A Little Something White Bridal Couture

e true. ALSW was one of the bridal shops I went to on my first day of dress shopping. I was with my Mother & Sister (Matron of Honor). Kim Major greeted us with a warm and energetic smile. After she introduced herself and offered us champagne, she walked the entire shop with me wanting to get to know more about my fiancé, my vision, and me for the wedding day. We pulled A LOT of gowns. We would try each one on and talk about what we liked or disliked about the piece. She was never pushy with her opinions or for the sale; we would talk it through together. We were a team from day one. It was no surprise to my Mom & Sister that I kept referring back to Kim & ALSW – she and the shop quickly became what I would compare all the other dress shops to throughout my search. I actually went back to Kim & ALSW multiple times before committing and again, she always welcomed us with the same warm and energetic smile, never pushing me to make a decision (even though I was trying on the same dress over again and over again!) Finally the day came when I said YES TO THE DRESS and the collaborative effort with myself and ALSW really began. Kim and I over the past two months had developed a trustworthy friendship. She told me that I had to have the best seamstress and that her name was Bridget. I immediately booked all my fittings with Bridget and was fully confident already with her work because I knew Kim would never steer me wrong. Sarah Jesscia Parker once said her seamstress is her best friend and it’s 100% true. I am 5’ 1 and about to wear this extravagant wedding ball gown, it had to fit perfect so I wasn't lost in it. It didn't matter how much the dress cost, the designer or how fit I got, if the dress did not fit my body perfectly all of that wouldn't have mattered. Bridget was so talented and such a professional in each of my fittings, she tailored the dress so it was made for me. It was all mine - I felt and looked like a princess! Kim could not have been more accurate, Bridget is the BEST in the business! The day of my wedding (actually 30 minutes before I was about to walk down the aisle) lipstick got on the bottom of my gown. It was an honest mistake by the makeup artist but as a bride you can only imagine the pure panic that quickly overwhelmed me. I didn't know what to do. I called ALSW because I felt like I needed to talk to them since they had been with me through it all with the dress. Kim was unavailable, however, the owner Ashley immediately got the phone with me. She talked me through what had happened, a few recommendations of her own, but then said she wanted to call the designer herself and ask her what to do. Within 5 minutes I had ALSW and Sareh Nouri both on the phone helping me. It was above five star customer service. The ALSW team, specifically Kim & Bridget, brought my wedding gown dream to life. I will forever be grateful to them!

large variety of beautiful dresses and jewelry to try on. Thank you so much ladies for making this day a special one 🤍

can't praise them enough - the dress selection was beautiful. Thank you!!

hy. 100% recommend!

e to look for your dream dress!

o comfortable and confident in my dress decision. The store is neat and organized and everyone is so polite and helpful. Whether or not you find your dress there, would reccomend going just for the good experience!

to move the time to allow my sister to fly in on time to watch me try on gowns. I worked with Krissy, who perfectly understood what I was looking for from a few e-mails and a short dressing room conversation. She pulled about ten gowns, all of which were dead on in terms of what I was looking for. She helped me advocate for what I liked the best in front of my mom and sister, which can sometimes be a tricky dynamic! But wanted to make sure that I walked away with something I truly loved! I feel really privileged to have gotten to work with her and would highly recommend the shopping experience as a whole!

dress she selected! She was so kind and helpful, and pulled some absolutely perfect dresses for me to try on. I didn't look at the size I was trying on once! I also did not feel rushed at all during my appointment, and was able to try on a variety of dresses. ALSW has a truly beautiful collection of gowns at a range of prices. They also have gorgeous accessories and veils- although I didn't end up purchasing my gown here, I did come back to buy my veil here! Cannot recommend ALSW highly enough, especially Cindy!

me to options in my price range. She was professional, made the appointment fun, and spent a lot of time with me and my family. It was a great experience!

start to finish, including alterations with Bridget. She did a wonderful job with my dress -- it fit perfectly! Also, Liz is a phenomenal and talented person (and friend) who helped me each step of the way and guided me to my perfect dress. She also helped talk me through things when I was being indecisive or unsure and validated that I was making the right choice. I also borrowed/rented one of their vintage fur shawls which was a gorgeous addition to my dress! I recommend this boutique 10/10!

yond thrilled! I would recommend ALSW to any bride looking for an unforgettable shopping experience!

fortable and spoiled every time I visited. Jamie did my alterations and she was so understanding and accommodating to my many requests and concerns. I looked forward to seeing her at each fitting! Thank you!!

er in-house tailoring as well as cleaning and preservation. You can also purchase jewelry, veils, other accessories, guest/mother/grandmother dresses, flower girl dresses, and suits! I can’t recommend them enough.

Trunk Shows and I was able to Say Yes to the Dress with the designer standing right there! I loved this whole experience and cannot recommend ALSW enough!!

, and gave me a call a few days before my appointment to go over what I was looking for and who would be joining me. They were very accommodating, as I did have quite a few loved ones join me for the experience. Nicole was fabulous at managing all of my guests, and prioritizing my opinions and style. I would absolutely recommend them to any future brides.

nd my dream dress. The entire experience felt relaxed and special and extremely luxurious. ALSW is truly a one-stop shop for me. It was my first time in a bridal boutique looking for a dress, and lucky for me I don’t have to go anywhere else. Lots of friends of mine are planning their weddings as well and visited bridal boutiques in NYC and weren’t thrilled with their experiences - but I couldn’t have been happier with mine. A few highlights - Krissy sat down with us at the beginning of the appointment and asked about my wedding, what I thought I liked in terms of dress styles and budget. We then walked through to the store picking dresses together and then helped me try each on, taking pictures of each and talking through each option. The entire experience was fun, and special and best of all, I found my dress! As we were checking out, the other women who were working in the store came over and chatted with us and it just felt like a store full of people I’d choose to be friends with. I would recommend ALSW and Krissy 10000x over to any bride looking to find the perfect dress!

y dad to look at the dress before officially saying yes. I would highly recommend A Little Something White for any bride

erful experience and it blew the competitors out of the water by a mile. I'm so happy with my experience at A Little Something White.

business and efficient on time, patiently helping me through two appointments plowing through dresses to ensure I felt good about my choice. She’ll tell you her opinion, too, which underscored her expertise vs. younger associates I worked with at other stores. Another detail I’d like to share. The dress I picked was outside my initial budget. Cindy mentioned one she thought would work for my body type based on another dress I liked and thought was “close.” Only after repeatedly assuring her I would not have a meltdown if I couldn’t have it, I tried it on. I realize that was an immense luxury, but trying on a range of prices did help me gain an understanding of the market and what I was getting because I had a better grasp of the variance in quality and product. If you can remain detached (easier said than done), it can make you smarter and discern what’s important to you if you are as clueless as I was heading into it. I went back a third time to pick out a veil with Cindy. Again, she came through. I wish I would have visited the store sooner for both my dress and veil selection. Doom scrolling online looking for veils isn’t the same as the expertise you’ll get here trying it on and seeing how it complements your dress. Driving down from Hartford was long, but worth it. They’ve even referred me to tailors closer to my area so that I don’t have to drive to Darien for fittings, which I also appreciated.
