Lex has gorgeous, classic gowns. She is incredibly thorough during fittings and the alterations were immaculate. It's clear Lex genuinely cares about making each bride look her best and even offered to stay late for the wedding to help put the dress on properly.

She makes you pay up front. The dress she delivered was not at all what I expected (e.g., short, not long). She made a lame excuse that the fabric was not wide enough but yet she was going to turn it into a long dress. The long dress was totally butchered and I wound up getting my dress for my daughter's wedding else even though I had already paid her quite a lot of money. When I asked for a refund, she screamed and accused me of wanting my dress for free. DO NOT GO THERE. SHE'S EXTREMEL RUDE.

Lex Bridal is a great place to get your dress. Lex is easy to work with and she will help you find the perfect dress for you. There are tons of beautiful dresses there and she is very reasonable in price. Lex is very good at what she does. Visit her store!

My dress budget was not very big. I'm more a food and eating girl. I bought my dress at running of the brides and it was at least 2 sizes too big. My grandmother (retired dress maker) had told me what it would take to make the dress fit my body shape and to be on the lookout for anyone who told me different. For my April wedding, I first met with Lex in January and at that meeting everything that my grandmother said the dress would need is what Lex said. Fitting after fitting Lex made changes and recommendations to help my dress really stand out. The end product was amazing and fit my body the exact way that I wanted. At no point in the night was I the girl who was having to hike up the top of her strapless dress. Lex was awesome and well worth it!

Lex is an amazing designer. Her store is filled with other designer dresses but there are a few gems in there that are her own, and I was lucky enough to fall in love with one of them. Let her pick some dresses for you and you won't be disappointed. And the best part, is her alteration skills. She insisted I come in 4x before my wedding to ensure I looked my best, and I did. My dress was gorgeous and I thank Lex for making it happen.

Lex Bridal's was wonderful to me. Lex designs many of her own dresses and that was what I wanted, something original. I did not want something from a Magazine. I went to Lex Bridal and it was the dress in the window. I tried it on and love at first sight. The price was right too! I would absolutely recommend Lex Bridal Designs!

Lex has some very beautiful designs. I ended up having her alter my gown. I also purchased my veil and hairpiece from her. She does beautiful work but I believe her business is seriously lacking in some areas. She is understaffed. We had to go back to her several times after appointments because the dress was not finished when she said it would be. At one point my Mom went to pick up the dress and she brought out the wrong one. This was after she had been there three times the same day. Also, she altered my veil. When we got it home we discovered it was torn. She did replace the veil a week before the wedding, however. She did a good job, but my overall experience there prevents me from recommending her. She is a lovely person and I was disappointed because we would have brought her other alterations if she could just get organized.

I cannot say enough nice thing about Lex Bridal. Andrea listened to what my wedding was going to be like and how much I wanted to spend and picked out the most beautiful dress for me on the first try that came within my budget. They also did a great job on the alterations, even to go so far as to fix my corset because it didn't fit right and then even attached it with snaps to my dress so I didn't tug at my strapless dress all day long! They were so easy to work a with and anyone within driving distance to Annapolis should stop here to at least look.

Lex bridal worked with us over and over considering when we ordered the wedding dress it was size 22 but when I finally went in to get fitted I was a size 16. They totally remade my dress. The only problem we had is with the cost of alterations. We had agreed on a certain price and when they realized how much work they were going to need to do to the dress they changed the price by $250. We had a written contract, but they also had our dress. It was a "what do we do" situation. So we paid the additional $250, they finished the dress, and have given us discounts on cleaing and preservation, so the $250 is the discounts we have received.

I didn't end up buying my dress from Lex, but she did the alterations. My mom is a children's clothes maker (wedding dresses are a bit beyond her skills set) but she understands alterations and what's involved - and she was impressed by Lex's skill and professionalism. The cost is not minimal, but the quality of work is superb. They are also very timely and have things ready when they say they will be.
They also make their own flowers that can be worn in the hair. I was able to find one that perfectly matched my dress and it was very reasonably priced.
Excellent for alterations!

Worst place to buy your dress, would not recommend Lex Bridal at all. Lex the owner is not professional at all when dealing with new brides. All she is interested in is the money. Once you pay for the dress, the friendliness and service ends. I guess you do get what you pay for.

My daughter's wedding dress was one of Lex's original designs. My daughter wanted a "vintage" look dress and the minute she saw this one she new it was the one. Lex also designed a jacket to go with it that made the whole ensemble drop-dead gorgeous! While we received many compliments about many different aspects of the wedding, the great majority of them were about how beautiful her dress was. It was definitely a "show-stopper." Andrea is a dream to work with. Very patient and calm. She listens to you and helps you create the look you want for your wedding day. You receive a lot of individual attention which is exactly what any bride wants.

I was so happy when I found my dress at Lex. But my was dress was supposed to arrive on a certatin date and it did not. It was about a week late but Lex and her team made the alteration happen! Unfortunately the alterations fee were costly. Overall the experience was great but leave time for mishaps to occur.

I felt like a million bucks in my wedding dress. Lex and her staff took service to the next level. I had several dress fittings and each time a I left I felt even better about my dress and myself. They are so flexible and attentive to your needs. I immediately fell in love with a dress that Lex had designed herself, and from there we made the dress fit my body like a glove. Many guests complimented my dress and commented that the dress looked like it was custom made for me. Lex Bridal should be the first stop on any Annapolitan list of wedding boutiques. Great dresses, great prices, and great service.

I purchased an EXTREMELY intricate (and expensive!) gown from a woman in England and it arrived much later than expected. I was in a bind and needed alterations asap! My aunt had recommended Lex, so I called her, very nervous about the time constraints and if the alterations needed would even be doable. They met with me the very day I called and were very helpful and calming in my moment of panic :)
The dress was too tight across the bust and needed to actually have a bit of material added, which I know can be very difficult, particularly in this case since the dress was not designed with ANY extra material for letting it out. So not only would material need to be added, but a ton of beading had to be done for it match the rest of the bodice.
I cannot fully express it, but Andrea and Lex did an amazing job!!! I was so thrilled with their work! it was impeccable and they turned it around very quickly (I had it within a month, but if I had needed it faster, I am almost positive they could have done it).
I did pay quite a bit of money for these alterations, but I do believe that this is do to the extreme detail that my dress required and it was well worth it in my opinion! Also, other alteration shops may very well have charged a similar price, but I didn't really shop around...
Your wedding dress is such an important part of the day (at least to me it was!) and you can definitely trust it in the hands of these women! Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful. They catered to my every need. I went back many of times due to weight loss and they were always helpful. My dress was amazing and beautiful. The best part about it was I paid a flat rate. Never any alteration fees.
