The White Gown

Got my dress here. Beautiful dresses and they treat you like a bride. Alterations were also perfect. Def should visit.

The perfect shop to find your dress.I had the best experience at the White Gown in Brooklyn. The staff was consistently wonderful, every single time I was there. Not only was the staff who helped me find my dress kind and helpful, their seamstress was so pleasant and talented! They have a beautiful selection of dresses of all different styles. I am so happy that I walked by their store after visiting a friend and decided to make an appointment. They give you personal attention, unlike some of the larger stores I visited in the city. I recommend them to everyone!

I always wanted to go to a bridal boutique rather than a David's Bridal for my wedding gown so when I finally got engaged I searched around and found The White Gown! Being from Brooklyn made my experience more enjoyable knowing I bought my wedding dress from a Brooklyn Boutique. The location is great. It was the first boutique I went to and I really enjoyed all the attention the staff was giving me and my sister when we came for our appointment from the first time I stepped foot in The White Gown till I picked up my dress before the wedding. They were so knowledgeable when it came to designers that made me so confident when explaining what style I wanted. I bought my veil there as well and I definitely couldn't be more happier with the service your staff has provided me!!! I would recommend them to everyone of my friends and family. My seamstress Shioban was amazing. She fit my dress to my body so well that it looked like my dress was made just for me! All NYC brides should check out The White Gown. You won't be disappointed!

I purchased my dress from the White Gown in Brooklyn a year before the wedding. When I went back to have it fitted I wanted a few major alterations done to it- train removed and some of the "pouff" taken our of the hips. They were very accomodating about this and at the 2nd fitting I was very happy with the way the dress looked. I was told that all that needed to be done was the hem finished up and I would be able to take the dress with me at the 3rd fitting. Because of the hurricane I was unable to make it for a 3rd fitting before the wedding and the dress was shipped to my wedding destination. However, when i opened the bag the lace was ripped and the hem was jagged and unfinished. I had to take it to a dress maker 2 days before the wedding to try to use fishing line to fix the lace. Not only was the hem unfinished, but it was still a few inches too long. I spent the whole night stepping on my dress. The wedding was absolutely magical, but getting my dress from the white gown was my only regret.

I love my dress and the White Gown. The fittings were on time, quick and simple. The tailor is fabulous, efficient and very professional.

I had a wonderful experience at the White Gown. They had a wide range of options for being a smaller boutique. I found my dress after trying on about 3 others. The staff is extremely kind and calm as the whole process of finding a dress can be nerve-wracking. I had to have my dress shortened and have some boning put in the bodice. All the alterations were done well and on time. I should also say that I had lace work on my gown which had to be moved and altered and the seamstress did such an incredible job, the dress didn't look as if it had been touched at all!I'm almost sad I don't have an excuse to go back anymore!

We bought our bridesmaid dresses from The White Gown. The had a wide variety of dresses, fabrics and colors from which to choose. Although the price wasn't the lowest in the area, the dresses were beautiful and the way in which the staff treated their customers were well worth the cost

I loved my entire experience at The White Gown. The store is easy to get to and has flexible hours. It is a beautiful studio in the middle of a warehouse district. The staff is wonderful and I ended up buying a second dress (and the only one I wore at my wedding) because they were so kind and helpful. Their seamstress is an absolute dream. She knew exactly what to do for the construction of my dress, helped me find a place to buy the undergarments I needed, and made everything fit perfectly. She was even able to custom design a veil to match my dress and was flexible in the price for me!

I was very pleased with my gown. The seamstress was amazing. The staff was generally very helpful and friendly. It was clear that they had a definite interest in making the bride happy. This is a very small boutique, so there were times when I couldn't get ahold of them, or they weren't open when I stopped by (they are by appt. only). For a sometimes jittery bride, that wasn't ideal. But the personal attention and friendliness during appointments made up for this. They were also very good about working with me on appointment times to accommodate my work schedule. The value was also great. I shopped at around a dozen bridal salons and felt that the cost of the dress and alterations was very reasonable.

I bought my dress here. The staff and seamstress were very helpful and professional. My only issue with my dress is that its American bustle kept breaking. I actually prefer French, but we agreed American looked better for this particular dress. Not sure if it was the weight of my dress or not. They taught me how to bustle which was very straightforward, but as soon as I started really moving on the wedding day the button popped. So we kept moving the bustle up. Lost 4 buttons all night. I ended up holding my train most of the time. Seems like something should have been anticipated by the shop.

The dress I have ordered was very well taken care of. The seamstress was amazing. They did not call me when the dress came, I had to call to ask. When I went for 1st fitting no one informed me that they have changed the address. I think that they should pay more attention to costumers.

The owner, John, is wonderful and his biggest priority is making the bride happy and feel beautiful. They had the cutest space in DUMBO behind REBAR, which I enjoyed going to - such a cool funky space. They have since moved, and I haven't seen the new place, but I'm sure it is just a beautiful. I purchased my gown at one of their sample sales, a great deal! It was a very classic looking dress (similar to ones for $2-3k I've seen elsewhere) for ~$600. Do ask about specifics for alterations when you buy though. Because I am short and the beadwork at the bottom of the dress would have been destroyed by a normal hem, the dress had to be altered from the waist - a lot of work and thus very expensive, which was a surprise I didn't expect.Their seamstress did an AMAZING job and they worked with me to make sure everything was taken care of. Do your homework on alterations that would be needed and pricing before deciding on a sample - that way there are no unexpected surprises, but know that if you do find a gown you love here, you'll be in very good and caring hands.

The White Gown is a small boutique with a fairly small collection of dresses, but what they have really spans the gamut. I got my dress from one of their sample sales (sign up for emails) and it was a steal! Everyone thought I paid much more for it than I actually did. I worked with the same woman from the first day through the final fitting which was a great feeling. She clearly knew what she was talking about and was very honest when I asked her about how different things fit. They're a small shop so sometimes it's hard to call and get an answer, but they're good about returning calls. I will miss seeing them every few months.
