| - My review for this store is actually 3.5/5. I came here last Thursday and said 'yes' to the dress! Before coming here, I had already gone to three other places.
There was this very specific dress from Maggie Sottero that I wanted to try on so I called Amanda Lina Sposa in advance to make sure they had this dress before I booked the appointment. The store is really pretty and they have a lot of gowns for you to look at. I went with my mother and my fiancé's mom. We were free to look around while we waited for our consultant.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, our consultant arrived. Our consultant was helpful and nice. The minute that I tried on the dress that I came here for, I already knew it was the one. So my appointment was really only 40 minutes. The only downside here is that you cannot take pictures, which I knew of already before coming in. After saying 'yes' to the dress, I was measured right away and the dress was ordered for me. Because I did my research on this specific dress, I knew that there was a petite size available (3 inches shorter than regular length) because I'm only 5'2". However, I had to point this out to my consultant and the front desk. But they had already put in the order for the regular size so they had to cancel that order and then place another order for the petite before I paid my 60% deposit. Being only 5'2 and between a size 0-2, I think it would've made sense to at least advise your customer of the petite option so they can decide which one to get. But because I had done my research on this dress, I felt like I knew a bit more than my consultant? Other than that, the experience was good. You also don't need to alter your dress here if you don't want to.
After getting my gown, I also visited the attached store which sells mother of the bride dresses. The ladies there were so lovely and sweet! Because I had purchased my wedding gown there, I get an additional 10% off for mother of the bride dresses. My mom and future mother in-law are interested in coming back for their dresses.
At this time, I'm not sure if I will be purchasing my accessories at Amanda Lina Sposa. I just noticed in my follow-up email that "any accessories purchased elsewhere including belts, jackets, etc., are not permitted during your fitting process". Just a heads up for other brides who decide to come here. Overall, I would recommend this bridal store to other brides!
