This shop doesn’t even deserve one star. This is the one and only review where I will go into detail because people need to know what a horrible shop they are. It is the worse customer service I have ever experienced in my life. The quality of work that they provide is horrendous. Around October 2013 my family of 13 people got measured. We were told that all the clothes that they were going to make would be custom-made so it would end up taking half a year to make, so she said that the first fitting would be in March 2014. The woman told us that she would make all of our 6 custom-made dresses as well as the 7 men’s custom-made barongs. Then it was April 2014, one week before the event, and my dress isn’t even complete. The whole party had to go through at least 4 fittings because they didn’t alter anything the first time! We noticed on the men’s barongs they had size labels stating that it is small, medium, or large.(So obviously not custom-made) When I tried on my dress during each fitting there were no change in alterations. The one problem that I didn’t understand was that They had my measurements of my bust being a 34DD, but they had told me the reason why it is so small for me is because the bust on my dress was meant for B cups… She claimed that the difference in sizes were different in the Philippines. WELLWEAREN’T INTHEPHILIPPINESSOGETYOURSHITRIGHTANDCONVERTMEASUREMENTS. Plus it is supposed to be custom-made to ME so I am obviously not a B cup. THEREISSOMUCHOTHERTHINGSWRONGWITHTHISSTOREBUTTOADDEVERYTHINGUP… The quality in their products are horrible, nothing is really custom-made it is just ordered online then altered(so don’t believe their false advertisement), each fitting that we went to was at least 2 hours long, the store is ugly, they sell jewelry that has rust, area is not clean or safe(brother sat on a needle that was on the couch) BOTTOMLINE, JUSTSTAYAWAYFROMTHISHORRIBLESHITSTORE. Seriously just go to David’s Bridal or anywhere else but here. It will save you a lot of money and time.

Almost ruined my wedding few yrs ago. I originally went to order barongs but got talked into a wedding package. I gave them a yr in advance and every time I went to check up on them nothing was done. My brides maid dresses were done a couple months before my wedding and they were the wrong color(even though they had me pick from their swatches). My wedding dress was done a month before. I have a pretty laid back personality but four months into my wedding and having only half of the barongs done left me in a complete panic. The barongs were done nicely and quick but I would not recommend anything else. Now back to the wedding dress, it was a NOTHING like the dress I asked for(orig I gave a pic w designer, dress number and site) but got talked into a Custom gown. I never got a fitting so the dress was too short. It was wide and came up my ankles. The main thing I asked was that no frilly stuff anywhere nr my skin bc I have sensitive skin. I thought someone else’s dress was hanging in the dressing room bc it was sequins galore! Of course Nancy wasn’t there and the assistant was freaking out bc my face and upper body was welted once I got the dress on. I begged Nancy to make me a plain white satin dress(no frills) but she refused. She tried taking some sequins off but of course it left holes in the material. I can go on and on but long story short, I found a dress off the rack in a reputable place two weeks before my wedding(no alterations needed). This Nancy’s Fashion store changed it’s name but it’s still the same crap in their window. Unless u are related to her or know her, u get put on the back burner. Nice barongs but it’s really the only place I looked so who knows…

This is a nice little family owned Filipino formal shop located in the cut. You can find all of your wedding, prom, or formal needs. They have wedding dresses, tuxes, prom dresses, filipiniana dresses, and barong tagalogs. It is a small joint, so i do not recommend bringing large groups.
