As a bride, you dream of the dress. You dream of when you first step into the dress, how you will feel, and (hopefully) with that one step into the dress of a lifetime, all the visions of your wedding day overcome you. ALSW makes this dream com...
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!

I am a bride who was not enthusiastic about the dress shopping process at all— wary of the “I said yes” signs, champagne and tears. I went to six stores around CT, was frustrated, and finally found my dress here. Cindy was no-nonsense, down to ...
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.

as exhausted of not finding my dress. Yvette helped me out with a private appointment and it is totally worth it! I had gone in with a vision of the style of dress I wanted but I trusted Yvette who literally suggested a chic timeless dress despite my request to get something with a lot of intricate detailing. I left that appointment knowing my dress was there and then returned several weeks later with my sister and a new accessory, Crutches from my knee surgery. Yvette not only was flexible and super helpful with my inability to stand for long periods but also made me feel like a princess while I tried on dresses with my crutches. She was incredibly accommodating and Angelica is literally a sweet heart <3 Thank you for the amazing experience and creating a memory I will forever cherish.

ving to move forward anyways, and decided on power-house weekend to get it done. The staff and experience at ALSW was the best we had all weekend – I was only shown dresses in my price range and that would arrive in time for my fittings and wedding (not the case at other places), and the staff took the time to get a feel for my tastes and style, as well as indulging a bridesmaid who wanted to see me in something ‘outside my comfort zone.’ I was shown quite a few amazing dresses, but the Suzanne Neville dress I settled on was perfect. I was allowed all the time I needed to decide, trying it on a few times and comparing. Once I had decided, the measurement and customization process was very smooth, and just like that I had a dress! They were very communicative throughout the process, and I did my fittings through them as well. Because of my stylist’s ordering recommendations, I needed really limited adjustments to the dress, and the seamstress did an amazing job. They were upfront with expected costs, timely with appointments, and follow ups, and always lovely to see in the shop. Highly recommend visiting!

ne. I was on a tight budget so I hesitated to add ALSW to my list of stops, but if I hadn't come here, we wouldn't have found a dress that day. And I bought a perfect dress off the rack+discount they gave me which came in well under my budget. Other stores we went to either had low inventory (particularly of anything nice/tasteful), or had SO much inventory that you tried on millions of dirty dresses in bad condition, and found yourself sweating and searching through racks just to find something decent. The most important part of dress shopping is finding an awesome dress, and pretty much every dress I tried on at ALSW would have worked or been something I would have been happy with, just in different styles (and I tried on at least 15). Whoever is picking out their dresses really has an eye for flattering and beautiful styles. Most of these I hadn't even seen on the Knot or any of my online research. The second most important part of dress shopping is having a pleasant and happy day. The studio is bright and beautiful, the staff is kind and patient, and they were incredibly accomodating of everyone in my group. I even came back for a second visit with my mother who was very difficult and they were patient and kind with her as well, answering all her questions about my dress. This was the only studio I went to where I felt the "magic" of the wedding dress day, and the only place I found not one but many dresses that I loved (for under $2,000)!

I booked a follow up visit to see if the dress I though may be a contender really was one, and luckily to my surprise my my stylist asked if I wanted to try on a few more she had in mind since last seeing me. I said yes and thank goodness, because she pulled the a dress that was just perfect for me. Shout out to Olivia for learning who I am, what I liked, and this sounds weird, but my body. She found a dress that fit me perfectly and seemed meant to be. I would have never anticipated this process being easy or fun, but it was. Thanks so much Olivia and the Little Something White team!

Look no further than A Little Something White when considering where to buy your dress! ALSW came recommended to me from a friend and I'm so glad I took her up on her suggestion. I cannot speak more highly of the service I received at A Little ...
Something White. A few highlights: 1. When the salon first opened, they were permitting brides to have one guest accompany them. As I have two twin sisters, I was disappointed they weren't able to join, however, my consultant was patient as we video conferenced in my sisters and showed them the dresses as I tried them on to include them in this day. She also engaged them in the day by asking them questions or pointing out different aspects of the dress! 2. There was no pressure to buy a dress at the first appointment and they were considerate of my budget. There weren't dresses put forward as recommendations that were outside my price range. 3. They were thoughtful and listened to feedback without giving their personal opinion. I know what you're thinking - isn't that their job? I cannot tell you how many times bridal consultants at other salons said, I think this is the one, or the other dress looked way better on you. My consultant posed questions to me such as "how do you feel in this vs. the other one"; "are there aspects of this dress that you like better than the other". Remember, consultants know what can be customized so them asking you this feedback is to not only to help you make an informed decision, but also so they can put forward suggestions such as, we can add lace to this dress, add a sleeve, change the neckline, etc. 4. They're honest. Upon my return to ALSW for a second appointment where I was prepared to say "yes to the dress" I measured between sizes. ALSW provided me with all of my options and the possible outcomes depending on how I proceeded. They posed questions that help me arrive at the best decision for me, not the one that benefited them the most. Massive shoutout to Olivia for making all of my trips to ALSW special, positive, and personalized!

treet 6 or 8, struggling to fit into any of the sample dresses filled me with dread. As a plus size bride, I did not want to feel defeated on my very first appointment. My concerns were validated when I called and asked about the selection of larger size dresses in the boutique. The woman who answered the phone was honest and transparent and admitted to not having a large selection. She told me there were possibly 5 dresses in the store I could try on. I decided to cancel my appointment because no bride should feel unworthy or not beautiful because the bridal shop does not have any dresses for them to try on (especially on the first appointment). I received a call soon after from the manager who felt terribly about my perception of the store and wanted to try and make my experience at ALSW special and memorable. She told me that being a small boutique allowed her to contact designers and have dresses shipped in for brides to try. She asked me to look through the website of one of the designers they carry and send her a few styles of dresses I would be interested in trying. She would then contact the designer and see what she could get in the store for me to try on. After this conversation I was feeling much more confident. I really appreciated how accommodating the manager was and felt that their customer service was excellent. This was right before Labor Day weekend, the manager assured me she would get back to me after the holiday. It is now October 8 and I haven't heard a word from anyone at ALSW. The lack of a response or follow-up hurt more than when I decided to cancel my initial appointment. Thankfully, I had another appointment scheduled at Kleinfled Bridal in NYC. There were HUNDREDS of dresses for me to try on and the staff made me feel so special! I happened to find THE dress there and did not hesitate to purchase. To all the curvy ladies - do not even waste your time here! GO TO KLEINFELD!

I was deeply disappointed by my appointment at a little something white. Due to COVID, I felt it was important that the appointment be private. ALSW charges 350 for a private appointment while providing food, champagne, fresh flowers, a bridal ...
gift, and 150 credit towards your dress. I thought it was worth it due to covid and due to the amazing reviews they had. I was wrong. I'm usually a size 6 or 8 and I expect to fit into most bridal sample sizes. I've been to 3 different salons and had no trouble fitting into gowns, in fact, they've been too big. So to pay 350 dollars to go to a store to have my ENTIRE butt and back gaping out of these dresses was so ridiculous it was almost funny. The saleswoman told me it was because they were "off the runway" and "from London." I appreciate high-quality dresses especially by well-known designers, but to go to this store and not even fit into the dresses was absurd. It totally ruined my ability to seriously consider the dresses as I would have no idea how they'd actually look on me. Some dresses I couldn't even try on because they wouldn't go past my knees. Brides come in all shapes and sizes and the last thing a bride wants to feel is crappy about their body while they try on dresses. I don't even represent the average size of the American woman, so to have this much trouble was ridiculous. thank god I paid to have the store shut down or I would never have even come out of the changing room. On top of that, the sales clerk told me 5k was a healthy budget but then showed be nothing under 4k and when I tried to shop their sales rack she told me that those dresses were all "duds." So disappointed. My fellow curvy girls: don't waste your time.
Response from the Vendor on 09/01/2020
Hi Rose - Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We were absolutely dismayed to hear how you felt about your experience at A Little Something White. We so enjoyed your appointment on Sunday and were (and thought you did as well) ...
and genuinely shocked by this review. It is our goal to make everyone feel embraced and celebrated across price points, sizes, and shapes. We reached out to you over the phone yesterday to discuss your experience and find out what we can do to make it up to you. The reason we have so many outstanding reviews besides this one is that we truly do care about each of our brides. In the rare instance where someone has a sub-optimal experience, we will do whatever we can to make it right! I would ask that you please contact me, Ashley, the owner, at ashley@alittlesomethingwhite.com, as I am confident we can turn your experience around. In speaking to your stylist about your appointment, we have on file that you tried on close to 20-30 gowns during your special appointment, and at no time did we get the feeling that you were uncomfortable. We are SO sorry that we misread the situation. Additionally, many of the gowns you tried on were below $4,000. Again, our apologies for not making sure you knew that. I am the buyer for the store and aim to have a good representation of sizes. Currently in the store, 80 of our 120 active styles are a size 10 or higher. That means that 75% of the gowns in the store were your size or bigger. This past weekend, we did have the runway collection from one of our designers, as she just debuted her 2021 collection two weeks ago and we were one of the first stores to receive it and show it to brides. Despite years of requests for more standard sizing on those loaners, our designers typically cut their debut collections to the fit of the model. However, the gowns I ordered personally for the store from that designer are all a size 10-20 (and will arrive at some point over the next few months). We apologize that you were disappointed by the sizing of the designers' gowns and would love to welcome you back when our standard-sized gowns arrive. We sincerely hope to hear from you so that we can turn your experience into a positive one! Best wishes, Ashley

areh Nouri gown that as it so happened was in my size and a sample gown. Olivia was encouraging (not in a pushy way!), had examples and ideas of scenarios that I never thought of and just a wealth of experience. My mom and I left ALSW raving about how wonderful Olivia was. I came back the following week to try it on again since I often second guess myself. Unfortunately, it was Olivia's day off but fortunately, we met with Kim who was also a wealth of knowledge and experience. I said yes to my beautiful Sareh Nouri gown that day. Since it was a sample, it was sent for cleaning, I then picked it up about a month later to store at my home (not a problem). Flash forward to March 2020, coronavirus hits and our wedding is in question. My first fitting was in mid April, I heard from Angelica by the end of March to set up a possible rescheduled appointment at the end of April. Before I was even off the phone, I already had a text and email notifying me of the change. At this point in the wedding planning process I couldn't be more thankful to ALSW's organization system. I spoke to Angelica several times over the next month due to the Covid conditions. I went in for my first fitting mid May and they assured me that my dress would be ready for our wedding in less than 8 weeks. I worked with Kathy, who was calm, professional, respectful of social distancing and experienced. She knew exactly what alternations worked best for my designer and fabric and never led me the wrong way. I continued to work with Kathy for the next several fittings, making my dress just mine. She even added an additional fitting just to make sure the hemline was just right since I am so petite. Whenever I was in the store for my fittings, everything was always clean, everyone followed social distancing and nothing was amiss. I am so glad that I found ALSW and am confident that if my experience was not during Covid they would have also provided a top notch experience. However as a Covid bride, I can't imagine having worked with another shop. They were AMAZING!!!

My best friend got her dress at ALSW and it was such a great experience I went back a year later for mine. The store is beautiful and everyone who works there is so friendly and professional. I went with my friend to 4 other bridal salons and ...
ALSW really delivered on budget friendly gorgeous selections, I didn’t even look anywhere else when it was my turn! Olivia is absolutely fantastic and made me feel so special every time i went for fittings. They truly deliver the fancy bridal expirence, make an appointment here and you won’t regret it!!

I had the BEST experience with A Little Something White! I worked with Kim, who nailed down exactly what I was looking for- she was easygoing, knowledgeable, and patient. Her measurements were spot on because when my gown arrived, it fit me l...
ike a glove. My favorite part of ALSW is how up front they are with the entire process. They provide you with an information packet that explains the alterations- including costs, the timeline, as well as the items you need to have prior to your fittings. You receive plenty of appointment reminders to keep you on track. My seamstress Kathy was amazing- I was so happy with the alterations that she did (which was right on target with what Kim estimated it would cost). Also, Olivia and Kathy helped me coordinate a blue monogram to put inside of my dress- it was the perfect "something blue"! My Mom and I even had the change to meet the designer of my gown, Suzanne Neville, at an event at ALSW! I would recommend this store to everybody- it was my favorite experience of the wedding planning process, and I loved my dress so much!

A Little Something White was the first store my mom and I visited to look for my wedding dress. We did not have to look further. Kim’s enthusiasm was incredible. She welcomed us with open arms, positive energy, and patience. She was thorough an...
d thoughtful, and we feel so grateful that she was part of the planning process. Though it is a smaller store, they have a tremendous selection. I really liked every dress I tried on. When my entire family came back to make the final decision, she was friendly to all of us, and even my brother was impressed by the shopping experience! They run an incredibly professional operation, and you feel like your personal experience truly matters when you are there. They follow up throughout the alteration process and even the cleaning/preservation process after the wedding. I recommend ALSW to every bride I meet. Kim and the team there are as good as it gets!

Lovely boutique with professional and personalized service. My daughter had specific ideas about what she wanted for her dress, and our consultant Kim patiently gave her many options to try. They were all beautiful, but none gave my daughter ...
that 'say yes to the dress' moment. But then we experienced the ALSW difference: Kim chose a dress for her to try that was a completely different style, one we never would have picked on our own, and it turned out to be THE dress. Don't be fooled by tv shows! A Little Something White offers brides undivided attention and an enjoyable shopping experience that far surpasses the overcrowded, stressful sales machine of the big K store in NYC.

I am so thrilled to have found my dress at A Little Something White. The individuals at this shop really took the time to listen and understand exactly what I was looking for. I was encouraged to pull dresses off the rack myself while also havi...
ng the consultant pull gowns she felt fit my vision. When I started to fall in love with one of the gowns the bridal consultant took the time to pull and tug at the dress to show me exactly how it would be shaped to my body once the alterations took place. As soon as she did that I immediately had that WOW moment and knew I had found my dress! I did not feel pressured to try on gowns outside of my budget nor was my time wasted with trying on styles I knew I was not interested in. It’s a lovely shop and I am so thrilled to have found my dress there! Highly recommend visiting their website and scheduling a fitting; you won’t be disappointed.

ALSW, especially Kim, was amazing! I had bought a dress from another boutique and unfortunately, the quality of the dress was just not what was expected. With 12 weeks to go before the wedding, I was very stressed and not sure where to turn. I ...
had visited ALSW early on in the process and decided to make another trip again. Kim completely understood the situation and ensured me that the timeline we had was workable. She really helped me narrow down what I was looking for and I ended up with an absolutely perfect dress that came in just 2 weeks later! What could have been a disaster ended up barely being a blip on the radar. While other stores played coy with pricing and others were overly pushy, ALSW was none of the above. I highly recommend visiting their store, you will not be disappointed!

lming. The salon was extremely accommodating scheduling appointments and fittings, which made my life easier since I was getting married in the area but live out of town. Their recommended seamstress, Bridget, was talented, patient, and wonderful with making the dress comfortable, flattering, and beautiful. I'm thrilled with the way the dress looked in pictures and videos and loved working with A Little Something White.
