Hi ladies,
I picked up my dress this past Saturday and since I'm very happy with my experience so far, I wanted to do a quick review of the store.
Tesi Bridal, Ventnor - Grade A so far
I went to Tesi's because both a friend of mine and my cousin bought their wedding gowns there. I recommend making an appointment so you can have their full attention and space to try on gowns (its a small store boutique). Tesi and her staff are very friendly and easy to work with. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience and find what you want. They will give their honest opinion about a dress, when solicited (I can appreciate that). Tesi can be contacted by phone or email which makes it very easy to get a hold of her. My dress was ordered in September and came in at the end of February. I have to take it back for a fitting in June, and anticipate that the seamstress there will do a good job, but I can post an update at a later time about alterations.
I know there are few stores between the "shore" and the Cherry Hill/Marlton area so I just wanted to share my experience.
Here's my dress!
