Aria Dress

We ended up purchasing the MOH dress and ties for our groomsmen from Aria. My mother and I visit the show room in Boston. We called ahead to booke the appointment and discovered they could fit us in quickly and that their boutique was even handicap accessible if grandmothers wanted to go. Appointments are personal...no David's Bridal zoo here! The dress did take 4 months to make, but the quality was good. We really just were in love with the fabric. My sister lost a LOT of weight during the time we were waiting for the dress, but my mother was able to take it in properly. Some of the boning in the dress snapped during the wedding, but my sister looked gorgeous throughout. Would reccommmend!!

I went to the Boston showroom with 2 of my bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids was unable to make the trip. She went the the DC location and said that it was a good experience. The rest of us had a good experience at the Boston location. The service was great. The saleswoman really knew what she was talking about and made good suggestions. Throughout dress shopping, I did experience quite a bit of "sticker-shock" but in the end Aria was a pretty good deal for the quality of the dresses. You need an appointment to go and they book up fast during the late fall and early winter.

We went to their Boston location to try on dresses. Jessica was very nice and accomodating. They give you an hour appointment and since I brought 5 girls with me we could have used another 30-60 minutes. But it was close enough that if someone wanted to make another appointment then they could.
The dresses came in three weeks early. There was a mistake in one dress, it was cut as aline and should have been column skirt. I called their California location (which is their main location and where they manufacture the dresses) And talked to Caroline. She saw the mistake on the order form vs. the cut sheet. I sent the dress back to them and had a new dress three weeks later. So everything was in by their original estimated delivery date, which worked.
The color of the dress I loved, I think my bridesmaids did too :). Alterations were made on some, but I believe most fit very well. The best part is that the girls could pick any style they wanted halter strapless aline or column, so everyone felt comfortable in their dresses. Which is important!

I highly recommend them
