ant, Erin, went above and beyond and helped me feel comfortable trying on several different styles. After looking through my favorite dresses selected on my portal and speaking about my likes and dislikes, Erin was able to find my dream dress. After some designer-related complications with my dress, Erin and the entire White Dress by the Shore team came to my aid until the problem was fixed. During a very stressful time, I found comfort in their care and knew I was in good hands. Erin, I can’t thank you enough for all you did to make this experience a dream come true. I loved every part of being a White Dress by the Shore bride because of you and your lovely team!

We had an amazing experience at The White Dress. We had our own beautifully designed and comfortable private room. Beth asked for inspiration of what I liked and also what I didnt like, as well as my price range, and pre-pulled a ton of dresses...
to get started. She would remove or add more along the way based on what we liked and didnt like. There was such a wide selection of so many beautiful styles, thanks to Beth's fabulous taste and extensive experience and knowledge. I had full trust in her suggestions and ideas. Beth was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and made me, and the women that joined me, feel so special. The whole process was so much easier and more fun than I thought it would be, thanks to Beth and her team. She also recommended a fabulous seamstress (deMelis Aterlier). I highly recommend the White Dress!

nt and it was such a beautiful experience for my mom, mother in law and one of my bridesmaids to be there with me. I would caution that I tried on a dress during a trunk show that they typically do not have in the store. The size I tried on was the same size they measured me for and was ordered. When my dress came in it was extremely snug but my measurements were the same as when they had measured me at my original appointment. Everything ended up working out as I ended up losing weight before the big day but I would just advise that if you are trying on dresses they can be stretched depending on the material. As another callout, they do not offer alterations so you will need to find someone local once you pick-up your dress. Overall, my experience with the White Dress by the Shore staff was great and would recommend brides check them out!
Response from the Vendor on 05/30/2023
Savannah, Congratulations on your wedding! We are thrilled that you found your gown with us. Thank you for sharing your advice! It is generally best to go with the way you are measuring when you purchase the gown vs how the sample gown fits,...
as samples can stretch...especially trunk show samples, as they have a long history! As our long-time seamstress Penny retired during Covid, we are not currently offering in-house alterations until we can find someone who is up to our high standards. As we did with you, we always provide our brides with a curated list of hand-selected seamstresses specifically for your gown in your area. These are seamstresses we have fully vetted and have worked with for years (many of them used to work seasonally in our boutique!) We are thrilled that you are a #thewhitedressbytheshorebride and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

e down to the last dress that Erin had picked out because she just thought it would look good on me and that I should try it and thank God she did! It was the most gorgeous Anne Barge that I definitely would not have picked out myself but looked like it was made for me! We ended up wanting to alter the back to make it into a 'V' instead of straight across and she just texted the rep while I was still trying it on and made it happen almost immediately. Prior to this, I also got a bridesmaid dress from here and Olivia was amazing through that whole process as well! Further, I brought my dress also to get cleaned & preserved through the services they provide. They are so kind, responsive, and easy to contact and talk to. Cannot recommend this bridal boutique enough!

I came back for a second appointment and Shana was not available, so I worked with Michelle. Despite not being at my first appointment it was like she had been there the whole time and we picked right back up where we left off. She found me the perfect dress and I said YES to the dress that day. I had such a good experience that I went back for my bridesmaid dresses and even though we were on a fairly tight timeline I knew that Erin, who worked with us on those, had everything under control. Beth, the owner, even came in during our appointment to help answer a fit question. Everything we ordered came in perfectly, on time, and the communication was excellent. Everyone at The White Dress is fabulous! I will tell everyone to go there!

elegant, and timeless styles that I was looking for and because they had a wide selection of Jenny Yoo bridesmaid dresses. Booking an appointment was a breeze, and all the people who work there are very friendly and helpful. Granted I'm a pretty decisive person and I had a pretty clear vision of what I did/didn't want, but it only took me 1 shopping trip to find my dress because the stylist running my appointment listened and brought me really great options to try on. I brought my MOH with me to pick up my dress and we were able to do a bridesmaid dress appt on the same day while we were there. I'm extremely picky and they were able to help us find something we loved very quickly. All my bridesmaids ordered their dresses through TWD and had positive things to say about the service they received. Great experience all around!

I really appreciated how the stylists respected my budget throughout the whole process, and gave me plenty of time to make my final decision. They also recommended a great tailor in NYC. I have recommended many friends to TWD… my sister in law even made the trek out from Long Island to get her dress there. Highly, highly recommend!

I had an awesome experience with my stylist, Grace! I had been to a few shops and nothing was catching my eye. It was disheartening to not find the one and I was disappointed that in the past, stylists at the other shops were frustrated with me...
. Grace however, was so positive and upbeat and kept going back to take, “one more look around”. She never made me feel pressure to pick a dress or made me feel bad for not finding the “one”. I asked to try on my first dress again at the end of the appointment and fell in love! Grace let me have space to FaceTime my family and was so personable and kind throughout my appointment. Grace made choosing my dress a wonderful and positive experience- I can’t thank her enough!!

The White Dress by the Shore was the first bridal dress appointment I had, and I fell in love. I went to a few other places after that, but nothing came close to that dress or the professional and welcoming atmosphere of The White Dress by the...
Shore. They made me feel comfortable and really made sure that I was staying true to myself and not getting swayed by the many opinions in the room. They were helpful and responsive to my follow up questions and emails prior to purchasing the dress. We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, but throughout it all Beth was so flexible and accommodating. She rescheduled my fittings to make sure I would look and feel amazing on my Wedding Day. There was a bit of an issue with the dress caused by cleaning (due to it being a sample), but I completely put my trust in Beth and she definitely delivered. I wasn’t worried at any point because she exudes confidence and for good reason. Beth was professional, responsive and supportive. The dress was absolutely perfect. I had a lot of alterations made to the dress and the seamstress created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Beyond the dress, the seamstress created a gorgeous veil from the lace on my Mother’s wedding gown. It was so special to me and a real showstopper. I received countless compliments on the veil and when I told people it was once my Mother’s dress they were blown away. I highly recommend The White Dress by the Shore!

f me, was an attentive listener to all my opinions, and helped me sort through my own confusion. She was respectful of my budget and was careful not even say the amount of the dresses out loud to the wider group without my permission. Sorting through a lookbook in advance allowed Olivia to pull beautiful dresses for me in advance and ensure I made the most of my 90 minutes. My group of tough customers (mom, sister, aunt and grandma) were all impressed with TWD's professionalism throughout and their range of offerings--quality dresses at a variety of prices. To anyone starting out -- I found the bigger stores in the CT area a waste of time-- I didn't get the same level of professionalism, knowledge, customer service, attentiveness to detail or quality of dresses. While I didn't get "the dress" here (found it at a store with similar vibes in Darien), I highly recommend coming here, you will undoubtedly start off on a high note.

eing warm and welcoming. It's got a classic, feminine decor with beautiful New England touches (hard woods, beautiful stone fireplace, etc.). So, at first sight, you're in a beautiful space. The selection that you'll find is so balanced, there is something for everyone that comes in and you won't feel like you're sacrificing if you're more budget conscious (you'll still be in a reputable designer in a gorgeous dress made with fine fabrics/textiles). Not only do they have a wide range of prices, but they have so many amazing styles and Beth the salon owner (who I'll get to in a moment) has such an eye for how the dress can be customized during alterations. Ok, so space - check, dresses/designers - check, price range - check. The stylists you'll meet are sweet, personal and personable, they listen, they want you to feel amazing and they have vision! They are not pushy...ever! Even after you've tried on too many dresses and are feeling confused, they are patient and helpful. They are women you feel are friends after two hours! Penny who does the alterations at the White Dress is sweet, she listens and she is incredibly skilled. Beth is the best in the business and I shopped in Boston, NY and lots of places in between. What you get with Beth is someone who gets excited with you, helps you make decisions for you, shares in the process and has style, vision and the ability to make beautiful things come to life!

TO try it on. I found out about a HP trunk show last minute and was able to make my appointment with only 2 days notice. They were able to accommodate a large group of my family and bridesmaids in the fabulous upstairs room and were incredibly friendly and helpful. My consultant pulled about 6 dresses for me - a mix of Hayley Paige gowns from the trunk show and others that they have at the shop regularly - and despite the small sample sizes not fitting my plus-size body, she was able to give me a great idea of how they would look on me in the end. Turns out the Behati gown WAS the dress for me and because of the trunk show, I got it at 10% off. The fitting/alteration process went smoothly thanks to their extended hours on Thursday evenings (but cost a bit more than I initially planned for) and I picked my dress up a few weeks before the wedding. I can't imagine having a better dress experience anywhere else - would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to purchase a designer gown for their big day.

I did however need to think about it due to my curiosity of what other boutiques would carry. I can honestly say, after shopping around, there was no comparison. From the friendliness and professionalism, to the way the merchandise was handled with such care to the genuine and truthful opinions offered with each dress I tried on.
