Reviews of Party Dress Express (Costumes)

Michelle Carter

Everyone here was so helpful and the variety of dresses was so much better than anything at David’s bridal!

Arden Ripley

I just bought my wedding dress from Party Dress Express today and I had the most wonderful experience there. I was nervous about dress shopping, because I'd never been before - I only own one dress, and I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near a typical bride, so I was afraid shopping for my dress was going to be more stressful than anything else. This place was wonderful! My family and I had an amazing time shopping there. The women who helped us out were so charming and kind, and willing to take care of everything for us. They made the whole process fun and enjoyable, and were happy to pull gowns off the racks for us as well as suggest ones they thought I'd like. I never felt like they were pressuring me to buy something, they just seemed to be having as much fun as I was. I didn't expect to walk out with a payment on a dress, but I ended up finding the perfect one - on their clearance rack, for just $500! They have a huge selection and the customer service has been great so far. I'll definitely be going back to purchase my accessories, too. The store is located in an area that seems a little sketchy, but I can't recommend this place and the customer service highly enough.

I came to Party Dress Express with one bridal gown in mind to try on. I let the staff know the specific dress I was looking for and they wrre able to schedule an appointment for me the next day. Once I arrived, all of the staff were SUPER nice! I had the pleasure of working with Denise, who was ahhh-mazing!! She listened to ideas I had on making the dress my own, and I loved how honest she was in describing what my ideas would require from the seamstress. She also provided me fantastic alternatives to make the dress "mine", which were beyond helpful. AND, to top it off, she pulled some strings so I could call my mom, who lives out-of-state, on FacetiFa so she could be a part of the whole process. I can't speak highly enough about my experience, I HIGHLY recommend them, especially Denise :) Thank you so much to the staff at Party Dress Express for the lovely, anxiety-free bridal dress shopping experience!!

michelle levesque

Great dresses and amazing people work there

Catherine Ann

Really beautiful dresses ill admit but the customer service is horrible. Both times I went I got treated like I didnt belong in a dress shop and was too poor to be in there. First time I was looking at wedding dresses for pure fun and I had a lady come up to me after staring at me and for a while and leering at me and told me the clearance dresses couldn't get altered. Second time I went for real and they kept insisting I go above my size and budget and acted awkward because I wanted a wedding dress lower than a grand....you dont need to spend that much on a dress or more unless you really want to. Ill never go there again becsuse I never feel welcomed...

Nadine Korman

Found my dream wedding dress here! Very helpful staff! Highly recommend Teresa as she was very helpful to me!

janina messerlian

I have gone to this store for every dance since sophomore year and I am currently a senior. Every single time I have gone in the past I had an amazing experience and being a plus size girl I greatly appreciated that. However yesterday I went with my friend to find senior prom dresses and found one I adored. I had previously bought a dress so had to explore my options of exchange. The manager (jessica or Jackie something like that) came over toward the end and was snappy from the start and when I continued asking questions got ruder and ruder so I asked her to please not be so rude and she YELLED at me in front of my friend and said she wasn't speaking to me and then laughed at me. I have never had such a terrible customer service experience anywhere especially not a dress store. I have always been loyal but now will not return due to this experience.

A great experience. There's was great!

Cece Cat

Great place, wonderful selection. Sales staff is mostly good. They really need to change the name of this place.

Catie G

Friendly and helpful staff. Lots and lots of dress options for reasonable prices

Duffy Hilbert

My husband, his groomsmen and both our fathers rented tuxedos from Megan at Sarno & Son tuxedo rental (inside the Cinderella Bridal salon). Their prices were by far the most reasonable of any of the several tuxedo places we considered, and Megan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in selecting our tuxedos/shoes/etc and measuring my husband and my dad. They can do minor on-site alterations there, and they have an extremely wide selection of any of the Savvi formalwear tuxedos--like Men's Wearhouse, except they actually know what they're doing and the prices are better. Megan and the folks at Sarno and Son were great to work with, and we'd happily go back there for any future tuxedo-rental needs!

Jasmine Messier

Dresses are always partially messed up, or not even remotely good for curvey women

Elaine Mckenzie

Options if your ready to take something home. But unhelpful and showed us discontinued items which was no help at all.

I GOT MY DREAM DRESS

Samantha Bourbeau

5 stars honestly doesn't do it justice, they are a 10 in my book! I said yes to my dress at Party Dress Express today. I cannot say enough about how wonderful of an experience myself and my family had! My consultant, Denise, was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the different designers styles and she listened to mt thought. They even allowed me to come back after going to another appointment and put the dress back on so that I could be sure of my choice! Just all around excellent service, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, and amazingly genuine people! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could not be happier with my choice and cannot wait to go back and get my bridesmaid's dresses and more!

Renee St Laurent

I've had nothing but great experiences shopping at dress express throughout the years. From homecomings to proms and selecting bridesmaids dresses everyone there was always been incredibly helpful and polite.

Natasha Tabla

Great selection! Amazing prices! I made an appt for bridal and bridesmaid shopping and was greeted right away they even had fitting rooms blocked off for me! My girls and myself all found dresses! I will recommend party dress for all your wedding needs ;)

Kendra Bourne

I had an absolutely amazing experience here with Fatima. I live in NYC, but many of the stores there did not carry the specific styles I wanted to see. I had heard great things about Party Dress Express and they did not disappoint. Fatima was amazing and patient. I described what I liked (I had been to a few other places so I had a specific idea of what I wanted). She selected gowns that fit my style, and helped me envision them with different fabric colors. She was an expert at making the sample gowns fit with clips to help me get an idea of what I wanted. One of my favorite things about this salon is that I was not pressured at all into making a decision. My family and friends were able to have an amazing time and just go with the flow of trying things on. I ended up saying yes to the dress thanks to their wonderful service and beautiful selection. Fatima and Party Dress Express, thanks for everything! You guys brought my ideas to reality for the big day.

Hidden gem! I went to another bridal shop before coming to Party Dress Express. The other bridal shop was more formal, and though the stylist was nice, I wasn't 100% comfortable & I didn't feel comfortable to be honest with her or ask questions. At Party Dress Express, I immediately felt comfortable when I walked through the doors with my mom & sister. The staff looked over right away & 1 staff helped check us in. It wasn't overwhelming. Everyone was friendly & had smiles, but were not overwhelming. You could tell all the staff loved what they do & were there to help. Fatima Cabral was the stylist assigned to us, and she was perfect! So enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helped stick to what I was looking for. She was respectful of my budget and helped guide us, along with giving our group space & our own freedom to shop around. Other stores hover too much, try to pick out styles for you that you're not interested in, and try to pressure you to buy. Fatima was able to read us well & gave us the right balance of guidance & expertise, along with freedom & space. I ended up taking home a dress that same day & paid $500 for it! It was in great condition & was only out on the racks for a couple months. Lots of options. able to order different colors as well (champagne, ivory, white). Could not have asked for a better experience! After bridal dress shopping, we shopped around for my mom's dress & my sister's bridesmaid dress. Other shops require appts for mother of the brides & bridesmaids too. Jill was the stylist that jumped in and helped us. She was so enthusiastic & also gave us the right balance of guidance & space. She worked with us on styles & price as well. My sister walked out with her dress off the clearance rack for $15 !!! incredible. so many colors & styles. We drove an hour to check out Party Dress Express & I would highly recommend it to anyone! so worth it! These ladies have been doing this for years & it shows.

I made an appointment last minute and they were able to squeeze me in on a Saturday. My mother had come in from out of state so I was looking for a dress not only for myself but her. They paired me up with a woman named Rosemary who is just about the most amazing helpful person ever. Not only did she help me stay within my price range but she pick helped me pick out my dress. It was absolutely perfect and only within 45 minutes of the start of my appointment. Our second appointment was supposed to start at 12 PM, However she fit us in And hour early and also helped us pick out our Bridesmaids dresses just as quick. Her taste was just spot on for my needs with so few questions, and getting to know each other. I cannot recommend Rosemary and party dress express enough they really did make being a bride so easy and I really appreciate it

Alison Auger

So so so expensive for anything nice. Not to mention all dresses size like 12 and up are all very elderly looking. Nothing beautiful in the plus size section. Very size 1 3 5 based

Joarel Barros

Lots of options!

Amy Blanchette

Great selection of dresses. Staff are always friendly and make it a point to assure you leave looking your best.

Janet Jones

My daughter had an appointment for a wedding dress. She had not picked it up and she came here to look for 1. The wonderful lady who helped her, I think her name was Camilla, was very helpful and brought out several dresses I know. My daughter finally said Yes to the dress after about an hour and a half of fitting other dresses

Stephanie Kilgore

I've had 2 experiences here. One looking for a bridesmaid dress and one helping my friend find a wedding dress. The first time was okay. I definitely think it depends on who you get. She wasn't super helpful. The second time was great! Kelly was very helpful, understood what my friend was looking for, and was able to easily help even when my friend's vision changed. Overall I recommend this place for any of your formal dress needs!

Greg Bisset

everything was great during my fitting

Gina Brosnahan

Dresses were organized, employees were very helpful and honest.

Valerie Maier-Speredelozzi

Huge selection of dresses in all colors!

Thomas Clark

Very nice and clean. Great prices

Ali Connell

Lots of stock and styles to try from but crazy high pressure tactics. I was fully aware that I was cutting it close and told her this and once I found a dress I liked she just kept repeating over and over how I had no time to waste. They even offer special discounts for additional services (altering, bridesmaids, accessories etc) if you buy the first time you're there. Oh and their prices were no different from the retail prices suggested by the designers websites. Go someplace nicer and pay the same price.

Jenny Sharpe

This place was terrible. They have a big selection but any dress that was on sale was stained, missing beads or in poor condition. Also, the staff are far from helpful. We asked for help finding a wedding dress and not one, but three different clerks told us they couldn't help us. Then, we finally had a sales woman pull two flower girl dresses off the sale rack for us. When we brought them to the register, we were then told they were full price (difference of over $300). We explained that they were on the sale rack and that one of their employees had helped us and confirmed they were on sale and both the manager and cashier were beyond rude and didn't honor the sale price. I'd never go here again and honestly don't know how they're still in business.

Lorynn Silva

Great selection, helpful and accommodating staff, but very expensive

Daughter got a bridesmaid dress there. They were so busy but staff was nice to us.

Lisa O'Neill

The ladies were wonderful. The prices were reasonable.

Becky Gremillion

I would not use this company ever for online orders again. I ordered a MOG dress in June for an October wedding. I was told it was a quick ship, which they did ship in 2 weeks. The size I ordered, they said wouldn't fit though I told them I had tried a dress in that size in that brand. They sent me a size larger. It was HUGE all over. I asked for a return and the size ( smaller) I originally ordered. This replacement dress mysteriously wasn't shipped until September 8th though it still showed a quick ship. I had to email them several times asking about the dress. Their response was always a little curt. The dress fits perfectly but was a hassle. While I was waiting for this dress I decided I better order something else as I was nit confudent Party Dress Express would preform. I used Terry Costa online. They will actually give you a refund one time and I received my dress within 10 days from ordering . They also communicated several times keeping me updated and called to make sure I liked the dress. Use Terry Costa if ordering online.

Natalie Raposa

Great service and selection! Always find exactly what I am looking for. The staff is the best around ♥️

steven Correia

To expensive.

Stephanie Jones

The dresses/designers are great quality!I've purchased multiple for various formal occasions and give quality 5 stars. However, the saleswoman for my maid of honor dress insisted I go up a dress size when the size I tried on was far too big already on my chest and body. She did this in hopes of me returning to their store for alterations and I am beyond angry at her and myself for listening to her and purchasing the larger dress. The top on my 2 sizes too large dress required DRASTIC alterations from my tailor that could have easily been avoided if the saleswoman wasn't so geared towards getting business for their tailor. I highly recommend you go with your gut on the fit of the dress you're wearing-the sales people here don't have your best interest in mind. My dress is beautiful but only after 2 fittings and 135 dollars later at a tailor to make the dress actually fit me. It was taken in 2 sizes and the top reconstructed to fit me. Size 6 regularly, tried on an 8 and it fit large on the top, sales woman insisted on a 10 and because she was adamant that I needed it I did it. Buyer beware. Trust your gut.

Stephen Day

Everything you need

John Malouf

I got my daughters sweet 16 and pagent dresses here and now my future brides dresses here

Kristine Taylor

I had the best time finding my wedding dress here. Liz was so helpful, nice and patient while I tried on numerous dresses--finally narrowing it down to the one. She really made me feel comfortable, and kept giving me accessories to fit the whole look together. The owner was lovely to me as well. The selection was excellent, and the prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this shop!

Ashley Wilson

I shopped at this store many years ago and I think it has gone down hill a little. Although the staff is very friendly and helpful, the selection is poor in my opinion.

Danny Jacob

Can't tell you much I wasn't there so I don't know why I'm even being asked this

florence micarelli

I recently discovered Savvi in Fall RIver, and my experiences there have been superb! I"ve been there on several occasions and the salesperson Jade was exceptional in fulfilling my needs! For special ordering, I received the items in just 3 days...The prices are excellent and I have sent many customers there since my first visit... We were particularly grateful for the personal attention given us by Jade... She made the process a pleasant one!... Also, she was very knowledgeable and was able to give us suggestions.... We will continue to use them and suggest you give them an opportunity to fulfill your needs... Excellent experience......

Richard Mulready

Great help

Faith King

My mother needed a dress for my upcoming wedding in November so we decided to come here. My mother is very picky lol and modest (she’s in her mid to late 60’s). I have to say ALL of the staff that interacted with us were very friendly and more importantly made my mother feel very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Party Dress Express to anyone. If I didn’t already get my wedding dress, I would’ve purchased from them.

TheTrishalyn

So many dresses! Priced from $50-$500 in every color you can imagine. The staff was really helpful even though we arrived shortly before close. It seems all sales are final and they don't do alterations but you can get a great deal on a fantastic dress here.

Alyssa Martin

I had a really good experience here, both times. I had went to get my prom dress but I couldn't since someone else had already bought it for my school and they wont sell the same dress twice for the same school. And when they told me that I was literally heart broken. But they worked so hard to find me another dress that I loved and wanted to buy. They asked me what I liked and after they were pulling dresses for me to try on so I could find a dress that I loved again. Along with that the people and manager where so nice to me and my mother. Very understanding and helpful!

Luke Zammit

Easter Bunny Rocked, all the girls were incredibly nice to my son. Kelly was spectacular!

I had the best experience finding a dress. Gabi was super helpful in searching for a Great Gatsby themed elegant dress and in suggesting a head band. Thank you also to the amazing alteration company next door!!! Wooohoooo!

Jessica Champney

Bought my wedding dress here. The staff are super helpful

Sonia Stevens

I went here and found my perfect wedding dress. The woman Rebecca who helped me was so wonderful. I had a blast looking through dresses and everyone was so nice. I also found my bridesmaids dresses here. They had a wonderful selection and I got a really good deal through a trunk sale. So pleased!

Enid Santos

Visited this place with my niece who was shopping for a wedding dress. Very nice dresses and the customer service was great. Very helpful employees.

corrin finnell

Great dress selection, Angelique was so helpful, but not happy that the designers tack on a plus size upcharge of $40! Bridesmaids dresses are already expensive!

Niamh Kingham - Perreault

Great selection of bridal wear. Fatima who helped me was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Didn't feel pressured or stressed. A really lovely start to my wedding dress hunt. I will be back!

Andrea Jackson

erica demedeiros

Staff is super helpful and friendly.

Gerry Fontaine

I went with my granddaughter and we met with Theresa who was fantastic and very patient. Her knowledge for what she was looking for was amazing. My granddaughter found her perfect gown. Thank you Theresa!

Yamaris Vazquez

Im getting married and i had the BEST experiance here! Was worth the hour drive. AnneMarie found exactly what i wanted in the budget that i had. Go here for all you dress needs!

Jessica Ruggieri

Myself and my maid of honor just left party dress express and I was very happy with our experience!’ They had a great selection and the help was even better. Theresa B was amazing and so so so helpful. She made us feel comfortable and welcome and was so great at putting her input in to help make the best decision I could make for my bridesmaids. Have made the experience enjoyable and service like that is just so appreciated especially when your dealing a stressful time like planning a wedding. Thank you again Theresa!!! I will definitely be sending ladies your way for their special day!!!!

Kerri Szolusha

Went to party dress express to find my wedding gown! Marlene was very patient, helpful, and accommodating! I didn’t feel rushed, pushed, and I found something wonderful on the clearance rack. I ended up putting that dress on hold to go to another store for an appointment. The other store had me waiting 40+ minutes past my appointment time so I left, and I ended up accepting that it was fate. I went back before close and bought my wonderful dress! The girls at party dress express were extremely happy for me. Thank you to everyone, especially Marlene for helping me pick a wonderful dress!

Karen Bouchard

Ladies are wonderful and helpful wouldn't go anywhere else

Amanda Colligan

Though I did not end up purchasing my dress here, I had the most wonderful experience trying dresses on. The selection was great, but a step up price-wise from somewhere like David's Bridal. My consultant's name was Denise and she was phenomenal. She made me, as a plus-sized bride, feel beautiful and comfortable. She made some great suggestions and really made me and my family feel completely at ease. She wrote everything down for me and double-checked the prices with me so that when and if I came back, I would know what to expect. Though I didn't find my perfect dress, I would definitely recommend this store to ANY bride, especially plus-sized brides - they had an amazing collection! Thank you Denise!

Roberta Ingrid

Customer service was horrible. Asked a lady to help me look for prom dress she literelluy said “ all we have is here take your time “ and walked away.. i left the store didn’t even look for dresses!

Sheri Costa

Not a great selection in plus sizes. But overall good experience

Regina Smith

My daughter and I shopped last evening. We had a great experience and lots of fun. My daughter found the perfect prom dress. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the trip!

Fred Kelley

Hugh selection of reasonably priced dresses!

Patricia Lage

I bought my Mother of the Bride dress here and while there is a great selection and the prices were reasonable because they included the alterations, I was so disappointed when I went to pick up my gown a couple of days before the wedding and the customer service was terrible. They gave me a specific time for pickup and there were so many people there picking up that I felt ignored. When they did find my dress which only had alterations on the straps and they took some material off the side so it would look straighter and less poofy, it was all wrinkled. The dress was tafetta and I complained that the dress was wrinkled and I wanted it pressed. She said that was the best that they could do because of the material it was made of. When I insisted that they press it, she said you will have to leave it and come back, which was impossible as the Wedding was on the Cape and I would have no time to get back to Fall River to get it the night of the rehearsal dinner. She then warned me not to try to press it myself as I might damage it. Needless to say I hung it up and hoped for the best but was totally upset when the dress just didn't looked pressed properly for the wedding. After the wedding, I dropped the dress off at the dry cleaners and it came back beautifully pressed! Now I was even more furious that Party Express gave me my dress wrinkled. In the future, I will insist on picking up my dress at least a couple of weeks before the wedding to avoid this problem and I certainly won't be going back to Party Dress Express!

Corey Mason

very helpful from a customer coming from pittsburg. Thanks for all your help

Kathy Almeida

Helped my granddaughter find her First Communion dress all by myself. No employee assistance was offered at all. FRI. 4/20/18.

Get your quinceñera dress here!

Nancy G

I always find the perfect dress for all of my occasions here for an amazing price.

Kimberly Roberts

Had my very first dress appointment today (yay!) However, my experience was not one I’d like to relive. As you ladies (and men) know this is such an exciting time for us, especially when it comes to finding the dress for your big day, and it should be handled with excitement and thrill for the buyer. Unfortunately this was not the case at Party Dress Express in Fall River. Please don’t be mislead by their website as they do not cater in store to many people over a size 12. They also do not have all colors available in store, you can order them, but as a first time buyer I felt very mislead. I understand you can’t have everything in every size in stock, but options need to be there. But, the problem isn’t the business itself or the dresses. My main concern is with their staff. Our consultant wasn’t warm from the start, she wasn’t rude but didn’t seem like she cared that I was satisfied at all. I felt more like I was shopping for a funeral rather than a wedding. She was consistently ignoring my requests for the styles I like, trying to put me into dresses that were very under sized. For someone who is a trained consultant, this should be the first skill you learn. As I watched the other bridal parties be treated with respect, offered snacks and beverages while they waited, my group was not given any of this consideration. There was dress on a mannequin that I was very interested in trying on and, as another staff member offered to remove it for me, my consultant flat out told her no because I “already had enough dresses.” She did not respect a single request I gave, giving me essentially the opposite. It was like going shopping for a convertible and the salesman only shows you minivans. To top everything off, after emotional stress on a day that should be treated with care, she pulled open the curtain on my half-naked body while getting dressed. This is absolutely unacceptable and was emotionally scarring to a degree that no person in a public setting should ever feel. As a marketer of a business, and as a member of the community, I am absolutely appalled at what happened to me today. If any of you lovely ladies have any recommendations for another shop that offers more respect to their patrons, please let me know. I was willing to drop $4000, and unfortunately for Party Dress Express, they will not be receiving any business or referrals from me.
