Read More On Citysearch Fancygirl 5/11/2010 - Found a Great Sample Gown-Half PriceFound an amazing designer gown half price at year end sample sale! Beautiful selection of gowns though you have to hunt in sample sale section. New gowns organized by designer ,but sample sale area more mixed. Also found unique accessories made to match my gown. Their sample sizes actually fit, not all size twos. Shopping was fun and I was really impressed with the selection considering size of s...
Read More On Citysearch WendyinNY 1/11/2010 - Created my dream dress!When I fell in love with a sensational silk satin trumpet gown, Designer Loft invited the designer in to make the gown to my specifications. It was an awesome experience! We lowered the back and added some details which made the gown uniquely mine. All the attenttion to detail and staff advice made it easy for me to wear my dream gown. This shop has great service and fabulous gowns.
Read More On Citysearch SarBell 1/7/2010 - WARNING! Scary Price Inflation!!!
I stumbled across this shop because of a listing in New York Magazine Weddings. Unlike some of the brides below, I liked the disheveled look of the boutique--it felt like a vintage shop--and I found the people working there to be generally helpful. (Though I wasn't thrilled when my salesgirl told me to stop back for a follow-up, then wasn't there.)
I fell in love with a dress that was priced a...
Read More On Citysearch modsquadgirl 1/5/2010 - DisappointingDesigner loft had several cancellations the day i came in and i was the last appointment. the woman was cold and rushed because she wanted to go home and she made no secret of it. they put me in a dirty fitting room that was prepared for another customer, carted me off to the " cheap" closet where they keep their $2,000- $4,000 dresses. thats a buttload of money to spend to feel like shit.

Read More On Citysearch designs45 12/14/2009 - Found my perfect dressI searched EVERYWHERE for my bridal gown, and just couldn't find gowns that were unique or different from the "cookie cutter" wedding dress that I'd seen over and over. Thank God for Designer Loft! They have a wonderful selection of dresses that are outside the box. I loved several of them, and found my dream dress - such a relief after months of searching. AND they had so many dresses to sho...
Read More On Citysearch sparrow10210 12/11/2009 - I found my AMAZING wedding gown at Designer Loft!I would recommend designer loft to any bride searching for her perfect wedding gown. They have a large variety of dresses and at a wide price range. I LOVED MY DRESS! I fealt like a princess in it on my wedding day. I had 5 visits all together from finding my dress to 4 fittings. I always had so much attention given to me during each visit. Eileen was great, she took my measurements perfectly. Th...
Read More On Citysearch myalbert 12/5/2009 - Found my dream dress!I wanted my dress to be unique and original. That is exactly what I found at Designer Loft. Not only is it a design that I have never seen before, but they called in the designer to work with me. She is customizing the gown to incorporate my grandmother"s broach. The staff is really involved in creating my dream dress. The dress is progressing and I am so greatful for the attention to detail. Th...
Read More On Citysearch LynnNYC 10/23/2009 - Terrific Shopping ExperienceAt the bridal shops I visited prior to Designer Loft, I could not find one dress that I liked. At Designer Loft, my problem was not finding a dress that I liked but deciding which one from among the many gorgeous gowns I found. Their selection is unique and beautiful. Allison worked with me and was so helpful and enthousiastic. She accessorized me brilliantly. They have really fun veils and headp...
Read More On Citysearch Tigger101 10/22/2009 - Saved the day!Found an amazing sample gown when my original dress fell through. Three months to my wedding date, many stores would not even schedule an appointment for me. The staff at Designer Loft was extremely helpful, patient and creative- completely understood my vision for the day. They were able to complete the gown in record time and were very patient with my hectic work schedule. Fabulous experience. ...
Read More On Citysearch Schmidt79 10/20/2009 - Caution: Their prices are way inflated!
Found a dress that I liked there for $2000. Since I liked the dress so much, I was almost tempted to pay for it immediately, but my better instincts told me to hold off and do some price comparison.
I called RK Bridal and they had the same dress for $1050. Like the posted below me, buyer beware. By all means, go and try on the dresses and get familiar with what they have and what suits you, ...
Read More On Citysearch u347464 10/6/2009 - DO NOT GO - BIGGEST RIP OFF EVERI found a dress online and went to Designer Loft because they were one of the three places in the city that carried this dress. The woman assigned to help me didn't seem to know what she was doing. In addition to having the make and model number of my dress, I also brought pictures of other styles that I liked and told her my price range. She then told me to start looking through the racks mys...
Read More On Citysearch margaretb 9/21/2009 - Wonderful ExperienceI loved this shop from the moment I entered. The dress choices were dazzling. I found four I completely loved until my best friend pointed out that one was completely my personality. The staff was really friendly and unpretentious. They were so helpful both while selecting my gown and also during the entire fittings process. My seamstress added a cap sleeve which just made me feel more comfortabl...
Read More On Citysearch LillyFields 9/16/2009 - Unprofessional service!They gave the veil I had special ordered and already paid for away to another customer the day before I was scheduled to pick everything up and leave for my wedding! And their reaction was, "I wish you had come in yesterday to pick it up, this wouldn't have happened." Are you kidding me?!?!! So unprofessional. They are in the biz' and should know how stressful that last week is for a bride an...
Read More On Citysearch anvodi 8/4/2009 - Just okayFound a good dress here - lots of selection. There are dresses in a range of prices. It's a good place to stop by.
Read More On Citysearch sweetmelon2 4/14/2009 - nice place/ custom dressI found a beautiful dress and the girl that helped me was very sweet and honest. I loved that!! (If you get the chance, make sure to work with Karolina). Most places just rush you out and say all kinds of things to make you buy a dress. However, at Designer Loft I felt that I got a true opinion and in the end we all agreed that the dress I chose was the best one. I even got the opportunity to...
Read More On Citysearch LindaNY2009 3/10/2009 - Great place to find your wedding gown in the heart of NYC!I am a bride a little late to the wedding gown search (getting married in less than 5 months). Picked a day to go to several (4 places) in NYC. I must say that this place was great. It was a little busy when I arrived but my appointment started on time. The place has dresses all over the place but they seem to be organized by designers. To that....they have a great selection of "non-traditional" ...
Read More On Citysearch Nebbyn 11/30/2008 - Fabulous Experience!As the proud mother of a beautiful, radiant bride, I can't thank enough the ladies at Designer Loft for making it such a wonderful experience from begining to end. I knew when we entered the place, from the warmth and wonderful atmosphere that my daughter would be comfortable and able to find her dream dress. The selection was amazing. The staff's professionalism and service was phenomonal. My da...
Read More On Citysearch MarissaJam 11/20/2008 - Made offensive implications while I searched for a gownI called Designer Loft because I was looking for a particular gown that happened to fit me very well, from a brand which they carried, and I wanted to see it in some different colors. My budget is flexible, but the gown that seemed to fit me the best just happened to be less expensive than some others of that brand.
The woman I spoke with told me that the gowns *they carried by this designer w...
Read More On Citysearch lgw 11/6/2008 - Amazing selection, Great staffThis was such a wonderful experience I am seriously considering a career change. It was so much fun! Their gowns are gorgeous and the selection very different. I was pampered and advised by their really knowledgeable and caring staff. I ended up selecting a gorgeous vintage inspired gown from Italy. They found a beautiful matching sash the exact color of my mother's vintage lace veil as well as ...
Read More On Citysearch amiecollins 10/11/2008 - Dream dressThanks Designer Loft for enabling me to wear my dream dress! After months of searching, I was finally able to locate a dress that not only felt beautiful but comfortable as well. There was only one problem, I had always dreamed of my dress in a particular fabric. Not only were they able to persuade the designer to create my dress in the fabric I wanted, but they made it even more fabulous by crea...
Read More On Citysearch amandaday 10/8/2008 - Worst experience of my awesome wedding planning (and awesome wedding)I was fortunate to have everything else in my wedding experience run smoothly, but this place was just awful. The dress I ordered from London arrived with a major defect and everyone - including the seamstress & salesperson - saw it, acknowleged it & tried to figure out how to fix it EXCEPT the owner. She just kept saying, "I don't see it, I don't see it" & then lied to me on the phone (after i...
Read More On Citysearch annared 9/24/2008 - Wonderful StaffThis was the best party of my bridal experience! I had such a great time finding and fitting my dress at Designer Loft that I cannot recommend them enough. They made what could have been a really stressful experience fun! The selection was great and I worked with stylists throughout the entire process- seven months between ordering and finishing the dress. They even allowed a makeup and hair pers...
Read More On Citysearch Jenna69 9/17/2008 - Good experience...until the horrible alterations.This place does have a great selection of wedding dresses in all price ranges. I got my dress there in the winter. The staff was very helpful and friendly. And most important they were not pushy, unlike some other bridal stores I had been to. So, everything went fine until the alterations. I went for 4 fittings, the last one being 2 days before my wedding. It was still too big on me at the las...
Read More On Citysearch cmichaelian 8/25/2008 - Great Selection! Wonderful staff!!I went to Designer Loft with very few expectations. I had already had several other appointments at other salons where I was thrown into an endless stream of strapless gowns when I had explained that I did not want this style. At Designer Loft, they listened. I found an amazing gown that I felt truly beautiful and comfortable in. My salesperson, Laura, was so knowledgable and patient, I can't tha...
Read More On Citysearch pamandjames 8/23/2008 - Beautiful gowns, horrible serviceI agree with other reviewers that the gowns, both for the brides and bridesmaid are amazing. And most of the attendants are warm and helpful. Most of them. Unfortunately one of the senior attendants (she might be the manager) is at best dismissive of clients (potential and actual) and at worst, untruthful and hostile to the point that we were considering a law suit, except that we were too clo...
Read More On Citysearch eliza_chu 8/19/2008 - Decent selection, below average serviceI wholeheartedly agree with the review below. I went to Wedding Atelier the day before and it was a far, far better experience. The consultant I dealt with at Designer Loft wasn't rude, but certainly didn't make any effort to make me feel comfortable. I'm not even sure the woman made eye contact, she just went through the motions as if on auto pilot with her main agenda to get me out of the sa...
Read More On Citysearch Cordel 8/13/2008 - Fabulous unique dresses and great staffI had an appointment for Saturday at noon. I got there an hour early because I finished up at my first location early, and they were more than happy to see me then. The staff was great! And the dresses were unbelievable! Every dress I tried on was amazing. I told the attendant, Laura, what I wanted, and she brought out eight dresses that were all exactly on point. They also let you look thro...
Read More On Citysearch psrichardson 7/14/2008 - just went there last weekI thought the sales people were excellent and very positive. I went on a Friday night after work. they didnt rush me. They also offered advice like adding a sleeve. Most importantly they allowed for pictures to be taken and there was no hard sell.
Read More On Citysearch amwny 5/7/2008 - Nice selection of unique and classic dressesI found Maureen helpful, patient, and easy to work with. She really listened to what I wanted to try on and didn't force anything on me like other bridal stores did. While the selection and atmosphere were good, I was scared off by some previous reviewers' comments about alterations being botched. Also, I can imagine this tiny place is a zoo on weekends since they only have a few dressing areas. ...
Read More On Citysearch citylivin 1/14/2008 - designerloftnycDesigner loft has an interesting selection of gowns from designers all over the world. I got my gown from the sample sale selection and saved alot of money. It was half price. Looking forward to starting my alterations which are capped at a reasonable price. The jewelry selection was also different and can be made to customize your request. I am getting a cluster of flowers for my hair in stead o...
Read More On Citysearch davindadmom 12/6/2007 - Great experienceThis was the best bridal experience in NY! Really great staff, wonderful selection and extremely accomodating. My family and I loved the experience at Designer Loft. There was a slight wait but the staff was so attentive and really made us all feel at home. I found a dress exactly like I wanted - not strapless! My bridesmaids and mother also found great styles. The staff made sure we all looked ...
Read More On Citysearch jennany 12/5/2007 - Amazing experience, awesome selectionI stumbled upon Designer Loft after several nightmare experiences bridal gown shopping. Everyone was so attentive and nice. The gowns were beautiful and new and clean. I highly recommend the store for anyone searching for a gown or any accessories. The staff was really knowledgable and helpful. It was a great experience for both me and my family!
Read More On Citysearch ashotik 8/17/2007 - Terrible service- beautiful dressesI was shocked to look on this site and see all the glowing reviews for service at this place? then I noticed the dates. Whoever was responsible for such praise MUST have left. Our entire bridal party was treated as though we had come in just to use the bathroom and not for a fitting of a very expensive wedding gown and 8 bridesmaids dresses. Making terrible comments about weight (the bride was 5?...
Read More On Citysearch mer4147 7/31/2007 - A hidden jewelWhat a great find! I was so surprised by the selection and quality of the gowns. They had gowns from France, Israel, London and Italy! They had the best veils and accessories. If you want a gown that is beautiful and original, I strongly recommend visiting this little shop. The staff was really nice and knowledgeable. Not only I, but my mother and grandmother found the most beautiful dresses ther...
Read More On Citysearch chaiken 9/29/2005 - Phenominal ServicesA bride is incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to set foot in a place like Designer Loft. During such a nerve racking time in your life, Designer Loft creates a feeling of calm and stability. I was actually able to work one on one with a designer and create my dream gown. The staff is incredibly attentive and will do back flips to accomodate even the most demanding NYC bride. I am so lu...
