I recently went on the hunt for "THE" dress....I waited a very long time for this too! (he is so worth the wait!!)....anyway, after one rather disappointing first time bridal gown dress shopping experience, where I thought I may have found "THE" dress, but the staff was not so helpful....I decided to continue my search.

So glad I did!!...I went to The Village Shoppe and Bridal Salon in Belleville Ontario Canada...and I was so pleased I did! The gal helping me there, Chris could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Even when the dresses I was trying on didn't fit correctly, she made sure she spent all the time in the world getting me into the dresses as best she could. Most times she was pinning and pulling and strapping me in.....just so I could get the full effect of each dress.

Chris could not have been more helpful and delightful if she tried! She made the whole experience so enjoyable, and most of all she helped me find "THE" dress!!

The sample dress I tried on was 8 or 9 sizes too big for me, yet somehow Chris got me into that dress so I could see the full potential of it, and just how extremely lovely and perfect it was for me. I knew the minute I got the dress half way up that is was "my' dress, and Chris really helped me to see what my actual size was going to look like.

I highly recommend this wonderful shop, and have been back, after I purchased "THE" dress, to try the sample dress on again with some shoes I have decided on. All I can say is that, Chris and the entire staff at The Village Shoppe could not be more helpful if they tried!. My mother was looking for a dress for herself that day, and again, Chris really made sure she helped out.

I can and do, highly recommend The Village Shoppe in Belleville (Ont) for not just bridal gowns, but for all the inventory, casual and dress. What a truly wonderful experience it was to shop there! The Staff makes it so!
