    Julie Knows Best

    The experience was wonderful from start to finish! I didn’t really know what I was looking for in a wedding gown, but Julie knew exactly which dress was the one for me. She was so right! I saw so many dresses through wedding expos and planning websites and never once did I have second thoughts about my dress. It was always the perfect dress!

    She helped us to find bridesmaid dresses that looked great together, but also expressed their personal style. My bridesmaids looked so gorgeous!

    Aldina did such a beautiful job on all of our alterations. The bridesmaids looked so beautiful and their dresses fit like gloves. But it was on my dress, that she was truly a miracle worker. I lost 30 lbs before the wedding and she made the dress fit as though it was made for me. I received so many compliments and felt so beautiful. I loved that dress so much, that I wish I could wear again and again!

    Julie is the absolute BEST! She is honestly amazing. She is so helpful in finding the perfect dress and extremely honest! Julie’s was the second place I went to and I wish I had started with her. She made me feel at home and comfortable. She allowed us to take pictures and she has free alterations! You honestly couldn’t ask for a better place to get a dress. Julie has a great selection of wedding dresses, all different types, and veils. I think my veil was one of my favorite parts! Julie just knows what looks good with your personality and body type. I absolutely trust her with any wedding apparel advice! Her seamstresses are extremely talented and will do anything to help make your dreams come true! My mom was so nervous about finding a dress and one day I convinced her to look around after my fitting. Julie and her seamstress helped my mom to find the perfect dress for her. She also got free alterations! Seriously, check out Julie’s!! You won’t be disappointed and you’ll have fun at every appointment you make!! Thanks Julie for helping me find the perfect dress for my day!

    I loved going to Julie's! She's amazing and knows exactly what will look good on you. I came into the store with my own ideas and left with a fantastic dress Julie picked out for me. Don't let the location or the front of the store scare you. Julie has a ton of options, is great at what she does, and where else can you find a bridal place that provides your alterations within the purchase of the dress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect dress!

    Julie is just fantastic! After the shop closes, she stays after with you 1 on 1 and goes through as many dresses as your heart desires. Even though you don't know which one you're going to buy, she knows from the second you walk in. With that being said, she does not try to push you into buying the most expensive dress! She wants you to feel the most beautiful and confident on your big day. All alterations are included in the price.

    I found my dream dress at Julies! I had no idea what I was looking for- but open to ideas. I thought I wanted lots of lace, and no bling...but Julie picked out a mermaid style sparkly and lacy dress that i fell in love with. She knows exactly what style will complement your body type and what fabrics work. She's awesome! and she is very honest - like how you'd expect your aunt to tell you the truth and want you to look your best! (not in a mean way- she just wants you to feel and look beautiful)

    Julie is awesome! She knows what she is doing and her prices are very reasonable. I received so many amazing compliments about my dress and Julie is the one that picked it for me! I would go back to Julie's for any occasion!

    Julie's bridal is a fantastic gem. Although the outside of the building does not look impressive, the service, quality of care, and dress selection are fabulous. Julie closes down the shop for bridal appointments so the bride and guests can go through all the dresses and have a unique and intimate experience. Julie is also a fireball, whose personality and honesty make the experience all the better. I went into Julie's thinking I knew what dress I wanted but Julie took one look at me and knew what she wanted to see me in. The dress she chose for me was the one I picked, which I would've NEVER tried without her!
    Definitely recommend this boutique for all brides looking for the dress.

    Julie is amazing! I went to Julie for my first Jr. Bridesmaid dress and my prom dress so it seemed only natural to go back to her for my wedding dress. I don't have a single regret. I went for my wedding dress with no ideas in mind, I really dint know what I wanted. I walked out of there with my dress selected! I didnt even have to shop anywhere else! I told Julie the main thing I liked was a little sparkle, she pulled out a ton of dresses for me to try and interestingly enough, the very first dress I tried ended up being "the one" :)

    Something GREAT that others have also mentioned is she does free alterations and also will hold you dress for you till the wedding day if you would like her to. Additionally, she gives every bride a complimentary garter.

    Also she is so great with payment options. You can pay off your dress slowly with no interest added. She's amazing. Im so happy I went with her and I can't wait to try my dress on when I go for my fittings!

    I was referred here by one of my bridesmaids who got her wedding dress here 6 years ago, Julie doesn't forget any of her brides. After shopping a few other places, Julie knows what she is doing, by far the best experience and I am so happy with the dress I chose!

    Absolutely love Julie! She has been in the business for years and knows her stuff. I bought my prom dresses from her years ago and knew I was going to get my wedding dress from her someday. Julie is always very honest and will recommend dresses you will look gorgeous in. She is usually booked a few weeks out as she schedules appointments with brides after business hours so there are no other customers and no interruptions. Julie is one of a kind and I would definitely recommend her!!

    Oh Julie! This woman is a no nonsense kind of person. She does not blow smoke because it is what you want to hear. She gives you dresses that you ask for but then goes to her "back room collection" and picks what she thinks is best for you. And let me tell you her process works. You have the upstairs to yourself and whomever you bring along. There is a lot of laughing and plenty of jokes about making your boobs bigger for your special day! And my groom was surprised and not one ounce disappointed in my dress. The best dress shopping experience will be had at Julie's!

    I love my dress from Julie's!! I had an excellent experience with her and her staff. She helped me pick the perfect dress, and you can't beat the price! My bridesmaids got their dresses there as well and I was very pleased with the whole process. When you buy with her, alterations are FREE. That was huge. These women know what they are doing. All of our gowns fit us to a perfect tee and looked gorgeous on the wedding day.

    I would definitely recommend her shop and her services!

    Julie is a no b.s. kind of lady- she will tell you exactly what she thinks of the dresses you try on, and with years of experience she knows what she is talking about. She did both my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses - no charge for alterations for any of the dresses. Everything was beautiful, and Julie is a sweetheart to boot :)

    Julie is AMAZING! She makes you feel so comfortable and knows how to find you the most flattering wedding dress in the world. She thinks outside the box and knows exactly what will look good on your shape. Her service is personable and alterations are impeccable! My sister and many friends bought their wedding dresses at Julie's, I've also purchased bridesmaids dresses there and we've all had great experiences every time we've gone.

    Don't let the location scare you off - this place has an unbelievable (affordable) selection and ALL sizes - go now!

    Julie was amazing!!! I had the greatest experience when searching for my dress! I had gone to a few boutiques where I felt pressured into buying dresses. At Julie's, it was completely opposite!! She wanted me to feel 100% sure that I picked the right dress. She gave her opinions in what looked good on me and what didn't. I truly loved her honesty and loved my dress!! I am so happy I found Julie. I also ended up picking out my bridesmaid dresses there as well as my mom's dress and my mother in laws dress. We all loved Julie and her dress expertise!!!

    Julie is amazing and her dresses are priced very fair. I had called a few different places and she was always a few hundred dollars less. She also does free alterations where other places wouldn't tell me how much it was going to be until after I purchased the dress. She picked out a bunch of dresses according to my body type and found the one! I received sooo many compliments on it!! She was recommended to me by quite a few people and I will continue to do the same! The place isn't much to look at outside or in but who cares!

    Julie's Bridal was a great place to get my wife's dress. My wife's name is Julie also, so we knew from the start that it was fate! She found a dress online, and the nearest place that sold it was New Bedford. It's about an hour's drive, but well worth it!

    Julie was so very nice, she is a great lady and very personable. You'll always have a good time getting fitted there. She got everything tailored just right. Even better, we saved a lot of money by going to her, as opposed to any other vendor! We have no complaints about her quality of work.

    Highly recommended!

    i read a review about this place where they called her "the dress whisperer" i did not believe it until i went in there! Julie is amazing! she knew the exact dress for me from the moment i walked in! it was stunning! she is funny and helpful and extremely honest! she will not sell you a dress just to make a buck! you will walk out of there looking like the dress was made just for you! she cares about how you will look just as much as you do and she has an eye for what looks best for your body type - no matter your size!

    I would absolutely tell everyone to go to Julie's. She lets you try on anything you want and then shows you what styles look best. She gives her honest opinion and doesn't push something you don't want. Prices are very reasonable. Her schedule is flexible for fittings. She is easy to talk to and very personable!!

    It might not look like much, and Julie is usually pretty busy but Julie's is worth the effort, whatever your style is. Another bridal store tried to tell me that some embellishments on a dress were beautiful when I asked if they could be taken off. Julie does the opposite--she says that has to go even before you can! The dress I ultimately went with had unflattering cap sleeves but the seamstress (I forget her name!) easily took care of that.

    The best part: FREE ALTERATIONS.

    Julie said my bridesmaids and I could pick up our dresses on the wedding day, and when we went there, she had forgotten it was the wedding day, but they finished alterations on both bridesmaids dresses and we left there basically on time.

    Julie is a complete sweetheart! You will love doing business with her. Her shop is not much to look at from the outside, but is worth going in. She has incredible wedding gowns upstairs and she is really fun to have around when trying on dresses. Shes honest and really helpful. Prices are fair- free alterations, too. I loved the service and was grateful to her for helping me find my wedding dress! Oh, and she lets you take pictures, which some other places wouldn't allow (annoying). Definitely check it out.

    Julie's was a great experience. We went into this little boutique in the heart of New Bedford. Not the safest of places, and not the best looking on the outside, but worth the trip.
    Julie is about 4 foot 7, she said bring pictures and I did. She came back with 3 dresses based on my pictures. The second dress I tried on I bought!

    I didn’t have to go back to the shop until 6 weeks prior to the wedding. She then fit the dress perfectly, built in a custom bra and made my veil with pieces of my dress. I had a customized train on the dress and all these alterations were included in the price. I had to pay for the veil.
    I went into a designer boutique in Boston and they had the same dress priced at $1800 plus alterations. At Julie's I got the dress for about $700 alterations included.
    She made me feel like family and it is worth the trip to go to this place.
