About this vendor

Located in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood, Jill Andrews Gowns specializes in custom bridal and evening gowns. From fully custom gowns to antique restorations, each dress tells your unique story. We always highlight your individual style, couture fit, and personal service. We also carry veils, jewelry, tiaras, gloves, everything but the shoes to make your bridal look complete!

-=Custom Gowns=-

At your initial appointment with Jill, you'll have an in-depth conversation where you discuss your inspirations, wants and needs, and the vibe of your event. During the conversation, Jill draws your design. Fabric, silhouette, color, and details are all customizable. swatches, motifs, photos, magazines -- anything that inspires your vision for your gown. Jill will be inspired with you as her muse, creating a dress just for you.

-=Restorations=-

Creating new gowns is always fun, but something old can make a great “new” after a thorough renovation. If you have a family heirloom gown or veil that you would love to wear, we would love to work with you! Heirloom services range from repairs and textile stabilization to complete gown redesign and re-making.

-=Alterations=-

In addition to Jill's original creations, the JAG staff does in-house alterations for wedding and event gowns they make as well as gowns purchased elsewhere. We go beyond a dart or a hem: we can re-engineer a gown or re-style it for a new year.

Custom Gowns - starts at $4,500

Amazing studio!

Jill's studio is a serious dream! I had such a fun time visiting the studio and looking around at her work. Jill has fantastic taste and vision, and on top of all of that, she and her staff are delightful to work with.

A real fairy godmother

I’m so glad I chose to work with Jill for my custom wedding dress. I can’t imagine having worn anything other than the dress she made, which was so detailed and personal. Jill is kind, warm, and welcoming. She asked thoughtful questions about what I wanted and listened thoughtfully, even when I wasn’t quite sure myself. She helped me articulate my dream dress: I said I wanted to feel like myself, and to be able to move freely. Jill saw my vision and delivered so perfectly, almost as if she anticipated my needs before I even knew them. At my fittings, Jill made me feel like I was at home. She is knowledgeable and body inclusive. She knew the shapes and structures that would best complement my body and made adjustments to ensure that I was always comfortable in the corset. In fact, I was so comfortable that I still wish I could wear my dress every day! It was the first garment I’ve ever worn that I felt truly fit me. Jill’s studio has a magical atmosphere, and she is the fairy godmother to match. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I am so thankful for the careful, loving work that she put into my dress. Because of Jill, I felt beautiful and confident at my wedding, and every bride deserves that.

Best seamstress!

Jill was amazing! Had a very rush wedding dress alteration needed and she was so sweet and helpful. Did the work in a week, that other seamstress I tried prior said could not be done at all. Made the dress just how I had dreamed it would be, which made my wedding!!!! Totally reccomend!!!

My Dream Dress

Jill created a magnificent, one-of-a-kind dream dress for me for a fashion gala. I've never had a designer that got my style so perfectly! She married my love for vintage with some drama to make this timeless dress out of vintage silk. The dress was stunning and fit like a dream! Jill is a genius and so much fun to work with, I highly recommend!

Dress Dreams Came to Life

Jill is truly a visionary and fairy god mother of wedding gowns. From start to finish, you could tell she genuinely loved the process of bringing my gown to life. She put her whole heart into each stitch and piece. The day of the wedding I was blown away to see all my dreams coming to life. She took my incoherent ideas and made my dream dress. She has unbelievable knowledge, skill and vision. I really cannot thank her enough for all her hard work and unbelievable talent! Having a dress I know was a labor of love made our day even more special. 💓

Breathtaking artistry

I dreamed of wearing my grandmother's wedding dress from the 1950s, but didn't know if it would be possible. My mother had tried to wear it at her wedding, and was told it was impossible to restore.

I was delighted to discover that Jill could not only beautifully restore it, but also adjust it to fit me better than anything I've ever worn. I expected the dress to be beautiful, but the end result blew me away- it was breathtaking.

Jill is an incredible artist who also happens to be extremely down to earth and easy to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Absolutely recommend!

Jill was an absolute pleasure to work with! She so beautifully made my dress fit my body and I was able to confidently and comfortably move throughout the day. She was so kind and flexible, making sure my alterations were completed in time for the big day. Her shop is AMAZING and I even purchased my wedding jewelry and headpiece from her! Cannot recommend enough.

Couture-level service by your newest friend!

I cannot thank Jill enough for taking my gown and making it allll mine! Jill was a dream to work with, as she is truly an expert.

From the second I first stepped into her shop, I was treated to a highly personal experience that was more like having a dear girlfriend do a makeover than anything I’d dreamt a gown alteration would be like. Jill listened to what our event would be like, looked at photos, and had her own ideas for how to make my dress the right scale in addition to the right fit. Never has the phrase “decreasing radiuses” caused me so many giggles. Everything she suggested, I trusted, and she was SPOT. ON.

My dress had delicate beadwork and lace throughout, and she had to hand re-stitch and relay every last place she adjusted. When all was done, you never would have known she practically took it apart.

Jill went the extra mile at every step, and made me feel confident and ready to wear my dress, rather than ever worrying that it would wear me!

Months after my wedding, I still enjoy checking in with her. If you are looking for a true artist who will make you laugh and give you celeb-worthy results, look no further!

I have had the pleasure of working with both Jill & Sara. They are both incredibly talented and work hand in hand to create something truly special for their brides. What sets them apart from other gown designers is their truly infectious personalities which are just as wonderful as their talented craft. As a make-up artist, I am usually one of the last event professionals to get a look at a bride before she walks down the aisle. I have heard women who love their gowns and others who wish they had done something completely different. I would highly recommend Jill Andrews services to anyone looking for a "one of a kind" dress that reflects both their personal style and unique personality.
