I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in 2 weeks (May 9th). We ordered our bridesmaid dresses in December and were told that the dresses would be in within 12 weeks. The dresses just arrived. In December when I placed my order, I discussed at length with the sales associate my concerns about sizing the dress. I will be seven months pregnant when I wear the dress. Normally I wear a size 12. By my measurements, the sales associate told me she would order a size 18 with a corset back to allow for adjustments due to the pregnancy. The dress just arrived and is a size 26 with a zip up back. I can literally put the dress on over my clothes without unzipping it and still have plenty of room to spare. The shop is taking no responsibility for the error, refuses to refund the money or do the alterations to make the dress remotely wearable. I had to go to three seamstresses in one day, the first refused because she did not want her name associated with the final product, which will be awful if it can be worn at all, the second refused because there is only a week and a half until I actually leave for the wedding, and the third said she would fix it but it would cost $150+ and would not look good once it was altered. This is my only brothers wedding and I am left with looking like a clown in a pink tent or trying to find a bridesmaid dress last minute that is similar to the other girls off the rack (at 7 months pregnant..yeah, sure.) I have two other sisters who are also in this wedding. One wears a size 10-12 and got a size 24 and the other wears a size 2 and got a size 10. All three of us were basically told by our seamstresses that the dresses were going to look terrible because the sizes were so far off. Response from the shop when I called the first time to try to fix the situation "It is what it is. It is not our fault." I have now spent about $500 on this dress and will look like a clown on the big day.

I do not have enough praises to say about my experience with this dress shop and with Stacy. When I first got engaged I went on a secret mission to davids bridal because I had no idea what I wanted in a dress and I had such an awful experience! To make a long story short, they didnt care and made me feel fat and ugly and even said to me "the only dresses that would really fit you are over here" I am between a size 14 and 16 so I thought this was just discusting!!!!!! So I was traumatized and didnt search for a dress for a very long time...but then I stumbled upon this little gem by someone I know. So I reluctantly went. When we walked in we were immediately greeted warmly by Stacy. She took one look at me and we talked about my vision for my wedding and she told me she has 5 dresses in mind and she knew that one of those was going to be my dress..out of the 5 I loved 3 of them..but one look at my moms tear filled face I knew right away my dress was going to be the kitty Chen I put on.. it was perfect and all the drama I wanted in it. Stacy never once made me feel "fat" or self conscience..only beautiful and perfect in all the dresses I tried on. I hope all brides find someone to make them feel as special as le reve and Stacy made me feel. We should be treated like princesses and that is how I felt shopping with them!!!! I suggest making an appointment wayyyyyyyyy before your wedding as most dresses take up to six months for ordering, but it is worth the wait. I promise!!!!!!!! Go to le reve and ask for Stacy you wont be sorry.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding, and the bride purchased her gown at this shop, and found our bridesmaid dresses here too. When we went to get measured for our dresses, the owner was incredibly rude from the beginning. The dress was fitted at the top, and flowy from the waist down. I tried on a size 10 which was very loose on the top. The owner said I needed a size 10 and when I suggested maybe a size 8, she pulled the flowy part taught to my legs and said "Its not supposed to look like this, you need a 10". Then of course when I went to get it altered, my seamstress said I should have gotten a size 8 and she had to take it in a size (another $120 that I had to spend). Also during the fitting, I was concerned about how the boning in the breast area looked on me. When I asked if it could be removed, the owner replied with "This is my problem with bridesmaids, you care too much about what you look like. No one is going to even be looking at you, theyre looking at the bride." Okay, but Im paying $300 for a dress, I want it to look nice on me. Then to top off our experience, the owner ordered a size 4 for a bridesmaid who needed a size 10. Thank god a few bridesmaids were able to swap dresses and make it work. Long story short, they have nice dresses but terrible customer service.

This was the second boutique we visited. So I dont know if we were spoiled by the first one but going was such a bad experience. She started by greating us with a ten minute long speech about how great she was at what she did and how the store was highly recommended. Then we were told we werent allowed to take any pictures of the experience-which we were at the first one and the one we went to after. We walked upstairs and I was told to wait in the changing room while she picked out what she thought I might like. We asked if we could look around ourselves to pick out what I actually liked and we were told no because shes been doing this for so long she knew best. Every dress she brought in was not what I wanted or my style. Then I was told if I lost some weight it would look better(Im a size 8 so Im not sure what that is in wedding dresses but it didnt warrant a comment about my needing weight loss) and that I couldnt try on anything that was smaller then I could fully zip. The other places clipped the dresses shut if they were to small so I could still look at ones I liked. If Im spending thousands at your store I should be allowed to look around and make sure Im picking things I like and not what you think my overweight body would look okay in.

I had such a great experience with Le Reve Bridal and Tuxedo! I bought my dress and veil here, and my husband rented his suit as well as suits for the groomsmen. I had my wedding at a venue in Leesburg, and my mom had read reviews about Le Reve online and wanted to stop by for a quick look at their dresses one afternoon. We worked with Cinthia initially, and she was absolutely wonderful - she listened to what I had in mind and helped me pick out a few dresses, and gave her professional opinion about the fit and style. It turns out the very first dress I tried on that day was the one, and we bought it, along with the veil and a belt without a second thought. From then on we worked with Sonia, who is about the sweetest lady ever - she helped me schedule alterations during the weekends, since we live pretty far from Leesburg, and she personally helped my husband select his suit for the wedding. The alterations I had done were perfect - I am small-framed and was worried about the fit, but I couldnt be happier with how it turned out. Overall, we loved Le Reve - their customer service is incomparable. Thank you!
