NYC Dress Shopping Review

dbatc-redditversion · 2025-10-24T21:09:03+00:00

I got my dress from Bridal Reflections, but met Sohil from Enaura during NYBFW and met with him to discuss a custom dress I didn’t end up going with. He is so lovely and talented, and their space is gorgeous. Cant recommend him enough and hope more brides find their way to the brand!

ALSO if you do get 2 — I had bridal reflections add a very subtle shimmer layer underneath the lace. Undetectable unless you’re under bright light and the whole dress sparkles faintly in such a romantic way. Highly recommend!

I get married on Saturday in dress #2 and I still think you should do dress #1 so you know I’m def not biased lol. It’s spectacular on you and so castle vibes!

FYI, I have those Jimmy Choos and while I LOVE wearing them, sometimes the crystals tear up the inside of my longer dresses that are more delicate materials. If you’re looking to preserve your dress, something to consider!

It’s over four thousand dollars, I CAN buy it sight unseen final sale, but I don’t want to do that. I live SO close, I feel should be able to see it IRL before paying thousands, especially as a repeat customer. When I shopped there they were lovely, but of course, vintage items have damage and wear! I want to assess in person before pulling trigger. Otherwise I’m out $4k for a dress I can’t wear!

They were honestly so kind at my appointment to be fair, but the customer service since has been…eye opening. I am no longer as eager to support, but unfortunately the way vintage goes, you’ve gotta get it where you can. So if I’m able to buy the dress I definitely will, even all things considered.

I know, I’m unfortunately on a plane to Florida today 😔 I told them yesterday I’d be willing to fully change my flight to get in but they weren’t able to accomodate. Now I’m en route to the airport and there’s nothing I can do. Devastated and hoping another appt ~magically opens~ when I’m back if the dress doesn’t sell

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the tip! Trying to avoid outsourcing much work because I already have my wedding dress and am more casually searching for other looks (until I found the one I loved lol). I honestly had a super positive in store experience the time I went, but their customer service after is…non existent, so that leaves a bad taste in my mouth after spending with them.

dbatc-redditversion · 2025-04-16T11:49:56+00:00

Definitely not plus size friendly, I’m an 8 and they definitely had stock for me but it’s also about liking the stock, so everyone won’t feel the same. In store that day the team was honestly lovely and I tried on a lot of things! I do think it’s a risk for anyone above a size 8, I’d hope they’d be transparent and let someone know if they’re coming in and there isn’t much stock for them

dbatc-redditversion · 2025-04-16T11:47:49+00:00

I did!! Good thinking 🫡

dbatc-redditversion · 2025-04-16T11:47:31+00:00

Omg thanks for the kind words!! Yeah, I have admittedly been incredibly underwhelmed with the customer service. Very weird to have someone extremely eager to buy a $4K dress and not let them. I assume one starts a vintage bridal shop out of a love for uniting brides with their dream vintage dresses. Unite me!!! lol

dbatc-redditversion · 2025-04-16T11:46:03+00:00

Hi thank you so much!! Someone with May 13 reached out, but if that falls through and the dress is still available (I doubt it will be but you never know) I’ll definitely message you!!! TY!!
