From the reviews
From the minute I stepped into The White Dress Shop by the Shore the whole experience was amazing, I would recommend their services 10x over! The minute you walk in you feel so welcomed and supported. They are so patient and attentive to your needs as the bride and help you feel amazing.
I cannot say enough great things about The White Dress and my amazing bridal stylist, Jess! This experience was everything I dreamed wedding dress shopping would be. From the moment I walked in, Jess greeted me right at the door and brought me into a beautiful, private, and comfortable room.
Nothing but the best things to say about White Dress By The Shore! The White Dress team was enthusiastic, understanding, and professional throughout my whole dress experience.
The White Dress By The Shore is the best! I purchased my wedding dress and veil here, along with my bridesmaids dresses. Two of my best friends got their wedding dresses here, and we all rave about it and all of the girls who work there.
Plus size bridal & formal at The White Dress By The Shore
The White Dress By The Shore comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
