I went to buy a dress for a wedding. I have a large stomach and always try to cover it. She had a turquoise dress with a little cover jacket but size 6. It was way too tight but Phyllis(owner) said it looked great. I would not get it. But I liked the style and manufacturer. She pulled out a catalogue and we browsed thru pictures and I saw one I liked. She ordered me at 8 and I forgot to ask the price. Gave her my credit card info and I checked my card statement after a few days and could not believe I just ordered a $ 500 dress. My mistake for not asking. 3 weeks later the dress arrives. I go try it on and it is again too tight. But again am told it looks great. They will not refund my money but only do store credit. On top of that she charged me $ 20.00 to defer the shipping costs. I returned the dress. Be careful when shopping at the Nest because you better like what you buy, do not order anything because you too could be stuck with a store credit!!!

This a wonderful place to shop for bridal dresses and other clothes for special occasions. We are purchasing our second bridal dress here and Phylis couldn’t be more helpful. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. A must stop for the bride to be or dresses for other special occasions!

I had a bridal wonderful experience at the nest working with the owner and her assistant. She doesn’t have a ton of dresses but the line she does have is beautiful and very customizable. I was able to get exactly what I wanted. Phyllis is so helpful and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend looking here for bridal.

The day after Christmas, I decided I was finally willing to try on wedding dresses. Something I had put off for a few months. We called The Nest as I had passed by there recently and noticed their beautiful dresses in the window. The owner was there and she was only open for another hour, yet she told us to come by! This was a great experience. In just under an hour, she had me in 4 different dresses, all were gorgeous and I will have a hard time deciding. This shop is a great find and I really enjoyed working with the owner(her name escapes me right now). The shop was filled with great dresses and accessories. They did not have a huge bridal selection, maybe 30 dresses, but within that 30, there were several that I loved. I also really like the bridal dress designer that this store works with. They are willing to customize anything about your wedding dress and the prices are reasonable.

I enjoyed my visit and cherish my purchase. This is the sort of shop where you go once a month or once a quarter just to buy yourself something special, just because. And because we are worth it, the price is worth saving up for. I noticed that they also have prom dresses and wedding fittings. Welcoming, friendly, and kind no matter my size. Truly, genuinely a special place to reward all your hard work or stress. Colleen is superb.

I heard about Nest at a Bridal Fair, and took my mother and mother-in-law in to find dresses for my June wedding. Phyllis was amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable. She knew what would fit their bodies and made them feel beautiful. Because my mothers are from So Cal and Texas, Phyllis was accommodating and said she would ship the dresses to their homes when they arrived in 3 months. We left in high spirits, and I even returned a few weeks later to purchase a cute white dress to wear to my rehearsal dinner. Each time I visited, Phyllis was very helpful and gave a generous military discount. Why 4 starts instead of 5? Well, the mothers each paid $ 40 extra in order to have their expensive dresses custom made to their measurements. We rationalized this extra fee would pay off greatly when they didn’t need alterations, and they felt excited that their dresses would fit perfectly straight out of the box. But when they received their dresses, they were both devastated to find that they didn’t fit ATALL. My mother’s was much too large and unflattering, which required extensive alterations by a professional bridal seamstress who knew the ins and outs of working with chiffon, runching, and boning. My mother-in-law’s was not only far too large, but also 11″ longer than what she had ordered! Because the dress was a one piece with a scalloped lace hem, the seamstress couldn’t simply shorten it but instead had to modify the dress from the top down and try to hide the funky edges with the accompanying jacket. The alterations for both women were expensive and added stress because their«perfect» dresses had to be disassembled and reassembled weeks before the wedding. Fortunately in the end, they both looked stunning and felt comfortable on the wedding day. I called Phyllis to explain this dilemma, feeling confident that she would try to remedy the situation. Unfortunately she was out of town, and although her employee promised she would call me back, I never heard from her. To this day, we don’t know if it was Phyllis that measured the women improperly or the dress company, Jade, that manufactured the dresses poorly and/or ignored the custom measurements. The bottom line is that yes, I would visit Nest again because we had a lovely experience and enjoyed her full selection of dresses. I would just not recommend to pay extra for custom measurements.

I absolutely LOVE this store! Phyillis is Awesome! I had a really big dilemma about 2 weeks before my daughter’s big event. She still had not picked out her dress for her big day! I went to about 10 stores that said, it was to late to order anything for her and had the worst customer service skills. We were very stressed out. I came across THENEST online, and decided I would give them a try. I called phyllis and asked her if she could check on this dress my daughter wanted, and without any hesitation she checked and called me back and told me that they had the size and I would be able to get it in less than a week. She made our day! I finally could sleep knowing my daughter was going to get the dress she wanted. Phyllis called us right when it came in. When we picked up the dress it was absolutely Beautiful! My daughter Loved it! She has the BESTCUSTOMERSERVICESKILLS ever! I recommend this store for any of your clothing needs. She carries beautiful wedding dresses, bridemaids dresses, mother of the bride dresses, shoes, purses and alot more. Wow, I still can’t believe she was able to get the dress for us. My daughter really stood out in this dress, and was complimented all day long!
