Modern Trousseau DC is a Hidden Gem

Modern Trousseau Washington DC is a hidden gem! Kelly was beyond patient and positive as I searched for my dress and changed my wedding style. I ended up getting a custom dress, which I fell in love with and didn't want to take off on my wedding day. The entire process from start to finish was great. I would highly recommend this store to any DC brides. Thank you, Kelly!

I had such an amazing, unique experience working with Modern Trousseau on my wedding gown. Going to New Haven for the fittings was such an incredible opportunity to see the kind of craftsmanship and design that goes into every single dress they produce. When i went for my muslin fitting for my Virginia gown, Ilma adjusted the cut of the top and back of the dress to better flatter my figure. Every time I went and saw the dress getting closer and closer to being complete the team was making small adjustments to ensure that the dress fit me perfectly. The final product was so beautiful, the lace on Modern Trosseau dresses is absolutely gorgeous, and the dress was so comfortable I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night.
Ilma also helped to fit my mom for a corset for her dress, and even sewed in padding on one side to help her feel more comfortable and confident after breast cancer surgery. We had such a great experience with Modern Trousseau!

The best wedding dress!

I had a wonderful experience with Modern Trousseau! I originally hated wedding dress shopping and found the whole process stressful, but then I went here and started to really enjoy it. Their dresses are gorgeous and the level of customer service is amazing. I don’t even feel right calling it “customer service” - I was really made to feel like a friend more than a customer. The designer herself was there for my appointment, and she and my mom had a great time while we all sipped champagne. The entire process - from my first time going there to the final fitting - was so easy and fun. And most importantly - the dress was SO gorgeous. I still can’t get over it, and months later I’m still getting compliments. And it had pockets! I really couldn’t recommend Modern Trousseau more.
