Editorial Review for Priscilla of Boston – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The prices at this wedding-prep landmark won't make potential spouses rethink the elope-to-Vegas option; the average dress price here is $2,500. But its coveted gowns are made to order; designed, hand-sewn and embroidered at the Priscilla factory in Charlestown. So go ahead and fall in love with a platinum sleeveless sheath--and then have it created for you in antique ivory with cap sleeves. Also look for bridesmaids' dresses from the likes of Waters & Waters, Jim Hjelm and Dessey.

With shabby looking dresses (which some of them made in China) they think of themselves as a high class store. Stupidity. Comically arrogant and lazy, they simply lack a basic sense of class and etiquette. The most terrible service I have gotten anywhere in the world. And I travel everywhere!!! In fact, there was no service. Stay away, save your time, energy, money, and good mood and get your dresses from some other places. I know why they charge in such sneaky way. They have no other skills to maintain their business, except sneaking in unspoken charges. For the money they charge, you can probably fly to Hong Kong, or Taiwan, or Eastern Europe (Prague or Budapest), get a vacation, and a dream dress with a meticulous service.

After reading numerous negative reviews of Priscillas, I felt inclined to write my own review. When I began searching for my wedding dress I made an appointment at Priscillas with very high hopes. Upon my initial entry into the store, I was greeted with smiles and congratulations. My sales associate, April, was welcoming, friendly, and endlessly helpful. After showing her the dresses that I had selected online, (and sadly realizing they were out of my price range), April found another dress for me to try on that she thought I might like. Well, it was perfect. She knew exactly what I wanted after only knowing me for a few minutes. The entire experience was all I could hope for out of wedding dress shopping, and all of the sales associates contributed to my wonderful day. I have not yet been through the alteration process yet, but I hope that they live up to my already high expectations.
Pros: Ambience, service, selection
Cons: Parking, cost
