Glamorous Bride

The experience was indescribable. She is as professional as she is talented. My bridesmaids dresses were beautiful and the magic she made happen for my gown was incredible. She is extremely kind and patient– but most importantly will provide the best service and quality you could ever ask for. She is amazing and by far the best out there!!!

Olga did an amazing job with my wedding dress. Until this day, I am still receiving many compliments. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Olga!

My experience with this shop was for my own wedding. Like other reviews have said, Olga, the owner, is very nice and I do think she has talent, because, after all, she IS making wedding dresses and formal gowns from scratch — hence the 1 star.
HOWEVER…
The dress I wanted was from a bridal boutique and had a keyhole back and a lot of detail and pickups and fabric work. Olga told me that I shouldn’t worry and that towards the end it would all come together. She did make things very affordable for us — she told us that she usually uses a replacement fabric that resembles silk, but it’s only a similar fabric, so she wouldn’t charge as much as for pure silk. We said that was fine… my next fitting, she told us that she would be able to make the skirt part out of the pure silk, because of a discount she received when purchasing, but that it would be no additional charge for us and no one would even be abel to tell. Nice! A custom silk dress.
Here were the results:
The keyhole back was not a keyhole shape but more like an oval with two points, one at my neck and one at my mid back. It made me look like I was heavy enough to stretch the shape of the back, which just doesn’t look right and made me feel very self-​conscious. The flowers she used at the pickups (which were rose-​shaped on the original dress) were actually these immature looking «daisy-​like» flowers that she didn’t put on tip the end, so there was no time to change it. The folds in my fabric, that were designed to make a «ribbed» look, she did not sew or tac into place, so they kept flipping the other way and flattening out — even SHE had to keep redoing it in her shop but told me it would be fine once she finished… she didn’t change a thing after that, so how could it «be fine».
THE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST HORRIBLE FLAW… The fake silk that, supposedly, «no one would notice»…all of the photos taken outside show my dress in two very distinctly different shades of off-​white. You can tell exactly where the pure silk begins and ends and it is the most embarrassing thing ever. Not only do I see ONLY THAT when I see my wedding dress, but now all of my outdoor (what would have been stunning) photos are ruined!!!
Please think twice before going here. Aside from her friendliness, she needs to understand that THESE ARE WEDDING DRESSES!!! Possibly the most precious gown a girl will wear. Don’t promise something and then screw it up.
You’ll be better off just splurging on the salons… you can’t put a price on not having your seamstress screwing up your big day.
**NOTE: I’d be more than happy to send anyone photos of my finished dress to show you what I’m talking about!!!**

I met with Olga in mid July for a unique wedding dress for my August wedding. Olga was helpful and maintained in constant communication with me; she provided me with feedback but never strayed from my original dress idea. Petite as I am, my dress required alterations until the very last minute, two days before the wedding it had to be brought down one more inch. Olga did an exceptional job creating my perfect dress, for my final fitting my dress was absolutely perfect. Olga also made alterations and pressed other dresses used for the wedding. I recommend Olga to anyone for her personable disposition and amazing talent and quality work on all her dresses.

I bought my wedding dress here and had Olga do the alterations as well. She did a great job of altering my gown and her prices were really reasonable. So reasonable in fact, that I ordered my flower girl’s dress, hair piece and veil from here as well. Olga was always friendly and was honest when making suggestions. This place is not exactly glamorous and often times you need to call several times before Olga will answer, but that’s because this is truly a family owned shop and Olga and her family are the only ones who work there. When purchasing my wedding dress it was nice to know that I was supporting a small business and I felt like family every time I came in. She was willing to stay late just to accommodate me. Thats not the type of service you’ll get when going to a big bridal store like Macy’s or Pronovia’s

If you are planning on going to the ‘Bridal Building’ in NYC at 1385 Broadway, DO NOT waste any of your time! We traveled from NJ to find that it is not an entire building filled with bridal shops as it is advertised, but one shop on the 17^th floor called the Glamorous Bride (Suite 1705), with a limited selection and HORRIBLE service. You can only pay cash or check for the dress purchases. After my purchase in November and almost 5 months of being LIED to and taken advantage of, (pickup, alterations, etc) I asked to just take the dress home with me so I could get alterations done by my own tailor. Please heed by advice, spend your time and money elsewhere!

:sigh: I didn’t really WANT to put this place on blast because the owner is certainly nice but I just have to.
I was forced into having my dress made for a friend’s wedding versus David Bridal-​ing it out since her dress was also being made. I spent an exorbitant amount of money and got a dress that hardly looked worthy of being worn to a wedding much less while being in it.
And while the bride’s dress was nice, the straps weren’t staying up and the look she was trying to recreate was left unaccomplished.
What added insult to injury was she never remembered who I was everytime I called for a fitting and although we went in at least 6 months prior to the wedding, our dresses were all finished three days before.
Please future bridezillas. if you’re going to have your own dress made, do not put your bridesmaids through similar torture.
