Misora Bridal Boutique

Misora was recommended to me as the place to go for a wedding gown and they did not disappoint!
I let them know upfront my budget constraints ($ 1000 and under) as well as time-I’m from Houston, but am in the military and work in Georgia. I was in town to tie up some wedding odds and ends as well as secure a dress.
First, the online booking is extremely easy and my consultant Rio called me to confirm. Very professional. Shopping was a delight, they are decent sized and had a great selection for sample sale. I happen to fit extremely well into sample sizes hehe! (6 – 8) Rio understood my style and helped me to figure out the details of what I liked. In buying a sample dress with budget concerns, she was very helpful about what dress would need the most alterations and cost more or less. She even put some jewelry on me to help me see the final look!
I’m a very happy bride and will recommend this to everyone!

I got married back in 2014, and I still felt like I needed to write this review.
Dress shopping was easy. My consultant was nice and let me try on as many dresses as I wanted as much as I wanted. I picked my dress, and it arrived as expected. That part was satisfactory. Then, this happened…
Two months before the wedding, I decided that I needed to start getting my alterations done. Not knowing of any other seamstress, I went with the one RECOMMENDED by Misora Bridal, where I purchased my dress. I assumed that they would not recommend anybody who was unskilled or unprofessional. Sew Hoang was the name. I lost some weight, so I needed her to take my dress in and hem the bottom to be floor length.
After several fittings and text messages, we were at our second «final» fitting. I told her I wanted my dress to look like how I bought it except fitted for me. There was ruching that needed to be in the front of the dress that she completely took out. She said there wasn’t enough fabric for that. At that time, I felt defeated. She asked if I liked it, and I literally said, «well, if there’s not enough fabric, I guess there’s nothing we can do. .. I guess so.» I also told her I wanted the bustle to be floor length and not dragging on the floor. She said she was going to try. Later, when I thought about the front ruching on my way to work, I texted her explaining that I didn’t understand why there would not be enough fabric since she previously said she did not cut the lace. I told her that all I wanted was for it to look like how it did before. I sent her the original picture several times. With no response, I tried to say as politely as possible that if she didn’t think it was possible, then maybe I could take it home and try it myself. Then, I received a phone call from her, where she accosted me, asking what happened between that past Sunday & that day because she said I liked it. (Again, note what I said above. You can tell I wasn’t happy with it or «liked» it.) I explained to her my thought process regarding the lace and how she mentioned that there wasn’t enough fabric, which is why I gave up on the idea at that time, but later thought about it and realized it didn’t make sense if she didn’t cut the lace, which was the reason why I texted her that day. She yelled at me and said she never said that. Side note: my sister came with me to every fitting, and she clearly remembers this woman saying there wasn’t enough. After denying her words, she screamed, «I HAVE NEVER HAD A CUSTOMER WHO COMPLAINED SO MUCH!» At that point, I was done with her. I asked to have my dress back. She responded, «NO, THAT IS MY RULE. YOU CANNOT HAVE THE DRESS BACK UNTIL IT IS DONE.» I asked again to have my dress back. She said she was too busy to deal with this. Again, I asked if I could just have my dress back. She just said yeah in a manner that reminded me of a teenager who wanted to end an argument with a parent. Essentially, she was saying anything to try to get off the phone with me. I told her that my asking for my dress was a question, not a statement. She said yeah abruptly and hung up on me.
I was shocked that someone I PAID would talk to me in such a way and made it seem like she was going to keep my dress hostage. Because of this, I was stressed out for the first time during the entire wedding planning process. Since she still had my dress, I was afraid of her maliciously ruining my dress, so I texted her saying there must have been a misunderstanding and that all I wanted was for my dress to look like it did when I bought it. If she could do it, then that would be great. I did not get a response. Several days later, I asked her when we were going to meet. Thankfully, she responded at that point. The following Sunday, we were scheduled to meet to discuss my dress, but I had plans of just walking out with my dress, as her original reaction was to not let me have it back yet. Assuming she didn’t want to cause a scene, she ended up giving me back my dress through the bridal consultant. I was fortunate enough to not even see her face. I asked the consultant if it was how I left it last, and she said yes. Subsequently, I asked to try it on to make sure she didn’t mess anything up. When I did, the consultant came in the dressing room and tried to talk my dress up. I explained to her that I was not satisfied and gave her a quick recap about what happened with the seamstress that her store recommended. She acted like she had no idea. Whether she knew about it or not, I told her I was going to write a poor review about Sew Hoang.
TL:DR — Sew Hoang is the ONLY reason why I was stressed out about my wedding. Do NOT go to her. She was horrible. I took my dress to another woman named Mona, who was horrified by what she did to my dress. It took her 3 hrs just to undo everything Sew Hoang did. Go to Mona at Chic & Elegance at 832−433−9111.
Misora dresses were great.

I walked in without an appointment and was lucky enough to have Anna be able to fit me into her schedule. She was so friendly and sweet and made me feel comfortable from the start. The second dress I tried on was the one. From the second she started lacing up the back, I knew. My mom and I started crying and Anna gushed over how beautiful I looked. She helped me try on a few more dresses but nothing compared to that dress. She was so helpful with helping me try on different veils and accessories. We walked away with a gorgeous dress and I felt like Anna was genuinely happy about helping me find my dream wedding dress. Very glad I stumbled into this little shop and I would definitely recommend them to any bride stressing over finding they’re dream dress!

I went in for a dress fitting about 4 months ago and I found my dream dress. This was the only place I went to and I found the dress of my dreams! This place is really reasonable in pricing I must say because i did call different places to get price quotes on my dream dress and this was the cheapest. Karen helped me at the time and so did Anna they are the best!

Jeannie was awesome! I was late to start looking for a dress but she was understanding and helpful. Other boutiques (weddings by Debbie) were condescending. She even stayed late past closing time to give me time to look. Highly recommend this shop!

So I had an appointment for both my bridesmaid dress and bridal gown search. There was a variety of bridesmaids gowns to choose from that came in all sorts of colors and styles if needed. We finished the BM dress search early and Anna was kind enough to let us start looking through wedding gowns earlier than appointed time. Many of the dresses were beauuuuuuutiful! Unlike other boutiques where there were only a few dresses that felt worthy of trying on, Misora had many pretty dresses to choose from. Made my search hard especially because I was not really picky about what I wanted for my dress! But I was able to find THE dress after all :) Anna was so helpful and able to answer all my questions. Very easy to talk to and I think it’s important to have a consultant that you feel is actually helping you. I am not in shape and have huge hips so it was difficult trying to fit in many of the sample dresses. But Anna was not judgmental about it which is also important considering I had a horrible experience at the first location I went to when I started my bridal gown search. So far my experience with Misora has been great!

I’m glad that I went! There was a fair selection of gowns that catered to various price ranges. I just wasn’t lucky enough to find «the one» here. I did wish that there was more of a selection for me to choose from.

I said «yes to the dress» !!! Misora bridal boutique has high end bridal dresses. I had the pleasure of having Rio as my bridal consultant. To say the least she was a breath of fresh air, her eye for picking the perfect dress for me was phenomenal. It was the dress that she picked for me, that I chose as my dress.
My overall experience was amazing. A client along with her entourage felt the salon should have been all to themselves, Rio quickly and professionally kept my appointment separate, chic and classy. I strongly suggest if you are a bride and you want the best of the best, make an appointment to go to Misora bridal boutique (on a Sunday).
Thank god I said yes to the dress and Rio is the best!!!

Loved this place! You’ve gotta visit this place if your looking for a dress. Anna was so helpful and knowledgeable. She helped me sort through my thoughts while trying on dresses and really helped me stay on track mentally. Picked through the dresses myself versus Alfred Angelo (they bring you dresses) and I enjoyed every moment. I found two dresses that I love and now I just need to bring my maid and matron back to help me decide on one. Only downside (for me) is that they don’t specialize in alterations, which is what I was hoping for. Not really a downside as they have referrals for alterations.

Not the fanciest store but a whole lot of selection… From the 4 bridal shops we went to today, this one has the most variety!

Small but kick-​ass selection. My only complaint would be that many of the sample dresses are too small for an averGe body type to try on. If they had bigger sizes so
They could just do the clips it would allow a bigger variety for the mass majority to choose from. I did however find a beautiful dress there today that may just be myyy dress! The workers were also very friendly and I would recommend their expertise to anyone, just from my quick explanation, she brought me one dress that ended up being amazing and completely rejuvenated my confidence in wedding dress shopping.

A very lovely wedding dress shop that also has hair & make up services from Blush and Co. I’ve gone shopping here for my sisters wedding dress back in 2012 and again in 2014 for myself. So I’ve been around this store a few trips and experienced their service a multiple of times.
The boutique is small and quaint. A variety of beautiful wedding dress for the bride, bridesmaid, and other female participants. I love their attentive service and wonderful incentives that come from purchasing your dress from them.
Both my sister and I got our wedding dresses from them and our bridesmaid dresses. Because we got our wedding dress there, they provide a discount on the bridesmaids dresses. They really do try to make it hassle free as much as they can throughout the process because as a bride, you have a lot to deal with. I like that they kept me up to date with the order when my dress would be in and a selection of seamstresses to pick from for alterations. Chi Mai is highly recommended as a seamstress. She is passionate on her work and very honest.
The only mistake that was made was I requested zippers for my wedding dress but it came with the corset tie but it’s okay. I also booked Blush and Co for my wedding day for the hair and make up.
They also offer wedding dress preservation services.
Jeannie and the team are very knowledgeable and give great insight on selecting a dress by asking questions I wouldn’t have asked myself. In conclusion, I said yes to my dress at misora. Hopefully you do too!

After having an awful experience at another bridal store and walking out 20 minutes after the appointment began, I arrived almost an hour before my scheduled appointment with Misora. They were accommodating and pleased to have me start early. I believe my consultant was Anna but for the life of me cannot remember for sure. The employee name on my receipt says «Sagrario». Please forgive me! She was the 4^th consultant I’d met in 2 days.
She was soooo nice and sweet and called me two days before and chatted with me a bit about what I was looking for and confirmed they had a certain dress I saw online. I really liked this. No other shop did this. When I arrived she was sure to grab the dress we chatted about on the phone and showed me others she thought I may like. She also allowed my friends and I to pick out some other ones before we headed to the fitting room.
I really loved the fitting room set up here. They have big private rooms with a curtain that divides the space so you can change on one side and your guests can sit on the sofa on the other side. It made it feel very intimate and special.
I was basically naked the whole time but after 3 other appointments I was no longer modest but «Anna» made me feel very comfortable and laughed along with me and crazy friends. She pinched me once with a clip and I’m pretty sure it hurt her more than me. She was so sorry and sincere and it was adorable. No harm no foul! She was great at clipping and I appreciated her trying hard to get the dress to fit perfectly so I could really see them.
I did end up finding «the dress» here and it wasn’t one I had originally even thought about. It is so unique and just perfect. This place has a much bigger selection of unique colors and styles that other places didn’t. I was looking for a champagne colored dress and I had a lot to choose from here. They have a lot of Essence of Australia and Maggie Sottero.
The thing that impressed me most here was how thorough they were in measuring me for the dress. I had to be bra less while they measured which was a bit personal but I understood. They were completely professional. Anna measured me twice and then Jeannie, the manager or owner I think, came in and explained that she was going to double check for accuracy. I got dressed after that but then they came back in and asked me to put the dress back on because I was between sizes in the hips and they wanted to know how I would like it to fit there. They explained everything to me about the sizing and I felt very confident that they had ordered me the correct size.
I loved the 10% off for buying the day of and the free makeup trail they throw in at their in-​house salon.
Overall great experience and wonderful personalized service. I can’t wait for my dress to come in but will have to be ok with just obsessively looking at my pictures. Thanks for everything Misora!

Every little girl dreams of the day she tries on her first wedding dress. Seeing yourself standing there in a gorgeous, flowing white gown surrounded by mirrors, under those lights, with your bridesmaids gushing all over you — suddenly, it all feels very, very real. For me, today was that day… and Misora Bridal Boutique has the very special honor of being a part of it. Thank you, Anna and staff!
This being the first stop on my journey to find *THE* dress, I literally arrived with a Pinterest board of dress ideas, a tentative budget, and an extra pair of heels. Anna allowed me and my bridesmaids the freedom to peruse the floor, and as we picked out dresses, she quickly whisked them away to my dressing room to wait for me. The boutique has a small storefront, but it contains ~4 long aisles of dresses, dressing rooms, and of course, mirrors galore to get that perfect 360 degree look. Make sure to check out the aisles near the back — they contain discontinued gowns that you can buy «as is» at a discounted rate!
With my dressing room packed to the brim with dresses, I was ready to start trying stuff on. The dressing room was spacious enough to hold my 4 bridesmaids, while Anna helped me dress and undress on the other side of the curtain. It was a tad awkward at first, but Anna was very sweet, made me feel comfortable by keeping the conversation going, and I eventually forgot I was pretty much half-​naked most of the time. For the next 90 minutes, it was a cycle of dressing up — reveal — feedback — undressing — repeat. The staff recommends keeping 3 dresses max in your «Maybe» pile, and near the end of my session, I finally narrowed my «Maybe» pile down to 2 — one sitting comfortably in my budget of $ 1000-​$ 1500; the other stretching it to $ 2050. Nonetheless, Anna emailed me the details of both dresses, which I will definitely hold on to as I continue on my dress shopping journey.
Although I was bummed that I wasn’t able to take advantage of their 15% discount (offered to brides who buy during their first visit), I really enjoyed my experience at Misora. Their selection is pretty vast (LOTS of Maggie Sottero and Essence of Australia dresses), their prices are reasonable, ranging from ~$ 900 to $ 3K, and their appointment hours are more flexible than other boutiques in Houston. Who knows? Within a few months, I may be back for that gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress I couldn’t bear to take off… Stay tuned, Unilocalers!

Absolutely loved my experience shopping for a wedding dress at Misora! Upon arrival, Ann immediately helped me and by the time I visited Misora, I was already on my 8^th bridal shop and was feeling a bit discouraged. Ann had also asked me for my budget and initially it sounded like their prices were just starting at the cusp of my max amount so I cringed not looking forward to what I would find.
She helped me into several dresses and I was able to finally find «the one.» Im glad that my sister was there to help critique as well. Not only did I get my dress on sale and significantly under my budget of less than $ 1000-​$ 1500, there was also discount if I had bought it the same day. Another perk they throw in is a free steaming right before your big day and a makeup trial if you go with their hair & makeup salon called blush. Ann was so accommodating and understanding of my budget and we hit it off extremely well relating to each other on wedding planning, families, etc., etc.
My dress arrived a month earlier as expected and when I came in for the fitting, Jeannie helped me and she was absolutely amazing and so sweet. She gave her honest opinions and was very helpful and patient throughout the whole experience. I highly recommend this shop for future and current brides to look for their dresses.

Out of all the dress boutiques I went to I have to say that Misora left a special imprint on my bridal dress shopping experience. My appointment was on a Friday morning at 10am. I was there for a little over an hour and did not feel rushed at all. Misora answered all my questions and were equally attentive to my bridesmaids who accompanied me. The boutique was girly, dainty and delicate. Another reviewer did not give 5 stars due to the limited seating in the dressing room. I did not encounter this problem. I brought two of my bridesmaids and we were all able to fit on the love seat comfortably. I enjoyed the energy and excitement Jeanie and Anna shared about my wedding journey. They were patient in helping me try on 6+ dresses. They took the time to neatly clip each dress to form fit my body so that I could get the full experience from the dress. I loved the step up pedestal with the 360 degree mirrors that showcased every angle of the dress. The dress that I finally said yes to was completely opposite from what I instagram/​pintrest/​googleimage my dress to be. I’m thankful that they opened my eyes and dared me to step outside the box with a wedding dress that exceeded my expectations! The fact that Jeanie and Anna were patient enough to pull dresses of all different varieties for me to compare showed that they genuinely wanted me to find the dress that was unique to me. The dresses I tried were made with high quality lace and came with an affordable price. To my surprise, I was given a discount that saved me $ 400+ on the ticket price of the dress! Jeanie and Anna made great suggestions on which veil would compliment the dress best and offered a consultation for bridal makeup. I would highly recommend any bride/​bridesmaid to make an appointment with Misora and give them a chance!
I made the down payment that day and am estimated to receive my dress in February. I will definitely make another review on the conclusion of my bridal dress shopping experience!
STAY TUNED…

Update: so the store i didn’t even purchase the dress from got involved amd contacted their rep who in turn contacted Maggie Sotero corporate office and they are sending me a dress that will fit me. So what Misora couldn’t do in 10 weeks the current store did in 24 hours. Amazing what a little customer service can do.
I wanted to wait till I got my dress back before I wrote a review about my experience with Misora. Disclaimer: I LOVE my dress and I found it at Misora the whole review is about their lack of customer service and how I felt they would rather make a dollar than help serve customer when truly they made the mistake.
I said yes to the dress in March and got it around July or August. I wasn’t planning on moving out of Texas, but I got a job transfer and had to have my dress shipped to my new location. Since I was new to the area I had to find a place where I can go and try on my dress and I found it about a week later. I tried it and I couldn’t have been happier so the ladies at the store suggested I try on some heels with it so I can get the full effect. I put the shoes on and my dress is short… like I threw it in the dryer and it shrunk short. I was mortified so I tried on shorter heels because maybe 4 inch heels weren’t meant for this dress so I went for a 2 inch… still short… okay let’s try flats (at this point i’m trying not to cry because I didn’t want to wear flats on wedding day)…even the flats were peeping out from the bottom. I contacted the store immediately. Since I work retail management I told the owner I wasn’t trying to get anything for free or discounted. We went back and forth for weeks about her wanting pictures of my measurement and pictures in the dress and on and on and on. I finally shipped the dressed back and she pretty much challenged me saying the pictures I send doesn’t match up with the way she is measuring the dress and all.
My dress is a 0 petite. I was educated by local wedding store and no one should ever order a dress in petite (unless you are super short which I about about five foot four), because it’s always better to have extra that you can take out rather than not have anything to work with. What really agitated me was the consultant who measured me (ANNA) told me the petite would be perfect for me. The day I ordered the dress I was wearing about a 5 inch platform heel and I asked her «I will be able to wear heels right» to which she responded «Oh yeah you should be able to wear something like that in fact you might have to even get it taken in because even with the heels on the dress is long on you». What I DIDN’T know was I was wearing a regular size dress NOT a petite and Jeannie later tells me a petite is made for a person who is up to five foot six. Like why would you tell someone you can wear a 4 – 5 inch heel but the dress only accommodates maybe two inches on heels??? The weird part is that even though I am five foot four and the dress can accommodate some unto five six it’s still short on me. I’m sure the owner will get on here and defend her consultants mistakes as she has done with all the other reviews, but my suggestion:
Go here to look for dresses they have some great selection BUT go some where else and buy it where the staff might be a bit more knowledgeable about what they are talking about.
Needless to say it’s 38 days before the wedding and I don’t have a dress that properly fits me. The above mentioned wedding store has been working with me she even offered to switch dresses with me if I got the dress in on time, but by the time I got the dress back from Misora this time around she already sold out of the same dress and couldn’t guarantee she could get another one in on time. However she is working with her Maggie Sotero vendor to see if she can do anything to help me out. Every time she see’s me in the dress all she does is put her head and shake her head.

I’m going to quote this crazy witch lady and respond where appropriate.
Comment from jeannie t. of Misora Bridal Boutique Business Owner 4÷27÷2014
«We apologize if there was any miscommunication during your initial visit or our follow-​up conversations with regards to our policies and the policies of the designers that we work with. We are always more than happy to work with our customers and find the perfect solution for them with regards to their dress. In this particular instance, the designer who supplied this dress does not allow exchanges or returns, as was laid out in the terms and conditions of sale.»
All the more reason to measure right the first time, lady. What this tells me is that all you know how to do is hold a tape measure. You do not understand the cloth and cut that you are selling and the kind of measurements that need to be taken to accommodate a certain designers dress. You do not know your products!
«We were not aware of the extent of your hesitations, given that they were not mentioned the first time you tried on the dress in November.»
This is an outright lie. Picture is attached with date. I don’t know how it gets any clearer than writing, «tried on, dress don’t fit.» Apparently, the next step from here was: sorry, tough luck.
«We will absolutely work on making sure that all of our customers are clear on the policies of the particular designer that they are purchasing from, as well as with those of our company.»
Read this carefully, Unilocalers. Indeed, she was very clear that there were no returns or exchanges. Nowhere does it read that we will absolutely work on making sure that our customers are SATISFIED.
We put down a deposit, fully intending to buy a wedding dress. How about YOU take the time to understand the designer and how their cuts are meant to be worn, especially with these strict policies.
What really gets us is that instead of acknowledging their errors, this crazy bat lady calls after our initial review to ARGUE with us! All her claims were based on the fact that she didn’t know the extent, or her worker couldn’t have helper her as much as she could have had we escalated our concerns more than the 3 times we already had. I have news for you crazy bat lady, if I have a problem with my meal at Landry’s, it shouldn’t take me complaining all the way up to Tillman Fertitta before it gets resolved.
A BIG warning to fellow bride to be Unilocalers thinking about coming here: Don’t do it! All eyes are on you during your big day. This crazy bat lady almost ruined that big day for us. Don’t let her come close to ruining yours. The shop is nice. Go there, try on a few dresses, but SPEND ELSEWHERE. Not only is customer satisfaction is not a priority here, but I think she gets off on arguing with customers. Negative stars, if possible. She will no doubt try to argue this review as well.

The owner contacted me after reading my previous review saying she could have helped me if I would’ve come to her, while still not admitting any fault. That’s good to know 2 weeks before my wedding…
See how bad customer service is? This psycho actually called me to argue about my Unilocal review. This was my experience, and I 100% stand by what I wrote.
She called me stating that she didn’t feel my review was totally accurate. Are you for real lady? This is my review on my personal experience here. Did you want me to delete it, and give you more stars? That made me more upset! What you got was an updated review, and a ONE star AGAIN!
After two bad phone calls and a second fitting and being told repeatedly by the employees there was nothing they could do, I was through arguing and was resigned to solving the problem on my own.
After all, having already complained three times why should I expect a fourth to be different?
As a final word, shop here at your own risk, be aware there are no refunds, and make sure you come ready to complain to at least three people and hope one of them is the psycho «owner.»

If you’re feeling lost & stress then come to misora!
I had a style in mind & sadly my ideas weren’t working out for me. I’ve been to a few stores before coming here. I tried on over 20 dresses. Dress shopping was becoming a nightmare.
Thank goodness for Jeanie. She is awesome. She made me feel like a bride & helped me look out of my comfort zone. The dress that might be a yes is something I never imagined wearing.
All of my other fittings, I was done in 30 min or less. I was surprise I was here for more than 1.5 hr.
If you have a heavy top I suggest essence of Australia. They have an option for zipper or lace up. Lace up is awesome bc you have it fit to your shape.
Price range from $ 900−3k
