Ladies that used Phyllis to purchase their gowns... can you give some feedback? I fell in love with a dress that is almost $2g's and she can get it for me for over 30% off.
Are they original dresses by the designer? Does she get you copies? I fell in love with the material and design of this dress and would hate to wait 6 months for it to come in and find out it's not exactly what I tried on elsewhere.
Thanks! I'm a worry-wart, so I just want to be sure!

Re: Phyllis at Gownfind/Bridal Elegance - question
she's a discounter--not a dress maker so yes, it is the real dress. she doesn't sell knockoffs.....kind of opens up your eyes to how ridiculously marked up dresses are that she can sell them for that price and STILL make a profit!

yeah, this is why I was asking... how she could get the dress for so much less and still make $... She does make custom dresses, though! Someone posted on here that they were having her make it.

wow...didn't know she did that! i know she's a seamstress,so i guess it's definitely possible!
either way, definitely get your dress from her and save some $$$$!

Re: Phyllis at Gownfind/Bridal Elegance - question
Seems good to order through her, it just makes me NERVOUS! I want the dress, but with a simpler skirt. Two salons told me they can order it for me, no problem, and I emailed Phyllis to see if she can do the same, but no response so far.
I was told the change is EASY to make, but they can charge up to $350 extra just for the change. She's also about an hour from my house, but if I can save the $$ and it's reputable, reasonable, etc., and she can order the dress with the change, I will consider it.

Yes I ordered my dress through her and it came back in less than 3 months. Im getting married in July and my dress is already here
She's great and have been great to work with. I went by her shop about 2 weeks ago to look at my dress and she told me to try it on. And I did and she spent so much time with me going over what alterations she was going to do, picking out veils, Tiaras and things like that.
She rocks, go meet her she saved me 400 bucks on my dress.
