Dorota designed my wedding gown and it was everything I dreamed of! My friends and family told me that it was perfect for me, and it truly was. Dorota listened to my ideas and executed a beautiful gown. The dress fit like a glove, as she promised! I hope every bride will go to Dorota and have an amazing and personalized experience--it is so worth it. She is kind, patient and extremely talented! A'Dor Couture is the best!
Dorota is truly amazing at what she does. This was my 3rd bridal appointment and by far the best one. Her attention to detail and knowledge is above everyone else. I cannot wait for my first fitting in a few months!!!
I cannot recommend Dorota and Adore Couture enough!!! In such a short amount of time (3 months), Dorota created my dream dress tailored exactly to every inch of my body! She exceeded all my expectation and beyond!!
All my sessions with her were private and I never felt rushed! She did such an amazing job on my dress that I want to wear it nonstop even after the wedding!
I can’t thank her enough for my dream dress, I felt so beautiful and received so many compliments on my dress!! Her dress made me feel the special way you hope to feel on your big day!!!
Dorota is one of a kind. The experience, the dresses, everything was more than I could ever ask for. I'm so happy I came across her business. Dorota is the designer and owner and takes a lot of pride in her work. She is different from any other bridal boutique. You get to work with Dorota 1:1 and really customize a dress to your exact liking. Her prices are very reasonable and you definitely get the most out of the experience. She is not pushy and doesn't make it awkward if you walk out empty handed. She was the first place I visited and I fell in love with the very first dress but felt that was just too quick so I left, did some more shopping and within a week I was back putting a deposit down. I was close to tears picking up my dress, not just because I had the most perfect gown but I also knew I would miss working with her after stopping in throughout the past year for adjustments. She became family and I had everyone going to her for alterations, advice, etc. This will be your spot to find the perfect dress, I can promise you that.
My dress was out of a fairytale and everything I wanted. Dorota is amazing and is a design LEGEND!
When I had my first consultation with Dorota, I knew I had to have my wedding dress done at A’Dor Couture! Dorota uniquely hand crafts every dress and customizes it to each brides desires. She makes sure every detail is perfect. She is truly a gem! I cannot recommend A’dor Couture enough!!
Go here for your wedding dress!!! Dorota is my hero. On the morning of my wedding, I had red lipstick on the front of my dress. I called Dorota and she walked me through step by step to get it out. Worked like a charm! She is so talented and will make sure your dress is everything you want. Worth every penny. Thank you A’Dor Couture!!
I can not say enough amazing things about Dorota and A’Dor Couture! I’ve always had a hard time shopping, and was very nervous about the wedding dress process. From start to finish, Dorota made me feel comfortable and beautiful. You truly have a personalized and private experience. At the first fitting, she put together several of her previous designs to create a dress custom-made for me. She will make your dreams come true, and create the most BEAUTIFUL perfect dress for your body. I tried a few other shops before seeing Dorota, and nowhere else comes close. You can tell this is Dorota’s passion, and she really cares about her brides. She is also so kind, welcoming, and incredibly patient. There is no place better to get your wedding gown. Run don’t walk!
Dorota is the most talented, understanding, patient, and kind-hearted person to work with. My experience at A’Dor Couture was nothing short of exquisite from start to finish. Dorota helped me create the dress of my dreams by putting together parts of four different dresses she had already created. The process was intricate and absolutely seamless! Her attention to detail is outstanding and resulted in a dress that was so me and fit me like a glove. Not only did she create the dress of my dreams she also took the time to design and make a dress for my mom as well. We both got to feel so stunning and comfortable on the biggest day of my life. Words will never be able to express how blessed and genuinely thankful my mom and I feel to have been able to work with Dorota!
Getting my wedding dress from A'dor Couture was the best decision. Dorota made the dress of my DREAMS and it turned out incredible. She is extremely organized and I never had to worry for a second that anything would go wrong. She is extremely talented!! Highly recommend this bridal shop and Dorota.
Dorota, I can't thank you enough for the absolutely beautiful job you did! You made my wedding dress experience amazing and for that I am so grateful. Thank you for taking such good care of me and for making me a beautiful bride. A'Dor Couture deserves more than 5 stars. For all the Brides to be, make this your first stop because you will for sure say "Yes To The Dress". Thanks again!
Love A’dor Couture! Cant wait to get to wear my custom made wedding dress. Patient, caring, and kind! Took all of my thoughts and likes and put them into my dress.
Dorota is a genius. She has an incredible eye for detail, really knows what she is doing, and is so kind and thoughtful. Her prices are so reasonable too. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day. She also designed and made my mom's dress for the big day! She is amazing and you should definitely support her top quality business!
Words cannot and will not ever express how grateful and blessed I feel to have had Dorota create my wedding dress of my dreams!! She works with you and your schedule. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She is so easy to work with and really listens to your every want and need. Thank you Dorota for everything, you are a true magician and artist!! 😍💕💖
Dorota is an absolute treasure. From the minute I walked in she was inviting and very knowledgeable. Her talent can’t be matched. I’m so happy that I found her to give me the dress of my dreams and make me feel beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my dress and the alterations of my mother’s dress.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at A'dor. Dorota is incredible, patient and understanding, when I've reached out with wanting to change things and an unexpected weight gain. Dorota and her team are absolutely amazing.
Choosing A'Dor Couture and working with Dorota has been the best decision in all my wedding planning! After visiting so many different bridal boutiques, the second I stepped into A'Dor, I felt welcomed and knew my vision could become a reality. Dorota has made the process so easy and has gone out of her way to make sure every small detail is perfect. I highly recommend every bride choose A'Dor Couture, even if they are out of state, like me! This has been a 10/10 experience.
A'Dor Couture has the most beautiful and elegant wedding dresses. I have had the pleasure of the past few months of working with Dorota, the designer. As Miss Polonia Connecticut 2020, I am completely honored to have the chance to wear Dorota's exquisite gowns to my competitions as well as various celebrations. I am constantly complimented on the dresses I wear and their incredible detailing. Dorota is completely dedicated to the work she does, which makes buying your dress at A'Dor Couture even more special. Every time I walk into the boutique, I am blown away by her creativity and ability to successfully design various wedding dress styles. From sexy to elegant to simple to traditional, whatever you have in mind, she will have the perfect dress for you to make you feel beautiful on your special day. I highly recommend coming to A'Dor Couture and allowing them be a part of your wedding experience!
I highly recommend this bridal shop! Dorota is so talented, friendly, and makes you feel at home. From my first appointment my mom, grandma, moh and I had the studio all to ourselves and were treated to champagne and macaroons. The process was so special and beautiful. I wanted a bottom with a different top to the dress and Dorota made me a completely custom gown in the material I wanted for an INCREDIBLE price within my budget with ALL ALTERATIONS included! She listened to all of my needs throughout the fittings. The dress is made for my body and was created using a muslin fitting first. The dress and veil are absolutely gorgeous and no one will have the same dress as me. It’s perfect and I cannot wait for my wedding! THANK YOU DOROTA!!!!!
I am so happy that I found my dress at A’Dor Couture. Dorota and her assistant truly made my wedding dress shopping experience a memorable one. Their knowledge, professionalism, friendliness, and responsiveness are second to none. I constantly found myself stuck between two dresses at other locations thinking “if only the designer paired that bottom with this top”. I was shocked to learn at A’Dor Couture I had the opportunity to work with the designer on the pattern, material of the dress, shape of the dress, etc. Dorota’s assistant was so well prepared for my appointment, she was able to use an app on her phone to show us what the changes would like, though I ended up falling in love with a dress without making any changes to it. Dorota’s dresses are unique and one of a kind and I promise you will have a fabulous experience regardless of making a purchase.
Dorota and Haley were absolutely AMAZING! From the moment I spoke with Dorota over the phone, I knew I would get the dress that I wanted from A'Dor Couture. Dorota is very passionate and knowledgeable about what she does. I told the ladies my must haves (long sleeves, form fitting, slit, lace, and pockets) Dorota was able to nail 4 out 5 must haves, I think that is really impressive. Dorota didn't rush me and even had me try on something that she was working on for her new line. I definitely CAN NOT wait to see the finished product. My friend who was with me also decided during my visit that she would have Dorota design her wedding dress as well.
Such a great experience working with Dorota. I purchased all my wedding accessories from A'Dor and so glad I did (veil, tiara, belt). Everything was high quality and perfect. Dorota has beautiful items and truly cares about her customers. Her shop is so pretty and clean. She handmade my veil and you could see how high quality her work is.
I had the most wonderful experience at A'dor Coture! My dress was handmade to perfection for my special day. The detail and material is absolutely gorgeous. Exceeded my expectations. 10 out of 10.
Dorota was wonderful and helped me create a dress and style that I wanted and loved. Very professional and caring.
We had an amazing experience at A'Dor Couture! Dorota is so knowledgable and kind. Her dresses are incredibly beautiful and she provides very personalized assistance. I would highly recommend A'Dor Couture to anyone shopping for a wedding dress!
Such a wonderful experience! They really listened to my needs and wants as a bride to be heard. A great place to go and really down to earth!
A’Dor Couture has been wonderful in helping me create the perfect dress for my wedding! Everyone there is gracious and more then wonderful! I will refer every bride to be I know!- Melissa Matula the future Mrs. Englisch
We had a wonderful experience at A'Dor Couture trying on dresses! The owner and designer helped us personally and was fabulous. I was super indecisive about what I wanted and she worked with me to help me find something that was absolutely perfect. It was private and intimate. Throughout the whole process, I felt that my concerns were heard.
Dorota is incredible!! Her attention to detail is unmatched and her designs are incredible! She makes every effort to have every bride’s vision come to fruition and has such a great eye! Her shop is super cute and clean as well! I have been trying to send every newly engaged bride here!
A’Dor was an amazing experience! The shop has unique styles that can be customized in the store. Dorota was so knowledgeable and helpful and made the dress buying process so much fun!
My experience with Dorota has been unique and one of a kind! She is detailed, patient and extremely helpful. I couldn’t be happier with my choice and experience at A’Dor Couture!
Where can I even begin? I could not thank A'Dor Couture & Dorota enough for everything they did to make my wedding absolutely perfect.
I had come to Dorota with three different dresses / styles that I had loved and I just NEEDED to somehow combine! Every dress shop that I went to and every dress that I had put on was just so "been there done that", not really fitting my body right, the consultation hosts were blah - I even went to Kleinfields and I can honestly say nothing beats the experience at A'Dor Couture.
Dorota took my ideas and created a custom dress, made specifically for me, my body type & walked me through every part of the process. From the sketches, to fabric choices, from even ordering sample beading work to make sure we had it absolutely perfect - she included me and guided me through every decision that needed to get made. Even when I felt like something needed to get changed, she brought in every resource she had to make sure I felt absolutely PERFECT in my dress!
My mom accompanied me to one of the first fittings for the Muslin (they fit the piece of fabric just to get a base of the wedding dress) and she was in SHOCK seeing how happy I was - I put this blank piece of fabric on but I could tell, this was going to be IT! The fact that Dorota could do that with one piece of fabric after I had tried on hundreds of dresses.... is amazing.
I can tell you, she worked endlessly to make sure it was perfect - texting and consulting with me late night if I had any questions or concerns, fitting me in for fittings around MY schedule - sewing, changing and then re-doing back to the original way because I was a crazy bride - anything she could do to accommodate me.
More importantly, she made me feel right at home. We became friends through the entire process, and I just knew she was the only one I could trust to make my dreams come true.
Not only did she make my gown, but she also made a custom dress for my daughter as well! It was the most perfect dress I have ever seen - to the lace detail, clip on bow - so elegant and sheer perfection.
Dorota is extremely professional, her shop is stunning & her work is flawless. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else but to her!
Thank you Dorota for all that you did for me - my wedding was an absolute fairytale thanks to you. XO
Dorota was fantastic! She made me feel so comfortable and didn’t pressure me to buy any given dress. I found the perfect dress! And I LOVE that alterations are included/the dress is made specifically for me.
The owner is amazing at what she does. Passionate and insightful. This was my second appointment at a bridal shop so at first I was hesitant and overwhelmed by a previous fitting at another shop, but Dorota won me over. She listened to everything I said and put me in a dress that ended up being exactly what I wanted. I am so excited to wear my custom made to fit dress on my big day!
Excellent and very personable, I can’t recommend enough! I am so happy with the customizations available and it’s just so nice to be in the hands of experts!
The material of my dress is so soft and comfortable. The staff is so nice and I can’t wait to see the final product.
All of the dresses are stunning and are locally designed and made. They can be customized however and Dorota is so sweet and a joy to work with!!!
My experience with A'dor Couture was beyond phenomenal.
I won't lie, part of me was dreading the whole wedding dress shopping experience because of prior misconceptions that were further engrained by wedding stereotypes presented in the media. A family friend, however, recommended that my mom and I check out A'dor Couture in Southport; I will be forever thankful for that recommendation.
I was a bit nervous at first because my wedding date was coming up quickly, yet I still had not found the perfect dress. I made an appointment with the boutique and upon our arrival, my mom, maid of honor and I were very impressed with the way A'dor Couture looked. We were instantly made to feel at home in our surroundings and everything was kept to high safety standards- in terms of the awful Covid epidemic that has befallen the world.
Upon meeting the owner/designer, Dorota, and seeing how passionate she was about her craft, I knew that this was the woman I wanted to create my wedding dress. Dorota's designs are very captivating and unique all the while remaining very timeless and classic. I knew that I personally wanted something with a Bohemian, yet Old Hollywood feel and their were so many options that met my specific parameters.
Honestly, all the dresses she showed us were incredibly well thought out in design and function, but I finally tried on one of her Fall 2020 designs and it was absolutely perfect. When I looked at myself in the mirror-- I knew this dress was the one. Dorota told us that she was able to customize any of her designs. so I was able to add on long sleeves and a closed back to her already beautiful wedding dress template.
I truly never thought I would actually find my absolute dream dress, but Polish/American Designer, Dorota, made it happen and was able to get everything done in time for my Halloween wedding date. I will forever be thankful to Dorota and Expert Seamstress Theresa for making my wedding dress dreams come true.
I said Yes to the dress at A’Dore Couture! Dorota, it was truly amazing to meet you. I loved my experience at your beautiful boutique. You made my special guests and I feel very welcomed. Your patience, knowledge and, great personality made my wedding dress shopping experience so much more than I could have imagined. I’m so excited to know that I’ll be wearing a one of a kind piece on my special day and, it was all thanks to A’Dore Couture! Thank you!
Honestly I cannot say enough great things about A’Dor Couture! Dorota is nothing short of amazing- she is kind, caring, patient, and SO knowledgeable. As soon as you arrive she is there to greet you. Dorota welcomes you into her shop and really makes the whole experience personal. She asks about the wedding and listens to the brides likes/dislikes. Dorota is passionate about her work and truly cares about the bride. I am so excited to be wearing a CUSTOMIZED, but affordable, A’Dor Couture own. There’s literally no where else I would have found my gown and I have confidence that Dorota will not stop until my gown is flawless and everything I’ve dreamed it to be. Thank you for helping me find my perfect dress!! I said YES to the dress today & I am so excited!!
They are making the dress of my dreams come true and I couldn't be more excited about the dress itself, but the attention to detail and care she puts into not only the dress but my happiness along with my wants/needs is exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
Amazing, beautiful dresses! Dorota is professional, lovely & welcoming. It’s a brides dream! I cant wait to pick up final dress in a few!
Thank you for helping me to find the perfect dress! Your patience and real presence were just what I needed to help me make the right decision. You offered much more than I could have hoped for and I could not have been happier with the dress that I chose! Thanks for everything!
A’Dor Couture made my short dress for my wedding reception. I came to Dorota with a vision - a combination of a long dress I loved (that didn’t fit me well) with some personal touches. I had several fittings and each time Dorota was so meticulous about the fit and the look. We built the dress together step by step and it turned out to be absolutely perfect.
A'Dor couture will give you all the bridal feels! They have an amazing selection of dresses and veils, ALL are high quality. It is all made in the U.S. so you do not have to worry about shipping delays from other countries. PLUS they can take a top you like from one dress and a bottom from another to make one seamless dress. Ladies, that is a very hard find! This place is a gem.
I brought my wedding dress to A’Dor Couture to be fitted and it came out better than I expected. They took a dress I liked and turned it into a dress I loved on my short timeline. Thank you, thank you!!
I highly recommend buying your wedding dress at A’Dor, the attention to detail is of the utmost importance to this wonderful dress shop. Dorita makes you feel like a princess/queen, from start to finish. She takes her craft seriously and you can tell she loves her work, bc it is apparent in all her gorgeous designs and dresses. I absolutely love my wedding dress. Thank you Dorita for making me feel so special, while also making me look beautiful for my wedding day.
Dorota was absolutely wonderful to work with! My dress is absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend!
My experience was horrible, In the beginning it was okay, but once designing my custom dress with Dorota it was a disaster. I didn’t get what I wanted in a dress. We had verbally made plans on the way dress should look like and how much it would cost, but once it came around to what the dress actually looked like it wasn’t what I had envisioned when we first discussed it. I told her I wanted to fix it and she said that it would be a few thousand dollars more. So we did minor changes. When we made the deal she said it wouldn’t cost anything if I wanted to change it, because it was verbally planned.
After I picked up my dress, the boutique also posted my dress before I even wore it and my fiancé who wasn’t supposed to see the dress saw it because he follows their Instagram page. When they posted the dress I noticed someone was wearing my CUSTOM dress. They said it was to “fix” the zipper, but Dorota, the women who put on my dress, is probably a size or two bigger than me, why is she fixing a dress for someone else, on her body if she is not the one wearing it. I made my self available plenty of times I live less than ten minutes from her store and told her to text me if she every needed me to try the dress even for minor work. We are also amid the COVID-19 PANDEMIC and her husband had the illness and she thought that it was okay to put on dress that is not for her. When I spoke to her via the phone she said, “I thought it wouldn’t be an issue,”.
I asked her to return the dress and have yet to hear from her.
I absolutely love A’Dor Couture and the women who work here. I am a bride who is getting married August 7,2020 and my experience with Dorota and her team have been Amazing.
She has custom made my dream wedding dress to fit my body like a glove! She was patient (even through the pandemic) to make sure that whatever plans I had for my big day fell through! She is an amazing person all around and has an inventory of dresses for women of all sizes and styles.
I 100% Recommend her for any person including mothers of bride and flower girls to purchase their dress from A’Dor Couture. You will not be disappointed.
There are no words to describe how amazing A’dor Couture is! Dorota pays such great attention to every single detail and listens to every and all suggestions. My dress is absolutely breathtaking and I cannot wait to show it off! This was the first and only place I went, and I recommend all my friends/family that is getting married go here as well!
Had an incredible experience with dorota at her flagship store! The shop is beautiful and clean and she took every precaution to make us feel safe during this pandemic crisis. Her gowns are stunning, and you can see the high quality and thought that went into each dress. Dorota is also the designer and opened up limitless potential and possibilities with each dress. Having the designer with you as you try on dresses is such an amazing experience because she helps show you all possibilities and lends her expertise in selecting the perfect gowns. If you are looking for a super special, personal dress experience, look no further! Working with dorota is a must!
Dorota and her team are simply the best. She provides the bride with one on one attention during all appointments. Always so supportive and looking to help make planning a wedding easy. Her dresses are all high quality and custom made, ensuring the perfect fit.
My dress was absolutely gorgeous. Dorota and her team make high quality and beautiful dresses. The first fitting was a blast! She helped me so much and focused on only me which made it a really personal experience and made me feel special. Dorota really cares about you! She makes the dress exactly to your body which creates a fit made perfectly just for you! I do not think you will find a better fit than how she makes the dress for you. I have received so many compliments about me dress and still am. I felt amazing on my wedding day it was thanks to that dress!!! It was the greatest feeling ever! I HIGHLY recommend!!
I had a great experience at A’Dor Couture. The appointment was private without any additional charges. I had 2h to try any dresses I want. The designer Dorota was really helpful to explain me all the details of the dress I choose. I highly recommend that place to all the Brides.
Dorota’s work is so beautiful! Everything looked absolutely perfect, and she was so pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her to all my brides.
Fantastic experience. Dorota is super nice, patient and worked with me to create my dream dress. You are missing out if you don't look there for all your bridal needs!! Amazing!
I came into the store just to look around and see what they have to offer and I ended up saying YES to my DREAM DRESS! I decided to combine three dresses together. Dorota sat down with me, drew everything out and answered all my questions. She worked with my budgets and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this place!
Cannot recommend this place enough. Dorota's store is beautiful. I tried on 6 different dresses and decided to combine the two of them to make my wedding dress unique and exactly what I pictured. She was patient and worked with me throughout the whole process. THANK YOU DOROTA!
5 stars! Dorota was so warm & helpful the minute we walked in! She helped me find the most important dress I will ever buy. The dresses are high quality and the prices are very reasonable. So happy with the service here!
