Come with an open-mind and a lil luck, as only purchase if you are more than 100% sure. All sales are final. Adrienne was our sales stylist. She is verse with designers for many years outside of the bridal industry. Absolutely lovely all-aroundMy daughter and I had a successful day, as Adrienne added a few more dresses to the 6 choices. Success with a THE dress that had details and fit that Adrienne chose. *First-come served, no appts*90-min visit from the time the bride tries on dresses*Metered parking *A list of suggested seamstresses and tailors is given

Loved this store! Even though I did not end up buying my dress here, I could not have had a better experience. I went in on a Sunday morning, right when they opened and no other bride was there to try on. Alexa and Jaylee were my own personal hype team and were so easy to get a long with. They let me go through the racks and select 8 dresses to try from and gave me additional dresses to try on based on what was and wasn't working. There were so many beautiful dresses to pick from with wonderful discounts

This location holds the most sentimental feelings till this day! My Dad and mom picked my wedding dress and it was my dream come true! I value this shop for all the trust and meaning fitting. We cried we laughed and my wedding dress was beyond perfect. It will forever be the best day of my life. My dress was by Enzoani and it was perfect for me. Fit like a glove. I have a summer wedding it was perfect! Mermaid strapless was key and my parents got to pick the perfect dress for me. I took too long to write this review.#Bridetobride #sayyes #the dress

This is a nice place with a good selection of dresses in the $800- $2,000 range. Staff is helpful. After you buy a dress they will give you a list of their preferred alterations places. Don't wast your time. I called them all and they will charge you about $1,000. The cost of a whole new dress. Go to Encinos Tailors Bridal & Tuxedo in Encino. They did mine for $450 and did a fantastic job. I just wanted to share so the next person doesn't have to go on the wild goose chase of getting a decent quote like I did.

This place is a true gem! After visiting a few salons around town, I found my dream dress here, and I couldn't be happier with the dress and the warm, welcoming experience.The selection of dresses is incredible - if there's a dress style you found online or at one of the salons in town that you like, there is a VERY high chance they have something similar here - at a much lower cost. But the real standout here are the stylists. They know their inventory so well, and are masters at pulling options that work well for every possible taste. The vibe of this place is so warm and welcoming. You really get the feeling that the stylists are excited to help you find the best dress, whether it's from their shop or not. I so appreciated that they were not pushy at all.What they recommend you do is to go to some bridal shops and salons first and try on some dresses. Get a sense of the style and shape you want. Then come into the Glamour closet, show their incredibly experienced stylists the photos of the dress style(s) you like, and then watch them fly into action, filling your dressing room with options that fit that style - plus a few wild cards just for fun. Or, if you already know what you are looking for, you can go straight in and browse. All of the dresses here are samples directly from the designer. So they haven't ever been worn to a wedding or by another bride. They are mostly used for photo shoots, etc. So they are in great condition - and you are getting them at a much lower sample price. Do come prepared to buy a dress if you fall in love with it. The shop can't hold the samples after you leave. However, they will make notes about any dresses you love, and if you decide you want it later, you can call, ask if the dress is still there, and even buy it over the phone if you can't make it back to try on again asap. The stylists are also super knowledgable about tailoring, since that's a big part of the shop model. You buy whatever the sample size they have is and have it tailored. They talked me through what the tailoring options would be for each of my top choices, even making some great creative suggestions for more stylistic alterations. They'll be honest with you about whether the sample size you are getting will work for you (and your body type and size). I also really appreciated how much these ladies know about wedding dresses! They see it all and they know the trends, the ins and outs of different designers, etc. They also had some great practical advice to take into consideration when it comes to your venue location. I'm pretty sure their advice saved me from making a dress choice that would have been beautiful, but not a good fit for my outdoor venue. They do only take two brides at a time, and it's walk-in only. I was able to pop by in the middle of the day during the week and I didn't have to wait at all either time I went. My guess is it might be busier on the weekends, but if that's the case, they take your number and text you when it's your turn. There are multiple coffee shops nearby to chill at (and a West Elm to browse around) to kill time if there is a wait on a busy day. Honestly, I recommend all brides check this place out once you have a sense of the style you want. Even if you aren't on a budget. I was about to buy a dress that was a fair bit more money and found one in a similar style that I liked even better, at a much lower price point. Once I have some photos to share, I'll update this review with pics!

We showed up today and they’re closed apparently even if it says on their website that they’re open on Tuesdays. Drove over an hour to get here. So disappointed

I enjoyed working with the manager, Rachel, on finding my dress!! I told her about the wedding venue and my desire to find a unique and figure flattering dress and she immediately pulled a bunch of amazing dresses. Her first pick dress is what I ended up choosing! Rachel's vast knowledge on couture designers and her attention to detail made Glamour Closet the most enjoyable dress shopping experience. My sister also found her wedding dress at the Glamour Closet location in Chicago. I highly recommend Glamour Closet to any bride!!

This was the one and only place I needed to go to! Debbie was amazing so sweet! I went in just to look not knowing I’d find my dress! She made me feel comfortable and the fact they don’t pressure you to go higher in price. The one one one attention you get it amazing and worth the wait! Highly recommend going!

I walked into Glamour Closet without expectations and left with the wedding dress of my dream. As a sample sale store, they do not take appointments and brides cannot "hold" a dress if they decide to continue shopping elsewhere. So when I fell in love with the first wedding dress I tried on-- a beautiful beaded Lihi Hod gown -- I had to take a risk and leave the dress behind. I attended my other appointments scheduled that same day, but nothing came close to the dress I found at Glamour Closet. The customer service at Glamour Closet was fantastic. I purchased my dress at the height of the pandemic, but they remained extremely professional and warm. They weren't pushy and made me and my two guests feel comfortable. I wish I remember the name of the consultant who assisted me as she was so sweet and easy to work with. As other reviews noted, many of the dresses do have imperfections, but to be expected since they are sample gowns. Luckily, my dress was in good condition and required no alterations other than bustling. I did have it cleaned before my wedding. Definitely recommend stopping by Glamour Closet, especially if you have other wedding dress appointments nearby. Who knows, you might find the dress of your dream at a discounted price.

Awesome experience at Glamour Closet in NYC! Went on a whim not expecting to leave with a dress. Krystina was so helpful and I walked out with my rehearsal dinner AND wedding day dress. Great designers and choices. $1,000 % recommend!

I wish I could have 5 weddings so I could come back 5 times and shop with Holly! After going to 4 different bridal stores in LA with family and friends, I stumbled on GC. I was surprised by how many rules there are when wedding dresses shopping at the other bridal boutiques. Holly made the process so much fun even though I came solo and she patiently helped me find my dream dress. If you are looking to try on a lot of different designer dresses...this place is ideal! I loved my experience here and will recommend this place to anyone on the hunt for a wedding gown.

While I didn't end up buying my dress here, it was not for lack of inventory or kindness from the staff. They have SO many dresses. There is not a set schedule of deliveries but you can definitely ask them when they've received new inventory. I'm a bargain shopper so I loved the idea of this "wholesale model" and I think if I had more time to shop for my dress I would've kept coming back to check the new inventory!Staff is incredibly welcoming! They genuinely want to help you find the perfect dress. I found a dress that I thought I liked and instead of them pushing me to buy, they wanted to make sure it could be hemmed for me. They went out of their way to talk to a tailor for me to see if it was possible. Sadly it wasn't, but they didn't have to do that for me! It was incredibly kind and genuine and clearly they care. Would definitely recommend GC. Such a great way to get a deal on a very nice dress! It's tough without appts so I'm not sure how often ppl get turned away since only two brides can look around at a time, but would highly suggest getting there early so you can try some amazing dresses.

Never judge a dress on the rack! My friend said yes to the dress here and we honestly didn't think that would happen at all. There's a huge variety of styles and prices they have, but everything is one of a kind, so the options felt slim as we were browsing through. Like we literally started picking dresses not based on looks but based on what sizes were available. A lot of the dresses were out of her comfort zone on the rack, but as soon as she tried it on, they were almost all maybes! I also appreciated that the sales here weren't pushy at all, really prioritized guiding the bride to be feel comfortable with the dress. They don't take appointments, and they don't hold any dresses so if you find something you really like, really consider unless that's a risk you're willing to take! Parking is not too bad, metered street parking, no drinks allowed inside and masks on at all times!
