All of the staff are so affirming and the designs are beautiful and customizable! Come in with or without a particular vision and they'll treat you like royalty and make you feel so lovely either way. Cheers to Loulette!

Any time a friend getting married wants to look for their gown in NYC we recommend Loulette! Most famously, the bride with the textured gown. Marteal and her team always fold in our friends as their own. The Loulette team creates lasting memories for all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, gender expressions, life experiences, etc. #teamloulette

This is literally my first google review ever, because the process was so wonderful. As someone who has a lot of anxiety about her body and any attention paid to it, the whole team was so lovely and fun and got me so well. For anyone who gets stressed about wedding things, please go here. There’s also a really strong sense of adding to the community, which means a lot.

I had a wonderful experience at Loulette! I felt very taken care of, supported, and celebrated! This was my first bridal store and it is where I found my dream dress :)

My entire experience with Loulette and the team was fantastic. Jillian made every visit light and fun. As someone who does not love shopping in general I felt totally comfortable and at home trying on dresses here. The choices were different enough that I had plenty of styles to choose without having an overwhelming amount to pick from. I love getting to see where the dress was actually made and they even made a cute bow tie for my dog to wear! The dress was so comfortable all night, even for dancing on the beach. Thank you Loulette team!!

THEY MADE EVERYTHING SO AMAZING! i went in with a very specific idea for a custom dress and i am so so happy with how it came out. them being the most lovely people to work with, having a dog and the cutest baby on the planet are just bonuses. i also went with loulette because of where they donate - super vocal about what they believe in and i appreciate that so much. can’t recommend enough.

I cannot imagine having found a dress without Loulette! The whole team was amazing to work with and makes you feel so cared for throughout the whole process. My wife and I actually looked forward to going in for fittings because the vibe at the studio was so immaculate. Would recommend Loulette x1000 to anyone looking for the right wedding day fit, especially if the Traditional Bridal Norm isn't for you. They're the best!!!

I am a proud Loulette bride! I went into dress shopping having no idea what I wanted and the Loulette team - Marteal, Sanaa, and Jillian - helped me find/ create the most perfect dress.It was important to me personally to find a dress from Brooklyn, but not only is Loulette BK based, the independent boutique also focuses on responsible, sustainable and inclusive fashion. S not only did I get the dress of my dreams, but I loved being able to support Marteal and the team’s approach to bridal fashion.The actual experience of going to the studio and working with Jillian to find the dress was truly one of the highlights of the wedding journey! The first trip she helped put me in the large variety of dresses Loulette has to offer and we began to narrow down the look I gravitated towards (A-line). The second trip, I went back thinking I was going to get “Nala,” but I wasn’t sold on the neckline for me. I really liked the neckline of “Jordan.” This is when Sanaa comes around and goes - that’s fine! We can create a dress with the neckline of “Jordan” and the skirt of “Nala.” Voila! My dress was created! Marteal kindly drew up a sketch so I could see what it would look like together.In short - they created a dress that was literally made for me. Not only did I positively love the silhouette, the phenomenal bustle of the skirt and let’s not forget the pockets (!). More than that, the linen organza fabric was simply STUNNING and COMFORTABLE. The dress is truly a work of art. But it was perfect for me as a bride that did not want to be overly “bridal."Every single one of the guests commented on how unique and stunning the dress was and many of my friends have said they want to get married all over again simply to buy their dress from Loulette.You can’t go wrong with supporting this amazing designer and team. The product is worth every reasonable penny and the experience makes it truly a journey to remember!Photo credit: Chelsea Bordonaro

I cannot say enough good things about Loulette!! I ended up buying two outfits from here - a jumpsuit for my civil wedding and a dress for the actual wedding - and absolutely LOVE both of them.Jillian, Sanaa, and the whole team are so great and made the entire process fun, easy, and comfortable. Unlike some of the other shops I visited in early days, I never felt the sales-pitch vibes at Loulette; instead the focus was always about finding the right gown for me, whether at Loulette or not. Sadly I never met Marteal in person, but her creations are incredible.On top of all that, it was amazing to find a shop that’s so well-aligned with my personal values: sustainability and inclusivity-focused, women-owned, and gives back to important causes. What more could a bride want?!

I can't overstate how great my experience with Loulette has been. Their team is incredibly kind, and finding and fitting my wedding dress at Loulette was a supportive and encouraging experience from beginning to end. My dress is a variation of the Campbell Gown, and the try-on and tailoring visits to their studio made it easy for me to feel confident in my own skin and beyond comfortable in my dress. Thank you, Loulette!

I did not come into this expecting to make or want a custom wedding gown, but Loulette made the process so lovely. I brought a bunch of pictures of dresses I liked from elsewhere and Marteal rolled them into the most perfect creation! Go see the wonderful ladies in Greenpoint!

I could not recommend Marteal, Jillian and the Loulette team highly enough! What an absolute joy the process was from start to finish. I honestly was not totally sold on the idea of a "wedding dress" for myself, and came to Loulette as the last dress appointment I was going to make. Walking in, I felt entirely myself and at ease, and fell in love not only with the dress I ended up ordering but with their ethos. If I was going to spend any amount of money on a dress, I absolutely wanted it going to these excellent people. It felt aligned for me to get my dress from a local designer that is sustainable, ethical, responsible and inclusive. I love my dress--it is playful and stunning, the perfect mix that reflects the gravity of the day without taking myself so seriously!

Always so magical walking into Loulette Bride. From the design of the room, to the dresses, to the team, everything is so inviting and beautiful. I designed a wedding dress with Marteal and she made both of my the appointments with her feel so special. She answered all my questions and concerns and took to heart my ideas. I'm looking forward to heading back there later this summer for the final reveal :). Thank you, Loulette Team!

Highly recommend. Staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, extremely generous with their time an expertise. Women-owned totally custom and very thoughtful brand with options for every body and as a bonus they plant a tree for every dress sold. I plan to buy my dress here!

Everyone is enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with, and no part of my vision was compromised while speaking with Marteal who helped make my dream of walking down the aisle in a custom cloak a reality. She is super knowledgeable and knew what I needed to make the outfit more workable for a reception (detachable trail) and helped us find the perfect fabric for the look.
