The English Dept.

Lovely small boutique featuring beautiful dresses, all affordable. This is not a pretentious bridal boutique - the women were all so sweet and patient while I tried on a zillion dresses. They gave honest feedback and were very helpful when it came to placing my order. My dress was absolutely perfect - it delivered on time and only needed minor alterations. I highly recommend this place!

Recommended highly! I found a beautiful dress and they were very helpful to me even from many thousands of miles away. Would recommend to anyone living or traveling to Portland

Elizabeth Dye not only creates beautiful dresses herself, she carries a line of lovely wedding dresses for those who aren't into "wedding dresses." She went out of her way to help make my dress something I was lukewarm about to a semi-custom creation that I loved.

Elizabeth Dye at the English Dept created the dress that I wore for my wedding. She did a wonderful job creating a really unique dress that I LOVED! If you are looking for something less traditional you should check her out, you're not going to find oversized princess ball gowns or anything like that, but she does have beautiful wedding and bridesmaid dresses from her own line as well as from Vera Wang, Jennie Yoo, Thread and Simple Silhouettes. And the best part is that she's really affordable!!!
