What Our New York Brides Are Saying

“I had such a wonderful experience at the wedding dresser for my dress alterations. Susan, Indigo, and every other team member I encountered were so welcoming and kind, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed going to every appointment. They listened to me, answered any questions I had, made the whole process stress-free from start to finish, and most importantly they did a beautiful job on my dress. I can’t wait to share photos of my big day with them. Thank you to Susan and her whole incredible team!”

“Susan and her team saved my wedding dress! We came to her in a panic less than 2 weeks before my wedding and everything was executed so perfectly. I wanted to cry tears of joy! I cannot express how thankful I am for Susan, Gabby, Indigo... The whole team! They are all truly talented. Thank you, Wedding Dresser!.”

"The wedding dresser helped me be the FOURTH woman in my family to wear this dress (which hadn't been preserved/touched since the 80s). All along the way, they put great and detailed care into the dress, checking in with me throughout to make sure I was happy with the final product. They listened to my thoughts and concerns and offered creative ideas to keep improving - even in our last fittings after the initial alterations were done. I couldn't be happier with the results! Pictured - my first fitting and the final result."
—Emma C.
