Wow! Joans dresses are truly amazing. To be honest, I did not have a clear vision for what to expect with my wedding dress. Joan showed me one romantic, lace dress and a more sleek, modern dress. Both were LOVELY but I went with the modern dress. It was a tad bit out of my price range. She worked with me on ways to make the dress a bit less expensive. The dress took a bit longer to ship than I expected, but overall I am so happy with how it turned out. My wedding is in October, so I will post photos afterwards!
The day I met Joan at her showroom, I knew I wanted to work with her on creating my wedding dress. Her bright energy and beautiful showroom made me feel so excited about the process. Her knowledge and understanding of fabrics, her impeccable taste, along with her understanding of the dress I wanted to create, gave me confidence that the dress would be realized and fit perfectly for me.For any bride seeking the best quality of design, fabric, and overall experience of selecting the gown.. I highly recommend visiting Joan Gilbert.
After trying on so many dresses at various shops and always being disappointed, finding Joan and her collection was a dream! The quality of her dresses is superb. Joan worked with me to customize the dress so it was exactly what I wanted, and because of her extensive experience, she was able to guide me along the process. My dress was perfect and I will be sending my friends her way when they are looking for a wedding dress!
Joan is amazing! I spent countless hours looking online at wedding dresses and disliked most of them. When I stumbled upon Joan’s site, I loved the timeless classy European dresses she carried. These dresses are a work of art!My first visit with Joan was a great experience. It’s an extremely individualized process. She let me bring my mom and best friend. The first dress Joan held up to me was the one. She gave me a veil and bouquet to put together the full effect. My mom and best friend cried.You have to trust the process because very likely the dress will not be the right size to put on. The measurements are so precise and the dress fit me perfectly.My experience was especially memorable because of Covid. The manufacturing process in Italy shut down right when the material was cut for my dress. I had several months of not knowing what was going to happen. Joan was in communication with me every step of the way and also assisted with slight alterations.I have a young cousin asking to borrow my dress already. These are dresses that will never go out of style.
Joan was accommodating, open and most importantly honest with us. It was a last minute trip to SF as we are not from the area. She fit us into her schedule and we are so glad she did! We will be purchasing my daughters gorgeous wedding gown from her today. Thank you, Joan! Outstanding service along with the most beautiful gowns.
