I always wanted a modest wedding dress for my wedding, but finding one that was also modern and affordable was so hard. I found Chatfield's Bridal Boutique through a Google search and I was not disappointed. Debbie was very quick to respond to my inquiries and I was able to try on sample dresses with her. She is very knowledgeable about which dress style, length, and coverage would be best for your body type and for your wedding day/events.
The price was so affordable and I was also able to order a veil and tie for my now husband to help everything match with my dress. The order came in a timely manner and Debbie made purchasing a dress so easy and hassle-free. I would highly recommend her boutique to anyone looking for a modern yet modest wedding dress.

This place is wonderful! My daughter so wanted a modest dress due to her own convictions and wanting to be a good example to other young girls. After searching other bridal stores unsuccessfully, we found Chatfields. The owner was so accommodating and helpful. Every dress we tried on was modest and beautiful. It was honestly hard to choose. I highly recommend this place!

This shop is amazing! They carry wedding dresses with modest options, which is a must in certain religious ceremonies. I recommend this shop to any bride looking for a more modest option for their wedding dress.

Chatfields made my wedding day a dream. I had been to every bridal shop possible, trying to find something in the more modest range. Someone recommended Chatfields, and I am so happy to have found them! Debbie was FANTASTIC. I arrived and she had many dresses to try on that were equally beautiful. She asked for pictures of what my dream dress would be, and then she disappeared for a few minutes. Then, she appeared with a dress very similar to my dream dress, and it was JUST PERFECT!
Working with Debbie was wonderful and the dress turned out better then I could have ever hoped for. Thank you Chatfields! I am sending all my friends that way, I couldn't speak highly enough about them!

Chatfields made finding the wedding dress of my dreams a reality! I knew exactly what I wanted in a wedding gown, but everyone told me it would be impossible to find. For starters, my gown had to be completely modest with no alterations. Debbie was so outstanding, she made arrangements for me to try on gowns even though I live in Texas, her service was amazing and she even allowed me to make a few payments.
My dress was exactly what I wanted, and only $600. I only needed one minor alteration which a lady in my church was able to do easily. I couldn't be happier with Debbie and her bridal boutique, I have sung her praises to many ladies in my church. If you need a modest gown that won't break your wedding budget, Debbie is the lady to talk to!

Debbie at Chatfield's is amazing! She found the perfect dress for me and she listened to exactly what I wanted. She even helped me customize my dress by making the sleeves longer and raising the neckline a little bit. I love that she has modest dresses! I definitely will recommend her to all my friends! Thank you, Debbie for making my dress shopping experience fun, exciting, and stress free!

My experience at Chatfields was wonderful! I felt very special and important. Debbie is so warm and helpful. I actually began with one dress then ended with another! My mom found another one from the same designer online (more of what I was really wanting) and Debbie ordered it for me to come try on in the store and pick which one I liked better! What fantastic customer service! It is SO hard to find modest wedding dresses.
This store is full of them! Some places claim to have modest dresses but really, they are not all that modest, and they only have a teeny-tiny selection. All of Chatfields dresses are completely modest! There is a style for everyone, you will not be disappointed. I recommend this place to all brides seeking to be modest, it is well worth whatever drive.

My daughter went there on the recommendation of a friend. All the dresses were wonderfully modest but not frumpy. She was treated well and everyone was so friendly. I tell every bride I know about this shop. Worth the time to go by.

I was able to find the perfect modest bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding through Chatfield's website. Debbie was so helpful to make sure the dress would be the perfect fit for me and shipped it to me right away. It was perfect! I'll be recommending Chatfield's to my friends

I just bought the most perfect dress, and I loved the whole experience of going here. I feel I got guided well with what I wanted and needed.. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a modest wedding dress. Also a really great selection of dresses within a good price range.

I was looking for a modest dress. I found the dress I wanted online and looked up the nearest dealer. Chatfield's Boutique was listed as the closest location (over 3 hours). When I called and told her which dress I was looking for, she said she had two in stock... one in my size! She was pleasant to talk to and very accommodating for long distance travelers. Although she is a small boutique and only has few sizes of each style, she offered to let me take the dress from the store the day I came.When we got to the store, it felt comfortable from the moment we opened the door. Debbie was so charming and so welcoming!
I picked out the dress I wanted to try on and as soon as I stepped out onto the platform, it was obvious that was my dress. Debbie is a very positive, no pressure lady who gives her undivided attention (even with 3 customers in the store!!). The fact that she helped me design my own veil for a reasonable price was the cherry on top.Anyone who is looking for a pleasant shopping experience for destination, modest, or maternity gowns, this is THE boutique to shop. I was so pleased with my experience and you will be too!

Now that the wedding is done, I want to share my experience at Chatfields. I don't even know where to begin to explain how grateful I am. My daughter wanted a modest wedding dress, which personally I was thrilled that she didn't choose a strapless wedding gown. I was a little nervous about their location, expecting to see expensive gowns. They are very reasonably priced. The dress was exactly what she wanted and we knew when she tried it on.
I started to tear up, not because of the dress so much, but because my baby was getting married. I was personally touched that Debbie and her mother also started to tear up as well. Then we all started to laugh. I felt, they cared about my daughter's happiness, not just the sale of a gown. I promised them that I will shout it from the mountain tops and will be a walking advertisement for this lovely, lovely shop.
I read some of the other reviews, and I understand now why they felt compelled to write. When you are treated with kindness and courteous service, you want everyone to know. Please consider this store when you are shopping for a wedding gown.
