Princess Kaiulani

I stumbled onto Princess K for my wedding dress as a bit of a fluke--my mom always said the graduation dresses they make for my high school (long and white) look like wedding dresses, so we visited them out of the blue to see if they did indeed make wedding dresses. Princess K does have a small corner in the back with a VARIETY of wedding dresses--all different styles, eras, and fabrics depending on what they have made in the past and have the samples of, so don't expect a "Summer 2010" line or anything. I did find a dress that fit rather nicely and was appropriate in style for an outdoor wedding, and Princess K's staff was very helpful in letting me know that anything and everything could be customizable off of the sample. They could change the straps to be crossback instead of halter, remove a ruffle, customize the fabric, etc. I picked a dress that they had only made once before, and even then Princess K did such a good job tailoring it that it truly was custom made! They sewed it from scratch using my measurements (no off the rack here!) and at my fitting the seamstress nipped and tucked, suggested adding in little elastics in the side to make sure that there were no gaps at the side-boob area--amazing attention to detail! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that we got our entire wedding party's outfits there as well--silk shirts for the guys and dresses for the girls--one stop shopping at its finest! Best of all, since Princess K is off the beaten path and does not do weddings as their sole business, everything was extremely reasonable (still the most expensive dress I've ever bought, but easily 1/5 of the price of what wedding magazine photo shoots list dresses)
