PSA future brides : go book an appointment with Kelly P! I've literally been running around all over the South Bay to find that "perfect dress" but each & every time, I felt so bad about my body & how the dresses look on me. Although all my friends and bridesmaids insisted that I looked great (ofc bc they're supportive) I would leave 4-5 diff bridal shops feeling so disappointed, devastated and upset about not being able to find the dress that I had envisioned myself in for the wedding day. I'm so glad that I decided to come back to Trudy's for the 2nd time and got assisted by Kelly. She's so warm and welcoming, and immediately made me feel good confidence --- not to mention, we had so much fun!! She took my inspos and went to grab the dresses that I had wanted but also found a few more that she thought would fit my style. After trying on all the dresses from fire & flare, Aline & satin body con, I adored the dress she hand selected for me and was soooo close to saying yes, but after telling her about the wedding venue and the wedding aesthetic + color, Kelly insisted that try back on my second favorite because it would make the vibe better in a more classy way (as Ive mentioned that's what I wanted to her earlier in our convo). She also took extra care in making sure I was 100% confident, gave me tips & pointers on how each dress looked on my body and everything she said was so true. She wasn't pushy or instilled fear in me that I "only have 7months left" and told me to sit on the photos, and come back whenever I'm ready. I'm so glad I did because I ended up loving the dress that she recommended after looking at the photos over and over again when I came home. All my bridesmaids also agreed that that dress was the one! I said yes!! I came back and said yes to the dress after trying it on once more, and I cannot thank Kelly enough for all of her patience and help during the process. She definitely understood the assignment!!

I did not end up getting my dress from here but I had a wonderful appointment with Judy! I feel like she totally understood what I was going for and pulled so many great options within my budget. I ultimately ended up going with something a little simpler from somewhere else, but Judy was absolutely wonderful! I do wish that they were a bit kinder when answering the phone and considering the amount they charge for each appointment, it'd be nice if you at least got offered a cup of water, but I definitely think this is a great spot to check out for any bride to bes!

Jenn was super sweet and knowledgeable. She was able to learn what our bride was looking for and pulled dresses according to that. Our bride felt well heard and taken care of! I would definitely recommend scheduling an appointment with Jenn!

I visited Trudy's over the past weekend and had the most amazing experience! They have so many dresses- in so many different styles! I booked the private suite for me and my bridal party and we had a blast! The suite was so nice and roomy! My bridal party had so much fun at the candy bar and sipping on the ciders during the appointment. Jen was my bridal stylist and she was so helpful! She understood my vision and brought so many beautiful dresses for me to try on. Jen made me feel very comfortable and I had such a wonderful time during my appointment with her.

Had a phenomenal experience with Alyssa. She pulled a dress I would never have pulled myself and it ended up being THE dress. She was so kind and made me so comfortable. Couldn't be more grateful for her help and excited to wear my dress! Alyssa made this such a lovely experience and I would certainly recommend this shop and her expertise for anyone looking for their dream dress.

My Consultant was ABBY and she was amazing. Not only did she listen and brought out the perfect dress. She offered amazing advice without being overbearing. She made the experience 10/10 with her attention to detail. She offers just enough advice and made me super comfortable during the entire experience.

I don't normally leave reviews but I was compelled to do so because of the amazing experience I had with my wedding dress shopping at Trudys. Judy was my bridal consultant and she was so warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Today was my first dress shopping stop for my October 2024 wedding and I was able to find my dress today! After showing Judy some of my wedding dress inspirations and describing what I was looking for she was able to find a perfect selection of wedding dresses for me to try on. I did not feel rushed at all and she even took the time to have me try various veil lengths with the dresses. I absolutely love my wedding dress and could not recommend Trudys and Judy as your bridal consultant enough! Bonus is that I ended up with a wedding dress that was exactly within my budget.

Not only did I get my senior prom dress here back in 2010, but my mom and I recently had an amazing experience trying on and buying my dream wedding dress! My dresser Lily was absolutely wonderful - she looked at my inspo pictures, pulled multiple dresses of different kinds, and truly helped me narrow down what I liked and didn't like. I ended up finding the perfect dress at our exact pay point and was so happy!

The formal dresses are beautiful and the young woman (Nikki or Niki) who helped us was helpful, professional, upbeat, fun, and had great suggestions. selecting, trying on, and falling in love with dresses was a great experience. We found a beautiful dress for our daughter's senior ball, that we are quite happy with. I do wish that since these prices are high, that there wouldn't be a tacky sign suggesting we tip the person who helped us. A 20% tip on an 800.00 prom dress. Are you kidding me? This is not West Beverly Hills, this is a South Bay strip mall with lousy, tightly cramped parking. We weren't on a velvet couch sipping high end champagne, we were just shopping for a dress for a high school function. Now I know if the owner were to read this, they may say, "If you don't want to tip, then don't tip." Here is the problem that I have with this, Niki is wonderful at her job, and it's YOUR responsibility to pay her, not mine. I supported your business by purchasing a nice dress. We have 3 daughters and hopefully someday a daughter in law. So I would express my appreciation by returning for future purchases. I tip at bars, restaurants, beauty salons, and health spas. Why would I tip at a clothing store? Where will we draw the line? Tip the nurse for my flu vaccine? Tip the school secretary for answering the phone? When I am asked to tip someone for showing up to work, and helping my daughter try on dresses, that is when a 5 star experience drops to a low 4- high 3. I bought my veil and tiara here for my wedding a long time ago. I was surprised to see that the overall look of the place is a bit cheapened. I still recommend Trudy's, but I do wonder if it has changed owners?

I went dress shopping almost a month ago and had an amazing experience! I got Jen as my bridal consulting and she was an absolute dream. She was so sweet, listened to what I was saying. She is so genuine and I can tell she loves what she does.The shop was super cute and clean, all of the other consultants were very nice. They all made me feel special and like a princess. They have so many beautiful dress you a bound to fall in love with one.I just picked up my dress today and I am so happy! I will be recommending to every bride I cross paths with to go to Trudy's.

Judy at Trudy's was the MOST amazing! Trudy's was my third store when wedding dress shopping and I was starting to pin down the style I wanted; I showed Judy a photo of the style I was starting to love and the FIRST DRESS she picked for me was the one!! I could not have asked for a better, more supportive experience. Aesthetic - 10/10 Tons of space for brides and their parties. Tons of dresses of all styles and budgets. Tons of love for their cute decor! Staff - 10/10 Judy was amazing but so were all the sweet team members walking by providing compliments and hyping my girls up!

After following up, we were told by the manager and owner that they would buy back the dress but with a 30% restocking fee (which is huge on a $4,400 dress). The manager admitted that the dress was not made properly and asked that we speak to the owner to see if we could adjust the restocking fee. Instead of being open to our feedback and negotiation, he was incredibly rude and did not budge on the $1200 we were losing over a dress that even he admitted was not what we were expecting. He tried to blame us for his team ordering the wrong size (as if we had measured it ourselves) and said we should have insisted on speaking to a manager the day we picked up the dress (even though his own staff was telling us there was nothing they could do and we needed to walk away - not sure how that's a legitimate reason to keep our $1200). DO NOT shop here - wedding dresses are way too important to risk a situation like this.

I'm getting married soon so of course one of the first things I did after getting engaged was start looking for my wedding dress! I'd been to Trudys before when my friend was looking for her dress so I already had a great experience there, just as a bridesmaid. When it was my turn, I knew I wanted Trudys to be one of our stops. It was super easy to schedule an appointment at Trudys and I loved the dresses so much, I went back the same week to show my family. I was helped by Lily and Judy on the separate occasions and both were so great and helpful. Both really took the time to listen to what I was looking for, what I didn't want, and my budget, and they expertly found multiple dresses that fit the bill. Trudys can be intimidating because of all the dresses you see that they have, but I loved that I didn't have to do the looking. Their staff knows their inventory so all us brides have to do is tell them our criteria and they'll pick the dresses out for us. I specifically also came to Trudys for their Disney allure line. It was so great to get to see the dresses I saw online, on me, in person at Trudys. The store also just creates such a great environment for brides. I love that even other groups hype up other brides as they walk out - truly such a wonderful experience. While I didn't end up choosing my dress at Trudys, I will recommend them to any bride any time. In fact, I returned just a couple of months later because my best friend is also getting married. She came with me to Trudys and I came with her when it was her turn. Pictures to follow post-wedding, but definitely consider checking Trudys if you're getting married soon. They also have sample sales so check out their website!
