I don't want to sound redundant but I had been looking all over New York for a wedding gown, went through 18 appointments and finally got desperate and resigned myself to getting a gown I kind-of-liked at another bridal salon. There was always something wrong or missing in all my appointments. Luckily, I found Cymbeline last minute who had opened a showroom just a couple of months ago. I decided to go check it out and found an extraordinary experience of personalized, attentive to detail, and unique service. This is Mona, not a salesperson, a designer and stylist herself. She was able to read me, understand exactly what I was looking for and how I wanted to look like on the most important day of my life. She envisions my look and that was nice to get a not-so standard set of questions as in other bridal salons, but an artist who is trying to figure me out as a person and making my perfect gown come into reality! How? Mona grabbed fabrics, pinned, put on accessories, and spent as much time as needed to show me she knew what I wanted. And she did. I came back 1 hour after (from another appointment) and she was still there, we did it again (I should mention she is incredibly patient!) and there, I got the famous feeling that I read about ""Oh, that's it, that's the dress!"". I just ordered the dress of my life and I cannot wait to get to my fittings with designer Mona.
Pros: Personalized, one customer at a time, designer opinion
Cons: Really... none
