I will admit, I was very nervous going into the appointment. I had never tried a wedding dress on before and heard mixed reviews about Kleinfeld but I thought it would be a fun experience regardless.
I brought my mother, my sister and my best friend who is a fashion designer and is in the bridal industry.

The store was massive, stunning, and crowded. We saw Dianne walk out, and we hoped she would be my consultant. Lucky me, she was! She called my name and brought us back to the open room with all of the mirrors. I had printed photos of a few dresses and told her a broad idea of what I liked. We left my family and she brought me back to look at a variety of dresses to get a feel of what my taste was. We pulled some right off the rack, and she also brought out the dresses I had in my photos.

Their collection is impressive. Any designer I named, they had. As I tried on my first dress, she brought my family back into the private room that "Say Yes to the Dress" is filmed in. The dresses I thought I would like, I didn't like on my body. The forth dress I tried on, a Pnina Tornai, was the winner. Everyone agreed.

I couldn't believe I found a dress with such ease at Kleinfeld, walking in not knowing what I wanted and just wanting to try on anything and everything. Dianne gave us a lovely experience. I didn't feel rushed, she didn't pull dresses out of my range, and gave myself and my family a wonderful experience. Pnina Tornai was there that day, asked me if I said yes to the dress for my family to video on their phones, and did my measurements herself.

I would recommend any bride-to-be living int he New York Metropolitan area to make an appointment at Kleinfeld. Contrary to popular belief, they have lower priced dresses within their extensive collection. It's just a fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience overall.
