Jin Wang

Jin Wang is a great shop, with a beautiful selection of gowns and a great staff. Jin helped me during my appointments and I really valued her opinions. She was honest about how things looked, what worked what didn't and I never felt pressured to buy.

Gown shopping was difficult for me because I knew both sets of parents were expecting something flashy with a lot of shiny things and ruffles and poofs, but that isn't me. I tried on what I called Princessy gowns and just couldn't get comfortable in them. I knew what I wanted but I felt obliged to also give other people what they wanted. I was really torn and Jin could see it.

I brought some of the wedding party in with me on my second appointment and they didn't mince words with their opinions about the dresses. While we were in the changing room, Jin privately told me that most of the time when people are commenting on someone else in a dress they really are seeing themself in that dress. And their comments are more about how they think they will look in the dress. She pointed out some people want the bride to choose the dress that they want..not necessarily the dress that the bride wants. Normally that wouldn't phase me, but since I was so conflicted about making everyone else happy I really needed those reassuring words.

I ended up with the dress I wanted, and I have Jin to thank for that. I love my dress..looking for other opportunities to wear it =)

Jin Wang is absolutely talented! Thanks to my girlfriend Justine that I met this lovely woman who made me look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Justine brought me to three bridal boutiques prior to my engagment and Jin was the only designer that didn't judge me because I didn't have an engagment ring. Jin is very delicate, warm and extremely knowlegeable in the area of wedding gowns & designs.

After trying on three to four dresses, I found the one I absolutely adored. The feel wasn't quite right so Jin suggested that I keep the style and change the fabric. I loved everything about Jin Wang: the one-on-one attention, friendly staff (Hi Caroline & Sandy!!!), and most importantly the style and quality of the dress. I picked the design of the dress in late 2005. I was afraid I was going to have a change of heart closer to my wedding in May 2008 but I didn't. I love it and hopefully my little Katelyn will too. :)

So on my wedding day, Jin herself bussled my dress. While Jade Studio was busy with the groom on Maiden Lane, I quickly ran over to Jin. She's fabulous and one of a kind.
