Kaitlyn P. Married on 08/10/2022A dream come true!
I had the most amazing wedding dress experience at DIY! I've been following them for years and always knew that if I were to get married, I would definitely go to them for my dress. From the start, Justine and her whole team make you feel like you are a star! I had the pleasure of working with Justine when choosing my dress and she made me feel so comfortable and confident the entire time. They didn't have my size in the sample dresses and went above and beyond to make sure I was able to have the best experience and choose the right dress for me. I'm so excited for my wedding day and to be able to finally wear the dress of my dreams :) I can't recommend them enough!Dream It Yourself's reply:
Thank you so much Kaitlyn for taking the time to send us such a lovely message! 🥰 We are very touched to hear that you loved your experience with us - you are definitely a stunning DIY bride 💖 We wish you all the best with your husband! -

Stitch Married on 28/08/2022A great experience
The boutique is lovely, and all the employees very welcoming. I loved my experience with them and their choices of dresses. I also bought a lively hair accessory there. One negative: the garment bag is see through in the light, which is not ideal when you are traveling for your wedding if you don't want your partner to see the dress. Handles on the bag to use when folded would also be a nice addition, so it's more comfortable to carryDream It Yourself's reply:
Hello,
Thank you for having taken the time to leave this review. 💕 We really appreciate knowing that you loved your experience at DIY! 🥰
You are our first bride who has given us such a mitigated return on our garment bags: we will definitely look into this matter! Thank you for letting us know, we only want the best for our brides.
We hope that you had a beautiful wedding and that you felt amazing in your dress! 😍 -

DIY was such a lovely experience. I wanted something a little less traditional and boy did they deliver! This store was recommended to me by a friend and in turn I told 2 of my friends to go - both got their dresses there too!!!Dream It Yourself's reply:

Kate M. Married on 02/11/2019Couldn't have dreamt a better experience
Such an inviting and comfortable space! As someone who was feeling really nervous about going dress shopping, I felt immediately comfortable in Dream It Yourself's space. Justine is very kind and attentive and really listened to what I wanted, and suggested things that I would have never thought of! There was never any pressure to like anything. I ended up finding my dream dress here!!!! :)
When I went to pick up my dress with two of my bride's maids we were greeted with warm smiles and champagne by the team. Such a lovely energy!!!!
I would definitely recommend Dream It Yourself to anyone who's looking for a wedding dress as I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience!
Merci beaucoup Justine et equipe!!!! -

Chloé Married on 10/06/2019DIY la perfection de A à Z! 👰🏻
Je suis une mariée gentille mais exigeante... c’est normal on ne se marie qu’une fois. Avec 5 ans d’accumulation de Pinterest des fois on peu si perdre, mais je savais que je voulais un mariage à notre image. En nature et un peu bobo. Je ne trouvais de robe nul part. Aucune avec un coup de cœur. J’ai été jusqu’à Ottawa et Toronto mais rien.
Je suis tombé par hasard sur DYI (merci Instagram). Je les ai contacté et dès ce moment, c’était plus clair, plus facile.
Une équipe d’une générosité incroyable, d’un accompagnement impeccable, d’un professionnalisme comme nul part ailleurs (croyez-moi pour en avoir fait beaucoup), et d’un style unique comme ont en rêve! J’AI DIT OUI À DIY!-

Amanda D. Married on 06/04/2019Awful customer service - AVOID
« They have gorgeous dresses but their customer service is so bad, NEVER shop there ». This is what I told everyone who complimented me on my dress and asked me where it was from.
Read this part of their sales contract carefully : ‘’If you wish to benefit from services of our seamstresses, please make yourself available on the appointment date which will be proposed to you (appointment from Monday to Friday, from 10h to 18h).’’ This truly means they will propose one option (ex: Tuesday 10 a.m.) and they fully expect you to make yourself available.
For those who work during business hours, this was 100% inconvenient. My job also requires me to travel Monday to Friday on certain weeks. I was left with no choice but to forego their seamstress services and work with my own seamstress, as DIY’s service was only Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm. I though (wrong) that since I only had to pick up the dress, I could do it on the weekend.
Though their boutique is open Saturday 10-8pm and Sunday 1-8pm, make no mistake. These hours are only for selling more dresses, not for giving good customer service to those who already purchased a dress. As they explained, it was “impossible” to pick up the dress other than Monday to Thursday as per the contract I signed.
Organizing the dress pickup was the most stressful part of planning my wedding. I exchanged dozens of e-mails and numerous voicemails.
If you have super flexible work hours and can accommodate DIY’s curiously customer-unfriendly policies, than maybe this is a store for you. But if you’re a busy bride-to-be, learn from my mistakes and buy from a store that will lower your stress level, not add to it.
Dream It Yourself's reply:
Amanda,
Receiving a wedding dress is the most important moment for our bride and for us. The wedding is getting closer, tailor made dresses always require some touch up to perfectly fit the body and we want the perfection to all our brides. At DIY, we do not see that moment as a simple « pick up » of a dress. It requires times and attention and we want to be fully dedicated to the bride. It is our philosophy to take care of our bride until the end and we make no compromise on this. As you can see in our reviews, our brides appreciate that approach.
Giving the best services to our brides, include making sure our seamstress partners are present during your dress reception appointment. It is not an obligation for us to provide this service; it is an additional option we are very proud to offer. Our seamstress partners are independents (they are not DIY employees, it’s the reasons why you can paid directly the seamstress without fees/shares or additional costs from DIY), we have to adapt to each seamstress's schedules. They have families and personal life we want to respect. Indeed, our partner seamstress do not work on weekends but only during the week from Monday to Friday, from 10am to 6pm.
We fully understand your job is taking you a lot of time. It is exactly why we insist on this topic during you appointment and why it is indicated so clearly on the contract who have signed and accepted. We do not make weekend dress reception.
As you said, we exchanged a lot mails and calls together. We have offered you 9 different appointment options during these exchanges. You have validated a meeting with our seamstress 2 times but, each time, you had to cancel last minute.
We are sincerely sorry that your dress reception did not meet your expectations. You deserve the best for this magic moment. On our side, we think we deserve to explain this situation with more details.
You have good reasons to not recommend our boutique for any future brides who want a boutique where the dress reception is a simple quick “pick up” meeting. We do not offer this option and never will. We are very clear and honest about that.
We are happy to know if your guest found you gorgeous in your dress. We wish you the best, to you and your family.
