5 Stars!!!

Dante was a solid gem at helping my beautiful wife select a Mother of the Groom dress. The entire fitting was fun and relaxing for my wife, son, and daughter-in-love -to-be! No pressure and he had lots of ideas and options to help us choose. Nothing could have made this a better experience all the way around. We were very pleased and would highly recommend giving him a visit before making that final decision! Thank you Dante!

Wonderful Experience

I live in NH and exhausted my search for a formal pantsuit for my stepson's wedding. I was starting to panic since the wedding is in September. I finally, after some more research, found T Carolyn Fashions. I spoke to Barbara and she was very calming and proceeded to help me find the most beautiful out fit. It will be here in plenty of time for the wedding !! Thank you so much Barbara and T Carolyn Fashions.

Visited today T. Carolyn Fashions for a Mother-of-the Bride dress and was so excited to see the many dresses, styles, colors, and sizes to meet any wedding. The whole experience was wonderful the moment we were greeted at the door. Terrie was our stylist and listened to what my ideas of a dream dress looked like. She also brought me other styles to better match my coloring, style, and shape. There was zero pressure to buy a dress or was rushed through my visit. Terrie listened and kept bringing me better dresses until we honed down "the dress." I walked out with a dress more beautiful and figure flattering than what I had thought I would buy. At the end of our dress shopping, Dante helped with matching accessories which really finished the outfit.

By the way, my husband came along and felt right at home. There was a place close by the dressing room for him (and all the other spouses/guests) to sit (and wait) while my bride-to-be and I searched through dresses and fashioned show in front of the 3-way mirrors.

Kudos to T. Carolyn Fashions. You made my experience wonderful and I thank you for it. I will certainly come again with future purchases and will recommend highly this boutique to my other Mother-of-the Bride/Groom Mom Friends.

If you are concerned about ordering a special occasion dress online, look no further. I have dealt with T. Carolyn Fashions several times. After being miserable in long gowns for two weddings in 2016, I decided I needed a pantsuit. I found the one I liked online but had difficulty determining if it would be available for my event. The staff at T Carolyn took the time on the phone to verify that the pantsuit was in stock and I could have it on time. I received so many compliments on the pantsuit, I started looking for another one for an October, 2018 wedding. The one I found was not on T. Carolyn's website so again I called. The associate verified that they could get the pantsuit, worked with me on size, and within 10 minutes it was posted on their website so I could order it. The customer service of all the associates is amazing.

We can’t stop saying enough about how wonderful our prom shopping experience was at T Carolyn this past Saturday. We had been shopping for weeks and were starting to get discouraged when we decided to try venturing out of the traditional places to look for a special occasion dress. From the minute we walked in the door, the staff was gracious and genuinely helpful. Evan was so sweet in assisting my daughter into a dress she had chosen and really cared that we were satisfied with the decision. We ended up saying “Yes, to the dress” and had a personalized photo taken and sent to our phone. The owner, Dante, was very attentive and made us feel very special. Thank you to everyone that works there and helped us find the perfect dress.

I needed a Mother of the Groom dress, but I hate shopping for clothes because I have a few too many pounds. Plus, I haven't worn a dress in over 20 years! After studying the T Carolyn customer photos, I saw that "real people" can look good in a fancy dress, and chose one I really liked. I arrived first thing on a Saturday morning hoping this would be my only shopping trip. Feridee was my stylist. It was quickly apparent that the dress I thought I wanted was all wrong for me. The very next dress I tried on (which Feridee selected) turned out to be perfect for me. It only needs minor alterations (even though I am very pear-shaped) and a shorter hem. You wouldn't believe what that dress is hiding and I actually look good in it! I will feel pretty, comfortable and confident at my son's wedding.

Hours and hours of looking online got me nothing but frustrated and discouraged. Feridee accomplished the impossible in about one hour. With the huge selection and the skilled stylists, this should be the first place you go when you need a special dress.

I bought my mother of the groom dress and wanted to share this experience. I went to T. Carolyn to shop and stressed about what I would wear, but I had the best experience. My stylist was Feridee Davis, and she was a big help in the selection of my beautiful dress. I was impressed that she did not try to sell me the most expensive dress but instead listen to what I explained that I wanted and brought a selection of dresses for me to try on. She was ready to help in any way offering suggestions on under garments and alterations. My stress level quickly dropped and I shared with her that this was not the first dress that I had purchased from them. Barbara Tibbetts owns the store and has been in the business of selling only Mother of the bride or groom dresses for well over 18 years now. She wrote a book called "I want my mother's dress to match the napkins". Well it is a book every mother of the bride, mother of the groom or bride to be should read. It had some hilarious stories in it but also good tips on everything from the dress, the wedding, the music, the flowers, and the should and should nots. I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. Never too late. Best $14 I ever spent. Well I am ready for the big day and wanted to share what a pleasant experience it turned out to be. I am so pleased!

I am delighted I found your website and when I saw the picture of your shop online, I felt very comfortable ordering from you.

I called on a Saturday afternoon and asked the person on the phone some questions about a pantsuit I saw on the website and loved! I asked her about measurements on the outfit and she went and measured for me. I then told her I wanted to order the outfit and she said let me get it because the store is kind of busy and I want to make sure I get it off the rack for you. I later found out she was the owner of the company. She was very nice, very helpful, very friendly and very patient. I felt like I was dealing with a place I had shopped in many times and she knew me. She told me they are closed on Sunday and Monday, but she would ship my outfit out on Tuesday. I received it on Thursday. I would definitely order from this shop again.
