Sabrina Ann Once Worn and Never Worn Bridal

I had a great experience at Sabrina Ann. Mary Ann helped me try on dresses, and pulled all the right dresses for me. She was knowledgable, and personal, just the right mix for a bridal appointment. She didn’t pressure me, and gave me all the information I needed for making an informed purchase. I ultimately didn’t purchase my gown here, because I found «the one» somewhere else. However, when I called to cancel my second appointment, they congratulated me on finding a dress, even thought it wasn’t with them. I tried on 3 dresses here that were «strong contenders.» They satisfied my taste and budget (champagne taste on a beer budget!). Gorgeous designer gowns at a discounted price. If you are dress shopping, you shoud definitely make an appointment at Sabrina Ann’s!

We had an employee of Sabrina Ann’s make up team come to our house for my sisters wedding and she stole an iPad from our house. There is proof that she has taken it from improper handling of apple accounts and she still denies it. I intercepted text messages to my phone since my apple ID was used for both my iPad and iPhone. I would not recommend this place of business to anyone, it was supposed to be a very special day for my sister and now it is tainted by this misfortune.
The case is still open as of 10/​30/​2015.

Really Cute bridal salon with Great customer service. I found THE dress here… it was a sample, never worn, awesomely priced beauty! I’ll post a pic after my wedding ;)

Absolutely amazing!!! I cannot say enough positives about my time at Sabrina Ann. I am post 3 months of having a baby. After going locally to some shops around my area and having the smallest of dresses to try on and not even zippering, I was beginning to think I’ll never find anything. I was wrong. I not only had a ton of dresses to try on that fit like a glove, but I also find some I love! I completely fell in love with two, paying $ 25 to keep one on hold over the weekend. After this weekend, I still cannot decided on which one. I got a call first thing this morning from Sabrina herself after leaving a message Saturday after they closed. I told her my dilemma and asked if I could be squeezed in for an appointment tomorrow night to try both on one more time. Without hesitating, she has me scheduled. I had Amy for my original appt on Saturday and she was so nice and accommodating. All the ladies there are top notch. My appt was at 11:30am, got there by 11:15. Started my appointment right away. The girl before me was scheduled to come at 11 but was late by a half hour. When she showed up, they took her right back as well! The shop is small and it was very crowded but everyone there, from bride-​to-​be, family, and consultants all seemed to be enjoying their time! I will forever refer any bride I know, looking for a dress, to make a trip to Sabrina Ann!

Amazing amazing amazing. Now, I haven’t bought a dress here… yet (still looking bride), but I will go back after exhausting all my options. I think Ashlee helped me. She was awesome. The last dress I tried on was perfect and I may go back for that one, but as I said, still in my early processes of searching. She was extremely accommodating, helpful with pinning and clipping, and helped me evaluate what I liked and didn’t like. I also LOVE how some of the dresses are consignment. For an eco-​bride, they are one of the few that do it right.

I bought my dress here about a week ago. Mary Ann assisted me, and did exactly what I wanted. The staff are very professional, and help you find the look you want. I appreciate how the prepared me for our big day! I would’ve liked if they had made my experience leaving the shop more special – a picture or help taking my dress to the car. Felt uneventful after the purchase was made. Nevertheless I gave it 5 stars because I love my dress. Thank you Sabrina’s!
Note: We got turned around using the GPS, which doesn’t put you in the right location. Put Ardmore post office in your GPS & it’s across the street. You won’t be disappointed.

This review is LONG overdue… but I absolutely LOVED my experience with Sabrina Ann’s back in 2013.
I initially had a very disappointing time finding anything I liked when I started my wedding dress search — I went to David’s Bridal (just to get an idea of what style of dress I liked) and definitely did not enjoy my experience there, especially the part where I couldn’t try on dresses on my own without waiting for the sales associate’s assistance. I left incredibly disappointed at the options available and the price points.
I then googled once worn bridal shops and happily discovered that this place existed, and a plus was that it was so close to where I worked. I wasn’t available to come in during their store hours, so one of the sales associates offered to open the store up on a regularly closed business day just for me, which was more than I could have asked for.
I brought my sister along and the sales associate (I can’t remember her name now!) was incredibly friendly and helpful. The store was very clean and organized, and I was told that I could just start pulling any dresses from my size section to try on. This was very different than my experience at David’s Bridal. After grabbing a number of possibilities, the sales associate placed all of my options aside and opened up the dressing room for me. She helped me into every single dress — I think I tried on about 8. I narrowed it down to 2 dresses and even went back and forth trying them on and taking photos and videos with my sister. Meanwhile, the sales associate was so patient with us and was very genuine with her interest in my life, my wedding plans, and fiancé.
I put a deposit on my dress and then returned after two days after I made up my mind. The dress I went with was romantic, beautiful, fit me well, in excellent condition, and only needed a few alterations, which my mom did herself. I don’t think I would have been able to find anything I liked as much as this dress, and a major plus was that I bought it for more than 50% off the retail price!
I highly recommend Sabrina Ann — if you are in the beginning stages of looking for a dress, definitely check this place out before you start making the rounds to the expensive boutiques!

My first lesson when visiting Sabrina Ann is never use a GPS to get to Sabrina Ann. We ended up at someone’s home lol. The quicker way is to make a left off Lancaster Avenue onto Ardmore Avenue, as soon as you see Bryn Mawr Trust Bank on the left. The awning is a very very very pale green on the right. Bring quarters for the meters. Sabrina Ann sells once worn and new bridal gowns and accessories, flower girl and women’s formal attire, shoes and accessories. The shop is clean, well lit, organized and the dresses are in immaculate condition. Sabrina helped us and was very patient, helpful and kind. She’ll hold a dress for a few days for a $ 25 fee if you need to sleep on it. While I didn’t end up purchasing «the one» here, I will definitely consign with them and highly recommend checking them out.

I had a fantastic experience at Sabrina Ann’s. I was very nervous about shopping for my dress and finding the right fit for me. Sabrina was patient and attentive and within a half an hour she had already picked up on my style and was choosing and declining dresses exactly as I would have done. There was no pressure to hurry to decide and I was able to try on as many dresses as I wanted and then retry them on as many times as I needed. Not only did I find my wedding dress (which I loved) here but I had an excellent shopping experience with my family. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience here! They have a great selection of size 8÷10÷12 dresses, loads of accessories, and very helpful staff. Rachel helped me find my wedding dress over two appointments. She was a great adviser and she made a big effort to really understand my style and what I was looking for. Before the second appointment, she pulled a couple of dresses she thought I’d like and one of them turned out to be the one! She was also a great extra set of eyes to make sure all the dresses were flattering, even if they weren’t exactly right for me. The prices are fantastic! Everything I tried on was at least 50% off the retail price (with most between $ 600 and $ 1200). They get new stock in all the time so it’s nice to be able to come back and see some new things. They also have great recommendations for seamstresses to do alterations if you need them. You can take pictures in the store which I was prohibited from doing in some traditional bridal stores.
This is a fantastic store for the right type of bride. They’re a little more hands off, letting you step into the dress on your own and coming into the fitting room to zip you up. I liked this as it felt more efficient than in a traditional store where the assistant takes 5 minutes to get you dressed. If you need space for a huge entourage or want a vast room to parade around in, this might not be the store for you.

I called, just to confirm, and it’s kind of shitty that they don’t sell dresses in larger sizes. Maybe it’s a matter of space, but I’m just disappointed. Good thing I didn’t waste my time making an appointment and going.

Must have been an off day, but I’ve had better service at Starbucks. The women in the store were terse and unsmiling. They had a great selection and really amazing prices, so I’d still recommend stopping by.

I wouldn’t be happy with my bridal dress shopping experience if I hadn’t made a quick stop to Sabrina’s to find out if there was any deals that I could take advantage of before I bought my wedding dress. I figured I had nothing to lose and I made an appointment. Walking in, the store is really cute and quaint. It smells really good and the only reason that I knew that is a consignment shop is because I had done some homework ahead of time. The saleswoman explained that all of the dresses are professionally cleaned before they make it to the store and that they are either sample dresses or wedding dresses worn once. They assigned a sales woman to help me and she assisted zipping my dress up. They brought out some nice dresses and unfortunately I didn’t find anything that was exactly what I wanted but I did find a Jim Hjelm piece that was almost perfect except that it was a little bit too tight. I could have had it let out but I knew that it was not the One. At least I got the opportunity to try on a Jim Hjelm dress original retail $ 5000. The store offers a $ 25 fee to hold a dress. The fee is non-​refundable but if you really do like the dress it does make sense to put it on hold. There were some great brands at Sabrina Ann bridal. They carried everything from $ 5,000 dresses all the way down to $ 200 dresses original price tag. Everything seem to be about ½ off retail or slightly more than half off retail. Overall it was a good experience and I’m glad that I checked it out. Unfortunately they didn’t have what I needed but if they did, it would have been a great deal. I may go back to the store to buy the veil because they also sell veils, bridal sashes, bridal jackets, and even shoes. I don’t see the sense in paying full price for a veil that I’m only going to wear for an hour or so. The Bridal jewelry that they had was also notable. They don’t sell bridesmaids dresses but they do sell mother of the bride dresses. The saleswoman also told me that they have prom dresses downstairs. I should bring my prom dress for resale. I don’t know much about labels but here are some that I saw at Sabrina Ann: Daniel Mota $ 6200 retail selling for $ 2500. Jim Hjelm $ 3,800 selling for $ 1750. Other brands: Eva Milady, Davids Bridal, Mon Cheri, Demetrios. Happy shopping!

I had a great experience at Sabrina Ann’s. I’m getting married in June 2014 and had made my first bridal gown appointment at Sabrina’s via e-​mail. They were very responsive, accommodating and polite. They even went above and beyond, allowing me to bring a dress that was given to me by one of my coworkers so I could try it on alongside the dresses at the shop. How awesome of them! When I came to the store yesterday, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and I worked with a consultant named Rachel, who was fabulous and patient. She made lots of great recommendations and was instrumental in helping me select the perfect gown for me, as well as a veil to match! The selection is great — the store has a boutique/​vintage feel, is lined wall to wall with beautiful gowns, and has a large selection of veils and jewelry, with some shoes as well. I should also say that, coming into the store, I had my heart SET on the dress that I was walking in with (who wouldn’t want a free gown??) and was planning on ultimately just matching it with a veil… but I found a dress that absolutely blew my mind and didn’t completely break my budget. All in all, my never-​worn dress by Isabella Chessari was $ 750 (originally $ 1500) and double-​veil with sparkling details all along the fringe was $ 160 (unsure of original price)… so I think I made out well :) I would recommend them to anyone.

Great store! I was dreading bridal gown shopping but it ended up being a pleasure. Rachael was wonderful. She was helpful, attentive, and did not rush us at all (and we were there for a long time). There were many gorgeous gowns to choose from and the price was very reasonable.

I had a wonderful experience at this store. We actually took my sister here to try on gowns last year, and one of the consultants remembered us! Amy, the consultant with whom we worked as wonderful. She picked up on my style right away, and made great suggestions. She was also warm, friendly, and I always felt she had my best interest in mind. I found a beautiful never-​worn gown for an amazing price-​under $ 500, and I never like the least expensive thing available. Plenty of dresses in my size. I am a street size 6, and found a gown in an 8 that needs minimal alterations.
Worth mentioning I had to change my appointment three times as I was coming in from out of town, and they were wonderful-​other shops would never have been so polite/​understanding. A+ in my book

I went with my friend who is getting married next year and I was so pleased with this place!
Having been a bride (last year) I know the stresses that dress shopping can bring.
We first went to Bijou Bridal, which was horrible. The saleslady there was absolutely no help.
On to Sabrina Ann– the place is not gorgeous, but the sales staff is so helpful! The woman helping my friend kept telling her how we could adjust various dresses she liked in order to make them work (sizing, bustling, hemming). We spent about 4 hours there and we never felt rushed! Ultimately she did purchase a gown here and they referred her to a seamstress who will do all the work mentioned by the saleswoman (Amy-​?).
Wonderful place with wonderful service– which is hard to find in the bridal business~!

UPDATE ⁷⁄₂₃: I’ll update them from one star to two considering they finally agreed to reverse the charges on my card on Friday ⁷⁄₂₀ and it took until today to post, but that is still two days after receiving the returned shoes and one day after I gave them my card number. Another bonus is that they credited what I spent for shipping, which was more than I expected but in the end, I am still miffed that they advertised a certain shoe, confirmed it with me and in the end, I got nothing that was agreed upon. Especially to this frazzled bride, it was the last thing I needed.
7÷21÷12:
I’m very upset at this place — What I thought would be a wonderful experience with this place has turned into a giant clusterf**k. I live in Los Angeles, and thanks for the internet, I found this store to have the mother of all wedding shoes (Angela Nuran) on sale and in my size. I have the most common women’s shoe size (sz 7) so if they are in my size and on sale, I’ll pounce.
I promptly call and place the order for the Eternity shoes, that are PICTURED with the 3 ½″ heel and order them from Sabrina herself. I hang up after the order and call back because my spidey senses tell me to verify that these are indeed the 3 ½″ heel size because they are also made in a stumpy 2″ inch size I had no interest in. I’m 5’4″, my fiancé is 6’7″ — I need the taller shoe. She measures them and confirms they are the taller ones I am seeking.
Fast forward a week, and I am anxiously waiting for the frikkin’ shoes. My heart does somersaults when I see the box arrive and I excitedly tear that sucker open, only to see that they sent me the shoes, in the right size, but in the g*ddamn 2″ stumpy heel size I made crystal clear I did NOT want. WTF!!! These aren’t even the ones pictured on the web! I ship those hideous short shoes back and ask for my money back, with a note to call me for my credit card # to process the return. They receive the shoes back on a Wednesday (verified by tracking) and no call from them, so I call on Thursday and give them my card number to get my money back.
It is Saturday and no refund has posted. I am livid. YOU DO NOT MESS WITH A BRIDE WHO IS ALREADY LOSING IT PLANNING A WEDDING!!! As it is, the delay in having the correct shoes is pushing back when I can schedule the alterations on my dress. Now, I had to order them from somewhere else and am in waiting limbo and very angry when I should have had the right shoe by now.
I work full time in a stressful job and am trying to get my wedding in order at the same frikkin’ time. You do NOT run a bridal business with such lack of follow through, knowing that your end customer is already most likely stressed with everything else going on. Now, I will need to take time out of my busy day on Tuesday, when they re-​open, to make sure they do their job and refund my money. INFURIATING!!!

This place is pretty cute. It’s certainly got the feel of a consignment shop, as it’s small and packed to the gills and there are some questionable items for sale (boxes of junky $ 1 costume jewelry by the door?) but the dresses are in beautiful condition. I’m not exactly a sample sizeand still had a fair number of dresses to pick from in my size and even got to try on an adorable Melissa Sweet dress that retails for around $ 4000 dollars. The sticker price at Sabrina Ann’s? $ 250. I KNOW. (The only reason I’m not wearing it, like, right now is that it was just a little too cupcake-​y for me. So sad!)
Be advised that if you’re using an older GPS, it’s going to take you to a golf course instead of the actual store. Keep going down the road for another mile or so. After figuring this out and arrived about twenty minutes late for my appointment (ack!), I found only one woman on staff, but she was very sweet. This did mean, though, that when someone else came in to consign some items, I was left on my lonesome in the not-​very-​private dressing room.
Am I being overly critical? Probably. I’m torn! I want to give Sabrina Ann’s a higher score, I really do, as I might even come back to choose from their extensive selection of jewelry and accessories… but something holds me back. If you’re looking for a luxurious experience, this obviously isn’t going to be your first stop. If you’re looking to score a sweet deal on a pretty dress, though, this might just be what you’re looking for. Absolutely drop in if you know a little about what you want or if you’re looking for some sparkle for your big day.

AMAZING!
Got tipped off about this place by my most fashion savvy friend, who is always on top of the latest deals! I didn’t know where to even begin my wedding dress search and probably would have started off at David’s or an expensive boutique downtown. Glad I came here!
We had the most gracious, and patient, sales girl, Rachel. My two 7 year old nieces were there to help, and she was so composed and helpful, I was impressed!
Prices vary from $ 165 (I KNOW) to $ 2200. (Most common price seemed to be 750 and 1220). I did hear a salesgirl tell another client that they do offer higher end dresses if that’s what you’re looking for.
Dresses are either never worn or worn once. The store also offers accessories, veils and jewelry. I recommend this establishment for their variety and service. They seemed to offer the most popular, and unique fashions, so selection should not be a worry.
What are you waiting for, make an appointment today!!!
