“Fabulous website. I've ordered from here several times. The quality of their stockings is phenomenal. Great selection and prices. My order is always filled and shipped promptly. I'm always happy with my purchase.”

“They have saved my wedding! I have brought my dress to a seamstress who assured me to be experienced in wedding gowns alterations. She works out of her house where she has only a little space for fittings, with little room for a ball gown, and room stuffed to the brim and tons of threads and fabric pieces of all colors all over the place. I still trusted her, but the alterations went very bad. She removed horsehair from the hem and separated the layer of the crinoline. The skirt lost the volume and hem was done uneven . To my horror she also shortened the dress all the way around without asking me stating this way I will not need a bustle because the bustles break anyway during dancing.
She took in on the waist and gathered the excess of the fabric in one single pleat only on one side on the back, which looked weird.
I regret I didn’t do my alterations at Sokayri from the beginning because I wanted to save money and went to a “professional “ who offered it for less. In the end I paid twice.
But money spent at Sokayri was money well invested.
They were able to miraculously (or rather skillfully) sew the train back in place, covering the seam with beautiful appliqué thus customizing it to be unique, put the horsehair back and properly connecting all the lining layers, readjusted the pleats on the skirt in a symmetrical way and taking in on the princess seams which the other seamstress said was not possible. I didn’t have to use the large breast cups anymore to fill in the dress in the bust area and looked natural.
They did a beautiful bustle on my dress and I danced my first dance and father - and - daughter dance, and wore it almost the entire night, changing into a short dress for the party because I was afraid someone would step on the dress and break the bustle because the fabric of the dress is very delicate.
I can’t thank Elena and her masterful tailor enough for making me feel welcome, calming me and doing this fabulous job just 3 weeks before the wedding!
Don’t try to save money on the most important dress you will ever wear!
Save your nerves and eliminate stress choosing the true professionals!
Plus they do such beautiful pictures of the process, I will include them in my wedding album as unforgettable memories of the moments of getting my dress ready in their beautiful salon!”

“Our experience with Sukran was nothing short of amazing. Both, my Husband and I used her for our entire wedding attire. Sukran treated us like family. She has a heart of gold, and she is extremely gifted in her craft. She has a lot of options, and she was attentive to our needs and always made her deadlines. She made sure our day was magical. I would HIGHLY recommend.”

“I worked with Nicole to choose my wedding dress and I couldn't be happier about my experience with her! Nicole took the time to speak with me on the phone and over text prior to my first appointment to get a good understanding of what I was looking for. She didn't make me feel weird about having appointments at other shops, and even encouraged me to send pictures of gowns I liked from other places. When I got to ALSW, she already had dresses picked out for me. The shop is gorgeous and everyone was so nice. We ended up ordering a custom gown that I am SO excited about, and Nicole was just as excited about it. Highly, highly recommend ALSW.”

“After getting engaged I was visiting my parents in CT and decided on a whim to check out some dresses with my mom and sister at Plumed Serpent. I live in California and I honestly didn’t think I would find my dress here (it was my first time trying on any wedding dresses and it was on the completely wrong side of the country from my home). Lindsey was a dream to work with. She listened to my likes, dislikes, and budget. All of the dresses she pulled were gorgeous, but I fell in love with the second one I tried on.Given that this was my first time trying on dresses, I didn’t think I could purchase the dress right then and there. I flew back to CA empty handed and booked several dress trials with local CA boutiques. Nothing compared to Plumed Serpent. The dress selections weren’t as nice and the experience wasn’t as nice.I eventually realized that if I was comparing every dress to the dress at Plumed Serpent then I should just get that dress. I called Lindsey to order my dress and she put every worry I had about shipping and alterations at ease. She found several alterations options for me to use locally in CA and really made the whole process completely stress free. My dress arrived well before the expected arrival date, leaving me with plenty of time for alterations.I cannot say enough good things about Lindsey and the whole Plumed Serpent team. They are professional and accommodating and you can feel how much they care.”

“I went to Bella bridesmaids in Westport with my two sisters. They were so helpful! We explained what we were looking for and the girl that helped us picked out amazing dresses. She also let us try on all of them! We also were running late for our appointment and called to ask if we could change our time and they did. Definitely recommend Bella bridesmaids!”

“Orange Restoration repaired and restored a family heirloom. Our vale was packaged and given to me to hold and take care. When I opened it for my daughter in law to be it was in terrible shape and I assumed it was lost. Thanks to OR the vale has been made beautiful and lovely again! I am so happy that to have this piece of history back and looking like it once did. I also wanted to say that the people who I spoke to were very kind and helpful.”

“I got my dress from this store and while my original fitting experience wasn't fantastic, when I went back to change the size of my dress, Jess and Christina completely made up for it. They had me try on different veils, which I didn't for the original fitting appointment, and went out of their way to make sure I left the second appointment feeling like I got everything I wanted out of wedding dress shopping. The salon itself was beautiful, clean, and I couldn't have been happier with my dress. I fell in love with it from the first time I put it on and over a year later after purchasing I am SO happy that I chose the Bettina gown to wear on my wedding day!”
