Helen and Irina are the ultimate wedding dress team! I could not have been happier with my one of a kind Helen Miller custom dress. It was everything that I wanted: elegant, ethereal, and whimsical. Prior to finding Helen's Bridal shop, I had been to about 10-15 bridal shops around the Bay Area and was even talking to international designers. Helen's place was my last stop and I was about to go with another dress I wasn't 100% sure about, until I got that "feeling" while trying on dresses at And Something Blue.Helen's dresses are unique and exude elegance + class. She is a true visionary. Her prices for a custom dress are incredibly low and cannot be beat. She has her dresses made in Europe, so if you are looking for a European feel in San Francisco, this is the place for you. Irina was also an expert on what to do on all things alterations. It's clear she has an incredible depth of knowledge that few seamstresses have. I cannot recommend Helen and Irina enough!

I've been meaning to do this for ages but I kept forgetting. I had a custom wedding dress made by Helen and Irina and it was perfect. They really helped me dial in exactly what I wanted and the dress fit like a dream. If you want a gown made, then go see Helen and Irina!

DO NOT GET YOUR ALTERATIONS HERE! I am beside myself right now. I brought my dress here to be altered because of all the rave reviews. I drove an hour each time I needed to go to the store. But I could tell something was not right. The most recent time I went, they said the dress was done. But I could see the hem was messy on the bottom - uneven, and there were some spots where underlayers of tulle were sticking out from below the top layer of lace. I had pointed out the hem at a previous appointment and they said they would fix it, but obviously they didn't. There was also gapping below my arms where the dress came away from my body. They looked at me in the dress and said it didn't look like it would need any more alterations. I agreed, and signed the form saying the dress was fine, *only* because I knew I had to get it out of there. I brought it to a local tailor just now and the situation is so much worse than I thought. The problems I noticed are there: - The dress is too short in the front (which can't be fixed!) - It's too long on the sides, despite the fact that I had told them the hem looked uneven. And still there is tulle sticking out. - The gapping under my arms is because the boning of the dress is too long for my short torso, which they did nothing about BUT ALSO: - There are holes in the lace - There are places where the lace was sewed back on after hemming done badly, so it puckers or isn't sewed down all the way - There is extra lace that wasn't removed - They sewed the liner that came with the dress in, but didn't alter it at all so it would actually fit me (my torso is too short for what comes from the manufacturer) - When they sewed the liner in they added extra seams/darts for some reason?? - They gave me only three buttons for the bustle, so I looked like someone out of Victorian England with a huge butt when it was done up. I thought this was just how bustles were but apparently it doesn't have to be this way. - They used SHIRT BUTTONS for the bustle - Even when bustled, the train still dragged on the floor My local tailor is going to fix what she can (via several appointments and several hundred dollars), but I am horrified not only that they did this to my dress, but that they looked at it - with problems that were so bad even I, an untrained eye, could see - and had the gall to tell me it didn't need any more alterations. I don't know if they thought they could rip me off with shoddier work than usual, or if this is how they do every dress, but either way I would encourage everyone to steer clear.

I made a one-hour appointment online to shop for a wedding dress for the first time. Parking was easy nearby on a Sunday morning. The dress selection is fantastic. Helen Miller designs are unique and cover a wide variety of styles. My sales associate was kind and professional, making sure to close the curtain fully and step out to give me as much privacy as I needed. Although I did not end up purchasing a dress here, I had a fantastic experience and loved many of their styles. Many of their dresses are not shown on their website so be sure to stop in to shop for yourself. Highly recommend for their quality of dresses and quality of customer service.

Long overdue but I went back to Helen in 2019 for MY wedding dress. SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! My dress was beautiful and the quality was just amazing. I had a destination wedding and lost two dress sizes a week before the wedding but Helen made sure everything was ready on time and made sure my alterations were complete. If you want a stress free experience, Helen Miller is the place for you! She also does customizations which we did for my dress and it came out just as we talked about. Love Helen so much she made my wedding dress dreams come true

Delayed but much necessary review of the salon and designers behind my dream dress! Helen and Irina were beyond understanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating to help me create a customized dress. I drew inspiration from several of the pre-existing designs, and they were able to combine these ideas into a fabulous creation. Working with them was an absolute pleasure from start to finish- from trying on so many gorgeous samples in the most beautiful salon, to easily scheduling fitting appointments, to receiving the stunning final product. Prices were beyond reasonable, considering the beautiful imported fabrics/lace/detailing they use, as well as the expert craftsmanship and handiwork involved. Needless to say, my husband was floored when he saw my dress during our first look, and my day and forever memories would not be what they are without Helen Miller Bridal- thank you!!!

I didn't end up finding my dress here but my overall experience was pleasant. Nice selection of dresses. The associate was knowledgeable in fitting and alterations. Well constructed dresses and a wide variety. Would recommend while searching for the dress.

I had an appointment here last week with Helen, and what an amazing experience! The dresses she selected to have in stock are gorgeous and she's an absolute sweetheart and so helpful. Tailoring is done in house for very reasonable prices. Out of three shops I've been to in SF I enjoyed my experience here the most due to the customer service.

This boutique is different. All the dresses are so unique. I was looking for a bigger dress, a real princess type, but I didn't want to spend a fortune on it. Helen Miller is the place! Everyone here was so sweet and helpful, and on my first appointment I found the perfect dress. It was customized in a very timely manner (in only two months!), they listened to all my requests and made very helpful suggestions. The designer herself, whom I had the pleasure of meeting during one of my visits, is extremely kind, caring, and down to earth. The ladies helped me find my perfect veil and earrings, too. On top of it all, they ordered me a big tiara all the way from Moscow. I was treated like a princess and looked like one in my finished dress, and I couldn't be happier!
