Amazing shop for the customer service alone-Sarah, who helped us today was such a gem. She was so helpful, knowledgeable and she offered a couple of extra services that totally blew us away! She practically made our day- even getting excited about our wedding! Beautiful selection of all kinds of amazing dresses and traditional men’s suits.

I highly recommend By Design, Sarah was so helpful, supportive and patient in getting my wedding dress perfect for our wedding day. Having walked around multiple bridal shops and tried on over 20 dresses, I felt like I was never going to find the right dress, they were either the wrong style, shape or didn’t have straps. However, when we arrived at By Design, Sarah made me feel like anything was possible. I fell in love with a dress that didn’t have straps but her response was ‘no problem, I can add those‘ which just made my day! I absolutely love my dress, the straps Sarah added look perfect

Having shopped here twice now for bridesmaid dresses I have nothing but wonderful things to say. The staff are very patient and understanding. We all felt comfortable and free to try on many different styles of dresses. The help we received trying on the dresses was great they understood each persons individual styles. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress/Bridesmaid dress/ballgown. Excellent service. Thank you again!

After shopping around in a few different places, I settled on By Design for my wedding dress. Sarah was really helpful - instead of letting me try on dress after dress to see which one sticks, she made good suggestions as to styles that would compliment my curvy figure, and then also accessories to go with it. We found the perfect dress maybe three dresses in, which is pretty fast! I had already put down a deposit for a dress at another shop, but Sarah's fantastic service, and the much better quality dresses, helped me make a decision - which turned out to be the right one!
Sarah was very flexible

Sarah is simply amazing! I visited By Design in September 2017 when looking for my wedding dress for April 2018. I instantly felt at ease with Sarah. She listened to what I wanted and helped me choose the most beautiful dress. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to make a decision (which I did from other places). Sarah is also a seamstress and altered my dress numerous times (at my request!) patiently and perfectly. The finished result was stunning! If you’re looking for a beautiful selection of dresses, in a relaxed, fun and professional environment then I highly recommend By Design.
