The Wedding Dress Shop roycebridal https://www.roycebridal.com/

The Wedding Dress Shop was the only store that I visited to find my wedding dress asked for an idea of what I needed, she recommend me about 6 dresses. I was able to find my perfect dress from the selection that she gave me. https://www.roycebridal.com/

Great experience with the Wedding Dresser

Susan and her team are outstanding! I am so glad I chose them to alter my wedding dress. My dress was quite complicated and needed a lot of alterations, and there were able to complete them beautifully with just 4 fittings, each less than 30 minutes. The bustle they created was beautiful, and they even made a very clear explanatory video for my sister-in-law to do the bustle herself on the wedding day.
Two weeks before my wedding, at my final fitting, my dress was still a bit big on the top, but Susan and her team were able to work quickly at the last minute to make sure I had a perfect fit for my wedding day.

Perfect dress!

Susan was able to take my family’s 75 year old heirloom dress and give it new life! She did an extraordinary job! She was able to clean the fabric and adjust it so that I could fit into it. It was so special to be able to wear my grandmother/mother’s dress on my wedding day. Thank you to Susan and your entire team for giving me something so special to wear!

Best alterations team in New York!

I can't recommend working with the wedding dresser team enough. They were so professional and knowledgable. They ensure my dress fit like a glove, and spent the time to get it right. If you are looking for someone to trust your wedding dress with, look no further!

Great alterations

Susan and her team at the Wedding Dresser did a lovely job with alterations to my bridal gown (hemming, bustling, and straps). They also offered my expert guidance about cleaning, and I was able to try on accessories to help decide on my final look. My dress fit like a glove, and I was able to dance without hesitation - everything stayed secure. Thank you for helping make our wedding wonderful!

Life saver to my wedding dress nightmare!

Long story short, the bridal shop I ordered my dress from in Korea sent me the wrong bride’s dress (I’m a size 2 and they sent me a size 10) and had to put in a rush order with the designer to create a brand new dress for me. Less than a month before my wedding, I still didn’t have my wedding dress in hand.

I was in full panic mode because I didn’t know 1) was my new dress going to arrive on time? 2) was my new dress going to fit me? 3) was my new dress going to require alterations? 4) would the alterations be completed in time?? There were so many unknowns.

But thanks to my wedding planner’s recommendation, I found the Wedding Dresser, and reached out to Susan. Her response was “Yes, it’s totally possible for us to alter the dress for you on a shortened timeline. We got you” and I already felt a huge sense of relief.

THANK GOD my new dress did arrive in time, 3 weeks before my wedding, and I was able to book an appt with the Wedding Dresser right away.

And in exactly 2 weeks from my first appointment, Susan and her team made my dress fit me PERFECTLY.

They worked their magic to make sure…
- I can actually lift my arms up and hug my husband! LOL (Previously, I couldn’t lift my arms up beyond a few inches)
- The length of the dress was perfect. (I didn’t bustle my dress but it required hemming in the front)
- I could breathe in my dress without it suffocating me (The new dress did fit me, but I didn’t think I could stay in it for hours because it was so tight. They removed the inner corset and did some other things to add some extra breathing room for me and it was a lifesaver!)

At every single appointment, I felt so well taken care of by everyone. Ashley, Gala, Tran, Filbert, and Susan were all so wonderful, and I appreciated how it felt like we were part of a team with one goal in mind: making me look & feel like the most beautiful bride ever.

We actively brainstormed things together (e.g. should I pin the front crease of my dress? should I not? should I wear my hair down? or up? should I bustle my dress? or not?)

I genuinely enjoyed spending time there because everyone is so wonderful.

And honestly, I could not be more grateful to The Wedding Dresser for helping me wear my dream wedding dress on my special day.

Thank you Susan and team!!❤️

Beautiful Wedding Dress

I had wanted to modernize my mother's 1970's wedding dress to wear to my November wedding. Susan exceeded all expectations and definitely brought my vision to life.

Fantabulous (Fantastic and Fabulous)

Susan and her team were truly amazing and so easy to work with. I was wearing my grandmother's 65 year old dress and they knew exactly what to do so that it not only didn't fall apart, but also was more me (we changed the sleeves and added beading). My mom bought a brand new dress and brought it to Susan because we trusted her more than any other place. Beyond, beyond recommend!

Thank you!

When I first came to the Wedding Dresser, my dress did not fit at all. The team ended up redesigning the bodice of my dress so that it fit perfectly. I'm so grateful for their creativity and skill. Thank you Susan and Clara!
