I really enjoyed working with Tony to make alterations to my wedding dress, she is so thoughtful and kind. Additionally, she helped my family with another alteration to prepare a curtain like item for a Hindu wedding ceremony, she went above and beyond to make that happen and I am deeply grateful to her. I would highly recommend this family business to anyone looking for wedding dress alterations or guest-of-wedding dress alterations.

She was quick to respond over email when setting up my appointment and even sent a thoughtful reminder the day before. The boutique itself is beautiful, had tons of options, and thanks to Mia I said yes to the dress! Truly a 1200/10 experience -- I can't recommend Garnish enough! ps. the entrance is in the upper level

I went to several bridal boutiques, but my experience at Garnish was 100% the best. When I walked…read morein, I just had that magical feeling that I would find my dress here - and indeed I did! I am, historically, a very indecisive person. I came in after appointments at other salons and was feeling confused about what I really wanted. Garnish's systematic process helped me figure out what I actually envisioned. What to expect: when you arrive, you wait outside and are asked to wash your hands before entering. This made me nervous that the salon would be very uptight/snooty. However, this was not the case. Mia greeted us warmly and I noticed that all the dresses were in such pristine condition-- maybe bc of the hand-washing. You start by exploring all the options, organized logically by style/sleeve/amount of detail, etc. and choosing 10-15 to try on. Then, based on what you like/don't like, Mia will choose other options. Mia would often direct me as to which dress I should try on next -- for example, I tried on a fitted dress, so she'd advise me to try on a ballgown next to compare. This made a huge difference in discerning what style I actually liked and helped the process feel less overwhelming. She even would give direction on how to stand or which mirror to look at to get the full effect of the dress - I loved this attention to detail. In terms of the collection... I truly loved every single dress here - it definitely fit within the style I wanted (elegant, modern, unique). Every gown I tried on felt special and I was often surprised they weren't more expensive given the high-fashion feel. But what really stood out was the amount of space and time Mia allowed us. First - I was the only bride. My mom and I had the whole place to ourselves to fully explore, gab, and discuss. Second, Mia often would go to the back, leaving privacy for us to honestly discuss dresses without feeling pressured to like something. When I had narrowed down to two dresses, Mia again went to the back and gave me space to call my dad/brother/aunt to get their opinions and share in the moment with them. The appointment was only for an hour - but we ended up being there for close to 2.5 -3 hours. And never did I feel that Mia was tired of us. As someone who will spend hours making a pros/cons list between two choices, the patience Mia gave me to pro/con every detail... I do not know if I would have ever chosen a dress without that. And the best part, I got my dress on sample sale! tldr; most beautiful dress selection I've seen in the DMV and the kind of patience and direction I needed from a bridal consultant! I had a magical time.

What can I say, this experience was nothing short of amazing! I was on the hunt for a bridal dress…read moreand tried everything from a lace slip dress by Free People, to scoping out dresses amongst the masses at the scary David's Bridal, to trekking to Georgetown to the J. Crew Bridal only to be unimpressed, and finally stopping by Francesca's Bridal in Baltimore. Despite seeing several dresses I liked, I knew I wanted to have mine made. My mother is an avid reader of The Washington Post and had seen an article about Jill and her involvement with a Johns Hopkins team redesigning Ebola suits. I realized that her atelier is located in Hampden just a few minutes from where I live. I contacted her team prior to beginning my search and they let me know the price range and options. I decided to keep looking but ultimately reached out again months later and scheduled an appointment. As soon as I walked through the door I knew it would be a great endeavor. Jill is just the most lovely woman and despite creating intricate, complex, elegant, and stunning dresses was not at all snobbish or intimidating but accessible and spot on with my vision of the gown. She drew a sketch and that was that! Every little detail was incorporated, for the most part on that first day, with neat additions later on during the process. She is such a pro that she guessed by sight my measurements at my first fitting. Jill's original assistant Mia, moved out of Baltimore and was replaced by Sarah. Both women are wonderful, stylish, muses for the studio and the transition was seamless. I followed up to confirm an appointment and Sarah promptly responded. There were a few tragic, unforeseen events which meant changing appointments, but I was so impressed with Jill's utter dedication to her clients. The JAG team was always focused on the final product and their continued expert pacing. The dress creation is a process but the most fun and luxurious one a bride can imagine. If you or someone you know is tying the knot soon and wants to have a couture dress to wear and cherish for years to come, contact the Jill Andrews team. I can assure you, Jill delivers exactly what you have in mind. I've seen her creations from beach/boho to Alice in Wonderland and even Christian Dior style corset underpinnings. The best part of my dress was the Sophie Hallette lace which supplies to Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. It really helped the whimsical Midsummer Night's Dream aesthetic I was going for. They also sell bridal mix + match separates, fascinators, and do dress alterations.

I contacted Jill after my wedding gown was badly damaged by another local seamstress. From the…read morebeginning, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. (As was Mia, Jill's assistant.) Their studio looks like something out of a movie or a fairy tale, full of beautiful fabric, dress forms modeling Jill's fantastic creations, mirrors, antique furniture (to match their wonderful historic building), and about a million sewing machines. Jill was very reassuring about repairing my dress, which was especially important to me since I'd had such a bad experience previously. I never doubted her capabilities, and was continually impressed with how meticulous she was, catching details that even I had overlooked. She treated my silk dress very gently, and did her best to undo the damage that had been done. She asked lots of questions and took notes during the initial consultation, and took even more measurements and notes at our second appointment. By the third appointment, the dress was nearly complete and everything had been done beautifully! She only had another hour of work left on it, so offered to drop it off at my home when it was finished. Above and beyond! The quality of Jill's work is amazing. She took the back of my dress, which was cut up and fraying, and put in a gorgeous corset back. She even reinforced the seams to be extra sure everything would lace evenly and hold up under stress. Jill also removed yards of unevenly sewn tulle--which I'm sure took a very gentle touch--and replaced it with properly gathered and sewn tulle. When she was done, my dress looked even better than when I'd bought it. So basically, whether you've got a damaged dress, a vintage dress in need of alterations, or an imaginary dress you've been dreaming of your whole life, Jill's your gal! Jill saved my wedding dress when I'd given up hope on it, and I am so thankful that she was a part of one of the most important days of my life.

She took her time to think and pull dresses I didn't even ask to see, as well as variations of ones I liked. The pillow she puts into the dress so you can see what you will look like (genius). I went to 5 stores before this one and noone did that! 3rd: She didn't stop at the dress, she put on belts, veils, whatever you wanted or was thinking she worked with it. I felt like I was on princess diaries as she transformed my look and made me feel like we will get there. 4th: I think we tried over 15 dresses on and then tried on my top 2 favorites again. She never bat an eye about that and was encouraging. I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! 5th: The bag they give you when you purchase your dress, cherry on top! Truly so special. As I drove home I couldn't help but wish I went to Lilys Bridal first but I do believe everything happens for a reason and I found Kim at the right time in my process.
