I bought my dress here in December of 2023 and just got married in March of 2025. I had such an amazing experience. I honestly wasn't expecting to find a dress at the first bridal shop I went to, but I found 2 that I was torn between. I eventually settled on one and I am so happy I did, I loved it so much!
