Best Advice - bring your man. My fiance didn't want to see me in the dress initially, but it was so overwhelming and my gf's all liked different things. This dress is for HIM, I want him to love it on me. It ended up being so much easier with him there, such a fun experience for us both.
We had Carly helping us and she bent over backwards to make sure that we had everything we wanted, that we felt super comfortable, that this dress and this experience be amazing. Everything about this big endeavor was made perfect by her and we are super appreciative. Would highly recommend! -

Incredibly happy that we booked at The White Dress. Their selection is absolutely amazing, I love their private suites, and the service was fantastic. They have a huge selection with a variety of dresses and sizes making it so much easier to decide on what you want. I was also able to customize my dress with no issues whatsoever and it turned out amazingly. I received so many compliments on my dress and felt amazing in it. Highly recommend this boutique to anyone wedding dress shopping! -

I had a few ideas of what I wanted for a dress, but I had no idea what would look good on me. The associate that helped me when I got my dress was amazing. I found my dress after only trying on 4 dresses. One thing I will mention is to double check the length when you go in and pick up your dress and try it on. They measured me and ordered my dress knowing I was going to wear flats. When I picked up the dress, it felt a little long, but I'm not an expert and I don't know how long they are supposed to be. They told me it was the right length for flats, so I signed off saying it was the right length. When I took it in for alterations, the woman there said it was WAY too long. I would have to wear 3-inch heels for it to be the right length! I then had to pay over $300 just to hem the dress. So make sure when you pick up your dress that it is the right length before you sign for it. That being said, I would still 100% recommend them when looking for a wedding dress. -

Dream wedding dress. Took longer then usual to get, communication was a little difficult. But given the year 2020 has been completely understandable. My dress was a show stopper! -

My mom and I went to their Sample Sale and had an amazing experience! They were extremely friendly and made us feel so special! Kinzie, my consultant, did a great job of listening to what I was looking for and found me my dream dress! The owner was also there and took time to make me feel special and beautiful! Can’t recommend them highly enough!!! -

Kimberlie was my consultant and was more than amazing! She was so patient and knew i had another appointment at another shop and didn’t pressure me at all. She listened to my budget and my vision and catered to everything I wanted.
Kimberlie ended up picking out my dream dress for me. I knew it was going to be a good fit when she started the appointment by telling me “we won’t stop trying on dresses until we find THE one, no matter how long it takes”.
Very professional, kind, sincere and genuine! -

Ok ! Let me start by asking you this. Never worn a dress your entire life? Not even sure what you are looking for? All you have is a budget and need a dress. Stop by and find Cassie !! She is the real mvp. Soo freaking fantastic. I thought I was gonna take days/months before I find my dress. But Cassie she is effortless and does the best job to know what you want and what’s your style. 1.5hours later I had finalized my dress!! She really understands your need and your style and most importantly makes sure you look the best on your wedding day. Her guidance and effort towards tailoring my style and needs was just impressive. She understood me from my expression and body language. She is a real gem!! ❤️ so grateful she could help me pick my Dress!! 😃 more over I had a blast!! She is knows how to have a good time. Buying a wedding dress can be stressful and she just breezed me through this. Cassie!! You the best. -

Went to The White Dress for one of their trunk shows in December and I'm so happy I did! I found the the wedding dress of my dreams and had the most memorable and enjoyable experience; it was more perfect than I could've imagined. I had a 1.5 hour appointment in one of the larger bridal suites for myself, 5 of my girlfriends, and my mom. Upon arriving, they provided us with complimentary champagne for a toast! My bridal stylist, Catherine, was so helpful in pulling dresses off the rack and helping me in them! She gave me great advice about different dress styles, helped me reason through what did and didn't work for me, and didn't judge me when I asked her to help me into my now wedding dress for the 3rd time! When I finally said yes to my dress, she brought out another round of champagne to toast, and let me wear my dress for the next hour while I FaceTimed my future mother-in-law and sister-in-laws, and celebrated with my friends. If you're looking for the ultimate wedding dress shopping experience, go to The White Dress in Portland and ask for Catherine! -

I live in Washington state, and I randomly came across an instagram post of theirs on the explore page. I looked through and there were so many beautiful dresses! I saw they were having a sample sale on the upcoming weekend, and they ended up having a slot open for me (yay!). I drove down with my friend, and we were matched with Carly Rose. She was absolutely AMAZING. The first dress I tried on was almost the one! However, after a few rounds of trying on more dresses, she came back with a darker moscato colored dress that she thought I might like. I was a little hesitant, but I was blown away when I tried it on! Bought it on the spot and haven't stopped smiling since! Everyone at the shop was so sweet and fun to be around, and I can't wait to wear my dress on my big day! -

Kristen Sent on 05/23/2019Wonderful experience at The White Dress Portland!
My experience at The White Dress was great! The very talented Nancy Carroll helped me out. Nancy is incredible! I highly recommend you book an appointment with Nancy at The White Dress to have an amazing wedding dress shopping experience! Nancy will help you find the one! I am very indecisive. I second guess myself if I don’t look at all the options. I went to probably 15 wedding dress stores, both in Seattle and Portland. The White Dress has a great collection of designers, styles, & reasonable price range. If I had to do it all over, I would only go to The White Dress. The experience & dress collection was much better than anywhere else I went. If you purchase a dress during your first appointment you will get 15% off & being in Portland there is no sales tax (which is over 10% in Seattle). The long drive to Portland was definitely worth it! Below is a more detailed description of my experience…
I went to my appointment with family & friends. We were greeted with champagne & asked to fill out a form which asked wedding date, budget, style, etc. Some reviews have remarked that they did not like filling this form again, since it was filled out when booking the appointment. I found it helpful since I had been dress shopping between booking & actual appointment so my budget & style had changed. We were then shown to a private room where we could set our belongings & drinks down. The beautifully decorated room consisted of a sofa, 2 chairs, a coffee table, large mirror, & a pedestal to stand on so the dress will fall correctly. There is a separate area for changing. Next, we were taken out to the main area. Nancy explained how the dresses were organized. She was quick to answer any questions I had about the designers or styles. Nancy had me pick out about 5 dresses that I liked so she could get a feel for what my style was. I needed to get a dress that could be a rush order. Nancy knew which dress could be rushed so I didn’t try on something that I couldn’t order. We then went back to the private room to try on the dresses. I am sensitive about my body & don’t like others helping me change (I dreaded wedding dress shopping which is why I needed a rush order). Nancy was very discreet & soon made me feel completely comfortable! She asked me about my wedding and never rushed me. I tried on multiple dresses. Nancy asked me what I liked about each dress. She really listened to me, even when I was having a hard time explaining why a dress wasn’t perfect for me. After I tried the ones I had picked out, Nancy picked out some for me to try. Nancy was great about staying within my budget & ordering timeframe. Nancy said she had a dress that she thought would be perfect for me & would work well at my wedding venue, but it was different from what I had tried on before. I tried it on & was shocked at how good it looked on me. It was different from what I thought I wanted in a wedding dress. I would never have picked it out by myself. My friends told me that I looked great in the dress & it was my style. I still was unsure since it was so different. I tried on more dresses that Nancy had picked out. They were all lovely & more along the style I thought I wanted. Nancy is very knowledgeable about what the store carries & what looks good on her clients. The dresses Nancy picked out worked better than the ones I picked. Nancy was super patient & let me try on dresses multiple times. I have a hard time deciding. She let me know that she didn’t have an appointment after me, so we could run long (we took advantage of that). I tried on the first dress Nancy had picked out again. She suggested that I try it with a veil since I had told her that I was going to wear my mom’s veil. It looked great with a veil, but I still wasn’t totally convinced. Then Nancy asked if she could try something. She added drop sleeves. It was perfect!! I would never have thought of adding the sleeves. Nancy was able to add extra panels of lace to the dress order so a seamstress could make drop sleeves out of lace that matched the dress. I ended up facetimeing my mom to show her the dress :) Now I have a wedding dress ordered that is more perfect than I had envisioned. I owe it all to Nancy! I would have never thought of it on my own. Nancy also said she would make sure my dress was running on time and I didn’t need to worry about it anymore, she would take care of it. I fully trust that she will! Thank you so much Nancy!!! -

Jennifer Sent on 09/28/2017I bought my dress here about a month ago and it was truly the best! I am so happy I chose to come here for my first and last day of wedding dress shopping. Shayla was so sweet and so helpful. The dress I ended up buying was one she picked out and it was the designer I had my heart set on for a year! It was so fun, me and my ladies loved the private area. I wish I could relive this day over and over again.

Cara Sent on 11/20/2018found just the right dress for me
It was the typical story, I had been to 4 dress stores already. I tried on a bunch of dresses that were OK. After the last dress, my staff person said the fateful words "Hold on, I just have one more thing I want you to try." Of course it was the perfect dress for me. The staff respected my budget, were kind, and didn't pressure me to make a decision. I was kind of dreading shopping in traditional stores but the staff at The White Dress really made my family and I feel welcome and comfortable.
