La Belle Reve Seamstress Zhanna did magic on my wedding dress! Total life saver 2 days before my wedding. The story goes like this: I had purchased my wedding dress from a different bridal store in Seattle and since it was shipped from Australia, it took ages to get to me. Once it arrived, we were 1 month out from my wedding day. We immediately began working on alterations and was offered a "discount" for tailoring the dress at this Seattle bridal shop (which I will not name), however my bill totaled $700. Four fittings later, and I left the shop crying because it just didnt fit right, and what a shame because it was my dream dress. The first fitting, resulted in a loosey goosey bag on me. Second fitting looked like she hardly took in any material and the fitting felt just like the first. No Joke. Second fitting, It was so tight on my bottom and legs that I could not walk nor even sit! Third fitting, she let it all back out and said Im sorry, I just cant do what you are asking for. Fourth fitting was 2 days before my wedding and the lace material on my bottom was now scrunched up and appeared baggy underneath but I had no time to waste, I left the shop crying. As Im leaving the Seattle shop, I called La Belle Reve, where I had taken my second dress to get tailored and all my bridesmaids had their gorgeous dresses perfectly tailored. I called Zhanna saying my wedding is in 2 days. Im desperate for your help. I should have taken it to her from the beginning. She understood my urgency and took up the project as though she were getting married in 2 days herself! She took me in that same hour and cancelled all her other appointments to work on my dress all day! I had given up hope that my lace, mermaid dress would not look the way I had envisioned it. However, gave it a shoot. At the end of the day, I get a phone call from La Belle Reve saying my dress is done, come try it on. I slipped the dress on and literally, it was a perfect dress! No more scrunches on the bottom, the bosom area was even taken in which made the top fit perfectly. She explained that the reason the other seamstress did not do a proper job is because she would have to cut the lace and carefully reapply it which is hard and meticulous job but Zhanna spent all day just to get it right! I was obsessed with my dress! And all that stress was relieved - just 2 days out from the wedding day. Everyone at the wedding was raving about how beautifully the dress fit me. Like it was sewn per my body. All thanks to the best tailor/bridal shop - Le Belle Reve. Thank you for making my dream dress a reality!

6/23/2014 Before getting engaged I was a gal that never really desired a wedding for many reasons, mostly because Ive been to so many weddings in my lifetime, I really thought all the ideas have been taken and it overwhelmed me to even think of what I wanted for my wedding. All I knew was I wanted something entirely different but mainly to have a relaxed wedding. So going into this wedding planning I had no clue where to start... My Fiancé and I started off by booking our venue, with our poor planning we decided to plan 3 1/2 months away. To my knowledge, I figured dress shopping will be an easy decision, knowing that there are so many Bridal stores. I checked out a couple of the big factories (Demetrios, Davids Bridal), well I was so upset with the choices they had I was in fear I would never find a dress by my wedding day. So I go over to my sisters the following day and she mentioned to go visit one of her friend’s bridal stores, which was La Belle Reve Bridal. I honestly, didnt have much hope that Id find a dress there (only because of the stressful experience I had at the larger bridal shops) but I was a shocked that after trying on my 3 dress, I was 100% sure I found my dress. I was in awe from the time I put it on. It was the most perfect dress, I had no clue that a bridal dress can be so beautiful on me, the quality of the dress was beyond outstanding. The only problem was that I didnt have much time to order my size of dress, so I purchased this dress off the rack. With Irinas confidence in helping me find my dress, I was very pleased and open to have her shop altered and hemmed there. They did such a outstanding job that it looked like it was ordered to my size originally. My wedding is this weekend and because of my dress being everything I ever wanted, I am 100% satisfied and beyond happy for this special day to come around. After all, Im very happy I made the choice to make a wedding that will be memorable and the happiest moment of my life. So girls, if you need to find the most perfect dress, go to La Belle Reve, you will not regret it. They never stressed me in any way. They were so good with booking my appointments, the gal that altered and hemmed the dress did it exactly what I wanted it but if you ask for her input she will give you her honest opinion, I respected that so much. So La Belle Reve thank you so much for your fast and hard work you did for me. You mad this wedding planning so easy and less stressful. Kind regards, Anna L.

I wish I would have gone somewhere else. My wedding photos confirm what I tried to tell the seamstress.. but she didnt care. My dress fit too low and I could not raise my arms above my head without exposing myself! And in many, or most photos it looks like my breasts were at my waist! There was plenty of time to fix it since I started the process early, but the seamstress was cold and did not listen to my concerns, only turning to the other staff to confirm her views, which they did. Why wouldnt they? It was in their best interest! There were also little blood stains from the seamstress pricking her finger.. and a crease in the lining that went down the front and looked like a dark stain. Plus, there was only one girl in there that was somewhat friendly. Not the experience you want!

Buyer Beware! I purchased a dress and was told that it would ship on April 5th but received it on May 4th... 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding! Although they offered to expedite the alterations, I live three hours away and dont have time to drive back and forth in the short time before my wedding. Besides the dress is too short!! When I called to return the dress, I was told that I would only receive half of the price of the gown because they arent liable for the designer shipping late but what about the length! Also, when we originally called wondering where my dress was, the sales lady was extremely rude to my mother and told her that the dress wasnt ordered right away because we didnt pay for it... funny considering we paid in full the day I picked out the dress.
