Kathy does amazing work. She does her alterations quickly and is extremely accommodating! I went to kathy after another seamstress tried to alter my dress and was not able to make...
it fit properly after 3 fittings with only 5 week left before my wedding day. Kathy scheduled me quickly for a consultation, relieved my stress about the time crunch and made the dress seem like it was made to fit me in only one fitting! She is truly amazing, I am so grateful to her for all of her help. And she even charged me much less than the initial seamstress. I would highly recommend Kathy!!
After trying on numerous dresses and going to several places! A friend recommended I get my dress hand made! Best recommendation ever!! Kathy made my dream wedding dress! Thank you...

I recently had my wedding dress made by Kathy and the experience was such a pleasure from start to finish. She created mine and my moms dresses so beautifully, we must’ve gotten a ...
hundred compliments. They were really above and beyond our expectations! Thank you Kathy for creating the wedding dress of my dreams❤️
(Kathy made a flower girl dress for me as a child- almost 15 years ago and that was beautiful too. Looking forward to going back to Kathy for many years to come!)
After going to at least ten bridal shops, I had almost given up on the fire engine red dress that I wanted for my wedding. Her shop was the last shop I stopped in and when she sai...
d they could make it from scratch I was so excited! I got to pick out everything and Kathy and Brittany were so patient and kind. I loved my dress so much that I had her make my niece her dress as well. Kathy and Brittany were amazing and made me feel so comfortable and confident. I will ONLY ever recommend her and go to her for any future events!
I wish I could give a 10 star review. Our experience with Kathy was beyond amazing. We have a super picky unique bride and Kathy went above and beyond altering the dress a dozen ti...
mes until the bride was satisfied. All while staying under budget. She’s such a sweet encouraging woman to work with. Her work is awesome. Would highly recommend.
Kathy is wonderful. She did a great job with my wedding dress and Brittney was very helpful! I had a custom non traditional wedding dress and she made it beautiful. I am very happy...

My mother had an EXTREMELY NEGATIVE experience with this establishment. My mother decided she wanted to have a custom-made dress for my wedding. Kathy designed and made a dress for...
my mother and it came out horrible. When we voiced our concerns to Kathy, both her and her assistant Brittany were rude. They even lied to us by claiming that they sent a sample of the fabric to us prior to making the dress. We never received this sample or a phone call from Kathy when the fabric came in. Kathy finally agreed to make a new dress for my mother since the first one she made was beyond unacceptable. Well guess what, the second dress that she made was just as bad!! When my mother showed up for her fitting, Kathy was 45 minutes late to the appointment. Kathy didn’t even have the decency to apologize for being so late. The quality of Kathy’s work was horrendous and not worth the money that my mother paid. If you are looking for a quality dress and to be treated with respect, don’t step foot in this store.
Kathy is fantastic!
Kathy was so amazing to work with. I had the most difficult time finding a dress for my wedding until I met Kathy. Kathy listened to exactly what I wanted in a gown and designed it...
. Kathy created my dream dress and it was absolutely perfect. Kathy showed me a variety of material options going over what the cost of each would be. She worked within the parameters of my budget. I am so grateful! Highly Recommend.
Choosing to have my wedding dress made was a nerve racking, seemingly risky decision but Kathy and her assistant Brittany were so sweet, patient, confident, and talented that any f...
ear melted away. Kathy has the experience and skill to make just about anything. In the Connecticut sea of strapless, sweetheart neckline, poofy gowns, I was struggling to find the style I wanted, which was a very fitted, bohemian style lace gown with an extremely low back. Kathy was able to create this gown for me while fitting like a glove the first time I even put it on, with the comfort of a nightgown and a price to put all other bridal shops out of business. I cannot believe I will be walking down the aisle in a custom dress made just for me. Since working with Kathy, and as a professional in the bridal business myself, I have been steering brides this route ever since. If you can picture your dream dress, I'd strongly recommend you let Kathy create it.
Kathy designed my bridesmaid dresses for our July 1st weeding in Newport. I came to her with a really specific idea and she totally nailed it! The dresses were so unique and fit ea...
ch girl perfectly. She also designed a special MOB dress for my mom and she looked and felt amazing! Thank you Kathy!
I just worked with Kathy Faber designing a dress for my sons wedding. As mother of the groom I couldn't seem to find in a store exactly what I wanted. Either it didn't come in a co...
lor I wanted or was sleeveless when I wanted a sleeve. We picked lace and material but I still felt i wanted some sparkle to my gown. Kathy worked with me and found the perfect sequin underlay fabric for my dress. She vowed to make me happy and she sure did. I felt so beautiful on this special day with all of my family and friends telling me I looked stunning. My dress fit like a glove with my final alterations one week before the wedding. I was losing weight and she even accommodated me with that. She is a true professional with so much vision and a drive to make her customers happy. This was a true experience for me. I have three more children and you can bet that Kathy Faber will be my dress designer when they get married. Go to her store in Bristol CT you will be so impressed with her designs. SHE'S THE BEST!!!
Kathy Faber is spectacular. I am a plus size woman and wanted a formal gown to attend a gala that I am on the committee for. I showed her a photo of a dress I saw online and we dis...
cussed colors and fabrics. The price was beyond reasonable and my dress was amazing. Her boutique also had the most amazing selection of jewelry, purses, and shoes so I was able to get everything I needed in one place. I would definitely recommend Kathy.
Kathy made me a beautiful gown that I couldn't have been happier with. All I did was show her a few images of dress styles I liked and she sketched a few designs then created the d...
ress. I was amazed when I tried the gown and it was exactly what I wanted and more!
My bridesmaid dress zipper broke the day of the wedding. When I went for my last fitting I told them it was tight and they said it was fine and dissmissive.
I don't even know where to start! Kathy is beyond amazing and she made all my dreams come true! I went to her with a picture of a dress and she made it even better than I could ima...
gine. We also used my sisters wedding dress to make mine and it is so unbelievably stunning I wish I could wear it daily! Kathy is so kind and she listens to everything you want and she was so patient. Her assistant Brittany was just as amazing! This was the best decision I have ever made and it made the wedding that much more special. If you want something special and unique Kathy is the way to go!
