Ok, I've never been the kinda of girl that dreams about her wedding every second of every day. I got engaged last August and I've been putting off the wedding planning for as long as I can. Well I put it off too long. I had no idea it took so much work and time to plan this stuff (silly me). So I've been walking into bridal salons after bridal salon with little to know help because my wedding is in three months. Terry Costa was so nice to me though. They didn't make me feel like I was pressured for time and the prices were perfect. Konnie was really nice to me and my family. They had an amazing gowns and they were able to answer all of my questions right on the spot. I didn't have to wait for a million annoying calls to get a simple answer. They really knew what they were talking about and I felt like I didnt' have to worry for the first time in this whole crazy mess. Thank you Terry Costa team. You're the best. Pros: Great Dresses, Awesome People, Good prices Cons: I didn't know about them sooner

I recently bought my wedding dress at Terry Costa and had a very good experience. My sister, who looked here for her wedding dress 4 years ago, came on the weekend during prom season, and was basically left to fend for herself. However, I chose to come on a weekday, about an hour after they opened, and the staff could not have been more helpful. I tried on dress after dress, but the staff (Leticia in particular) was patient and ready to help. Also, since I was bigger than all the sample sizes they had available to try on, she was more than willing to help clamp and pin the dresses together, so that I could get an accurate idea of what the dress would look like on me. When I finally decided on a dress, I discovered that a trunk show (with trunk show discounts) for that designer was supposed to start the next day - but Terry Costa went ahead and gave me the discount, so that I didn't have to make a trip back. While its true that if you go David's Bridal or Alfred Angelo you can try on a dress in your size, I would go back to Terry Costa in a heartbeat (where they only have the one size available) because I got such great service. I know its tough to take a day off work to go try on wedding dresses, but if you plan on going to Terry Costa, it is definitely worth it to go on a weekday!!

Thank you Terry Costa for once again taking me away from buying at Whatchamallit's. I have came to truly respect the nice people and kind service of your staff as well as the quality of your dresses. I walked away very pleased and even had the few touch ups that the dress needed completed while we ate lunch. Our dress was packed in a very nice garment bag unlike other places in the past. I have two more daughters and I fully intend to shop Terry Costa!! Thank for a great experience and for being kind to my wallet :-) Pros: Very nice staff who is very helpful. Cons: Somtimes the dresses aren't in the right size area so you may have to ask them to check their inventory.

I've been shopping with Terry Costa for about 10 years now. I got my first homecoming dress there and have been going there for all of my formal wear stuff ever since. The people have always been so nice and helpful. So when it came time for me to get married. i knew were to go, obviously. From the second I walked in the door there was someone there to greet me. Per-usual. They walked me through ever step and they didn't make me feel pressured to buy anything. So many other places in town had dirty samples and they were so pushy. Terry Costa made me feel really comfortable. I had brought so many people with me to look at gowns, I felt bad, but they were so nice to everyone. Anyways, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone. (side note: I've been recommending this place for a long time, nobody I've sent there has ever come away unhappy)

I went to visit Terry Costa recently to search for my wedding dress. I was determined to wear a specific Maggie Sottero dress but was opened to looking at other Maggie Sottero gowns. One of my best friends and bridesmaids was in town so I asked her to come with me. Immediately when I walked into Terry Costa no one paid me any attention. I walked around clueless for 10 minutes and finally someone walked up to me to ask if I have been helped. I told her no and that I was looking for a wedding gown. She said that a wedding consultant would be with me shortly. After being in the store for 15 minutes with still no service I went to the front desk to ask for a wedding consultant. I was told to ask for a specific person in the back so my best friend and I walked to the back (again). I finally found someone and politely asked if she worked there. She looked at me as if I was bothering her and she sighed and said yes. I asked for the name I was given and she went in the back to get the young lady. When the lady came up she was pleasant but definitely not helpful. I was told that my dress was not there. I asked about other Maggie Sottero dresses and she took me to a specific area to show me where the Maggie Sottero dresses were. Terry Costa carries only one size so unfortunately you cannot try the dress on to see if it looks well on you. She walked away to ask a little girl if she needed help and then walked away. My best friend and I looked at each other and walked out. I was offended because she was obviously younger than 13 and here I was holding a bridal planner book. My best friend is also getting married and told me that she received the same service when she visited Terry Costa when she lived in Dallas. I would not recommend this place because of how rude they were. I was lucky enough to find my dress that day with an EXTREMELY friendly company that m

Terry Costa is located at Preston and 635 in North Dallas. They are a bridal shop/special occasion dress shop. They also have everyday wear. I bought my wedding dress off the rack and on clearance. It was still about $750, which is a deal compared to most bridal shops. It had missing beads and didn't fit well. I was assured it could be re-beaded and altered to fit which was accurate. I was very impressed with the management. They treated me very well even though I bought my dress on clearance. I did end up buying my veil and shoes from them. Good customer service definitely pays. PROS: great prices, wonderful management CONS:

I've shopped Terry Costa for special occasions for 15 years. The store has an excellent bridal selection. While you will not get a fancy dressing room and fawning service, you will get attentive service and great prices on designer merchandise. The store is especially good for bridal or special occasion, teen pageantwear too. In addition, there are church type clothes and some casual selections. There are always clearance racks with really phenomenonal deals. I have purchased $300 dresses for as little as $25 before. PROS: Great prices, great selection, good service CONS: Dressing rooms are only semi-private

My sister has used this boutique for her weddings (both of them!) and the entire bridal party was treated very well. As a family member and the largest member of the bridesmaid brigade, I was concerned. My sister wanted me to be comfortable so she and I went to Terry Costa and she let me pick the dress. Faced with such a choice that could potentially alienate all the ex-cheerleaders that are my sister's dearest friends, I froze. Erica helped me. She reminded me to breathe and helped me find dress styles that would compliment my body type (round) and the rest of the bridesmaids (stick). She fetched dress after dress and we picked a style and color. Then the rest of the girls decided to put their two cents in. We were there for hours on three seperate Saturdays. When all was said and done - we went with my first choice. The entire staff was more gracious than I ever could have been. Erica even came in on one of her days off just to make sure everything was satisfactory. They have a plethora of designers and styles. The prices are in the high middle to the OH MY range. PROS: excellent staff and service CONS: a little pricey
