fairly tight budget. My whole wedding (decorations, invitations, food, venue, dress, cake, EVERYTHING) cost about $5,000, and I was tearing my hair out trying to find a dress that didnt cost thousands of dollars, but I also wanted the biggest, fluffiest, most luxurious skirt imaginable, and those run at a high price these days. Before I went to Gowns by Pamela I felt defeated and resigned to settling for a sub-par dress. I walked in to their studio, told them what I wanted, and they brought me an excellent dress. Then I was able to ask for adjustments here and there, swap out the bodice and sleeves a few times, make the skirt fuller, and fuller, AND FULLER, until my dress was so perfect it made me feel like the spirit of a steampunk unicorn! (Which is exactly what I was going for. :))

I had a wonderful experience with gowns by pamela with renting my wedding dress. I was able to pick my perfect dress in one visit. The lady helping me was very kind and patient with me when I would put on a dress, take it off to try another one, and then put the original one back on again to make sure it was the one I liked. She was also so kind and supportive, especially because I didnt have my family with me because I live out of state. The dress I finally chose was gorgeous. I wasnt quite sure what I wanted, so the lady helping me gave me great options all the way down to the perfect sash. I thought it was also amazing that you can mix and match all the tops and bottoms, so you get the best dress that you like overall. When I came to pick up my dress, it was altered and fit perfectly! The dress came in a dress bag with everything in it for easy transportation. After the wedding, it was so easy because I was able to have a friend drop off the dress for me while I was with the love of my life on our honeymoon. The price was also very affordable! Not only that, but all the alterations are included and there is no need to get it dry cleaned because they do it when you turn it in. I have to say renting my dress was the best choice I made because it was not only more affordable, but I dont have to worry about getting it saved and storing it. I had an amazing experience and would recommend this place to anyone, including one of my best friends who also got her dress here. I think getting my dress here was just as special as owning a dress and I have amazing pictures for remembering my dress!

Of the five bridal shops I visited in the Utah area, Gowns by Pamela was by far the most professional, beautiful, and fun, and had the best selection of beautiful, high-quality, modest dresses hands down--at an unbeatable price, too! You are able to completely customize your dress--choose your sleeve, color, skirt and bodice--at no extra cost, which is amazing. I said Gowns By Pamela is like Subway, where you can build your own sandwich--both the basic components and details are extremely customizable. And the fitting rooms where you make all of your decisions are large and beautiful. I was given a slip to wear while trying on dresses so that I wasnt wearing my underwear in front of anyone, which I really appreciated. I was also laced into a corset--Pamelas is the only store that put me in proper underwear to try dresses, and it made an enormous difference in how I looked and felt in each gown. And oh, the gowns! Rather than just trying to find a dress that somewhat flattered me, like I had at other shops, I was able to choose which one I liked best because every single dress looks amazing on. Flattering cuts, high quality fabric, fashion-forward--the designs have it all. The icing on the cake was my attendant, Becca. She made the entire process incredibly fun and was accommodating, practiced, and funny. I cant recommend Gowns by Pamela highly enough. It lives up to the raving reviews. A huge thanks to everyone there!

I loved my experience at Gowns by Pamela! I searched for months for the perfect dress, but couldnt find something that had all the features that I was looking for AND was a good price. Gowns by Pamela lets you custom design all the parts of the dress to fit your exact image in mind! I chose the bodice, the sleeves, the skirt. I got my bridal pictures taken and after seeing the pictures I was so sad because I didnt like how my arms looked (I had capped sleeves---which I had chosen, but I thought they made my arms look fat!) So I called up Gowns by Pamela and told them the situation. They immediately scheduled me for another consultation in which I chose another sleeve--3/4 length---at no additional cost. They said that they wanted me to love the dress and love how I looked. I was SO IMPRESSED with their service. They certainly went above and beyond. The dress was exactly what I always imagined and was so unique. NOthing like all the other styles that I was finding everywhere. I got so many compliments. And best of all? It cost me all under $400 for everything--dress, slip, corset, veil, headpiece, alterations...because I rented it. Now Im not stuck with a dress that I will never wear again, that I have to store and pack every time we move, and eventually try to sell because I over paid for it.... I got beautiful wedding pictures that serve as the only real memento I need. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

After everything is all said and done, Im SO glad I went with renting my dress from Gowns by Pamela. I had SO many compliments on my dress, and I was extremely happy with it on my wedding day. I loved that I was able to pick and choose pieces to make the dress that I loved. I checked out other bridal shops to see if I could find a dress that would come close, but GBP cant be beat. The price of the rental was incredible, especially since when I priced out everything, the accessories alone would have cost as much as the dress itself. My wedding was out of town, I needed an extra day on my rental, and the shop was great to work with me. My only suggestion to brides going into the shop is to make sure you love the dress you pick out before signing the contract. I got caught up in the excitement of trying on the dress, only to have doubts a few days later. If I had changed my dress, there would have been a transfer fee. I understand this is a business, and I would expect and understand there to be a fee to change the dress; however, had I known about the transfer fee, I would have made an additional appointment to try on dresses before committing to one. Overall a very positive experience, and I would recommend the shop to anyone.
