This place is completely unbelievable. I selected the top of one dress, the bottom of another and the fabric from a third for my wedding dress. I was a little apprehensive because the fabric has feathers on it.... which, let's face it, can be super cool or completely out of control. But, the amazing people at Cicada went with it and it's the most amazing dress ever. It fit PERFECTLY with my very first fitting and has the Great Gatsby written all over it. The best part is that the dress is completely "me" and didn't cost much more than buying one off the floor! I never thought I'd be able to find something that suited me so perfectly. Or, that I would be able to have SO much input on the dress. If you are getting married, you'll never find another place that will give you this level of input and quality. You absolutely MUST go.

Pros: Options, Service, Value, Professionalism

PERFECT, Custom dress, at a GREAT price. You don't have to go broke to look couture for your wedding, ladies. The lord only knows how I have been obsessed with fashion my entire life and if anyone needed to look PERFECT the day of their wedding it was me! My dress was a beautiful, backless two piece....amazing...the ladies at Cicada were funny, engaging, sweet and VERY talented. I went to several shops around seattle and stuck with Cicada because they were able to adjust the gown I picked to make it me...everyone at the wedding loved it and we had a pretty famous photographer photograph the wedding and he kept commenting on how stunning the dress was to photograph....I saw a couple of bad reviews and it is unfortunate brides get caught up in taking time to make nasty comments that can hurt a business....I have lived in Seattle my entire life and many of my girlfriends have shopped at Cicada and they were all very happy....I will be posting a photo in the Seattle Times within the month..we were married at the Salish Lodge and Spa on Sept 21st, 2007 and I couldn't wait to post this comment...Cidcada is a lovely place for your special day and if I give it the thumbs up then it's good because I am the super snob when it comes to the right places and this place is wonderful.....

The place to go to ensure you won't end up drowning in cookie-cutter polyester lace at the altar.  See the full editorial review.
