No I almost went. I heard they have a pretty good selection, but I heard the place looks wired. There is another bridal shop across from them. You should try Lotus Bridal on ave U in B'klyn. Check their website.

I went with my girlfriend who purchased her gown and BM dresses there. I must say they were pretty nice. I have been there on their not so good days but it depends on who you get. My girlfriend dealt with Colette in the Bridal section and she was wonderful and patient. I went there 2 weeks ago.

Hi I'm an '08er crashing
I went to Lestan's when I started looking for my dress. Yes the place itself is a little wierd and outdated looking but they do have alot of dresses. My problem was that even though there were a ton of dresses they had nothing in the style I was looking for. If you are looking for poofy strapless dresses, this is the place to go.

Yes, fsil and mil and all her bridesmaids went there.... they messed up the bm dresses pretty bad, and then when fmil ordered hers.... (5 months before) it came THREE DAYS BEFORE and one size too small!

I really didnt like their service...i went with all of them for their fittings etc.

While Lotus is great, they do not have much of a selection when it comes to BM dresses.

I've been there and its a little weird/creepy but they do have a BIG selection of gowns and at reasonable prices!

GOOD LUCK!

If it's not too inconveniant for you n your BMs you might want to try RK bridal on 39th street in the city. I got my dress and BM dresses from them and I have no complaints and from what I can see they offer REALLY good prices. If you find a dress at Lestans that you like, RK might have it for slightly less $$... and we all like to save money right? They have what they call a no frills program where you do your own measuring and take it somewhere else to be altered but it can be substantially cheaper. My BM dresses there was difference of $42 with no alterations in thier programs. Some of my girls are ordering through the no frills program and some are just going straight through RK.
