    My dress was absolutely beautiful!

    Boy oh boy was I a beautiful bride. That's a special thanks to Mrs. Debbie and Eunice. Mrs Debbie was so amazing from the very start. Every visit and every call, she made sure she took very good care of me. When it was time for my alterations, Eunice definitely understood the assignment. She knew before I could tell her exactly what I wanted. My favorite part of the experience with Eunice was the bustling of my dress. She said she wanted to make it look like a flower and oh my goodness, that's exactly what she did. Thank you so much ladies for making my day so special and making me feel like a beautiful bride.

    I said yes to the dress

    I had an appointment at Davids bridal right after my first with Estelle's and I ended up not even going to Davids. I tried on the first dress which i liked but i wasn't impressed. Then i tried on the second dress! This was the one! I got all those butterflies people say you get. I was so excited. They have great prices and i didn't have to break the bank to get this dress.

    I went here for my second attempt at dress shopping. They accept walk-ins even on the weekends. The attendants are very patient and helpful. I was there for over 2 hours and my attendant was as patient as a saint. She walked the racks with me, and then came to my dressing room with suggestions of her own. She even geared some of the choices to combine the styles I liked, with the styles the Moms liked. There was a rack of Sale samples, but even their regular priced gowns were at affordable prices.
    I ended up getting my dress elsewhere, but We had such a good experience with the service, we went back to get my mother her dress for the wedding. She was thrilled by the selection of Mother of the Bride gowns.

    Sylvana, Debbie and the rest of the ladies in the bridal department were phenomenal! As a well-endowed woman, I'm so lucky to have found them after shopping all over LI and Queens for dresses that I could try on (and not be clipped into and have to imagine the rest). Excellent selection with new stock always coming in for ladies in all shapes/sizes. They were wonderful from start to finish between my bridal gown and the bridesmaid dresses! Thank you, thank you to Estelle's for making it so easy to love you!!

    Bought my Dress @ Estelle's in Farmingdale, they were great. Only place I could find a particular Mori Lee gown. They do not do alterations on site-this was not an issue for me b/c I was coming from the Bronx and preferred finding one close to home.

    I've been to Estelle's a few times to try on wedding dresses. Each time, I have had a different experience. Twice, I went and the saleswoman made me feel a little uncomfortable, pressuring me towards dresses that didn't look wonderful on me. So, I was really hesitant to return, but decided to do so. Well, I am so glad that I decided to come back! I returned two more times and was helped by two fantastic salespeople. Lisa especially has a very warm presence (not too salesy at all) and could tell when I really loved a dress and when I wasn't crazy about a dress. She even helped convince my mother to be more open to MY tastes, which is hard since my mother is set in her own ways. Lisa is a real expert when it comes to fashion. Maybe she was just telling me what I wanted to hear, but it seemed like she really understood me—my personality, what looks good on me, how I want to look and feel on my big day. If there was anything negative about my more recent experiences, it was that the really good associates were a little TOO attentive. I wanted to spend some time searching the whole store for dresses, since I am looking for something REALLY specific. They wouldn't let me look around for long enough...instead, they explained to me why I needed to start trying on dresses and not keep looking. I would have liked just a little more freedom to browse, since the store has such a huge selection and that's largely why I went there. All in all, it is DEFINITELY worth a visit, especially if you are looking for a larger selection than a small bridal boutique. They also have a lot of sale sections, including 1/2 off and $99 dresses! :)

    Great dress buying experience at Estelle’s!

    Maryanne was the BEST consultant! Definitely ask for her if you visit the store.

    My mom brought me to this store so we could look for her dress. We were disappointed that they pretty much only had ole lady dresses in her size, but I ended up finding my wedding shoes there. It is quite a large store with ample parking and we literally wandered around looking at dresses (for the rehearsal dinner and bridal shower---or even just for the summer) as well as undies and shoes. I found the bridal section and in the end, bought a lovely bolero to go with my dress. Debbie was super nice and very helpful. I had been referred to a ballroom dancing store for comfortable shoes, but those were running over $200 and I found a great pair of shoes here for less than $40. I have been wearing them and breaking them in and there are still pretty comfy. I would recommend getting here early on a weekend (we went on a Sunday) and packing a bit of patience. Definitely try stuff on before leaving and examine all clothing item scrupulously (especially the ones on sale-which might be worth buying if you can do a little sewing)....Happy shopping.

    It sure didn't hurt to take a look! I guess I got lucky, it was the first place i went to to look for a dress and i wound up getting the second dress i tried on! Defintely don't judge a dress by how it looks on the hanger! After I put in on i had my aha moment and fell in love! And I got so many compliments from the dress too. Very elegant dress. I took it for alterations to a lady named Lina in Wantagh, NY. She is an expert as soon as i put the dress on for her she started pinning right away and had my dress fitting me perfectly and she worked quickly too!

    After researching vendors for plus size mother of the bride dresses I entered this store as an act of desperation. They have been around for well over 25 years serving the prom and wedding market in western Suffolk, Long Island. They were just a few extra miles from my return to the Long Island Expressway to drive approximately 45 miles east to my home after leaving a plus size store in Merrick, NY where a dress I had eyed on line would cost me close to $700.00 after tax and alterations. At Estelle's I found the prices to be exceptionally fair and the plus size selection to be good, without seeing anything "one of a kind" so if this is your goal, skip this place. The help in the fitting rooms were objective. They were not overly helpful, they didn't run the floor to retrieve a dress for you in another size. Sooooo, bring assistance with you. If you buy a beaded or sequin gown it is yours, no returns. So be sure you love the dress enough to buy it and have it tailored if need be. You can also put the dress on a seven day layaway. If you decide within that time period that you and the dress are not a match made in heaven Estelle's will give you a refund. I also purchased my shoes from them. They have a fair selection of wide width evening shoes, if they do not have your size they will order them for you with a deposit. I ordered my shoes on a Sunday and I received a phone call on Tuesday that they were in the store. The pricing on the shoes are fair also. So if you are on a budget, this is a good store to visit if you live on Long Island. BTW, try to visit during the week the store and fitting room are SRO on the weekends not the best way to have to shop....

    Yes, they have a large selection but that is about it- so many negatives-staff is sooo rude and they speak another language right in front of you. The dressing rooms are awful-lots of room but so small and can't they afford better curtains? Also, if you want another size in the same dress you have to get dressed all over again because there is no staff to assist you. The staff at the registers act like they are doing you a big favor by taking your money and you should thank the staff instead of the other way around. The dresses are so close together on the racks that it is nearly impossible to see what the dress looks like. Look over the merchandise very carefully since many of the dresses that have bling on them are damaged.

    This place is horrible they took $375 dollars as a deposit for a bridal dress that i was going to buy but when i got there it did not fit and the manager got very upset and yelled at me and told me to go home and lose weight so i can fit into the dress because they can not exchange it and refused to give me back my deposit and wanted me to pay for the rest and take the dress that did not fit. This place is still in business only because they like to F*%# over people and steal their money.

    No stars. Tha place is the pits. My daughter went there once and fell in love with a gown by mori LI. We went home to think about it and paperwork from estelles on hand. That gown fit her perfecto. We went to other bridal shops and she also fell in love with another gown. But this shop did not carry the style she wanted. So 2 weeks later we finally had to make a choice she went back to estelles and LO and behold they claim they never carried the dress even if she had the paperwork for it.
    So she then wanted to try on other gowns. And was told by a very rude non English speaking person that she can only try one 3 dresses. Really hou sands of dollars worth of a bridal gown and you're only allowed to try on 3. She tried on 2 and before she could try on the third this woman put it away. People here are very rude and their customer service is very bad. Go to a different bridal shop. You will find the dress you want at the same price estelles has without the aggravation. Bridal gown shopping should be a fund experience. Not stressful. And people read the reviews on Yelp. And you'll know what others have gone thru. I'd say 90 percent says don't go to estelles.

    Wish I could give the store NO STARS!!!
    We ordered dresses here for my cousins wedding-which i was very weary about since we ve had trouble with estelle s in the past (there employee was very snotty to my mom about a dress). I went back today to exchange my dress for another size since I just had a baby and I afraid the dress won t fit in time for the wedding. The girl that helped us said that since the dresses were special order we can exchange them anytime if we need different sizes. I went back today and was told NO! - they said there policy is that all exchanges must happen within 5 days and they refused to order me another dress- they found my size on the floor but the dress was filthy and ripped- they still refused to order me another dress. The store should take responsibility for their employees telling us incorrect information but instead they treated me like crap! The girls were snotty and rude and I will never shop in that store again! Not to mention the store itself is disgusting- it s so disorganized and please don t get me started about the employees. I shouldn t have to stand there waiting to be helped and listening to you having a conversation in spanish while you re working! Speak English at work- The Store is just so trashy!! My mistake for ever shopping in such a low budget ghetto store to begin with!!!!!
