GUARANTEE YOU WONT STOP SMILING!!!!!!

I had an unexplicable experience at Lestans Fashions Headquarters.
To Tammy and the wonderful LFH staff
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHINGGG!! i am truly greatful. From the moment i walked in, everyone was willing and ready to help me find my perfect dress. All of the ladies were very very nice and friendly. i felt the sincerity in the atmosphere. the dresses in LFH are some of the most beautiful dresses ive ever seen in my life. The staff there is extremely knowledgeable about their dresses. From the minute i told the ladies what i wanted, they knew exactly what i described. When i found the perfect dress, i ordered it and it literally came in the blink of an eye. My experience at Lestans Fashion Headquarters was nothing short of amazing. Because of Tammy and the rest of the Lestans staff, my special day was perfect and i couldnt be any happier.
THANK YOU AGAIN LESTANS.
I WOULD RECOMMENT LESTANS FASHIONS HEADQUARTERS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WONT STOP SMILING!!!!!!

Beautiful Dress

Why do you think Lestan Fashion Headquarters Inc is best ever? Share a tip.I went to Lestan (and ended up ordering my dress) before reading all of these negative reviews and felt compelled to write. When we pulled up and walked in, I was pretty dissapointed since the place is not all that great looking from the outside. However, there is parking right out front which is nice. While the interior leaves much to be desired in terms of decor, I thought the selection of dresses was great and the prices excellent. I ended up getting a beautiful Maggie Sottero gown for a great price. The woman helping me was really nice (so maybe ask for Pat) -- she brought me dresses herself, helped with putting everything on and game me accessories to try on with the dresses so that I could get an idea of the complete look. Sure, the place is a little old fashioned in terms of decor but the prices are good and the service is honest (she was really honest in telling me what I looked best in without regard for the price) - -no they dont run around you in circles but I thought the service was great and loved the dress I picked out. No one asked me about my budget, I just explained what kind of dress I liked and then asked the prices when trying on. I also ordered a veil there. I think it's a worthwhile place to go for beautiful dresses at good prices.

VERY HAPPY

Let me begin by saying I did not initially go here for my dress simply because of price. I was working on a budget and Lestans is not cheap, so I went to that chain of bridal stores...you all know the one. Anyway, after ordering a dress in that chain store, that was promised to me in time for my wedding, here I was 9 days before my wedding and no dress! So I went to Lestans. The salesperson Etty was wonderful. She has an eye for body type and what style of dress would look best. Well I found my dream dress, but it was a size too small. Because I had no time to order the correct size, they asked the head seamstress Josephine if she could work her magic, and that ladies she did! This woman is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She literally took apart my dress and put it back together again, to find any extra material she could find to add to the dress so it would close. She was going on vacation in 3 days, so she asked if I could wait, and she would do most of the work that day within the hour. She stuck by her word, and after a ton of work by this fantasic woman, within the hour i was able to fit into my dress. My 2nd and final fitting was 2 days later, and all I have to do it pick it up tomorrow after its steamed. Needless to say I am VERY happy, and could not recommend them more. They truly went out of their way to accomodate on extremely short notice and literally saved me. I went into there in tears b/c I was fearful that it was too close to my day to find & fix a dress; and I left elated, and beaming with joy. I can't thank them enough!

Enjoyed my experience

This is my first review but I really enjoyed my experience at Lestans. I'd been to several other bridal boutiques (David's Bridal included, ugh!) and at Lestan's I didnt get that corralled cattle feeling. Everyone got individual attention (Collete & Josephine are the BEST!!) and after searching everywhere they were the only store to carry the gown I wanted. They were patient and encouraging and very detailed in the explanations of costs, style, fit, accessories and alterations. My gown arrived and was altered on time and I never felt like I had to wait for anything, the service was very prompt. I was so happy that my dress was exactly what I had hoped for that I danced around the showroom during my final fitting! (It proved that I could salsa in it at my reception, which I did!) Thanks to all the ladies of Lestans, you truly made me the happiest bride on the planet for my special day!!!

Dont be Scared!!

PLEASE do not be scared away by a few bad reviews-- some people are just bridezillas! ;) From the moment I walked into Lestans, they could not be more helpful, gushing over me though I was (only) the maid of honor and not a bride myself. Even the flower girls and the bridesmaids got the royal treatment at each and every fitting! It felt as though there was a whole group of mothers ooh-ing and ahh-ing over my dress.... but were honest when it came down to trying on what must have been over 15 dresses. I needed a very specific color and even after a million swatches were turned down for being slightly off, Tammy, Eva and the ladies remained patient until we found the right one. They carry samples sizes that don't only fit a size 0 like some other bridal salons, which makes EVERYONE feel special. I can't wait to get a dress for my next affair!

Wonderful People

Etty is amazing. I searched for months for my wedding dress and she took 1 look at me and found me my dream dress. I would say this place has amazing service, very efficient, great seamstress. The streamstress worked so hard on my dress and I received it back in a timely manner before my wedding. I am extremely glad I didn't make my decision based on a couple of bad experiences on this website. This place is very big. They have many wedding dresses as well as they also carry a wide mother of the bride/groom and bridesmaid selection, as well as shoes, and accessories bridesmaid dresses and their prices are much better than Manhattan..
I would recommend this vendor to anyone.

They are GREAT!

The bride-to-be wanted to look like a princess and Lestans listened. They matched the dress to the girl and her heart's desire...and the end result was perfection.
