Gabby M. Sent on 01/02/2023The Most Perfect Wedding Dress
Sarah Seven LA was the first (and only) bridal shop I visited, and I had the best experience at Sarah Seven LA!
I got engaged on 12-10-21 and my husband and I booked our venue for a 12-10-22 wedding shortly thereafter. I was nervous going into wedding planning because I truly had no idea what to expect and I had never really dreamed about what my perfect wedding would look like, but I know how to dress my body and I knew exactly what I wanted in a wedding dress, I just didn’t know where to find it. I’m a really ‘easy’ shopper, so I had no interest going to a million different dress shops. Then I came across “my” dress on Pinterest, and after some reverse google image searching, I identified the Belmont dress. I knew the Belmont was my dress the second I saw it, so I went online and made an appointment for the following weekend at Sarah Seven LA.
Prior to my appointment, I received an email and phone call to confirm my Saturday morning appointment. Because of COVID, I was allowed to bring 1 guest with me, which was perfect because I wanted it to be just me and my mom. There was ample street parking (it’s metered) and when we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Matea, who was my bridal consultant and just so lovely. I tried on the Belmont dress first and immediately knew it was my dress! I explained to Matea that the Belmont was exactly what I imagined for myself, but to be extra sure, she convinced me to try on a few other gorgeous gowns. The one thing I really appreciated was that Matea listened to me - I explained that I know how to dress my body and I know what I like, and she didn’t pressure me into trying a bunch of different dress styles. After trying a few other gowns, I put the Belmont back on and Matea helped me pick the perfect veil - the Blanca. Then, Matea emailed me all of the details from my purchase, which included my measurements, the notes she took during the fitting and the purchase contract. I also opted for the in-house gown tailoring services (~$795), which I HIGHLY recommend - the tailor is exceptional and trust me, she just *gets* it.
Several months later, I got an email that my dress was almost finished and would be shipping out soon from NY to Sarah Seven LA. About 12 weeks before my wedding date, I got a second email from Sarah Seven LA notifying me that my dress had arrived. Sarah Seven LA also automatically booked me for my first fitting with the in-house tailor, which was about 10 weeks out from my wedding date. The email also provided me with all of the instructions for all fitting sessions (e.g., you need to bring your wedding day shoes to the second and third/final fitting). At my first fitting, I fell in love with the dress all over again - it fit like a glove! The appointment was relatively quick overall; the tailor made a few tweaks to my dress to make it extra snatched and scheduled my second and third/final fittings for me. The second fitting went exactly how the first fitting went. I brought my mom to my third/final fitting so that the tailor could walk her through the bustle, which was SO easy. She also went over the day-of instructions (e.g., how to steam the dress, etc.) and gave us a great recommendation for dress cleaning/preservation!
Overall, my experience with the in-house tailor was fantastic, and she really understood how to tailor to my body. My dress looked absolutely stunning - it was timeless, extremely flattering and very comfortable! I attached several photos by my very talented and incredible photographer, Kellie Jane at https://kelliejanecreative.com/
I highly recommend this shop, the dresses, the designer and the sales associates. -

I am still obsessed with my gown from Sarah Seven. I originally bought my dress in 2018 (!!!!!) for what was supposed to have been my May 2020 wedding. My original dress shopping appointment was so fun, welcoming, and I can't say enough about how beautiful the gowns are. If you are going for timeless, chic, and simple (in the best way), Sarah Seven is the place for you. We had to postpone until October 2021 and Sarah Seven was so accommodating and helpful. They do all of their tailoring in house which is a HUGE bonus. Since their expert team knows exactly how the dresses are supposed to look, you are guaranteed a flawless fit. I want to give a special shoutout to Dee and Allison- they really made Sarah Seven feel like home over my many year planning process, haha. Can't recommend Sarah Seven enough- I have already convinced two of my friends to buy their wedding gowns there and they are obsessed! -

My experience working with Sarah Seven was amazing and I would highly recommend them. Sarah Seven dresses are so beautiful, unique, romantic and modern and I was so happy with my wedding dress. But what is equally amazing is the experience you have with the entire team. At every appointment, I felt heard and welcomed and they never rushed me or made me feel uncomfortable. Dee and Erin were so warm and friendly and they each gave such helpful advice on how to tailor the dress and what shoes to pair with it. Jonetta was so talented and made the dress fit me perfectly. I went to several places to find a wedding dress and from the moment I stepped into Sarah Seven, I knew I had found the right place. Just being in the space makes you feel relaxed and each person there feels like a friend. Each dress was breathtaking and Dee, Erin and Jonetta created such a wonderful experience for me. They are truly amazing at what they do and I feel so lucky that I got to know them and work with them. I will recommend Sarah Seven forever.

Worst Wedding Vendor I hired was SS
I hope my photos attached speak for itself. If you want to buy a SS dress, that is amazing; just do NOT at all get your tailoring done at their NYC showroom. Here is our email into them a couple of days after my wedding:
My daughter was advised to order one size up in order to do alterations correctly. I went with Caroline for her first fitting. The alteration specialist seem to be quite competent as he talked about her need for bra cups, he talked about the side of the dress it looked like it was going to be perfect.
Caroline went back for her second fitting and the dress had been taken in to the point where she could not sit down nor could she walk freely. She was terrifically upset and contacted the head of your alterations department who assured her that she would have the perfect Sarah seven experience.
She went back they re-altered the dress they let it out —we were quite concerned as the seams had already been taken in, and that is why we ordered the dress originally one size up so that we could not see any kind of let out seam in the dress.
During the entire process there had been a big discussion about the cups that you all were to sew in to the dress and how they needed to be trimmed. Caroline came with her friend the third time around and they could all see that the cups needed to be trimmed, your seamstress included.
Let’s fast forward to when Caroline picked up the dress and she wanted to try it on one last time and your alteration specialist said absolutely no need to do that. I have never had anything altered that I did not check out to ensure that it had been done correctly.
When she arrived here in Florida with the dress we tried it on right away Caroline was concerned the side of the dress puckered out a bit —day before the wedding —nothing to be done about that. And then the day of the wedding her photographer said ‘every single picture I’m taking of you has those cups showing’ we taped it down we adjusted as best we could he literally cut the cups out of the dress. Talented photographer for sure.
They NEVER sewed in the cups properly and my photographer had to cut them the day of my wedding, see me naked and I had to wear sticky boobs with my SS dress. Worst vendor I hired was SS to do my tailoring. Please spare yourself the trouble and get it altered elsewhere. -
