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

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!

I'm totally in love with Monique Lhuillier gowns, especially the ones with Alencon lace. Some of the bridal lines are classy, modern, and classic. With a Monique Lhuillier gown, you can expect sky high prices. Monique has made dresses for Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Eva Longoria, and other celebrities to name a few. Dresses here do not run cheap. They usually run around 5K starting to as much as 20K and up. I had dreamed of owning an Alencon lace gown by Monique for my wedding but because of the outrageous prices, my dreams had fallen flat. I knew there would be no way my parents would let me purchase a dress between 6K-9K range. In addition, just having the thought of buying a dress that cost that much made me feel guilty and selfish. It wasn't practical at all especially with the way the economy is right now.

Luckily, I was able to get a gown here for a special price during one of their rare sales. It was the last one available in store and in my size. The dress fit me perfectly and it was also made of Alencon lace. I couldn't believe it! What I thought would turn out to be a disappointment, turned out to be a dream come true. Kudos to the staff for locating the dress and making sure that my parents got it since they were the ones that picked it up for me while I was back in San Jose doing the Livestrong Marathon. According to my mother, the staff treated her well and she had no complaints at all. Thanks mom, dad, and the staff at Monique Lhuillier Salon for making one of my dreams come true.

I heard about the semi-annual Monique Lhullier Sample Sale through a website. I decided to take my bridesmaids and wait in line for about 3 hours. We were near the front of the line and we knew that we could look at a good selection of dresses. The minute the employees opened the door, the store filled quickly with people and dresses were being pulled, snatched, grabbed from any direction. The employees were very helpful with moving traffic and getting people in and out of the fitting rooms. Thank God for my bridesmaids, because if I didn't have the, I would not have been able to try on at least 5 dresses. I found "the one" and it was basically 75% off retail. Since it was the sample sale, I had to do all the alterations myself, but I only ended up having to alter the hem. I received numerous compliments on the dress and I really enjoyed the whole experience.

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!

I mean, what can I possibly say here! The only thing I was certain about going into the wedding planning process(besides my groom) was the designer of my dress! My Monique Lhuillier gown is the dress of my dreams! It feels and looks luxurious and I feel amzing in it! I cannot wait to wear it for real!! I lucked out and bought mine at a sample sale!

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.

Awful experience. The worst of all my bridal gown appointments. I got a very cold feeling the first time i went but i liked one dress very mcuh so i went back with 2 of my bridesmaids. While i was there looking at gowns on the rack one of the sales women bumped into me very hard and didnt say anything. I thought maybe she didnt realize. When she did it a second time hard enough for my purse to fall off i was shocked!!! I am looking at a 10,000 dress here so i expect some decent service. While in the dressing room the very same sales person barged in asking the person helping me if we had a certain dress in the room. Without asking me or even acknowledging that i was there....the rude sales associate took the dress from my room and NEVER brought it back. WTF?!?! she didnt even ask if that was one that i really wanted to try and more importantly never brought it back. The help there feel like stepford robots. I found out afterwards that it was the manager that was helping me. I find that kind of service unacceptable and refused to give them a dime. I have heard from a couple other people that they have had the same experience. Blech...spend your hard earned money elsewhere

I was so lucky to get my Monique Lhuillier dress at a trunk show! I saw it at a Bridal Show and fell in love with it, but my heart dropped when I found out the price. I love their dresses, and felt like a princess in mine!

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

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!

Well I wasn't going to say anything but when you are looking to spend close to 10k on a dress for the most important day of your life you want to be treated with decency and respect. I went to Monique Lhullier with one of my bridesmaids and was absolutley in love with the dresses but not with the treatment of the staff. 4 consultants looked at us and never acknowledged that we were standing there. The after being brushed off for the 3rd time I randomly walked over to the only consultant that smiled at me. Funny thing is, I was dressed in a beautful chiffon dress and my bridesmaid as well so they could not have been thrown off by appearance. The consultant helped me tremendously and I was very happy with the dress I found but then the internal battle began. Could I pay 7k for a dress in a bridal salon where the staff did not acknowledge my existence? Answer? No... I told the consultant that although I appreciated her effort my bridal experiance was ruined by the initial treatment of her staff.. Did I mention that when I went there I waited 20 minutes before so much as a hello. Come to find out the consultant was a manager and she was very apologetic. It is sad that even in 2009 customer service skills are still a rare find. Shame on Monique Lhuillier for employing people that act this way I hope that they are able to get better staff and better treatment for their clients.

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!

Simply: no one can beat Monique Lhuillier dresses!

I was so lucky to get my Monique Lhuillier dress for my wedding! I love their dresses, and felt like a princess in mine!

I had a wonderful experience at the Monique Salon in West Hollywood. I was a little intimidated walking in at first, but after meeting with my bridal consultant, I was immediately put at ease. Megan was my consultant and she was BY FAR the best consultant I worked with at any of the salons I went to in LA, and I went to SO many!

Also, the alterations lady here, Wendy, was remarkable. She did not stop until I was 100% satisfied with every little detail. She went above and beyond and even stitched my Great Uncle's handkerchief into the lining of the dress for my something blue.

Together Megan and Wendy made my experience at Monique Lhuillier amazing! I felt like I really found the perfect dress for me and I have the ladies there to thank for that!

HIGHGLY RECOMMENDED!

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.

Monique Lhuillier was the designer of my dress that I got at the Brides Room in Nashville, TN. The Monique dresses are the most gorgeous dresses out there. The lace is so feminine and elegant. I received compliments over and over again about how my dress almost looked vintage. I love that! While her dresses are expensive, it is absolutely worth every penny to wear a Monique Lhuillier dress. You only get married to the man of your dreams once!

Truly lovely work. Her dress is a perfect fit for my body type and skin complexion. Her ivory base prevented me from looking like a snow queen and her tasteful amount of tulle prevented me from looking like a marshmallow. Even though the entire gown is made of lace, the cut stops the fabric from overwhelming my small frame. The strapless, lace, ivory, A-line works perfectly for me!

Great service, but I must have made over 8 trips to Beverly Hills from Irvine and they still couldn't fit my wedding dress correctly. For some reason the detail of that a lot of girls who bought the same wedding gown as mine had trouble getting it fitted correctly had slipped the sales person's mind. I would have been gladly to choose another wedding gown. I also heard that another girl had trouble getting her dress fitted correctly at Monique Lhuillier. Word of advice, find a better alteration place. Or you'll find yourself very frustrated and spent too much for a lousy alteration service.

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.

I love Monique Lhiller dresses. I got a lot of compliment on my wedding day. absolutely love it !

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

I absolutely love the dress I got for my wedding - Monique Lhullier XOXO style, but I really want to see it. I bought it for $8,000 in Kleinfeld in 2008, and want to sell it for $3,500

Here is the link to the dress: http://moniquelhuillier.yolasite.com/

I'll ship it free in US.

Good luck!

Beautiful dresses and wonderful services and sales!

Gorgeous classic gowns..very nice cuts.
