Couture Bride was my first wedding dress shopping experience, and ended up being my last. I came in with a somewhat open mind... I knew what I wanted (high neck and not too puffy), but I was willing to look at anything they thought might fit me. Dawn is a gem... I told her what I was looking for, and she immediately mentioned she had a dress that fit my description, but let me know it was a little out of my price range, letting me decide if I wanted to see it or not. I decided to go for it, and was not dissapointed. It was the first dress I tried on, and although I tried on other dresses, they just didnt compare. It was just what I was looking for. I went ahead and ordered the dress without going out to other places to try other dresses. My dress has come in since then, and I went in for my first fitting the other day, and my dress is still every bit as beautiful as I remember it (even more so, actually, cuz it fits better). Dawn and the alterations seamstress (for some reason, I cant recall her name right now.... Shoot!) were so attentive and friendly! They made me feel very comfortable, gave me good suggestions, and helped nurse me back to health when I almost fainted (I was wearing my longline bra a little too tightly... Lesson learned: breathing is important). Just fyi for the ladies who do end up getting their dresses here: the seamstress is a professional, and she will begin hemming your dress right in front of you if she needs to (like if your dress is lace). In other words, she may cut your dress right in front of you. But do not be afraid, she knows what she is doing! My dress looked ten times better after she did that. I will definitely update once my transaction with them is complete, but I have a feeling that my rating wont change much. :)
