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. -

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! -
Averil Sent on 04/27/2018Working with Jill and the Jill Andrews Gowns team was an exceptional experience. I really had no idea what kind of wedding dress I wanted, only that I hadn't seen anything that was just right. Looking back, Jill really guided me to exactly what I wanted, while providing recommendations and advice on what would look best on me. I received so many compliments on the dress and how perfectly it was made for me and my wedding.
While my dress was simple, the detail and execution were not easy but ended up perfectly- from custom fresh water pearl buttons to match the natural Mexican setting, to breezy spaghetti straps that never fell down, to the perfectly pleated belt that was flattering and the perfect detail. The elegant slit over my right leg that Jill suggested also made the dress easy to walk in and added just enough sex appeal.
For the longest time I really thought I wasn't going to find the perfect dress, so I'm so thankful to Jill Andrews Gowns for creating the perfect custom dress for me that I'll forever love. -

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!!! -

Jill was so wonderful to work with and my wedding dress turned out perfect! She was very attentive and listened to everything I wanted and needed done to my dress. Her personality and sewing talent really sold me. If I ever need any future dresses fitted she will definitely be my go to! I couldn’t recommend her more -

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! -

Dream Team!
I bought my wedding dress from BHLDN but it required alterations. I took my dress to Jill and Jennifer and they took it and made it one of a kind. They were fantastic to work with, welcoming, had great ideas and a true dream. I would suggest anyone looking for either a custom dress or alternations to check them out!Jill Andrews Gowns's reply:
Thank you very much, Elizabeth! It was great getting to know you and your mom and we had a lot of fun working with you!! -

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! -

Valarie Sent on 06/10/2019'Older Bride - Young Attitude' finds perfect dress !
Can't say enough enough things about Jill Andrews Gowns! I was unable to find a wedding dress that was made for an older bride ... nothing I looked at/tried on felt like me...and I did not want a mother-of-the-bride dress. I didn't want a white dress...I wanted something in blue, and more "me". So, Jill and Jennifertothe rescue! At our first meeting, Jill asked me what I was looking for...so, I launched into my perfect dress list: Blue, with a bateau neckline, sleeves - 3/4 or bracelet length, something fun or flouncy for the dance floor, but elegant- because it is my wedding and I want to look like the Bride - not the mother of the bride! , and knee length....etc... All the while Jill was sketching away -when I stopped to take a breath - she said..."so you want something like this" and she had sketched EXACTLY what I was looking for. Jennifer meanwhile went some fabric swatches and we found the perfect fabric (blue/gold doubled faced taffeta) - Jill brought over a length of the most beautiful blue lace I had ever seen...and just like that - my perfect dress was underway! I almost cried with joy !
Many thanks to Jill and Jennifer for creating what I never thought I would find!!!

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. 💓 -

Hailey Sent on 10/05/2018I restyled my mother's wedding gown from 1992 for my 2018 wedding. Jill & Jen are amazing artists who saw the end product. They deconstructed my mother's dress and reconstructed it to fit my style. I was also able to wear her veil! The fittings were so much fun and it was sad leaving the final one! It was terrifying leaving my mother's dress there and knowing it was going to be cut up but we had a great feeling. The final product was absolutely beautiful & perfect! If you have a similar project in mind you can trust them to make your ideas reality!Jill Andrews Gowns's reply:
Thank you so much!! We loved working with you and your mom and it was a privilege to be entrusted with your gown! -

Flawless alterations
I was referred to Jill by a friend when I was in a pinch to find someone locally for my wedding dress alterations. The backstory is that my family's tailor in Philly unexpectedly retired (he did alterations for me 15+ years) and I needed someone here who I could trust (key word!) to do the work with precision. My friend's wedding dress was intricate and I was aware of the attention to detail given to her gown... so that was enough for me to reach out to the studio. I initially communicated with Jennifer, who was extremely pleasant and helped me schedule an appointment that fit my work schedule. I came to the studio (which is adorable by the way!) with a small list of alterations that I already knew needed to be done, but I also asked Jill and Jennifer to be honest with me about anything else the dress required. They both made me feel comfortable right away, provided an explanation for each alteration, and demonstrated the quality of their work. They also made me feel confident that the alterations would be long-lasting. The cost was what I expected to pay and I had factored that in when choosing my dress originally (this is a must - don't forget that part in your budget). At a later fitting, Jill was also able to take out a layer of fabric from the skirt of my dress to make it feel lighter/airy, since my wedding was the end of August (hot!). She and Jennifer even made an itchy piece of fabric become un-itchy. Like magic :-) On the wedding day, I felt absolutely fabulous in my dress. I could sit, stand, squat, walk, dance for hours, hug people, and twirl around without any concerns - and I think that really tells you something about Jill's and Jennifer's skills. If you're looking for meticulous technique and expertise, these gals are for you!Jill Andrews Gowns's reply:
Thank you so much, Rachel! We loved working with you and are very happy to know that you had a wonderful day!! -
