As a bride who wears the Hijab, it was so hard for me to find something that looked good while being modest at the same time. I saw Brides & Tailor’s facebook page just in time, and after checking the reviews, started with my order without hesitation. They have previously tailored my cousin’s wedding dress so I was so excited to have mine done by them too. The best decision I have made. For all brides who wear the Hijab and live in America, this will be the perfect place for you. They will work with you step by step to help you get what you want.I highly recommend them.

She did it twice as there was not a clear understanding for the first sketch, whether my fault or her fault, she made it right. I ultimately did not have the dress made because I was quoted a higher price for a plus size gown and she stated the higher price was for the extra material. Of course, charging more for a size 18 or 20 because of extra material would make more sense if the sizes 0s, 2s or 4s were given discounts, which I'm sure they aren't. It all evens out. It's just one more burden for a plus size bride. Gowns available for purchase whether a 4 or 24 or even larger all are the same fee. The price for my gown was quoted higher than more intricate gowns on her site. I do love her work and clearly she has beautiful gowns so I am disappointed I was unable to purchase from her.read less

I was supposed to get married on Halloween (Covid ruining everything), so I didn’t want a traditional white dress and let me tell you it was SO difficult finding a dress I almost gave up the idea of the non-traditional route. But then I found my saving grace, Manal thank you so so much! She paid attention to all the little details I asked for, gave me so many options of fabric colors, lace appliqués, beadings, etc! Also they made me a matching veil for FREE!! Such a sweet little surprise and you can’t beat that for the price! If you are having trouble finding THE dress, look no further and create your own beautiful gown 💕read less

I was assured that the dress would be made on time (and in fact, it came early!) and that they would do everything in their power to create something beautiful...and wow, is it beautiful! Working with Manal was a breeze and her communication was out of this world. The dress fits like a glove and the details are exquisite. I could not recommend Brides & Tailor enough!read less

I had sent her 3 separate dresses and asked her to combine them all into my dream dress.. but in black! I never had luck finding a black dress that looked bridal... until I met Manal! She put together exactly what I was imagining in my head and it’s made perfectly! She was super sweet, helpful, and very responsive. She made the fear of ordering a wedding dress online completely disappear. The turnaround was insanely fast as well. Prices were extremely reasonable given you’re getting a handmade, one of a kind custom dress. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the customer service and dress I received. I will definitely be recommending Brides and Tailor to everyone looking for a wedding dress! I will update the review with pictures once I say I do!read less

To me, what I wanted was so simple but no one made it because it was considered “not traditional.” I looked in my city at custom gowns and they wanted thousands! That’s where brides and tailor came in. They helped put to paper what I had in my mind. They kept me updated throughout the process, kept prices fair and when my dress was delivered this week, I felt pure joy!! Manal was a gem to work with and I will definitely be referring anyone I know getting married to brides and tailor! What a great experience!read less

I started working with Manal on my dream wedding gown about a year ago. I was a little apprehensive about having a gown made from states away from me but Manal ensured me I would be a part of the process every step of the way, and I was! Manal was patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. She helped my dream wedding gown become a reality. From Sketch to shipping the process was nothing short of perfect. The gown is more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. It would be difficult if not impossible to find better quality or value than Brides & Tailor.read less
