The ladies here are so amazing and talented! Although I ended up getting my dress at another shop, I had an amazing experience here and would 10/10 recommend the Bragging Bride to anyone

Without a doubt the best experience I had dress shopping. I went in thinking I wouldn't ever find "the dress" but I explained what I was looking for and it was the first dress they pulled.

I had the best experience here! The women are so nice and so fun. A lot of bridal boutiques are kinda snooty and very serious, but these women were so fun!
They nailed my style so quickly too. They kept bringing me more dresses that I just LOVED! I would decide on one dress and then they’d find another that I loved even more!
And the prices for the dresses are phenomenal and can’t be beat by much. I would recommend this place to anyone

Very nice bridal consignment boutique in Calgary , had pleasure to visit them in two diferent occasions. They have huge selection of wedding dresses in all sizes , some brand new , not altered and some used in very good condition . D'Aanita and Laura know they stock well and select for you dresses in your size and style before your appointment , also it will be great help if you know what you looking for and let them know before hands . Highly recommend this little boutique.

Wouldn't really recommend. Asked my size over the phone, and then when I came in she said "we don't really have anything in your size" which is extremely rude. I told her I needed a dress suitable for a beach wedding, and she gave me three ballroom dresses to try on. None of which I could have walked on a beach with. Also, I wasn't allowed to look at any of the dresses myself which was a major red flag.
Edit to note: not a fraudulent review, and my experience aligns with the other one star reviews who have had a similar experience.
No one should be made to feel as though they are too fat to buy a dress for their wedding day, I'm only a size 12 and my size and beach wedding was discussed on the phone prior to the apt, so imagine my shock when I came into my apt and was told they didnt really have anything in my size. My apt was a while ago and this experience has been on my mind since. If you don't want damaging reviews, don't make damaging comments. You could have turned me away on the phone if you didn't have my size, instead of embarrassing me in front of my friends.

Best experience ever!
They asked me if I had any ideas or what I was going for, for my wedding dress & when I got there had 2 picked out for me to try & I loved them both, but went with the second dress I tried on! They were amazing & accommodated me to come back the next day with my SIL & mom to show them!
So happy I came here!!

As a bride to be I always find reviews helpful. This was my second dress shopping experience (first was at Everthine). The atmosphere of The Bragging Bride is a tad chaotic and more independent but well intentioned.
Before going, try to have an idea of what you are looking for and the gown size you would fit into. This sped up the chit-chat and allowed me to get into more dresses. We were able to do 5 dresses in 45 minutes. They book appointments pretty back to back so they’re very mindful of time. I wouldn’t select this place as your first time trying dresses for these reasons.
This appointment tends to be more independent. The dresses are placed in the fitting room (which is a decent size!) and you get into your dress. I had my party help button/zip/bussle me once I got out. The dresses are not able to be clipped in anyway, so if possible the ladies or my party would help pull places off the dress to get an idea of the post-alteration possibilities. While on the note of independence, the ladies working there often stepped away which made me feel more comfortable to explore the dresses I was in. It felt like they trusted the bride to be cautious of the dresses while they went and pulled more. Lots of the dresses I tried were brand new and in great condition!
The ladies there are very mindful of your budget and they gave me a wild discount because the dress I loved was way out of my budget. You can tell they just want people to be happy.

100% impressed. My fiancé and I are hoping to get married within 5 short months of getting engaged. Of course this may not have been possible with the long wait times it usually takes to order a dress. The Bragging Bride made this possible for me. Not only did they fit me in for an appointment the same day I requested one, but they found me a stunning, brand new dress in my size, needing very few alterations, and at 60% off the original price. I am beyond happy and grateful, and would recommend them to anyone.

I had high hopes coming here to find a dress, but left feeling very overwhelmed and disappointed. They do not let you look at any of the dresses, you just have to describe what you want they will bring you some. They also didn't help me in/out of either of the dresses I tried on, nor did they clip me up so I would have a better idea of what the dress would look like if it fit properly. They kept making negative comments about other bridal stores I had been to (Park and Fifth and Everthine) which came off as very unprofessional. I also felt very rushed. They let me try on two dresses and then basically pushed me out the door. If you are looking for a great bridal consignment store, I recommend Everthine instead of the Bragging Bride as my experience there was top notch.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Bragging Bride while shopping for my wedding dress! D'Anita was so warm and welcoming during our appointment. She took great care in picking out dresses that would be a good fit for the vibe of our wedding, and was very respectful of the budget we were working with. Bragging Bride has an amazing selection of dresses at very accessible price points – so many unique and beautiful choices for finding your dream dress. I would highly recommend booking an appointment with Bragging Bride as you get ready for your special day!

Although I did not buy a dress from the Bragging Bride, their service was fantastic and so fun! They had great prices on gowns and a great variety as well. Unfortunately, because it is consignment, you can't try on as large of a selection due to wear and tear so I think I may have missed out on some dresses slightly outside of my style because they weren't being pulled to avoid issues with that, but overall I had a fantastic time and the ladies there are awesome! Really wish I could have found my dress there!

Now I'm a Bragging Bride! Laura and D'Anita are experts and were able to find me my perfect dress in record time! Their attention to what I was looking for and how it made me feel made it an incredible experience for me and my girls! I highly recommend coming here to find what you're looking for. They are unrivaled in their skill!

My sister found the perfect gown here within her price point and the owners made the whole experience so much fun for me and my family! Highly recommended.

Nice dresses but you could only try on the ones the ones recommended by the workers. They weren’t really that friendly and kept insisting on adding a belt, sleeves etc. to the dress. Once they knew you wouldn’t be buying a dress, they pushed you out the door.What should have been a lovely and exciting experience was disappointing and hectic. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this dress shop to other brides.
