CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #1 The search for "The Dress" seemed daunting, until we wereguided to Grandasia by Kalli’s Dad. He had passed bytheir windows with beautiful dresses numerous times, andhad always thought this is where he wanted to bring hisdaughter. When we walked in we immediately felt at ease.The racks were filled with beautiful dresses and the ladiesin the store were immensely helpful and friendly. Wefound "The Dress" quickly and had a great experience. Kalli & Lisa JermynSenior at Hingham High School (& Mom)

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #2 When I first came into Grandasia in March 2011, the firstdress I tried on I immediately had to have. The staff did anawesome job with making sure I was 100% satisfied withmy choice. The environment is warm and fun, yetextremely professional. They gave my dress to me in notime and it turned out perfectly. This year shopping forprom, Grandasia was the first place I looked for a dress,and loved all the selections. I even ended up getting mydress from here again. I’ve recommended it to several ofmy friends who have been happy I did so. I feel confidentwith trusting the staff here to get everything done perfectlyand on time. I will definitely be a client for the followingyears to come. Lauren HardingSenior at Norwell High School

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #3After looking endlessly in stores and online made anappointment to check out mother of the bride dresses. Ihad found many dresses at Grandasia that impressed me,called them for pricing and went in to look. I was soimpressed with the quality of the dresses and the staff wasvery knowledgeable and helpful. I'm a woman in my early50's and wanted a dress that was age appropriate. Too oldfor a bridesmaid dress, but too young for a rhinestone jack-et. This store more than met my expectations and I pur-chased a dress that I am proud to wear which will not onlylook beautiful but is made of quality material. My daugh-ter ended up getting her bridesmaid dresses here alongwith her shoes and jewelry. My best friend's daughter isgetting married this year and after purchasing many differ-ent dresses from online and in stores returned all them andpurchased her dress here as well. I recommend Grandasiahighly and if you want to purchase quality dresses in anon-pushy environment I suggest you start here first.Donna BythrowQuincy, MA

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #4I have gotten so many compliments about the collection ofdance shoes that I bought from Grandasia. "Wow" wheredo you get those Red Satin/Silver Sparkles? "They look gor-geous!" The heel is higher than I usually wear but I canwear them and dance 5 hours of ballroom comfortably.They are open toe shoes without feeling open toe. Mygold dance shoes have a lower heel and even though theyhave an open toe it isn't an issue. Other open toe shoesthat I bought elsewhere feel as though they are cutting intothe top of my foot. It doesn't happen in these shoes.Kathleen FancherSouth Shore Dancers

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #5 I found myself in Grandasia as they were one of very fewlocations that carried a hard to find last season bridesmaiddress that I need quickly. I walked in explained my chal-lenge. Not only were they able to satisfy my order, theydid it for $50 less than any other location I had called-AND the rush charge was totally reasonable. It was rainingoutside so I decided to try on some wedding dresses as Iwas recently engaged and though what the hell. 45 min-utes later I was making a deal on a beautiful dress that Iknew was the one. Just like that I got a great deal on mywedding dress. Picked my bridesmaid dress 3 weeks later,did some quick alterations and it was ready the followingweek and fit perfectly. Fast forward to several months laterit was time for a fitting and alterations of my weddingdress, again outstanding service, reasonable pricing. Iended up buying a veil as well, and left one happy bride. Icannot recommend the women that run and work this shopmore, they are very knowledgeable, not pushy, superfriendly and know how to hook up a dress. These womenare not new to the dress game and it shows. I highly rec-ommend the shop for quality products and exceptionalservice, I will return for all fancy dress needs. ALSO theyare the best price around for wedding dress cleaning andpreservation!!!Kelly Rose B. JohnsonNorth Weymouth, MA

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #6I live down the street from Grandasia and I used to makefun of the dresses on their window display. But somethingmade me go on their website one night and I ended upseeing a ton of Justin Alexander wedding dresses that Iliked so I decided to stop in. To my surprise, they actuallyhave some cute stuff. I got there a half hour before theyclosed on a Friday night and tried on maybe 6 dresses. Thestaff was very helpful and friendly, not pushy. I was verycomfortable the whole time even though I was there soclose to their closing time. There is a decent selection ofdresses stocked but not too overwhelming. The selection fororder is way larger in case you don't see something thatyou like in the store. I had just gone to David's Bridal aweek or so before for bridesmaids dresses and had a not sopleasant experience.....long wait, rude staff, etc. Considerchecking this place out if you are nearby. Shopping foryour wedding dress should be a good and happy experi-ence. You will have a good experience here at Grandasia. Iended up buying my wedding dress here and it was at adecent price. I got a Signature Collection by JustinAlexander. Needless to say, I won't be making fun of thedresses on display when I drive by anymore. Overall - goodselection for all taste, decent price, good staff, good loca-tion.Lisa Chy-Lee Quincy, MA

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #7I am a Caucasian female who fell in love and married agorgeous handsome Chinese businessman. To show respectto my in-law’s cultural tradition, I persisted in wearing aChinese cheongsam (Qipao) with long sleeves for my wedding banquet in Chinatown. After having absolutely noluck finding one in Boston Chinatown I came to Grandasiabased on Yelp reviews. Thank God I did! Not only did theysave me a few trips to NYC's Chinatown, they customizedan existing dress to my specific (difficult) needs (I wantedto have lacy form-fitted long sleeves!) They also did abeautiful job tailoring a cheongsam that I brought intothem. The women in the shop are amazing, so helpful andprecise. I would recommend them to anyone who thinksyou have to go all the way to NYC to get a beautifulcheongsam for a special occasion! Jillian C. ChanManager, Gateway Real Estate GroupBoston, MA

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #8We have purchased at least 4 dresses for different occasions at Grandasia. I can’t say enough about howwonderful our experiences have been. Everyone has beenso accommodating and the selection of dresses is the bestaround. I highly recommend Grandasia. We will be com-ing back for many years.Jacqueline & Maureen Pitts Junior at Quincy High School (& Mom)

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL #9Having no luck finding bridesmaid dresses I liked for mygirls at the big wedding stores, I was referred to Grandasiaby a fellow bride. I went there with an open mind andfound myself pleasantly surprised. Grandasia has beautifulgowns that are high quality. A bonus is the staff is very personable there and willing to help. I decided to get mybridesmaids dresses from there, and they are gorgeous andwell made. My mother got a beautiful mother of the bridegown there, and I ended up getting my wedding shoes, andwedding jewelry from there as well. I would highly recom-mend this store to anyone.Ashley BythrowQuincy, MA
