My maid of honor found this place by taking a poll at her work and heard excellent reviews from numerous people. I was a little skeptical going in - I mean, ""preowned bridal""? Really? How old and outdated would these dresses be?
But from the minute I walked in the door, I realized there was no reason to be worried. The dresses are new and modern and the women who work at Sabrina Ann's are helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced. As soon as I walked in, they worked with me, asking me what I was looking for in a dress, how much I had to spend, and then giving ideas about what would be best for me. They taught me what to look for as I tried dresses on and helped me find the perfect one.
The store itself is classy and inviting. It feels like a bridal boutique without the ""preowned"" aspect dating it at all. They have practically new dresses that were either floor models (women tried them on to get a sense of the dress and then ordered the one they wanted), have never been worn (women changed their minds and could not return the dress), or have been worn once. The fitting rooms are a comfortable size for you and about 2 of your most trusted friends to see the dresses from all angles.
In terms of cost, my dress was originally around $1000 but I got it for $700. I actually had it put on hold ($25) and then went back to get it. I really appreciated being able to put it on hold, just because I wasn't totally ready to make the decision, but I definitely didn't want anyone else considering my dress. I ended up only trying on dresses at Sabrina Ann's because I just loved the one I'd put on hold!
I would (and have already) recommended Sabrina Ann's to friends who are looking for stylish, affordable wedding dresses. They made shopping fun and exciting!
