| - What a true gem of a place to find a wedding gown in the city of Pittsburgh. I'm from the burgh originally and currently live in Los Angeles. I was home for the holidays and heard about this boutique from a sales girl in LA, so I figured I would check it out. Even from the website, I knew this is the kind of place I was looking for to find a dress. I emailed with her a few times to book an appointment and with questions, and she was very quick to respond.
This is a small and beautifully decorated place - from the gorgeous hardwood floors to the special chandelier featuring branches and old school light bulbs. This place screamed character. Walking in here we were warmly greeted by Erin, the owner, and I immediately felt no stress or pressure at all. Erin is sweet and easy-going, and has a thoughtfully curated selection of beautiful dresses by small designers. I was looking for something unique (trying to go with a US designer/ made in the US as I work in fashion and wanted to support someone on a small scale, not something mass produced). Erin is kind, patient, and helpful. She let me peruze the store to select what I wanted. My mother and I went to 2 bridal boutiques previous that pulled gowns for you, and didn't really listen to what I wanted (or the budget for that matter) - didn't appreciate that too much. I was exhausted with looking for dresses by this point (probably tried around 50 dresses), so I really hoping to find something soon! I picked out 3 to try, and really liked 2 - and ended up going with a simple Elizabeth Dye lace gown that would go with the theme & venue. Glitter & Grit is the only place in Pittsburgh to go dress shopping if you want something special and unique, and if you want to shop in a stress-free, no pressure environment.
