Although I'm from New York, I heard of Sabrina Ann from relatives who live in Ardmore. I made a last-minute appointment to drop in when I was in town and found my dress that same day. It was the first place I looked, so I was very lucky. They have a great selection of dresses, their prices are fantastic and the woman who assisted me could not have been nicer or more patient. The dress I bought was by Modern Trousseau, and had been a sample, so it had never been worn before, but was essentially brand new and in great condition. It looked exquisite and I was saved the guilt and expense of ordering a costly dress from a bridal salon. I can't imagine why anyone would go anywhere else!

I went to Sabrina Ann's on a whim, and so glad I did! Its a small shop, but they have a lot of options. I was able to afford the perfect wedding dress, a dress I never could have afforded at a full price salon....

I found Sabrina Ann through a recommendation from our photographer (FYI: brides it does pay to at least checkout recommended vendors from one or two you have all ready selected). I scheduled an appointment for a Saturday afternoon, not anticipating that I would find anything. The boutique provides once worn or never worn dresses (and lots of other items too). I needed my dress to be at least a 12/14 to allow for any fluctuations in size. On that particular day, there was a small selection for these sizes, and I pulled a total of 2 dresses. One looked ok in the bag, nothing spectacular. However, once I put the dress on I knew it was THE one...no need to try on option number two :). The ladies were great to work with and quite knowledgable about alteration possibilities. Come to find out, the dress I tried on had just arrived two days prior to my appointment. I would definitely recommend Sabrina Ann when searching for the perfect dress.

Before going to Sabrina Ann's I think I visited every bridal salon in the tri-state area. I could never find anything that was "unique enough" that I was willing to pay for. Once visiting the store I was able to shop and pick out exactly what I wanted to try on and didn't have to worry about a sales person following me around. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed going to the other salons just to say I had that experience but it just wasn't my style. The people that did work there were very willing to help me if I needed it and gave me all the time I needed to make my decision (keeping in mind that if I left the store someone else could buy the dress). I was able to find a fabulous dress that was EXACTLY what I wanted. The price was almost $4000 LESS than the original price and it was a sample dress in great condition. The bottom was a little dingy but it needed to be hemmed anyway so it didn't matter. Since the dress was from 2009 (my wedding was in 2011) I knew the chances of my friends having the same dress was practically zero. I also found a veil that ended up matching all in one place. Overall, Sabrina Ann's was a great place to find a deal on a dress that would have been way out of my price range normally.

You wouldn't think a consignment shop would have such a good selection, but Sabrina had lots of dresses, and most of them were beautiful. They had a chair for my grandmother, so she could sit down while she critiqued my dress. They were very helpful in helping me find a dress that turned out to be not at all what I thought I wanted, but was gorgeous and totally me. i have no idea how much it was originally, but I got it for $475, plus $390 in alterations. I think the best recommendation was at the wedding, when everyone told me how "stunning" I looked, and then they asked where I got it. Everyone who asked was shocked when I told them I got my dress on consignment, at Sabrina Ann's in Ardmore - go there!

I had tried on about 40 wedding dresses, many of them very lovely, without getting the "wow" my married friends assured me I would experience when I found "my" dress, the perfect one for me. Finally, I found the dress, the *perfect* dress for me...but, the price was considerably out of budget. Luckily, my sister-in-law is a master of online research, and she found the same exact dress, in the same size and ivory color, at Sabrina Ann for less than half the price! I was very nervous about buying a dress online. To be honest, Sabrina was just as serious about *not* selling me a dress that I would not be happy with. She measured the dress in Pennsylvania while I borrowed a tape measure and took my measurements at my office in Texas. Sabrina gave me time to go back to the store to try on the dress again with my mom and to consult with a tailor about the possibility of making alterations. When we were both satisfied that everything would be right, I was able to complete the payment process online. I was relieved to see that I had 48 hours to decide to keep the dress or return it (minus shipping costs and return), which I thought was very fair.Sabrina had assured me that the dress was in perfect condition, and when it arrived (nicely packaged *with* a garment bag!), her assurances were confirmed completely. The dress is gorgeous and there's not a stain or tear anywhere on it. And, since another bride wore it once, it has already had the bustling added, saving me even more money.I found my experience with Sabrina Ann to be really wonderful; I am so happy to have the dress of my dreams at price I can afford, and Sabrina was really great! I would recommend her shop to anyone looking for a wedding dress at a more reasonable price.

I recently purchased a gown at Sabrina Ann. The whole experience was wonderful. I worked with the owner, who I found to be very nice and very informed. She knew her inventory and gave great suggestions. While yes there are some rules, like taking your shoes off in the fitting room, and not dragging the gowns, I completely understood. She was very nice about it, and her rules kept the gown that I ended up purchasing in flawless shape. Her entire staff made the experience enjoyable. My family and I had a blast and did not even think of going to look at anymore gowns after visiting Sabrina's. I cannot understand how anyone would have a bad experience! I have told all my friends and would recommend her to anyone needing a beautiful gown, prom dress, flower girls, mother of the bride, veils, or accessories. She has everything!! You have to go to Sabrina Ann if you want a designer gown without the designer price tag! Best Experience!

I would recommend Sabrina Ann to any bride-to-be without hesitation. I purchased my Lazaro wedding dress and later purchased a veil at Sabrina Ann. The shop is immaculately kept and provides a wide variety of options for brides. The staff is extremely helpful without applying any pressure. I lucked into finding a Lazaro gown at Sabrina Ann that another bride had purchased but never wore and paid 1/2 the original price. And the extra bonus? Since it was never worn, the dress was in pristine condition. Sabrina Ann is definitely worth a stop. Even if you have a dress already, the shop has plenty of hair accessories, veils, bridal shoes and bags for the bride who wants quality and style on her wedding day but doesn't want to pay top dollar for something she will only wear once.

I love the ladies that work at Sabrina Ann. I was looking for a dress that I saw at a trunk show and did a search for it and Sabrina Ann had it!!! I know some of you are thinking that you don't want a used wedding dress but some are from samples(as mines was). The dressed I purchased wasn't bad at cost. The sales associates were honest about how the dress looks on you from a person that doesn't know you. Try it you may find your dream dress.

This is the first place you should look when getting a dress. I found the MOST BEAUTIFUL dress ever. Every single guest, (even the men!) commented on it. And it cost under $1,500....

I tried on dresses here but ended up purchasing my gown elsewhere. I enjoyed working with Sabrina so much that I returned to purchase my shoes and beautiful freshwater pearl and crystal comb to use with my veil. She has a great selection of dresses and accessories and knows how to help you choose the right dress for what you are looking for.

Sabrina Ann's was really a great place...but something I was afraid to do at first. Originally I did not want to go to a consignment shop - I didn't want to wear something on my wedding day that had been worn before. However, when I really thought about it, it made so much sense. I bought my veil there for $99. I thought - why spend an arm and a leg on something that I'll only wear for 30 mins? I also got my flower girl dresses there - they would only be wearing those dresses for 1 occasion before they grew out of it. It saved money and their inventory is really stunning. Plus, a lot of the items are NEW and never worn.

I bought my wedding dress at Sabrina Ann's this week and couldn't be happier with the experience. I live in New York City and went to RK Bridal, Bridal Garden and the Kleinfeld's sample sale, and out of all of them, the best customer experience I had was at Sabrina Ann's in Ardmore. I also went to the Sample Rack in Philadelphia.Sabrina, the owner, is very accommodating. I called at 10:30 AM and made an appointment for 11:30 AM. Sabrina let me browse the racks without pressure, but also made suggestions for me. She even suggested the dress in the window, which I ultimately bought. There are dresses at a variety of price points. Although it's a small shop, Sabrina has a great selection, everything from Alfred Angelo to Vera Wang.I only give the value rating less then 5.0 because for my dress I paid $650, but the original price was only $900. I wasn't blow away with the discount on my particular dress, but the higher price dresses had marked discounts of 50% or more (based on the retail price listed on the tags). I was, however, very happy with my cathedral length veil that I purchased for $65. I saw similar veils for $150+ at other stores (including David's Bridal and online).A few points to note for potential shoppers: 1) all sales are final, 2) alterations are not done at the store, but Sabrina gave me a recommendation, and 3) since you purchase and carry out on the spot, I would suggest you having an idea of what you like (or not like) because the dress may not be there the next time you come. I should also note that a family member bought her dress there last year and was really happy with her experience as well. After trying on no less that 20+ dresses in other stores, I finally found THEE Dress at Sabrina's, and I would definitely recommend the shop to all brides!

He selection was amazing. There were so many great dresses to choose from and I was able to buy a designer dress there that I never would have been able to afford otherwise. It is possible to dream when you pay a discounted price. Also, when I put the dress on it already fit like a glove so that helped envision the dress too. So the cost of alterations was also minimal. She also has all the jewelry, purses, pins etc to go with the dresses. Veils and all. I strongly recommend Sabrina Annes and the owner is wonderful. She gives you as much advice as you want. Not too much and not too little.

We purchased my wedding dress and my Mother’s MOB dress at Sabrina Ann’s shop. There was a great selection made available to me in my size, and the staff helped me widen my search by figuring out what other sizes I would fit in with some alterations. After I picked my dress, they helped connect me with Nilah to make the necessary alterations to the dress. They helped me set up and alterations meeting with Nilah in their store to insure that the alterations I wanted could be done before I purchased the dress. The dress was a great price, and I was happy with the in store experience. My only complaint is that after I decided to purchase, I was trying to work out getting my Mom over there to pay for the dress and I received a message about going over and paying for it. I understood that we were getting towards the end of the hold period (which we paid a small fee for), but I just felt as though the tone of the message was a little firmer than I would have expected, and made me a little nervous that I might lose my dream dress.But they also had a great selection of vintage jewelry, accessories, and other dresses. The selection of MOB dresses was good, and my Mom’s dress was a steal at $100! I look forward to referring friends to this hidden jewel in Ardmore!

I worked with Sabrina and she was wonderful. Although I went in on a Saturday (I had an appt... you need one!) she made sure that I had my dressing room and was taken care of. I found the most amazing dress and it had only ever been worn in a fashion show ... so it was basically brand new! The only issue is that they are not open some days which made it difficult since I didn't live near by but it all worked out. I've told everyone to go get their dresses there ever since! I also got some vintage jewelry there and everyone complimented me on the unique pieces.

I bought a dress I hated and brought it to Sabrina Ann, where I left it for resale and bought another way more beautiful dress. The price on these gowns are amazing- I got anever worn $2000+ wedding dress for $750. I recommend them to everyone.

Sabrina Ann had a beautiful selection. It was the first store I visited and the last. I found a beautiful gown there, that I would have spent at least double on at a bridal salon. I also went back to get my veil. It was a wonderful, easy, affordable :) experience!
