I always love shopping at Nan Winters store! She truly has some cool stuff! Did some shopping there this week and found 4 fantastic pieces that are so comfortable! Nan picks out really beautiful pieces and I loved visiting with her while shopping! Such a great store and happy shopping experience! Treat yourself to one thing, you will be back for more, I promise! It's that good! read more

Nan Winters - Blue paisley & Pom tunic dress/shirt So beautiful and comfortable! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Petaluma, California

Almost didn't leave a review since they already have so many great ones...but yes, I agree, Nan's store is awesome! Came on a Wednesday so Nan wasn't there, I was helped by Joy, who is pretty awesome too. I was looking for a nice dress, but not formal, told her what I was comfortable in and my favorite colors. I picked a few and she did as well. There were 2 other women shopping as well, over 50 like me, and Joy found time to help us all and was so friendly, helpful and fun. I actually had a good time. Oh! She also showed me some dresses from the sale rack. Its not an inexpensive store, I appreciated that she didn't just ASSUME I didn't want to see the sale dresses too. I never got any pushy vibe either.... I ended up with a dress that I just LOVE...perfect! If you need a nicer dress and appreciate some attention, I highly recommend this shop! Best dress store in Sonoma County!!! read more

I was peering in the window after the shop had closed but Nan invited me in as she was tidying up. She offered to let me try something on but as it was a very hot afternoon and there were too many beautiful & fashionable items (the Indian block light cotton fabric really caught my eye), I told her I would return although I live about 1 hr away. Thank-you Nan, for your gracious welcome. Will surely make it back. Although I didn't but anything (yet), I'm giving Nan Winters 5 stars for excellent taste and a fantastic customer experience. read more

I've shopped at Nan Winters many times, and it's always a good experience. The service is friendly and helpful without being pushy at all. I've purchased several gifts. Nan's jewelry is especially beautiful. Great little shop in Petaluma! read more

Nan has a wonderful selection of dresses. I was looking for a simple yet unique dress for my elopement and didn't feel comfortable going to a typical bridal shop. Nan creates such a comfortable atmosphere and help me find the perfect dress. It was very reasonably priced and fit right off the rack! It was absolutely perfect for my Napa elopement. I don't know what I would have done without Nan! read more

Super rude to my partner. He asked a question and they were very condescending to him for no reason. They treated me differently though...I think they don't like men. read more

Nan Winters is a goddess. She's been in the fashion/retail business for 29+ years, and entering her store filled me with relief. I hate shopping, I hate trying on clothes, and I hate wearing dresses. When I asked my fiance if I could wear pants at our wedding and he flatly refused, I started to sweat a little bit. Okay, a lot. A coworker recommended that I stop in at Nan Winters' store in Petaluma. On a fluke spur-of-the-moment trip to the coast that turned eastward to aim toward wine country, I saw the sign for Petaluma and decided to make a pit stop at 23 4th Street. Nan normally requires brides to make appointments because she only has two changing rooms (and the racks of carefully-selected, eclectic wearables do really beg to be tried on). She, however, made a concession for me given that I had dropped in on a slow Sunday afternoon. Plus one star. While I pored over racks of gorgeous, gorgeous gowns, GT browsed through vintage nudie postcards of women. Plus one star. Nan carries some of the best and brightest in bridal fashion. Sue Wong, Watters and Watters, and SCALA, to name a few that made it into my dressing room. Plus one star. She also carries an exquisite line of locally sewn dreses that are custom made to exactly fit your measurements, at a decent price. Plus one star. During this particular trip I came away empty handed. The dress that GT liked best, I thought made me look like a lampshade, and the swirly skirt I liked best wasn't available in the color I wanted. However, I'm plotting my next trip to Petaluma because Nan can do custom orders for most of what she carries in her store, she is nice enough to let me buy off the rack if I need to (because I am procrastinating beyond belief), and who knows: if I wait a few more weeks maybe she'll have gotten in new shipments of more fabulous threads. I wish her store was closer. Sacramento, in all it's retail glory, really doesn't have a proprieter with the same level of taste and elegance that Nan possesses. The quality of what she offers, though, really is worth the trip. Plus one star. read more

My daughter purchased her prom dress here last year. This shop was a life saver. Long story short; the dress my daughter originally chose didn't work out. We had ONE WEEK to find the perfect dress! There's usually not much to choose from one week before prom; however we came across this lovely shop with a lovely lady. She had the PERFECT dress in the PERFECT color, which fit... (you guessed it), PERFECTLY! Nan has wonderful taste and style. My daughter brought her prom picture in and Nan proudly hung it on her wall. My daughter was beaming 8-). Thanks Nan! read more

What a wonderful store! One of my favorites. Nan is always so welcoming and helpful. The variety is great and I've found some of my best pieces here. Always a treat to shop at Nan's! Thank you! read more

Knowing that my daugther's fiance was going to be deployed to Iraq, they decided to wait until his return for the wedding, so plenty of time to shop and plan. Right.... My husband and I were across the country for a weekend. Got a call from the betrothed couple who said -- we really don't want to wait after all. We want to get married in 9 days because he ships out then. Yikes! Nan Winters to the rescue. My daughter found a beautiful Nicole Miller gown right off the rack that day. She went back the day before the wedding and found a beautiful veil. When i returned to Petaluma on Tuesday, I went right to the shop to look for a dress, only to find the shop closed. A pang of panic!!! But, Nan was in the shop and she kindly let me in. I found a dress. She referred me to a local seamstress who altered it in time for the wedding. Her service and calm-but - rapid responsiveness helped us with one of the most important elements of pulling together a small but very elegant event. BTW, he returned safely from his deployment and the newly weds were happily reunited a year later. read more

I absolutely love this shop! The owner is the sweetest woman you will ever meet, and the dresses are fantastic. I have had the pleasure to purchase my prom dress here and years later my wedding dress! I can say enough good things about this place read more

Nan Winters is friendly, helpful and easy-going. Visiting her shop was a dream after having experienced the nightmare of two large bridal warehouses. You can tell that the shop is influenced by her own artistic, comfortable style and that is exactly what I found in the wedding dress that I ordered from the shop. I am incredibly excited that I am going to be wearing a dress that I'm not going to want to take off right after the ceremony. But enough about the fabulous dress... And more about Nan and her boutique... Not only is there a moderate selection of wedding dresses (I only say moderate because this isn't the place to go if you are looking for a voluminous ball-gown type dress), there is also a large selection of gorgeous dresses that could work for bridesmaids, prom and/or going out for a date or an evening with friends. There are also more casual dresses that can be dressed up or dressed down. In fact, my two friends and I spent about an hour trying on other dresses in the shop after I had chosen my wedding dress. All in all, I cannot say enough good things about Nan, her lovely shop and the experience that I had there. I highly recommend making an appointment with her, especially to brides that are looking for something comfortable and still breath-takingly lovely. read more

Nan is fantastic. I found my wedding dress, necklace, and sparkly sash at her shop. She has a beautiful collection of unique, classy and elegant dresses. I loved the Olvi collection she carries (beautiful and comfortable lace dresses). My dress also arrived super fast. Thanks Nan for the great service and comfortable atmosphere! read more

The loveliest of little shops with bridal gowns, formals, prom and fun casual wears too. Nan is the personal face you'll meet when you walk in. It's very sweet! read more

Visiting from Boston as my sister lives in Petaluma, and having been on the prowl for months to replace my favorite worn-out black leather bag, I walked into Nan Winter's boutique with my daughter Allie. Usually I peek in the window, sometimes I'll step inside, but rarely do I buy anything at overpriced (retail +) places. Cool styles, but then Nan's card says "Cool Stuff", so no surprise. Then I spied it: my new bag. Aubergine (deep purple, eggplant) leather bag with outside pockets, roomy, and I could afford it. Who'd have guessed? On my final hour of a 4-day visit in Petaluma, I purchased my new bag. The best part is that there's no label showing; I'm told that it was handmade in South America, no need for a label to boast the designer. Thank you, Nan Winters. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Nan. I bought my beautiful wedding dress here, and after a long engagement I started to second guess my choice. I called Nan and told her my wedding was in less than two weeks, and she invited me in to try on dresses again. She helped me with several different styles and gave me amazing advice on the matter. I ended up deciding to stick with my original dress from her, but was so relieved that had I changed my mind I had options and I knew Nan would have been there for me. All in all shopping with Nan is the smartest decision you can make for your wedding! Unique dresses, extremely reasonable prices, and the best customer service you're likely to find. read more

I made a bridal appointment with Nan just the other day. Let me just say that after going through the wedding dress shopping experience at other stores, Nan's store is so refreshing. I have found that the wedding industry is a totally inorganic and rigidly constructed... rip off. A wedding is the beginning of a marriage, and it should be as colorful and unique as the couple is. The reason I say this is that Nan has created an environment that allows the bride or bridal party to be themselves. So, the facts: Pretty small wedding section, about a quarter of the store (however, most brides like to shop around... and this place should definitely be on your list.) Dresses of every color, pattern and description... sequins, silk, jersey. Dresses with vintage styling and modern, too... beautiful seems to be the main requirement. A good range of sizes, and Nan seemed to be very aware of how pieces fit. Only two dressing rooms, though Nan was kind enough to allow a girl to use her backroom to change in. Nan also carries dresses in multiple price ranges, and is just as enthusiastic about selling a sale item as she is selling a full price piece. My experience was great there... ultimately it's completely worth the trip! I did not expect to walk out with a dress on my first time in, but I was so charmed by the environment and the dress (on sale, off the rack... perfection.) Really, just fantastic. read more

What a fabulous shop in the heart of Petaluma! Not just bridal- all kinds of beautiful things, clothing, accessories, etc. it's a wonderful store! read more

Not only is Nan the most lovely lady, her shop was the perfect place to find countless gorgeous wedding dresses at a reasonable price. $500-1000 was the bulk of her stock & within my budget. Each dress was prettier than the last. I loved the slightly alternative bride look; very few poofy dresses and instead found endless elegant dresses perfect for every type of wedding. I also very much appreciated that Nan wasn't overly trying to push anything as other shops do. She truly helped me find something that I both loved and looked amazing for my body type. I highly and without hesitation recommend her. Thank you Nan! Wish I could've bought 3 of your dresses! read more

I bought my wedding dress for my wedding on October 27th. It is an amazing and most elegant dress. Nan was amazing and helped me stay in my budget and listened to my needs. Please go see this cute boutique. read more

Nan Winters - My beautiful dress!!! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Petaluma, California

I had a wonderful experience with Nan at her adorable store! I have been searching for my wedding dress for a year and ended up finding it at Nan Winters!!!! I highly recommend this store if you are on the wedding dress hunt. As a last ditch effort I drove the 2 1/2 hours from where I live to Petaluma to check out Nan Winters, because I found out that two of my friends had found their wedding dresses there. I went in with an open mind, hopeful that I would find something different -all the other dresses I had tried on at other shops over the past year (about 30) had been pretty far from what I was hoping for; big, too busy, unflattering cuts, and two much fabric and rouching in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised by Nan's taste. She picks lighter weight, flattering dresses and I found my dress, among a beautiful collection of unique, stylish and simple wedding dresses! I was in shock to have found something so perfect! If you are looking for a beautiful, flattering, and slightly less traditional dress check out Nan Winters! In addition to finding my dress, I had a really fun time at the store. I felt completely at ease to try on veils, and jewelry from around her store, which I had not at any other place. Thank you! I am so excited to wear my dress! read more

Nan herself is an incredible lady. Her shop was the first shop I visited when shopping for my wedding dress. I found the perfect one but I looked around. After visiting bridal shops after bridal shops all I could think about was the 1000 times better service Nan gave me, and the dress nan had. I called her from an hour away explaining my day hoping she'd hold the dress for me. I got to her shop two hours after she normally would have closed due to the traffic on the way there, the sweetheart waited for me, doing some work around the shop. I got the first dress I tried on in her shop. If I could give any bride a bit of advice it would be to visit Nan before you do anything else, she and her shop won't be beat. read more

Nan is the sweetest lady that made bridal dress shopping on a Saturday afternoon really fun with my newly engaged girl friend. After a horrible experience at Bliss (only because of the obnoxious attendant that was helping us), we found a potential "winner" at Nan's. One of her designers (Olvi's) creates wedding dresses in an ivory color with stretchy lace (The Lace Collection) in a variety of styles but all form fitting and apparently really comfortable. This place is a cute little shop, and I would recommend calling ahead to make an appointment or make sure there aren't other appointments when you want to go because only one bride is allowed at a time. Nan was super helpful - not at all bossy or intrusive. read more

Nan was super friendly, relaxed and very helpful, and she owns and runs a really cute store with a lot of vintage inspired pieces. She definitely takes the time to listen to what her customers are looking for, and seemed like she would go above and beyond to help her customers find what they needed. read more

I am so glad that I found this little boutique. Nan was an amazing sales rep, she helped me find my prom dress this year, and without her I probably wouldn't be going to my prom this year. read more

This store is really fun! Nan has such a great eye! Call for hours though...

I was traveling in Northern California and had a night in Petaluma before catching my plane at SFO and happened upon Nan's store -- it was closed but she was still inside working on books/orders and she let me in to look around. Nan is such a lovely person and she has an excellent eye for lovely things. I bought some Jane Tran barrettes, but next time I'm in Petaluma, I will spend more time there to outfit myself. She's right up my alley. Nan, thank you for opening your store to me. I wish I lived closer. read more

Wonderful for vintage-look wedding dress! If the usual stores for wedding dresses aren't working and you want a dress you won't see elsewhere, Nan Winters may be just the place. There were so many my daughter wanted to try on, and when she found the right one, Nan was able to get the order delivered quickly from Europe. Nan's patience throughout the whole process was amazing. And the bride was beautiful. read more

What a whimsical and delightful shop in the heart of historic downtown Petaluma. I drool at the selection of beautiful jewelry and clothing, and only wish I could buy it all. read more

They were really nice, and listened to what I wanted. I took all of that into consideration when reviewing them. What I dropped two stars for: Lack of selection and they were not entirely helpful when trying on the dresses. Sweet ladies and lovely shop, just not my cup of tea. read more

Nan is so great! Her selection of dresses feels unique and well picked out. Some items are well discounted and from previous seasons. But she also has great new and contemporary dresses. She has a great knowledge of the items in the store, and it was such a fun exerience. I wanted a non-traditional wedding dress and she was right there with me helping be decide exactly what I wanted. The shop feels intimate, and Nan feels like an old friend that is there to help in any way. Also, the store is welcoming to shoppers and they sometimes will weigh in on what you are trying on :) Will definitey recommend this store to anyone shopping for a special occasion (it was recommended to me through word of mouth). read more

I just called with a few quick questions, and I cannot believe the wonderful customer service I received. I can't remember the last time I was treated so well. I absolutely can't wait to check out their shop! :-) read more

Bought my wedding dress and my mother's dress here. What an amazing store! We were on a big budget and found a unique dress in my relatively low price range. So pleased! We love Nan! read more

Every single time I go into Nan's shop I end up leaving with a bag :) Her clothing designs are lovely and premium quality. Her wedding dresses are so gorgeous and unique, not like those chain wedding stores. This is the place to go if you are looking for unique handmade wedding dresses AND they are completely affordable! Nan Winters is a "boutique", and not just geared towards wedding apparel either. She has a great selection of quality-made casual clothing and also great evening gowns and dresses. Her stuff flys off the racks too so its best to keep checking in about every few weeks because she's always brings in new styles so you want to get them while they are available. My favorite clothing store ever!~ Thanks Nan! read more

Nan Winters is a treasure! I've loved her store for years - she has wonderful unique clothing and accessories. Several times a week someone admires the purse that I bought there. Then when I was planning my wedding, and I just wanted a simple elegant dress, her store was perfect for me. I looked at all of the local bridal shops, and the dresses were more expensive and I saw very little that I liked. At Nan Winter's shop, the whole experience was relaxed and comfortable, and she has a great selection of elegant dresses that are unique and don't make a woman look like a giant cake. I ended up with a gorgeous Nicole Miller silk dress for about $400. She also has a great selection of dresses for mother of the bride, bridesmaids, prom, and parties. Lots of free parking nearby, and she's close to some great lunch spots. read more

Nan is wonderful beyond words and truly a lady too. How great that Petaluma ended up with her. I have purchased some of my most favorite things from her. Red dress $139 Night out on the town $500 Na's advise PRICELESS This red dress has been requested too. Now that should say it all. I have also purchased very well recieved gifts here too, purses, necklaces, earrings all the wonderful things we women like. I also recommend this to my mom that had a friend that needed a vintage wedding dress, she was thrilled, found a dress she loved and has promised to shop there again. read more

I found this place by accident and stumbled upon The Dress. My wedding is in two weeks and up until I came in here, I wasn't sure what to do about my dress. Nan was very sweet and helpful - but not pushy or bossy. She showed me some dresses I wouldn't have thought of - and ended up getting one. She helped me accessorize with earrings - she called me when a particular pair showed up that she thought would go perfect with the 40's flair of the dress. The wedding dresses are all reasonably priced - under $1000. And they are simple and stunning! No ball gown styles - all sleek and sophisticated. I highly recommend this shop for a beautiful dress made exceptionally well. read more

this place is a treat. Everything is good quality and Nan has great taste. You can't go wrong. Thanks for your help picking out great gifts. You'll be seeing me again soon. read more

I bought my wedding dress, veil and shawl at Nan's. I loved my dress! It was perfect form the moment I put it on. It was so beautiful and so comfortable I never wanted to take it off. Nan is helpful, but low-key, perfect for a nervous bride. Definitely check her store out when shopping for bridal dresses. And, she has a good selection of other clothes too! read more

I love Nan Winters! She actually went to school with my mom. The best dress shop in town! I walked in there one day with my mom and I had one goal in mind.... I wanted to get my wedding dress from Nan. I wasn't going to go anywhere else but her store. She was so helpful and fun to work with. I walked in and I didn't need an appointment. She let me try on all her dresses. It was such a fun day. The first dress I tried on, I ended up purchasing. The dress was in my budget which made me so happy. The dress is unique, simple and beautiful at the same time. One of Nan's words of advice, is that you want to choose a dress that you can wear not a dress that wears you. Most dress shops will carry the biggest and best dress you can find at the biggest price ever. Nan, sells dress that brides can afford. Nan, is so wonderful! I love going into her store! I recommend all women shop in her store. Not just for a wedding dress but any type of dress. She is the best! :) read more
