Veronica and the Glamour closet team were the absolute best. I told Veronica I was going for a Carolyn Besette-Kennedy dress and she killed it with her recommendations! Veronica was super patient and I could tell she was invested in making sure I found the perfect dress.

Thank you Veronica for the huge help at Glamour Closet!! I came in on a Friday morning right at opening and my Mom and I were the first ones in the shop! My budget was 1,500 or less and they had plenty of selections of gowns, all different styles and silhouettes! Once I selected a few to try on, Veronica had also selected a gown from the back for me to try on. This gown she selected no-one had tried on yet and it fit me like a glove! I absolutely loved it and I was in shock how well it fit me and it was everything I was looking for! After that my heart was set and nothing else compared! Thank you again Glamour Closet for making my wedding gown dreams come true!! Your guys are the best!!!

Quick Summary: Great selection at a great price point (800-3k, avg 1-2k), terrific experience with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Highly recommend!
About the store: I came on a Saturday at opening time after hearing that there could be a wait. I was the first one there, followed by a couple others soon after. The store is organized by silhouette and style into 4 long racks. Half of a long rack is devoted to extended sizes and there's a rotating selection in the closets. All the dresses are in very good, if not new condition. Many dresses still have their original tags. The dressing room in the back has large wall mirrors and a pedestal. I was a little worried it might be hard to find things under my 1.5k budget, but there were plenty of options.
The experience: I really appreciate that they have no time limit, just a dress limit of 8. I was able to take my time to choose dresses while Sara, my wonderful stylist (and store manager) pulled suggestions for me that were so perfectly in line with the photos I showed her. She was super familiar with all the inventory, even remembering the sizes of many dresses! I got in and out of the dresses and Sara helped button me up and clip me in. She was super knowledgeable about fit, potential alterations, and offered really helpful opinions, such as how many sizes up I could shop for depending on silhouette, or if a dress just couldn't be altered in a certain way. She was also so friendly and patient! I found my dress at a great price and received a garment bag, as well as a couple alterations recommendations and a dress preservation recommendation.
I'm so glad I came! I can't say enough good things about Glamour Closet and Sara.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Danit T.San Francisco, CA106102Feb 22, 2024
I cannot recommend a visit to Glamour Closet enough! Veronica was beyond helpful with my fitting. Her years of experience and knowledge were a true gift to me, I learned a ton that has helped me through the wedding dress process! I also felt that she truly cared about me finding something I loved and it was just a pleasure to work with her. I appreciated her follow-up call to make sure everything was going well too. The dresses were beautiful and very well-priced for the quality. Don't wait to visit!

Just updating with pictures of my completed look. Still in love with my dress... wish I had a reason to wear it again.

I'm a 12-16 in regular clothes but a size 16-22 in wedding dresses. Glamour Closet SF had so many options my arms were going tired from moving the hangers. I had to try two of the 9 dresses on twice to finally decide.
Kelly was the perfect touch of amazing energy. She is so genuine and honest. We just instantly vibed. Her expert opinion was truly valuable and much appreciated. She was so patient and I could tell she wanted me to find my perfect dress too. She didn't push at all.
I seriously don't think you could find a better deal on a dress. If you want an amazing, practically new dress at a very discounted price and you don't have time to wait the typical designer 3-6 month waiting period you should go here.
I also love that they only accept walk-ins because that same day another bridal place cancelled my appointment because I was 15 minutes late. Honestly, I was so determined to buy that day so when I called and they told me I could walk in - I literally rerouted my Lyft from Oakland to SF. With my wedding being exactly 3 months away I have had some real anxiety lately. Now I feel so blessed that I didn't rush or buy before because I bought the most beautiful dress in the world 8/18/18 and I know in my heart that there is no other dress that I could possibly love this way.
I can not wait for my husband to see me in this dress! - K D.Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY02Mar 14, 2024
I had a very successful fitting at the Glamour Closet, on a weekday afternoon, with Veronica and Samatha. In particular, Veronica's patience, attention to my unique needs, and her knowledge of their inventory were exceptional. The dress I chose in the end was one that she selected for me, and I could not be happier. The vibe was calm and helpful, down to the extent of alterations that could be done to fine tune the fit. I would recommend the Glamour Closet for anyone looking for a wedding dress.

Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Feb 11, 2022Previous reviewI've been dress hunting for about 2 months, visited loads of bridal shops up and down the peninsula, and finally found the one here at Glamour Closet! I came in on a Thursday around 11:30am and despite one other bride, who came and left after about 45 mins, I basically had the entire shop to myself! I came in without much expectations and came out with a lot of bridal knowledge and a breathtakingly beautiful dress by Casablanca! Sara and Veronica are absolutely amazing!! They are truly the Fairy Godmothers, the Bride Whisperers. I came in never mentioning what my budget was nor did I mention what styles I wanted. I just asked Veronica to pull what she thought looked good on me, I love recommendations. Someway somehow, Veronica pulled dresses within my budget and really nailed down the style I like. And yes the gown I ended up purchasing was indeed a gown she pulled for me! After Sara finished up with the other bride, she came and helped me out too. These gals are soo amazing, they helped me for 4 hours!! Not once did I feel pressure to buy anything nor feel judged by them. I highly recommend this bridal boutique! Despite this place selling "sample gowns," don't be discouraged, everything is brand-new (never worn to a wedding and returned) all the gowns I tried on were very clean and in great condition. Veronica actually told me that their store only accept gowns that are in great condition. Even if you don't end up finding your dream gown here, these gals are sooo fun and knowledgeable to talk to; definitely worth stopping in for the great service. Overall, I had an excellent bridal experience! Thank you Veronica and Sara for helping me find my dream gown! You gals are so, so amazing!

This review is LONG overdue. I bought this dress back in 2019 but my husband and I had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. We finally had our wedding in July of this year!
I had bought my dress at Glamour Closet after visiting many wedding dress shops to figure out what silhouette and styles I liked. I'd highly recommend doing this first before doing a trip to Glamour Closet since this is a consignment dress shop and all sales are final. That way you have time to reflect and look back on photos of you in potential dresses before making this very big decision. You don't want to experience dress regret! I've had times when I thought I found the one in the dress shop but when I looked back on the photo, I decided there were certain parts of the dress I did not like.
Veronica was so incredibly helpful during the process and helping me to try on many dresses in the store. I came first thing in the morning at 10AM on a Saturday and the store was not busy. There was only one other customer in the morning. They gave a few clips where you clip the dresses you are interested in and then the store representative helps pulls those dresses for you and helps you into them to try on. The store is organized by size and you do want to make sure when shopping to stick within your size range as it will be a very hard for a tailor to adjust a dress that is either way too big or too small.
I am so grateful to have made my dream dress and veil all under my budget! I ended up picking out a dress that I had never seen or tried on before at other stores called Martin Thornburg for Mon Cheri Rena Dress (217217). I also ended up trying a cathedral veil while there that fit perfectly with the dress. The dress was $1100 and the veil was $300 plus tax.
I went out to lunch after visiting Glamour Closet and they did a courtesy hold on the dress and veil for 1 hour while I had time away to think about whether I wanted to proceed with the dress. I decided mid-way through lunch that this was the dress and I called back Glamour Closet saying that I would be coming back for it! I would also highly recommend to double check for any damages to your dress and/or veil before leaving the store as you will not be able to return them.
The shop also recommended a few tailors and I ended up seeing Marina at Le Caprice (in Cupertino). She did an amazing job tailoring my dress to fit at a good price.

I had such an amazing experience here last October! As soon as I got engaged I came in alone just for fun to try on some wedding dresses. Sara helped me all day, trying on dresses and recommending things for me to try. I ended up finding my dream dress I didn't even know I wanted! It was perfect for our venue and I felt so special in it. Sara also gave me a perfect veil to go with it and recommendations for alternations and cleaning.
5/5! Couldn't recommend glamour closet enough.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 22, 2022Previous reviewI went here several months ago right after getting engaged, just expecting to browse around and get an idea of what I liked. I ended up trying on the most amazing dresses at half their normal price and needless to say, I walked away with my dream dress! I believe Sarah helped me out, and she was wonderful. They recommended an amazing place to get alterations and cleaning afterwards as well. I get to wear my dress in just a month now and I couldn't be more excited.
