| I have now also gone to Baroness (bank), Cedar Closet (lisgar) and Sherilyn's boutique (nicholas). I wasn't too fond of the lady at Baroness, she was quite rude at the start and when I told her my budget (under 2000) she gave me a "look" that even my friend noticed but she did let me try on about 7 or 8 dresses and gave me opinions and warmed up after awhile. I know there have been ALOT said about Cedar closet on this site as well as others but I had a pleasant experience there. I am not sure if it was the owner or not helping me but it was older ish woman and she was friendly enough..I might have found the one but not sure yet..and then at Sherilyn's Boutique I didn't have an appointment so she pretty much shunned me but she let me look at the dresses and then let me try one on JUST ONE though..even though it was completely dead in there but whatever..I would recommend all these places. lots of selection and different price ranges! goodluck all my fellow ottawa brides to be!

| I went to All that Glitters in North Grower yesterday. They were very friendly, not overly pushy and had a good selection. The prices also seemed reasonable. I would definitely recommend them. My only complaint was that they didn't want us to take pictures. However, when I said that I would never buy a gown without seeing how I photograph in it first she agreed to let my friend take a few pictures of my favorite one. On a side note, do any of you Ottawa brides remember which stores did/did not allow you to take pictures?

| Yen's bridal is awful!! The people who work there are terribly rude. I ended up buying my dress on ebay.. but I got it altered at Laysieng. They were soooooo sweet and they did amazing things with my dress. I recommend them 100 percent.

I tried dress shopping in Ottawa but found that there werent enough choices and things tended to be overpriced. So I drove to Montreal and shopped on St. Hubert instead where there are a billion bridal shops. I found my dress in one day! I had to go 3 times in total. once to look around, once for fitting and alternations, and the last time to pick it up. It was definitly worth the drives! I got an amazing dress at a great price.

| i would try justina mccaffrey. i bought my dress at their boutique in TO and they were so nice. the dresses are couture so a bit pricey but they are made to fit your body and all alterations etc are free.
