Carmella assisted me today, I had no idea what I wanted, only knew what I did not want. Carmella was wonderful and pulled very flattering gowns. She was honest in speaking frankly about the good and bad for each dress. She is kind and patient and truly skilled at her job. I am so happy to have found the perfect dress but couldn’t have done it without her!!!

Riley went far beyond my expectations. As someone who is genderqueer/trans femme, I was worried about feeling accepted and didn’t know if I’d be able to try on anything in my size (12). Riley calmed my nerves and made me feel right at home. She couldn’t have been nicer. I feel like she understood my taste and tailored that with what she showed me. She knew what I was looking for without me having to explain too much. Can’t say enough about how much I valued that, as I can be pretty indecisive. I loved the selection of dresses and found one I am so obsessed with.

I had an amazing experience shopping for my wedding dress. My stylist Marnita was an expert and had an amazing personality to match. She made the whole process enjoyable and fun, all while making me feel comfortable. She actually picked out my wedding gown for me after trying on multiple dresses. If it wasn’t for her I would have never tried my dream dress on. I highly recommend coming here and have no complaints!

Got the best wedding consultant. Unfortunately, it's quite a bit long process and more additional charges, and I found my perfect dress in the different store. But I really had a beautiful, amazing experience at Claire's giving much appreciation with my wedding consultant. She's really the best.

Niqa was incredible. I felt comfortable, relaxed, and excited! I wasn’t rushed, nor was I pressed to say yes. Saying yes to the dress wasn’t my goal today, but her selections definitely made me feel like I could.

Debbie was amazing! I went to 6 different bridal shops, and tried on more dresses than I can count. I finally go to Claire’s Fashion and found my dream dress here! Debbie was so understanding and so nice! I kept going back to that dress every time I tried on a different dress. Debbie understood I had to think on it to be sure, and sure enough, I returned a week later and officially said yes! She was great to work with, I appreciated her kindness, and patience with me. I knew I was at the right place. I am so excited for my dress to get in!

I've been going to Claire's since my first daughter got married in 2018. My second daughter purchased her wedding dress about 8 months ago, and today I just purchased the mother of the bride dress!!! Carmela is a gem and knows her job well. All the dresses she picked for me to try on were spot on, and I was able to say Yes! to the dress.

My experience selecting a Mother of the Bride gown at Claire’s far exceeded my expectations! Having recently moved from New York to Delaware, I had no knowledge of Bridal shops in the area. I noticed the advertisement on i95 for Claire’s Fashions and figured I’d check it out. ( I have never before followed up on an ad off the highway so I was highly skeptical…lol). The website was legit and offered a nice selection of gowns so
I made an appointment. Claire’s offers a wide range of gown styles and designers but the very best part of my experience was working with the upbeat, knowledgeable consultant…Julia! Julia patiently listened to me to understand the style I wanted to portray at my daughter’s wedding. She provided honest feedback and helpful insights! Julia is a rockstar!!! I would definitely recommend Claire’s for quality of service and breadth of selection.

Katie was very helpful in helping me find a last minute formal gown. I remembered Katie from when she helped me find a Mother of the Bride gown last year. She is professional and certainly has a good eye for what helps clients look their best.

10 out of 10 service. This was my first stop and first time trying on dresses. I didn’t know what I wanted. Riley was so helpful and listened to what i liked. I ended up falling for a dress that I would have never picked out. Riley was patient, friendly and really made this process as easy as possible. Got my mom and MOH crying so I know I had a winner.

Kristen at Claire's helped me along my journey to find MY wedding dress. She went above and beyond expectations for both of my appointments. Her talent to patiently listen and filter through my indecisiveness and evolving taste to come up with so many of my favorite elements in a custom dress order (modifying a dress I tried on) has me very excited to see it all together. Thank you very much Kristen!

Wonderful experience. Most of my friends have gone with Claire’s so I knew where I wanted to find my dress. As always they took amazing care of us - we were having a great time laughing and picking through the huge selection. Riley took great care and listened to everything I was saying. She chose fantastic options and was a delight.

Claire's is a must if you are looking for your wedding dress! They have a variety of dresses and well appointed staff. My consultant, Christina, was very helpful throughout the entire appointment. She took extra care to understand what exactly I was looking for, while keeping a professional and fun atmosphere!

I had a great experience today. I found my “mother of the groom” dress. This was the 4th shop. All the other shops had the same dresses. I was looking for something a bit different and in a shade of green. Your shop had a huge selection which I didn’t find in the other shops. Christina was wonderful and put me right at ease and was so very helpful and I felt no pressure. Left the shop with the perfect dress! Can’t wait to wear it.

I found a beautiful mother-of-the-bride gown and I am so happy. Toni was fantastic. She listened to us and partnered with my daughter to selected several gowns. She really took care of us and personalized the service to help me find the perfect dress.
The custom order came in exactly when she said it would. Thanks for the outstanding customer service and contributing to this very special day.

I happened to find Claire’s Fashions while searching for local boutiques for a mother of the bride gown. I was able to get an appointment sooner than I thought. I did not expect to find a gown that I loved but I did. It was the one gown I was not sure I would like. Alex was very helpful and the experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was cozy, warm, and friendly. There were suggestions for earrings and shoes to pair with the gown. This proves that good things come in small packages. I would recommend visiting Claire’s if you want to get away from the retail chains and have a personalized experience.

On 8/9 I called Claire’s Fashions in a desperate need to find a gown for my son wedding a week later on 8/17 after it was destroyed by altercations at another bridal shop I had purchased it at . I explained the situation to the women on the phone at Claire’s and she told be to come right in and they would help me find a new dress. They asked me to show a picture of my damaged dress so they could get an ideas of style . Christina and Shannon were amazing and pulled a bunch of dresses for me to try on . With all there hard work, kindness and professionalism they found me a dress. It wasn’t the same slate blue I had , but they found me a sea glass blue similar style that made me very happy. I wasn’t crazy about a cap sleeve and they even went above and beyond to consult someone else in the bridal shop to see if a seamstress could remove the cap sleeve. The answer was yes . I greatly appreciated how thoughtful, compassionate extremely kind and amazingly helpful these young ladies were ! I wish I had gone to Claire’s Fashion's first and not the Bridal shop I purchased my original dress from to which they destroyed and were unkind and could careless . Christina and Shannon made what was a horrible situation into an amazing situation. I came in Claire’s with tears and left with a smile and happiness. They even directed me to a place to by undergarments in the area that was appropriate for my new dress . My advice is make Claire’s Faahions you first place to shop for formal gowns . I can guarantee with there professionalism, amazing kindness and beautiful gowns you will leave very happy!! I can’t thank Shannon and Christina enough for all your amazing help and for making a horrendous and heartbreaking situation into an amazing situation!! Ladies make this place your first stop, Claire’s Faahions won’t disappoint!! Thank you , thank you and thank you again Christina and Shannon!!!

Katie was SUPER helpful! It was my first time trying on dresses and she was able to give me multiple different styles, while also narrowing down what I liked. She made me feel comfortable and understood. The actual feel of the bridal suite was perfect and the additional lighting changes gave me a really good understanding of how each dress would look on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Claire’s Fashions to a friend looking for any formal dress!

This was the second time trying on wedding dresses and couldn't be happier with the experience at Claire's. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Christina, our stylist, was knowledgeable and asked me plenty of questions to figure out the styles she should pull. She honestly pulled so many good options we had trouble picking just one. She made me feel comfortable and able to voice my opinions. Eventually we were able to find the perfect dress and have my "she said yes" moment. I can't recommend this place enough.

Christina did a really good job helping me find a wedding gown that suits me. She gave me different options and listened attentively on what I like. She also paid attention on how I reacted on each gown that I tried on which helps a lot as this is something I am not aware of.

Let me start by saying I have been dreading the wedding dress shopping process. As someone who is plus size and self conscious, wedding dress shopping is not something I was looking forward to (or shall i say, i was dreading). My experience at Claire's was fantastic. Shannon was my consultant and I can't say enough positive words about her. She made me feel comfortable and completely understood what I was looking for in a dress; i didnt feel self conscious around her at all. She had great recommendations when it came to sleeve ideas or veils or other dresses I hadn't considered.
In terms of the experience at Claire's, they had a wide range of plus size gowns and were very attentive in pinning them to show you what the dress would look like. They also had lots of ideas in terms of creating sleeves or reducing some of the poofiness of the big dresses. The wedding suite was nice and air conditioned (no one told me how hot trying on dresses would be!). I also appreciated being able to pick out styles ahead of the appointment to make my in person appointment as productive as possible!
Anyways, thanks for helping someone who was dreading this process. It wasn't so bad after all 😊

This was my third time at Claire’s, both my daughters bought prom dresses There in the past, and I have now purchased my mother the bride dress. You have top-notch sales people, and an excellent selection of dresses. I would highly recommend to any friend of mine to visit your shop.
