Modern Trousseau has the friendliest and most welcoming staff! Although I did not ultimately purchase my dress here, I was absolutely blown away by Calla's helpfulness and sincere kindness while I tried on gowns. This shop is an absolute gem, and I love that they offer so many options for customization.

My daughter recently selected her wedding gown from Modern Trousseau DC. and she couldn’t have asked for a better, more positive experience! Callie made her feel completely at ease, offered helpful suggestions based on her many years of expertise and guided her in selecting the most perfect wedding gown for her special day. All of the gowns exhibited the highest quality of workmanship and were made of the most exquisite fabric and materials. Each and every gown available was truly elegant, classic and timeless. Modern Trousseau earns the highest rating possible for outstanding customer service, value for the most exquisite workmanship and quality wedding gowns, ability to tailor each gown individually,as well as providing an overall successful and positive bridal shopping experience.

I had the best experience with Callie at Modern Trousseau! She was so welcoming and really listened to what I was looking for in a dress and my look for the day. She offered options and also had so much knowledge about any kind of changes/alterations that would make the dress fit my petite figure better. She clearly has a wealth of experience in the bridal industry and her expertise was welcome and not at all overbearing. She made me and my friend comfortable through the whole experience and though I still need to pick a dress, this shop is high on my list because I would love to work with Callie more!

I had a fantastic experience at this Modern Trousseau. I'd recommend it to all future brides. During my appointment, my mother and I had the entire boutique to ourselves (I think they book appointments intentionally so this is for every bride). This allowed us to have a very personalized experience, and I felt like the most important person in the room. The store is very calming and Callie instills so much trust and confidence about what can be done if you have any ideas for customizations. You can tell the ladies are excited for you and love when you have custom ideas as well.Things I really appreciate: we were able to search through the dresses ourselves - not a stylist grabbing the gowns for you - and I was able to change into the gowns with privacy (very nice for someone who is modest!)They have options that are modern and chic, classic and timeless, and romantic and elegant. The pricing for gowns is fantastic for the design and quality. I found my dress here!

I met with Calla today and my goodness, she is a gem! She was super knowledgeable about all things wedding! Once I showed her my venue, her ideas started flowing and we ended up crafting my dream dress. Which I’ll note, had two details I didn’t even mention wanting to try. I would 1000/100 recommend coming here for your dream wedding dress!

Really lovely place. The owner is really sweet and truly helpful. I think it's a great place for people with a budget on the lower side of four figures. It has enough of a selection to give choice but not to overwhelm. Plus, she designs the dresses herself and offers customisations!

Allie was absolutely AMAZING!!! From the moment my Bride Squad and I walked into Modern Trousseau she made me feel like I was the most important woman in the room! My friends couldn’t help but mention how the experience there completely differed, in all the BEST ways, from our previous experience some where else. I am so happy MT was the last shop we visited — unknowingly saved the best for last! My experience didn’t feel rushed and Allie picked out the two dresses I absolutely fell in love with — you can tell that she not only has an eye for fashion but it also passionate about her profession! I would definitely recommend dress shopping here. You will not regret your experience!

Honestly, I had an amazing experience with Modern Trousseau UNTIL it came to picking up my dress. I paid a deposit, which they overcharged me for. Then I waited until they let me know my dress was ready. I explained that I didn't live in DC so I needed to know exactly when the dress would be delivered to the store so I could book my flight. Long story short they never gave me an exact date- so I booked my flight roughly for when I could come back. They called me and told me my dress was ready and I had to pay the remaining balance. I reminded them that I wanted to wait and given that I don't live in DC could they wait until I was in town so I could try on the dress- they said no. The owner, David, ended up calling me and was unreasonably rude from the start. He told me that he was financing my dress at this point, couldn't make payroll because of me (my balance was around $1,400) and that I was the only bride being difficult. He then told me because of quarantine it would most likely be my fault if my dress didn't fit because I most likely put on weight from not moving- he also made demeaning comments about women's bodies. He threatened me by saying he would overnight my dress to California even though the store wasn't open just so I would be forced to pay the balance. I am so disappointed. If David called me and was apologetic about the situation and was kind from the start then I wouldn't have an issue, but he was rude and aggressive from the start, trying to bully me into paying a $1400 balance for my dress.I ultimately had to send my mom to pick up my dress during the pandemic which I then had to have altered (not from weight gain but incorrect measurements). I would think that with a custom dress the only alterations would be for length. Overall I really like my dress but with all the stress of the ongoing pandemic and wedding planning, I wish this resulted in a better experience. I have seen other reviews where women have run into the same issue.

i initially worked with Sabrina, who is great and sold me the customize-made idea. But she relocated to CA, and i got transferred to another associate. The day that i ordered my dress, the associate had to measure me 3 times. i paid almost $7k for one "customized" dress (taking off the mesh and make it sweetheart neckline) + an overskirt. In my mind it would be all worth it if it fits me perfectly. unfortunately, it does not fit me well after 3 measurements! The torso part is way too long so that it doesn't show the best proportion. the bottom area is too tight, yet the breast and waist part is too loose. I want to claim that i did not gain or lose much weight during the 7 months waiting time... i ended up spending another $600 using their seamstress to make the dress fit. the seamstress lives more than 1 hour drive away from the Georgetown shop, and refuse to meet me at the shop after the initial meetup.the whole experience is very disappointing after spending $7k at the dress alone. they shouldn't call it full customization if they cannot even make a dress that fits the bride. i would give it 1 star if it's not for Sabrina.i do not recommend Modern Trousseau. money could be way better spent somewhere else.

Hannah was amazing to work with! She was very knowledgeable about the dress styles, fabric, and customization options. It felt extra special being the only party in the store and it felt very intimate and personal. Definitely recommended adding this place to your wedding dress salon list!

My mom and I stacked appointments on one Saturday in Georgetown and Modern Trousseau was our second stop. As soon as we entered the shop it was the best experience we had throughout the day. The fitting room space is big and beautiful and the trying on process was easy with no pressure felt in anyway. Upon going to our third stop I kept thinking about the beautiful dress I had tried on at Modern Trousseau. I came back the following weekend to get measurements and discuss any items about my dress that I might want to customize which is an amazing option if there is anything you might want to tweak. Can't say enough good things about my experience and can't wait to see my dress when it comes in this fall!
