Hi ladies, I don't post here too much, but I was married 10/17 and finished up some vendor reviews. Even just lurking sometimes, all your reviews helped me so much that I figured I should share my own. Here they are:[url]http://schnooders.weebly.com/vendor-reviews.html[/url]Feel free to email me at gregnamy101709 at gmail.com if you have any other questions. Happy planning!!

    Amy, if you don't mind me asking, what did your dress smell like after using Fashion Stitch? I'm considering using them since they got great reviews on this board, but after reading your review, I'm hesitant to take my dress there! Jody

    It's kind of hard to describe... but I'd say a little musty and a little like food, it's definitely the exact same smell that the store has (although that probably doesn't help you at all).It wasn't a GOOD smell, obviously, but it wasn't horrible. I would still recommend her, it was just something that bothered me a small bit.

    I'm also using Yeon...I didn't notice a smell when I was in there but now I'm wondering :)  How far in advance did you pick up your gown for it to be able to air out?  I was planning on picking mine up 5 days before my wedding but just in case there is a smell is that enough time to let it air out? Some of these seamstress need to make their places smell better...I didn't go with Rose Lafferty b/c all of her stuff comes back smelling like smoke.

    I went to a June wedding at Congress Hall and there were children in the pool splashing around and voyeurs watching the ceremony from the balcony... romantic!  Everything else there was very nice and well coordinated.  I'm sure you got a break from all the extra people around by getting married in October.Based on your reviews it sounds like you had an overall good experience.  Congrats!

    I didn't have an issue with my dress smelling after being at Fashion Stitch.  I also had 4 BMs takes their dresses there and no one had any issues.  I hope this helps those of you who are worried!

    nygirl, I actually only picked it up 3 days in advance, but Yeon recommended that I take it out of the bag, hang it from somewhere high and drape the train over a chair rather than let it just hang in the bag- so I'm sure that helped. The smell wasn't offensive, just more "funny"- I'm also pretty sensitive to smells so it could have been worse for me than other people. miguelhilary, that is something I didn't think of. The pool was still open during our wedding in October (and may be a problem if you have a gorgeous day - what a catch 22 there), but it was high 50's and slightly raining (we were still able to have ours under the awning though) so it wasn't a problem. There were some "spectators" from the upstairs window at the corner of the building that showed up in a couple pics, but they didn't bother us during the ceremony at all.

    miguelhilary2010 - a drawback to having your wedding in a public place. Same thing happens at beach weddings. Fat people in bathing suits gather around to watch. But I'd say the beautiful settings offset lack of privacy.

    I live around the corner from Yeon and take suits there and some BM dresses all the time.  My whole family uses her.  We love her and have never noticed the "smell" issue.

    Thank you!And just to clarify: I think Yeon did a wonderful job, I got a great price, and I would still totally recommend her. The "smell" was minor, and like I said, it may have been more noticeable for me than someone else because I am admittedly pretty sensitive to smells.

    Congratulations, Amy!!I just wanted to chime in, also, and say that I used Yeon for my dress and my sister used her for her BM dress and neither of us experienced any sort of funny odors.

    Congrats!!! I was wondering if Somers Point Florist was reasonable in price? I am on a budget and I am looking for a florist in that area that is not too expensive.
