J’ai été reçue avec le sourire et avec soin! Lorsque j’ai demandé une autre taille, on n’a pas hésité à aller vérifier et se coordonner avec l’autre boutique pour que le morceau arrive rapidement.
Impossible de repartir de 1861 sans avoir trouvé plusieurs morceaux magnifiques et de qualité!

Je recommande fortement le 1861! Une équipe de coeur qui veut le bien de leurs clientes! Merci à Ferdaous et à 1861 !

Ravissante boutique où l’on aime venir découvrir les nouveautés. Chaque petit objet raconte une histoire…. On adore !

Lots of pretty things

Super service à la clientèle, Fatima a répondu rapidement à mon message quand j'ai eu un problème et elle a réglé le tout dans la même journée! Service impeccable!

Excellent service avec une sélection de robes hors pair

Great quality dress! Will repurchase 🙂

I had the BEST experience here. I ordered a few gowns, and needed to make a change to my order - customer service team was amazing. So kind and helpful. Then, I needed to return the gowns I didn't want, and returning was clear and communication was incredible. 100% recommend.

Had an absolute emergency when my original wedding dress was damaged beyond being wearable 2wks before our special day.
Was looking desperately to find a replacement locally, but wasn't loving what was available, so I turned to Boutique 1861. I have purchased from them in the past, and have always loved their clothing so knew the quality was going to be amazing. Luckily I was able to find a dress that was similar to my original but also something that I loved. My biggest concern was making sure it arrived in time. I am eternally grateful to Fatima. She was so kind, quick to respond to my situation, and did everything she could to help me get my dress delivered on time. She and everyone involved in that process are so amazing, and I can not thank you enough! ❤️

I love this store. This place is my go-to. I needed dresses for my bridesmaids and for my mother and we found exactly what we were looking for. The staff is amazing and I can not recommend this store and its service more.

J’y suis allée pour un essayage de robe de mariée. J’avais réservé une salle pour 1h30 et j’ai eu un très bon service. L’employée a pu suggérer des options qui sortaient des sentiers battus et qui alimentaient toujours ma réflexion, même si elles ne faisaient pas partie de mes coups de coeur finaux. Bref, belle expérience et je recommande!

Très belle boutique
Les employés sont accueillants et nous un donne des bons conseils et un avis honnête

First and foremost, I knew nothing about this company and actually found dresses online from competitors that I wanted, and found out they were actually resellers who sold bad product.

I was planning on buying my partner a brand new dress because she showed me a lot of these companies who were not legit.

so i decided to buy her one from a Canadian company who was actually selling REAL, good quality dresses, and found Boutique 1861 on google as the reviews were amazing.

I did some digging and found out that they have over 7000 reviews being at 4.8 at the time of reviewing this, I looked at the bad reviews and turns out it was just a bunch of cranky people complaining about pulls in fabric or little wrinkles even though they bought the “second chances” dresses which are basically used dresses which at the massive discounts they give them, is an amazing value, but what do you expect, they do the best they can, but I wanted a new dress for my partner for her birthday.

Being a man, I obviously didn’t do enough research and ordered the wrong size and only a day later realized this mistake, in ONE DAY they had already shipped my product (keep in mind I paid for express shipping) I thought it was crazy how fast these guys were, so I was worried I couldn’t get a refund, and more importantly, my partners dress wouldn’t fit.

So I called and a lovely woman named Rebecca helped me over the phone, she said SHE herself would help me in this stressful situation and said that she would find as similar as possible dresses that I thought she’d love, in the same price range, just in a different size, and she gave me 7 options and immediately fell in love with one of them myself.

She helped me understand the return and refund policy as I just need to ship it in from the post office.

The point of all of this is that I’ve never bought anything from them, heard nothing from them besides my partner mentioning ONCE that Boutique 1861 was the place she’s ALWAYS wanted a dress.

The team at boutique 1861 are truly amazing people, if you need a dress, or anything clothing for that matter, if you live in Ottawa like myself, or LIVE in Montreal you MUST order or stop into their physical store.

I WILL be buying again, the service alone has made me seriously appreciated the company, thank you Rebecca, thank you Boutique 1861, and please keep doing what you’re doing, much Love -Xavier Fry

Vraiment bon service et on s'y s'en très à l'aise pour l'esseyage!

Je me suis sentie accueillie chaleureusement par toutes les employées que j'ai rencontrées. J'y suis allée lors d'un moment fort achalandé en fin de semaine et aussi à un moment plus tranquille durant la semaine. Chaque fois, le service client a été au top. Les robes sont magnifiques. L'ambiance douce et cocon du magasin m'a permis de me détendre et de faire de beaux souvenirs avec mes amies.

I absolutely loved my experience! We reserved a private bridal salon with a dedicated stylist for 1.5 hours, and it was amazing from start to finish.

The boutique is beautiful, and Cécile, our stylist, was exceptional. She was incredibly helpful, attentive to every detail, and so patient throughout the entire appointment.

The dress prices are very reasonable, and they offer a wide variety of beautiful styles to choose from.

I highly recommend this boutique to any bride looking for a fun, personalized, and stress-free dress shopping experience!

Service excellent, les vendeuses competentes et le prix mieux que je pensais mettre pour une robe

Nous avions cherchés dans 3 autres boutiques avant, nous étions désespérés, un groupe de 5 filles pour un mariage..! Les jeunes filles nous ont aidés à trouver des robes avec les bonnes couleurs, elles nous apportaient les bonnes grandeurs, et surtout, nous avons toutes trouvées des robes belles et confortable et surtout à prix très abordables. L’ambiance du magasin est trop joli! Ça me donne envie de revenir. Merci ✨🌸🫶

Fantastique service! Vendeuses très professionnelles et patientes, très belles robes avec des prix très abordables et beaucoup de choix. Je recommande fortement cette boutique ♥️

I bought my wedding dress from boutique 1861. I found an amazing wedding dress and am very happy with the friendly & warm service. All my questions were answered quickly. I had to special order my dress and it arrived in 6 weeks. Thank you to all the staff that gave me a great bridal experience!

My daughter and I are from Toronto and came to boutique 1861 to shop for her University grad ball dress for next March. They have a great selection of dresses with different color, silhouettes and fabric.
Staff are attentive and professional. Price is also very reasonable.
My daughter bought a pink dress here and a pair of earrings at the shop next door.

Very nice boutique, nice fancy,dresses and nice staff

Le staff est vraiment aidant. Arrive au bon moment pour nous libérer les mains, disponible pour vérifier les grandeurs et les couleurs. On peut également avoir un avis honnête et respectueux.
