Dmitra's was awesome. I thought it would be too expensive since it's located on Rush, but they carry a wide variety of price points. I found the perfect dress with the help of Marcia. They often have trunk sales so keep an eye out for those. I really loved the Pronovias and San Patrick lines. Thanks Dmitra's!

Prior to my visit to Dimitras, I thought that I I found "the dress" but I wanted to go to Dimitras before making my final decision. When I made my appointment, they asked me about my budget and asked me to bring in photos of dresses that I liked. This was fantastic because when I walked in for my appointment, I didn't have to have the awkward conversation about budget - I just handed over the pictures and within 5 minutes the dressing room was filled with 7 or 8 dresses. I didn't fit in all of the sample dresses, but the people at the salon made me feel totally comfortable and were able to pin the dress on me in a way that I'd get an idea of what they would look like. One of the dresses I tried on was nice and I decided to bring my maid of honor back to see it before making a final decision.The next time I went to Dimitras (about a week later), not only did I try on the dress that I liked, but they brought out several different dresses that they thought would look good on me - one of which was different than I ever thought I'd want. I put it on, looked in the mirror and could not believe how amazing I looked. Dimitras was the only place that I went to that paid attention to my body and style and weren't afraid to make suggestions. I knew that it was THE dress and I placed my order. Even better - the dress was on the lower end of my budget! When I expressed concern that I might be tugging on the top of the dress all night, they suggested adding removable cap sleeves that look amazing. They are by far the nicest people I met throughout the bridal dress search. I highly recommend visiting Dimitras!

Dimitra's was great! Everyone was so nice and despite its Gold Coast location, they were understanding that everyone has a budget. They very happily helped me find dresses that met my budget and I found the one. They're style is more European and every time I went in, the dresses on display were stunning. They were also very accommodating and had no problem with me stopping by when my mother in law was in town and wanted to see it. Very friendly people!

LOVED my dress and the service provided at Dimitra's. I went down 2-3 sizes between buying my dress and going in for alterations and my dress had a very intricate lace pattern design and train. They altered it to fit PERFECTLY in record time and altered the train to be just the lace pattern without the lining which looked amazing! They were also just always a lot of fun and so helpful when I went in for fittings. Highly recommend!

The ladies at Dimitra's bridal are wonderful. This family-owned bridal salon does a fantastic job of making you feel comfortable and letting you experience wedding dress shopping the way it should be - fun!Ismini and all of the girls were so patient throughout the entire process, even going so far as to contact a designer directly for a veil due to a last minute change the week before my wedding. It was there in only a few days.I went to many different bridal salons and couldn't have been happier with the dress that I ended up with. Their tailoring was flawless - the dress fit perfectly! And ultimately, the most important thing about making a dress standout, is whether or not you have a perfect fit.

Fabulous!!!!!!!! This is the experience every bride should have when shopping for a wedding dress. They treat you like a queen whether you are spending 1 or 10,000 dollars in their store. Everyone is so nice and excited for you. Words can't describe what a great experience I had there.

I cannot say enough good things about Dimitra's. They welcome you with a hug and make you feel special. It is the type of place that you just cant help to smile. I had been to other stores where I felt rushed, and constantly reminded of my time slot. Dimitra's can be packed but they never once make you feel like you need to leave, they simply find more room!. I am also a size 10 which in some stores was bigger then the samples. I had stores tell me to simply envision. We all know this does not work! Dimitras seemed to have bigger samples and more will power to get the dress on you even if the seems pulled a little. I ended up getting the second dress I tried on. The real fun came when I took my bridesmaids in. They allowed 5 girls to try on almost every dress and have a fashion show. It was so much fun! When looking for a veil and jewelry they didnt for once second pressure me to buy from them ( I was shocked by this) They knew what my budget was for accessories and even made recommendations where I could find in my price range! Don't waste your time going to other stores!

This place is WONDERFUL! The ladies that work there are incredibly professional and good at what they do! They will find the perfect dress and make you look great! I was only in time for a brief time and we were able to find a dress and schedule a fitting. We also bought all of our bridesmaid dresses there, too, because it was pretty reasonably priced.

Dimitra's has an absolutely gorgeous selection of dresses. I was surprised (given the location and the poshness of the shop) that so many dresses were in my price range (under $2000). I ended up purchasing a floor sample of a discontinued Ines DiSanto gown. The staff cleaned it and provided top-notch alterations. It fit like a glove and I felt like a million bucks!

The dress selection was excellent and the dress arrived well before the date. However, alteration costs were ridiculously high. We were told to order a larger size dress, we think, because alterations are where they make their profit. $600 for alterations!! Other places charge about $200. Ask for alteration prices ahead of time and don't fall into the trap of ordering a larger size dress. Also, the fasteners for the train were visible through the dress (bright colored thread) and was so complicated that we were unable to bustle it at the reception.

Dimitra's has beautiful wedding gowns, but very expensive. I bought my wedding gown there, they offered me the sample dress with a slight discount. Staff is not very friendly, a bit cold. The alterations are very expensive, wanted to charge me $750! And said it would be a lot of work, I took the dress somewhere else. If you have a specific designer in mind, find it at a different bridal boutique. The staff is somewhat helpful and friendly up until you buy the dress, after that they could care less.
