Bridesmaids dresses by Elvira Jude
[ratingwidget post_id=7935]
How did you hear about this service? What other services do they offer?
My friend had taken me to Elvira Jude as I was used as the sample bridesmaid. Elvira Jude designs dresses, so they made my friend’s bridesmaid dresses.
What were your initial expectations?
When I got there I honestly had no expectations. I’m usually not a fan of sewing bridesmaid dresses; I prefer to order from a store.
How did you find / contact the business? How was the initial reception?
I was given directions so my driver took me there. Had to call a few times before finding the place. The girls in the shop were very polite, they smiled and attended to me properly. I had to wait for about 5 mins but I didn’t mind because the layout of the store is very nice and the dresses that they sold were interesting so I spent the time going through the racks. The prices were affordable and the outfits were sewn very well. Very clean finishing and I was very impressed.
If applicable, what was the parking situation?
There was parking for about 3 cars outside the gate and the security was present to coordinate and ensure people parked properly.
Describe your experience focusing more on the service you received:
So at first there was no picture given the stylist and the bride designed our bridesmaids outfit from scratch. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. My outfit was properly sewn. I was made to come for a fitting and when I did no adjustment was needed. We all looked like angels and to think our dresses were white. Elvira Jude did a good job!

What’s pricing like at this establishment?
It may have been a little pricey but the quality of what I got was worth every dime.
What did you/didn’t you like?
I liked that the staff was very professional and attended to me with great detail. Even when the boss wasn’t around they were knowledgeable and I felt comfortable. The ambiance and layout of the place is nice as well.
What was your favorite moment/item?
They had a lot of nice ready to wear outfits. A little pricey but at least I now know a place I can pick up a nice dress for sure or even have one sewn without fears or worry.
What’s one thing you’d change/advise the business about?
They could reduce the prices or give a discount to encourage more sales.
On a scale of 1-10, what would be your overall rating? And why?
9 out of 10. I was truly impressed especially since it was an original design and the Elvira Jude team executed flawlessly.
As a bride, working with Elvira Jude was just the best, Honestly i was “a lot” as a bride….. But this woman was as calm as ever, We changed styles how many times and she remained focused on giving me exactly what i wanted for my girls. I will recommend her service anytime any day. Great designer, Great taste, outstanding patience….
I was also a bridesmaid for the same wedding and generally the Elvira Jude experience was a pleasant one for me…. Minus the minor delays during the fittings, my dress fit like a glove! It is one that I could actually wear again.
One of the bridesmaids zips broke though!!
