Like many trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic - after changing plans four times, my partner and I decided to take 2020 back and elope. I had originally wanted to get a custo...m dress made (I'm over 6' and have long limbs), but with this new plan I had to find a dress in a matter of six weeks. I found some (begrudgingly) that I thought would fit my picky taste - and the closest shop that carried them was Country Bridals. An hour and a half each way from me. It's my wedding day, who cares about the drive - let's make the appointment. From beginning to end I worked with Elicia and honestly, she was a pleasure to work with. She pulled a ton of dresses for me - and when I tried on my #1 pick first and uh, hated it - she had plenty for me to try on. I am not great at trying on clothes, nevermind something this important, and I get uncomfortable with feeling like "a burden" - despite my anxiety, Elicia made sure that I was comfortable and that the appointment was going smoothly throughout my 90 minute appointment. Ironically, I found a dress that I never would have picked out - and fell in love with it. (You hear things like that - that you'll 'know' when you find the dress - I always thought it sounded corny, but looking in the mirror that first time - I knew). To make a long review shorter - I had to make two more trips (alterations, and then final try on) to Jaffrey and I can truly say that those 9 hours of driving were worth it. (Even after googling my dress after my appt and realizing that my dress I had just ordered was in a shop 5 minutes from me - that's how much I liked Country Bridals). They take covid seriously, they're affordable, and the alterations were done well and very quickly. I cannot recommend them enough - if my driving that much for a dress I could have gotten closer isn't an indicator, I don't know what is. Thank you again, Elicia and staff!
