My Kleinfeld experience

I had a nice time at Kleinfeld today. I took a ton of photos but they did not have all the gowns I wanted to try on. ETA - some are older styles that they do not have anymore and some are only available from the designer (i.e. Reem Acra)

I tried on some Justina McCaffrey gowns, Reem Acra & Romona Keveza.

Here are the pics of the Justina McCaffrey gowns. Jubilate, Magnificat & Shonna (front & back)

All of those dresses are beautiful. I bought my dress at Kleinfeld and Camille helped me too.

If you are interested in Reem Acra gowns go to Saks if you've not been there already. I found them to have a very large selection of Reem. I was also helped there by a woman named Camille (coincidence). She was very nice and honest and Saks was a great experience. I have her card, if you want info let me know.

Also...edited to add...

If you have not been to Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier (they carry Romona Keveza) you must absolutely see Sandra there...Sandra was so awesome. By far the best experience I had dress shopping.

Thanks so much for the info. I gave up on the Reem gowns already. Not one of them flattered me

The one Romona Keveza I wanted to try was not at Kleinfeld but Camille said it was VERY heavy. That changed my mind about Romona Keveza gowns. I don't want to have on some Malania Trump gown for a few hours.

This is the Romona Keveza I wanted to try though. It's number 385

For those ladies who went to Kleinfelds...

How far in advance did you have to make your appointment before you actually HAD the appointment?

If you ordered your dress, how long did it take from the point at which you ordered it?

Did you have to bring anything with you in terms of shoes, undergarments etc...?

I have to tell you that the first Justina dress-the one you like best-is absolutly gorgeous. I think I like it better than the other one on your other thread. Her dresses are so unique and beautiful.

I'm glad you had a good experience with Kleinfelds Katrina, but really...YOU TEASE! I thought we were going to see pictures of YOU in those dresses, not some ridiculous models. Anyway, do you think searching for the perfect gown will be as difficult as finding your perfect reception hall? Keep us updated, with BOTH decisions!

I am not in LOVE with anything yet but I do like 2 of the gowns I've tried in the last week. I am going to Bridal Reflections again.

Re: My Kleinfeld experience

I'm so glad you had a good experience and liked the Justina McCaffrey dresses. And I did the same thing with Jubilate when I tried it on, I paraded around the store. Good luck with the rest of your dress shopping and keep me updated!

Re: My Kleinfeld experience

Hi there! Just wondering if you ever found dress #385 by Romona Keveza? I am looking for that specific dress. I realize it is several years old, but I am hoping that I can still find one. I'd appreciate any help or insight you could offer! Thank you!
