Wedding Dresses and Gowns in Washington DC

Mychelle is incredible! She is remarkably experienced, patient, and excellent at what she does. She shows you all of the options you have for wedding dresses alterations and does not rush you to make decisions, but helps you make them by giving detailed pros and cons. The quality of her work is unmatched, and my huge train lasted bustled all night. The dress itself was altered perfectly. She also did my tea ceremony dress and is very experienced with cheong sams. Prices are reasonable, and she even gave my friend and I a discount for getting our wedding dresses altered together. I trust her work and vision and highly recommend her!

I wore a dress that was first worn by my grandmother and has since been worn by 6 other women in my family, including my mom. I wanted to remove the sleeves, change the neckline, and give it straps instead. The first place I tried quoted me $2600 for the alterations and when I was reading their reviews I stumbled on one where someone said they should have gone to Cheryl Lofton where their alterations would have cost half as much. Sure enough, when I went to see Ali at Cheryl Lofton, he quoted me $1200. I said yes and he cut the sleeves off right then and there - my mom still says the picture of me smiling in the hacked up dress is almost as good as the wedding pictures in the finished product. Ali did a really beautiful job and even took the dress out for me slightly a couple months before the wedding when I tried it on again and told him I was worried it was a bit too tight and I'd be uncomfortable. Everyone at Cheryl Lofton was professional, responsive, and supportive. It was a great experience and I've since had other dresses tailored by them as well and all have been great experiences.

Zoba is very knowledgable and professional. I went to her with no idea about what I wanted as a bride and was honestly all over the place. She was patient and talked me through different styles and options, features of wedding dresses that I liked and what I would like to see on my dress. The fitting sessions were perfect and it was beautiful to see my wedding dress come to life. I'll recommend Zoba Martin every time I get a chance to. No regrets whatsoever! I got so many complements on my dress and I'm now hanging on to it forever. Side note: I didn't get a chance to wear my dress because of COVID but I wore it and stood beside Zoba during her Dragons Den Pitch in 2022.

I had my first ever dress shopping appointment here and Missy, the volunteer staff member, was so incredibly kind and supportive. She helped guide me through the search process and provided thoughtful, encouraging, honest feedback. When I found the dress I loved, she even helped me get an additional discount on it because of some minor discoloration on the lace! I'm so excited to wear it at my wedding. I cannot recommend Fairytale Brides highly enough. Their selection is incredible, and it's super helpful that they carry a wide range of styles so that you can learn what works best for you. The prices are also very fair and the profits go to charity, so you can feel good about your purchase.

I went to Green and Blue for my wedding dress alterations, and they did a wonderful job. It was definitely an investment, but on par with other alterations places in the area. I went in for a consultation and two fittings, and by the end of it my dress (and all 5 layers of it!) fit like a glove. Thank you very much!

This review is so so late and I’m so sorry for that. Maria was a dream to work with. My mom was diagnosed with late stage cancer and we were in a rush to get married so she could be there. Maria was able to accommodate us and altered my dress beautifully. COVID delayed our wedding by a year and a half but we were able to have a simple ceremony prior to that. Thanks to Maria, my mom was able to see me my husband and I get married in the dress she helped pick out. Throughout the process, Maria was extremely compassionate.

As a premier venue in the heart of DC, we hold our vendor partners to the highest standards, and Threadbury exceeded every one of them. During our recent event, their team demonstrated impeccable professionalism and a deep understanding of our space. Their ability to navigate the fast-paced environment of the Convention Center area while maintaining a calm, client-focused attitude was impressive. The quality of their work perfectly complements the upscale experience we strive to provide our guests. We highly recommend Threadbury to any couple or corporate group looking for a seamless, top-tier experience. We look forward to many more successful collaborations!"

My wedding dress was covered in grass stains after my outdoor wedding. I dropped it off with Wheaton Valet and it came back spotless and packed with care!

I had an exceptional experience with Zoya Atelier for my wedding dress alterations. I purchased the Nile by Kyha, a fitted silhouette with full beading, and was nervous about getting it altered, especially since beading can complicate the process. My dress was very large from the waist up as I had purchased it a few sizes larger to fit my hips, which made it quite a challenge. Throughout every appointment, they took the time to walk me through what to expect and kept me updated on the progress. I was always involved in the process, trying on the pinned alterations to ensure they were on the right track before moving forward. They added built-in bra padding, a corset, and boning—things that weren’t originally included in the dress—making the fit both comfortable and flattering. I am so pleased with the final result. Zoya’s Atelier truly brought my dress to life, and I highly recommend them if you have a dress that requires extra attention to detail. They handled my dress with care and made it fit perfectly.

Overall wonderful experience. She worked with me on the delivery date. The dress I bought is amazing, I couldn't of asked for anything better. I want to live in my dress, honestly. Lol. Can't go wrong with Ting Bridal
