10/10 would recommend! I first found The Gown on social media, I believe, because one of their TikToks/Reels came up on my feed. After watching their videos, I knew I had to come here to look for my wedding dress, even though their shop is 1.5 hours away from where I live! This was the first and only dress shop I visited to shop for my wedding dress. I had my appointment at The Gown yesterday, and I came home with my wedding dress! This was a shock to me because I completely expected to not be able to afford a dress from here. I’ll be honest, there were times I considered just ordering online

I had the most wonderful experience at The Gown. I was very nervous about going wedding dress shopping and their entire team put me at ease from the minute I walked through the door. There was such a broad selection of dresses and the consultant who spent the appointment with us, Jessica, was so helpful and encouraging. I found the perfect dress and had a ton of fun in the process! Couldn't recommend this boutique more!

The Gown Girls are simply amazing! I just went through a horrible experience of major dress-regret due to incredibly bad advice with another store when I was recommended to go check out The Gown. Not only did the girls at The Gown make me feel like they really listen to what I want and not try to sell me whatever, they made the whole experience so special and fun. Through their video chat setup, my mom, who lives overseas, could join, which made me unbelievably happy. In summary, due to their adaptability to keep us all safe during these challenging times, their competence, and their welcoming

Really and truly loved my experience shopping for a gown here. The girls are so helpful and knowledgeable, and really made me feel like a VIP while we shopped. We didn't find 'the one' my first time around, but I won't be going anywhere else but here to continue my search. Great work ladies!
EDIT: I happened to make a second appointment with these lovely ladies, and lo and behold I found my dream gown! These girls were so patient with me and I felt so special to be looking for my dress here. Would recommend this shop to anyone looking!

I purchased my wedding dress from the Gown last year, and it was one of the best experiences for me. Even though we were limited to the amount of people I could have at my appointment, and masks had to be worn etc. Alex made the appointment extra special. She listened to what I was looking for and offered her opinion in a kind, professional way. She made me feel on top of the world and paid so much attention to detail. It was such a great experience and not to mention I absolutely loved my dress!

I had the best experience at The Gown, if I could give them 10 stars, I would!! Before finding The Gown, I had been to a few different stores and tried on a few different dresses. I had honestly given up hope. The Gown girls made me feel super comfortable and I really felt like they were hearing what I was wanting out of my dress. I came in for my first appointment last Saturday with my mom and sister in law. Jessica was with us for that appointment and she was just super! She had the 5 dresses that I picked out online prepared for me to try on. The private room was wonderful and I have to mention

I am so thrilled with my experience at The Gown. Emily was so instantly warm and welcoming to me and all of my guests. She really got a good idea of what I had in mind for my bridal look and took every bit of feedback I had. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured at all, but there was no way I wasn’t saying yes to the dress once I found my gown. There were so many options to choose from and everything was very clean. I didn’t see any stains or defects on any of the 7 dresses I tried on. The room we were in was huge and private with a giant, comfortable sectional, and an entire wall of windows
