fabulous! – I loved my dress, and got great service. Even help with my own jewellery and ideas for accessories. The person I worked with (Mandy or Mindy?) was so enthusiastic about my dress and was happy to help me on the several occasions I came in both for fittings and when I just wanted to try the dress on again.

Beautiful dress and nice service – Such nice ladies work here, and the service was better than expected. I was on a tight budget, and made a beeline to the clearance rack to find some good deals. I bought a top and a skirt for almost half their original price. I ended up buying my shoes at this shop too. No one tried to sell me anything I didn't need, and I always got a fitting room and someone to help me in a very timely manner, even though I was a cheapo. The store itself is very cozy; you're not on display in a huge and b... read more

Don't waste your time, money, nor energy – DON'T BOTHER TO GO IN SINCE YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY SERVICE!!! I walked into the store and there were hardly any customers. I perused through their selection and was slightly surprised that not a single employee had said a word to me after a minute or so. I continued to walk around the store and started to look through a rack. One of the employees came to my rack and was rearranging some dresses and saw what I looking at the dresses. And to my dismay, she still did not say a word. ... read more

Fabulous – I had a fabulous experience at Cicada - I came in wanting a splendid wedding dress, something a bit hard to find considering I was pregnant at the time! Elizabeth Klobe worked one-on-one with me, choosing the perfect fabric and design. My dress was gorgeous and done perfectly on time. I also loved the uniqueness of everything - my dress, the accessories, everything. I felt like the most beautiful bride I could be - uniquely myself and gorgeous. I'd like to get married again and again just so I can pick out more go... read more

A breath of fresh air – I put my wedding together very spur of the moment. I was looking for a unique dress to fit the unique day. Working with Elizabeth, Jen and the rest of the staff made me feel very relaxed.... about everything. I had My dress, jacket, and shoes in just a few weeks, with no upsets. After talking to other friends that recently got married, I had it easy. THANK YOU CICADA!!!

Elegant & Unique – I loved all of the clothes in the botique. They have formal wear and dressier cocktail length clothes. The prices were high but if you can catch a sale it will be worth it. The fabrics are all very nice and expensive to the touch. The customer service is very poor. The sales staff didn't acknowledge me upon entering the store. The sales staff kept chatting amongst themselves about their weekend. On my scheduled pick-up date, the dress wasn't ready and they didn't even bother to call to let me know it wasn'... read more

Easy! – The fabulous dressmakers at Cicada made my custom wedding dress. As a second-time bride, I wanted something more understated, and Cicada made it happen. It was fast, friendly and inexpensive. I highly recommend them.

absolutely fabulous! – Charming store with very down-to-earth staff. They could be snooty but they're not. Everyone had clever suggestions and they worked to accommodate my schedule. Great selection of delicious fabrics and styles which are both funky and classic. I had a wonderful experience.
