LEFTY'S BRIDAL & BOUTIQUE — Local services in Suitland

Brides and Bridesmaids beware!!! I just returned from my honeymoon and couldn’t wait to get back to write this review. I just got married last month and a year ago started my wedding process of finding dresses for my bridesmaids. Nine month before the wedding I came to Lefty’s to look at the dresses for the girls and 2 weeks later the girls came to try on the samples she had in stock. We selected the dresses to order and took pictures to make sure the fit and quality matched what we ordered. She told us it was too soon to order to come back in February to take measurements and then order because the turn around time is only 3 months at the most. So we scheduled our appointment in early February, 30 minutes before the appointment she called and said she will not be there because she’s at the hospital with her daughter and her mom will be there instead to take the measurements. We understood and continued with our appointment. My bridesmaid and I felt she was taking the measurements too big but trust her professional opinion. Fast forward to the last week in June we get a call (4 months almost 5) the dresses were there and we can come try them on. The dresses were poorly made, very cheap, and definitely not the same material and structure of the dresses we tried on. She said her seamstress could fix the dresses and they will look better when she was done so she pinned every dress and we scheduled an appointment with the seamstress. Still trusting this so called “professional “. We met with the seamstress and she ensure us the dresses will be fixed. We are 1 week away from my wedding and I’m panicking so we pick up the dresses from the seamstress and they worse than before. I’m in tears because I trusted this lady to give us the same quality as she has in her showroom. My wedding party and I meet with lefty to try to resolve this issue since were too close to my wedding date. She offers no refund and makes excuses as to why the dresses came out the way the did. She disrespected some of my bridesmaids saying their weight and body shape makes the dresses look horrible and I told her the quality and material of the dress is from China and very poorly made. Her seamstress cussed me out it was a mess. We went back and forth for 1 hour with nothing resolved and her not accepting any responsibility in why my dresses are horribly made. We left and went to David’s Bridal and they had the same color dresses in different styles. They had all my girls sizes and they looked amazing just in time for my wedding day. If you want rude, unprofessional, china-made dresses, extremely late turn around time come here they will not...

I made an appointment with Lefty's on a Thursday and was able to be seen on Tuesday (did not want to come in on the weekend). You can only be seen by appointment only. Because I didn't come over the weekend, I went to 3 other stores with nice dresses but nothing in my 1st choice style and/or price range I was looking for. Lefty's has a book with all of the various types of gowns on the counter when you come in. I was hoping they would have something here because the designers they carry online had the style I preferred. After showing Lefty's oldest daughter the style I was looking for, she went and pulled 3 gowns for me to try. The 2nd one was exactly what I was looking for. After showing my sister and mother pictures of the dress online (no pictures allowed in the store) I went back for a 2nd fitting and ultimately said " yes to the dress.' Happy with the gown and the...

AMAZING experience!!!!!! The owner Lefty is phenomenal! I was so stressed looking for a wedding dress for my special day. She was extremely nice and beyond helpful. The dresses in her shop are gorgeous. I’ve been to David’s Bridal and another bridal shop but I hadn’t found that wow dress. I was honestly super stressed since I had been looking and hadn’t come across anything I loved yet. I’m going to the justice of the peace and having a big wedding later. I purchased my dress for the justice of the peace today from her and I’m beyond thrilled!!!!! Her bridal shop is beautiful, the dresses are beautiful, and she is super helpful in any questions you may have about alterations for your dress. If I could give more than 5 stars for this review I would! If your looking for a wedding dress I highly recommend Lefty’s Bridal & Boutique. I will be back to get my dress for the...
