Seven Hundred Square Meters of Occasion Wear at Spittelmarkt

crusz Berlin is located directly at Spittelmarkt in Mitte, at the Leipziger Straße exit of the subway station of the same name, spread over approximately seven hundred square meters. The store started in 2003 with evening wear and dresses for special occasions; the bridal department was added later and has been steadily growing ever since. Today, evening dresses, ball gowns, cocktail dresses, as well as prom and confirmation dresses, stand alongside bridesmaids’ and mother-of-the-bride dresses, plus men’s suits, bespoke suits, wedding rings, and accessories. If you’re just looking for evening wear, you can simply drop by and try them on; no appointment is necessary for this. Appointments are only required for wedding dresses, the men’s department, and rings. The team provides advice in English, Polish, Turkish, and French, among other languages, which makes a difference for a store of this size with international clientele. The store sees itself as a concept store where a complete outfit can be assembled in one place, from the dress to the shoes to the ring.

Brands, Sizes, and Prices

In the evening wear section, crusz Berlin features brands such as Sherri Hill, Chic & Holland, Rosa Clará Evening, Marfil Barcelona, Portia & Scarlett, and Tarik Ediz. According to the store, Sherri Hill is exclusively available here in Germany. Evening dress sizes range from 28 to 50, and mother-of-the-bride dresses go up to 52, covering significantly more than standard ready-to-wear sizes. Ball gowns start at around 400 Euros, with long Sherri Hill models ranging from 799 to 1,999 Euros. Additionally, there’s a best price guarantee: if you find the same dress cheaper at a competitor in Berlin and can prove it, you’ll get it at least ten Euros cheaper here. There is no in-house alteration service, but the store recommends a tailor in the immediate vicinity. Many dresses are unique pieces, so the inventory constantly changes, and a specific model cannot be reserved. A second location on Leipziger Straße also houses a wedding dress outlet, where individual pieces from previous collections are sold off.
