1038 University Ave, Berkeley“SIYA is a gem! This place isn’t comparable to any other Indian clothes shopping experience I’ve had. Found out about them from a family member who always has the best outfits. It’s my go to spot now. Their selection is fantastic, offering a wide range of high-quality options for all occasions. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Sonu is super helpful—both really go out of their way to style you for the events you're shopping for. I was able to get several outfits for my brother's wedding and my best friend's wedding within a day, and every piece was unique and beautiful. They even tailored everything, and the fit was perfect. One blouse needed to be fixed again and they were so kind and quick about it. They truly care that their clients are well taken care of. The prices reflect the quality you’re getting—well worth it! I also found gorgeous matching jewelry to complete my looks that the owner hand selected and was patient while I figured out what I liked best. My husband got three outfits and couldn’t be more excited to have high-quality Indian clothes, from a hassle free, fast, and easy shopping experience. Highly recommend SIYA for anyone looking for stunning Indian fashion with top-notch service!”
“I had the best experience working with Mary at Bridal Breeze! I went into the store not sure if what I was looking for even existed, and I found one that was perfect (plus several others that were also beautiful, just not exactly what I wanted). I think the store has fewer dresses that some of the other stores I went to, but they were all perfectly curated, so I was trying on one beautiful dress after another! They also post their entire inventory online, which was really useful for me beforehand, as I was trying to decide whether it was worth the drive from the south bay all the way up to the city. It definitely definitely was! They do not do alterations, but they have a few tailors who they recommend. I've heard horror stories about other shops ordering dresses multiple sizes too big so they can gouge you on alterations, so I'm happy to have avoided that conflict of interest. My dress pretty much fits, just needs some minor adjustments. Do note that the store is very small, so they can only handle one bride at a time. Definitely make an appointment before you go.”

406 Jackson St, San Francisco“I had the best time at GLL and I found my dress!! My stylist Pooja was super friendly. She ended up recommending the dress I said yes too. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Can’t wait to share pictures of the final product.”
“I had a wonderful experience at Bella Bridesmaid. I was going to be in an upcoming wedding with only 6-8 weeks to purchase a dress. Bc of my time frame I chose from dresses that were already in house. I was still given plenty of options to choose from and found a dress that I was able to order in a different color and size, to fit the them of the wedding party. The dress arrived with plenty of time and was a total hit at the wedding. I received so many compliments. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely shop there again.”
“Came for the antique lace, stayed for the best sewing store I have ever been in. They have notions for every niche textile art in existence and lots of books. The staff is very knowledgeable. Lots of hard to find items like coutil and corsetry hardware, millinery supplies and feathers, bobbins and lace making supplies, and specialty needles. I was able to get some hard to find curved needles. They also have many vintage laces and textiles for sale and a modest stock of modern textiles suitable for historical costumery. Large selection of lace of course! I was shocked and awed by this store and will definitely visit again the next time I'm in Berkeley. Gem!!”

3980 Piedmont Ave, Oakland“We love Yan and we love Lireille! Yan was so lovely to work with from day one - she is knowledgeable, patient, humorous and has a knack for understanding your vision completely (even if you're still working through the details)! She also helped us with many culturally relevant considerations that we deeply appreciated. Designing our custom engagement rings, one of which we used an heirloom jewel for, was such a straightforward and simple process and we could not be more happy with the results. Go with Lireille, you won't regret it!”
“The best « outlet » bridal shop in the Bay! Ended up getting my dress (I specifically wanted silk) from another shop but they have the best sample sale dresses, with a lot of sizes (not just size 8, I am a 2/4). Fell in love with a Carolina Herrera dress in amazing condition at an unbeatable price, and it was an almost perfect fit
Staff is nice! I highly highly recommend.”
“I've been going to John about a year now for various garment needs and every time he has answered hemming and alteration requests with an execution leaving nothing more to be desired. We are fortunate to have him as part of our community.”
“Grace designed my husband’s and mother in law’s clothing for our wedding tea ceremony. She was super patient and helpful throughout the whole process, and the clothes were beautiful! Would highly recommend.”

2190 Washington St Suite 1205, San Francisco“If you want a one of a kind experience and a true personal touch in your wedding dress journey...GO see Joan! She will take the time to get to know you and your style. I appreciated that Joan was willing to share her opinion when I asked for it and because of her I know I will feel great on my wedding day. She is dedicated to her passion and work. Thank you, Joan!!”
“Galina made my dream custom dress possible and affordable! I recommend her services, she is very honest about what she can and can’t do. Custom dresses do take a while so order your dress months in advance to your wedding.”
“I had an incredible experience at the Bridal Galleria this past Saturday! I visited 4 bridal gown stores that weekend. The Bridal Galleria was #2. Parking was very easy. Out of all the stores, this one had the best lighting and mirror. Haily was my helper. She was very easy to connect with, understood what was important to me and my crew very quickly, and grabbed all the right dresses that were all within the right ballpark. Beyond just clipping me in, she helped me in and out of the dresses, grabbed veils, had me hold a bouquet so I could see the whole picture, and made sure I tried on the sample gown. She really went above and beyond. I almost left with the most stunning Berta gown 50% off. I also specifically requested to try the Alexandra from monique lhuillier. They didn't immediately have it so they made sure to get it for me in time for my visit. They didn't pressure me at all and let me sleep on the decision, reassuring me that I could always email them to secure the dress later. I'm so grateful for this experience and how wonderfully they treated me, my family, and my friends.”

Vista Crossing, 1212 Fitzgerald Dr, Pinole“Clemencia helped me with my alterations, and she was AMAZING. Took the extra time to explain all the steps and test how my dress felt. This soon to be bride is very happy, thank you!!”
“I don’t love shopping or being at the center of attention. I was dreading wedding dress shopping. The stylists at Emerald City Gowns were so welcoming. It was a positive and successful experience! I found the perfect dress for me.”
“Lovely was one of my first dress appointments, and Zen set the bar high for stylists. She did her research on my style and venue and selected dresses for me to try that were all stunning. I also enjoyed browsing through the racks with my group to see if there were any other dresses that caught my eye. Zen is so knowledgeable about all the dresses and made the experience fun and easy!”

735 Clay St, San Francisco“Support it! Saw it on the news. Does it have to be done in the third level? I am Chinese living in Miami, and there is no such custom-made cheongsam here. I'm not in California. Can you provide me with the measurements and mail one to me?”
“This review is long overdue! I was referred to Tammy by a family member and going into planning was extremely stressful but Tammy made it so easy for us. She had many suggestions and ideas. She set up the chairs and arch for our outside ceremony and decorated inside the restaurant for the reception and it looked so beautiful, we couldn't be more happier! Our guests were amazed at how beautiful everything was. She's very responsive and honest and just made the wedding planning so smooth for us. If you're looking for like a one-stop shop, this is a place to go and she works within your budget as well!”
“Misia and Sue ARE LITERALLY LIFE SAVERS!!! It was the night before my wedding and as I was steaming my dress, I found a little bit of a loose thread/rip in the front of my dress and they were about to close but were SO sweet and told me to come on by. LITERALLY ANGELS!!
And when I say they saved me, I mean, they SAVED ME!! Cause I needed to be at city hall by 8am the next morning. Then Sue found that other pieces in the front (similar to what had broken) that literally were also needing to be re-enforced or else it would happen all over again.
Also, my veil was completely wrinkled from my flight over here and they also took care of that for me as well!
While I waited, I learned about their hand detailing and process. Misia went into detail about the care they take with EACH dress and I just couldn't believe how meticulous they can be!
The place can be a little hard to find but they're nestled between Frascati and Luxe Places International Realty.
I highly recommend them, especially for their superb attention to detail. I wish I lived in San Francisco to have dresses done by them. Actually I might come back because they are starting to do custom wardrobe and if I had more time in SF, I wish I could shop.
The sweetest mom/daughter who the highest attention to detail. I absolutely recommend them!!!!!”
“I had such AMAZING customer service at this store. This was my first time shopping at Berkley, And i came into the store after having HORRIBLE customer service at Sari Palace, and the 3 people working here gave me the BEST customer service I have ever had. I am a bigger size, and I know it can be hard to find things in my size but the people working and owner were still SUPER nice to me and showed me so so so many beautiful options and pieces. The amount was just right and I am so so happy with the service. Customer service really makes a difference. Thank you Roopam Sarees for being plus size friendly and not making me feel ashamed of my body and giving me the right service. I will be recommending this store to all of my family friends and people I know for the future.”
“This bridal store in San Francisco has absolutely stunning dresses and offers outstanding service. Even though they were fully booked they accommodated me for a last-minute appointment since I don't reside in SF. Sammie and the entire team were exceptionally supportive, providing valuable advice and understanding precisely what I was looking for and what would suit me best.
Thank you so much!!”
“Great customer service, they allowed my daughter to try on 2 dresses before making a decision on color. We ended up ordering her dress came in 2 weeks after promise day, and on her party the dress end up ripping 2 hours after putting on.That’s why I am giving 4 stars.”
