WE BELIEVE IN #MADE IN NY

We make every gown right here, one at a time, by hand. No mass production overseas here! This lets us implement the highest quality techniques – French seams, baby seams, tiny baby hems, building our own corsets, hand draping – while allowing tons of flexibility in sizing and timing. We can adjust our patterns for uncommon body proportions within production and we can do it fast. Need a dress in a week? Done. Need a super specific shade of blush? We can make it. Got big tatas and a tiny waist? High five, we’ve got you covered (literally).

WE BELIEVE IN QUALITY YOU CAN FEEL.

TEXTILES

Carol Hannah always says that she moved to New York for fabric. Our aesthetic starts with the absolute best quality silk textiles you can find, many of which are woven exclusively for us at the most prestigious European mills in the industry. Our embellishments are developed from the fabric itself to create organic texture. We build a 100% silk foundation into the interior all of our gowns­. You may not see it in something like a draped gown because it is within the layers, but you can definitely feel the difference on your body and see the support it provides without being stiff and uncomfortable. Our gowns feel as good and move as well as they look.

FIT

Fit is paramount when it comes to your gown. By incorporating your fittings into your gowns production schedule, we ensure that the completed garment fits you perfectly while maintaining the carefully designed style lines and details that make it so special. We’re with you every single step of the way and the same seamstresses that produce your gown do your alterations. Let us wipe away your alterations nightmares!

TECHNIQUE

There are no shortcuts. There is no machine stamping out a dozen a minute. We do this this same way generations before us did, in the same buildings no less, on the same few blocks in the middle of NYC’s Garment District. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

WE BELIEVE IN MAKING IT YOUR OWN

We love tweaking our styles to suit our brides. As long as it makes sense aesthetically and is on point with our brand, we’ll do it.

WE BELIEVE IN MAGIC.

We are super passionate about dresses and keep our production more exclusive because we care about every little detail. As an independent design house, we are driven by the artistic side of fashion more than the commercial. Yes, we want to sell our dresses, but we won’t sacrifice true design and innovation just to do that. Our point of view is truly unique and we don’t try to just do our version of what’s already out there. Our customers are looking for something different and we offer that in the best quality possible.

Beautiful dresses! Amazing customer service!

I had the best experience at Carol Hannah from start to finish. Out of all the places I looked for dresses, both boutiques and designers, Carol Hannah felt the most welcoming without any pressure and had the most unique dresses that fit my style. The NYC studio is beautiful and open. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I didn't feel pressure to place an order upon my first visit and returned for a 2nd time to try on again 2 dresses that I was considering. Carol Hannah, herself, even showed me different ways one of the dresses could be bustled! Once I placed my order for 2 dresses (welcome party and wedding day), they were very helpful in reaching out to schedule fittings and accommodating when I needed to reschedule at the last minute. I was never rushed during either of my shopping trips or any fittings. Overall, the fittings went smoothly and both dresses turned out exactly as I hoped. I felt beautiful and comfortable in both dresses throughout my wedding weekend. I would highly recommend Carol Hannah.

My Carol Hannah experience was one of my favorite parts of my wedding. Carol and all of her staff are so kind and thoughtful. The space is beautiful and private, which is hard to find at this price range. The craftsmanship on the dress was amazing and it turned out exactly how I’d hoped. I would recommend Carol Hannah to any bride!
