Monique Lhuillier

I *love love love* Monique dresses! They fit so well and are so elegant and timeless! I bought a Monique dress and absolutely love it =)!

Monique Lhuilier dresses are gorgeous. I was originally looking to buy a Monique, but went with a Vera instead cause I wanted a gown that had more of a stream-lined look than a ballgown. FYI: You can buy them at Pearl's Place for 20% off retail.

Monique dresses are elegant but still edgy. Sure, they're $$$, but it's your wedding. It's worth it!

I have to say my dress was beautiful. But there was so much drama associated with it! I ordered my dress in october at the trunk show and it came in a month early. The drama started with the first fitting. It was a strapless dress, and at the first fitting, it felt like it was not holding my boobs in....so I thought, ok, they will alter it to make it fit, not to worry....well at fitting number 4 my boobs will still falling out when i lifted my arms. They took it in, took it out, took it in, took it out. nothing was working. Then we decided we had to remake the whole top to make it go higher. We thought that would work, but NOPE! The strapless dress was still falling and not holding me in. Two weeks before the wedding and my dress does not fit. I ended up going in 5 times before the wedding (almost every day)....two days before the wedding, my boobs were still not staying in. And I do not have big boobs! Nor do I have a weird body or anything that would make it hard to fit me. They ended up on the friday before my sunday wedding putting straps on. At first i thought it would look horrible, but it looked great. The kicker was that now the dress gave me extra cleavage (which i liked :) ). So they hand delivered the dress to me on saturday evening when I checked into my hotel. I couldnt take it with me at my fitting on that saturday morning bc it still needed to be cleaned and pressed. Talk about last minute. Well it took three people to get me into the dress. Now even more drama, at the reception, the bustle broke and i spent a lot of the time fixing it....by the middle of the party i was like forget it, just safetly pin it up, i dont care what it looks like, i just want to dance and not step on it! And then....one of the straps broke!!!!! So my sister in law, broke the other strap and tied it into a halter. I just didnt care anymore! The next day I had bruises on both my shoulders and behind my neck from the straps digging into me.....The dress is definitely ruined. But it made it through the night, and my boobs did not pop out...I was not a priceless commercial!

They didnt get an F because they refunded us first the alterations cost and the next day when my mom called to tell them all the drama, they gave us 50% of the cost of the dress back. The alteration lady was also really sweet and really tried hard to make the dress work (she burst out into tears when it wasnt working). The dress ended up looking great it just wasnt comfortable and I missed some of the dancing because of it.

these dresses are the most beautiful dresses i have ever seen. my sister bought one for her wedding and it was expensive. but well it should have been! i've already found my future wedding dress and it was a monique lhuillier. it better still exist!

Monique Lhuillier was the one and only designer I wanted to wear for my wedding and she did not disappoint. I also bought my dress during her sample sale and the sales associates were very helpful and knowlegeable inspite the fact there were hundreds of women going haywire. I went by myself and one SA found dresses for me in different sizes to try on. LA brides please take advantage of her sample sale, gowns were marked down 50-75% off!

If you're looking for an all-over-lace sheath type dress, Monique is your girl. No one has better quality lace or more elegant designs. I bought mine used and it still looked fantastic on the wedding day.

I bought my ML dress at their summer sample sale in July 2006. I went and tried dresses on in May and quickly found my favorite dress: Emmanuelle. Unfortunately, the price was way out of my range ($7k), but I clung to the hope that it would be available at the sale. I went to the sale on Friday (it starts on a Thursday), and found my dress almost instantly. They had 3 of them... and it was 70% off. The dress was in perfect condition, and all I needed to do was swipe my VISA and it was mine. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful during the sale and so happy to assist customers.
Their dresses have an amazing fit and their silk and lace is to die for... especially at the sale prices!

While I didn't try her gowns on in the So. California store, I did try on 4 of them on at a store in San Francisco. They were beautiful, but, imo, much too expensive. I must admit, the store (Bridal Galleria) didn't show me all the gowns they have by Monique, so perhaps there were some more reasonably priced ones.

I love love love my dress! I would love to wear it every day! Worth every penny!

I definetly want a ML dress and went there with my mom. We were quite disappointed. We had wesley and she was not very friendly or helpful. In fact she was sort of rushing us through the process. I am going to try Saks
in OC and order my dress from there instead!

While they aren't cheap, Monique dresses and truly timeless and have a refined elegance. Her dresses have a very tailored structure, and fit like a glove, while still being romanitic and sexy. But the one thing that truly won me over was the quality of material -- of all the other dresses I tried, not one was as high of a quality silk as hers (even those that were 20K). Just touching it made you instantly realize that this is a gown, and not just a dress.

These dresses are absolutely beautiful! Very chic, not your typical bridal gown. I had so much fun wearing my dress!

Beautiful dresses and wonderful services and sales!
