Reviews for The Gown Shop
GUEST




I got my dress at The Gown Shop during the sample sale and I was so happy with it! I felt like I had their attention because it's just one girl per hour, and Audrey was lovely about having me try the different accessories with my dress so I could get the full picture. While I imagine the shop is smaller than most bridal salons, they have wide ranging styles and are great for small- to mid-range budgets, so I really got to try on a lot of great dresses. Very quick and easy to find something I liked!
GUEST




Stacy was SUCH a pleasure to work with. Literally, the second dress I tried on (and she picked it out!) was MY dress. To make the deal even sweeter, they were having a trunk show and the dress was not only gorgeous, but a steal. Stacy's assistant was on her game- she contacted me to confirm the appointment which was much appreciated. I cannot wait to go back and purchase one of their stunning veils.
I cannot picture a more relaxed and FUN way to find your wedding gown.
GUEST




Stacy and Audrey were amazing! They make the appointment all about the bride-to-be by making the appointments just for you and your guests. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on and couldn't be happier with my choice. Stacy emailed me the day before with pictures of dresses that were in the window and the one I asked her to pull was the one! I chose a modern trousseau and I could make modifications which was so nice. I can't wait until it arrives and I can try it on!! I would highly recommend TGS to all future brides!
GUEST




I went to several different dress shops in both Ann Arbor and Columbus and my experience at The Gown Shop was far above and beyond that of any other boutique or store. The atmosphere and personal service really made me feel special. Both my mom and bridesmaid who accompanied me were blown away, not only by the store, but by the dresses as well. Stacy is very knowledgeable and professional, as well as extremely patient and helpful. You can tell she truly loves being in the business. I am so thankful I went to the Gown shop, and I am so excited about my dress!
GUEST




Stacy is just a joy! Talk about a woman who knows what she is talking about. She thoroughly explained every dress in terms of material, style, detailing, everything you could want to know. Her enthusiasm and genuine attitude made my experience one I will never forget. Thank you for being such a HUGE part of my dream!! :)
GUEST




I worked with Stacy and she was great to work with. She made the experience very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend The Gown Shop to my friends.
GUEST




I absolutely love The Gown Shop and love my dress! I would recommend The Gown Shop to all current and future brides, you will not be disappointed. The selection of dresses and the personal service given at The Gown Shop is one of a kind.
GUEST




I cannot say enough about the ladies at The Gown Shop in Ann Arbor. It was a truly unique experience where you were the only point of focus. Audrey was my bridal consultant, and she was so attentive to the styles I was gravitating towards. I ended up finding the most perfect dress and veil. Audrey and Stacy were able to get the dress custom-made with my requests, and I can't wait to wear my Caroline DeVillo gown on my big day next year as a TGS bride.
GUEST




Stacy and her team at the Gown Shop went above and beyond for my dress fitting. It was more enjoyable and comfortable than I had ever imagined. I found my dream dress and my dream gown shop.
GUEST




Stacey and Audrey are absolutely wonderful to work with! They really take the time to help you find the dress of your dreams. They listen to your likes and dislikes and are just happy to make your big day special!!! I would recommend The Gown Shop to anyone!
GUEST




Stacy and Audrey were wonderful. The shop is so adorable, inviting, and has so many gorgeous dresses and accessories. It is exactly where you dream of getting your dress! The selection of dresses is great, with unique designers and options that you won't see on every bride. They give you 1 on 1 attention that is unparalleled! Thank you for a fantastic experience!
GUEST




I have nothing but positive things to say about The Gown Shop. Stacey and Audrey were amazing. They made me feel like a princess. They treated me like a sister. They were not in the least bit pushy and totally catered to me. Both were extremely nice and very helpful. I love the one-on-one attention. They really listened to me and what I wanted and found me my perfect dress. TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
GUEST




Very cute shop wit beautiful dresses. Not as large of a selection as some stores. Perfect for someone looking for a more artsy or vintage/relaxed chic feel. The staff does a fantastic job of listening to what you are looking for and helping you find your perfect dress.
They also have a wonderful selection of shoes and accessories!
GUEST




I really appreciated that the gown shop conducts appt. on a one on one basis. I felt comfortable with Stacy and felt that she listened to my lime and dislike and guided my appt accordingly. I did purchase a dress at my appt and look forward to returning for accessories and fittings.
GUEST




The Gown Shop was amazing to work with from beginning to end - they truly made the day for my friends, family, and I, and now armed with my dress and accessories (and shoes!) I'm even more excited for my big day!
GUEST




I absolutely loved working with TGS! Stacy and Audrey are absolutely doing what they were meant to do in life. I had been so unsure about dress shopping and was stuck in the "everything is pretty how do i pick one??" mindset and Audrey really helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted! I ended up purchasing a gorgeous Ivy and Aster dress in a sample sale and I couldn't be happier with it. On top of their awesome service, the studio is so welcoming and just fun to be in! most other bridal boutiques were hectic, crowded and full of "assistants" that just seemed annoyed when I asked for help. I literally walked in and thought "I love it here, every dress I see is my style, and I feel comfortable buying from this company!" I can't wait to wear my dress!!
GUEST




The Gown Shop was so great to work with. They were extremely responsiveness to all of my requests and were very helpful in customizing my gown. I am in love with the dress and was very happy to support this shop. Loved the atmosphere and personal attention we received!
GUEST




The girls at the gown shop were fun, supportive, and made my dress shopping feel unique. They helped me envision what I wanted and even came up with a design concept to make me feel comfortable in my dress. I would highly recommend The Gown Shop to any bride looking for that boutique experience.
GUEST




Love this place! Their dresses are beautiful and the service is great!
GUEST




The Gown Shop in Ann Arbor is a one of a kind, exceptional experience. The store is shut down for you by appointment so that you can freely look and try on dresses with just you and your closest family and friends. Stacy, the owner of the shop, takes time with you and really listens to your wants and needs as a bride. She really knows her stuff and made me feel like I was in good hands. I honestly felt like I was a movie star the day I picked my dress out-as any bride should. I cant say enough about how wonderful the shop and Stacy was. An amazing experience and beautiful gowns.. EVERY bride needs to experience and purchase their one of a kind gown at The Gown Shop.
GUEST




I need would have thought that dress shopping would have been such a great experience. The individual appointment and caring service was entirely more that I ever could have asked for. I had 2 other appointments the day that I went dress shopping, but I said yes to my dress after roughly 50 minutes and cancelled my other appointments.
GUEST




I went to the gown shop to a sample sale. It wasn’t my intentions to purchase a dress that day, but since I saw a dress that I was very interested in, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to look. My mom and I arrived at the shop and Stacy greeted us and before we even looked at the gowns, she sat down for a consultation. We discussed all the important things; style, shape, and budget. I gave her an idea that my heart was set on lace. We went through the racks of gorgeous gowns and I pulled way more options than I thought I would. Each dress I tried on, Stacy asked, “Now, what don’t you love about this?” She helped me articulate my vision so clearly that it only took about 7 dresses before I found the one. It was actually a dress that she pulled for me that I had at first overlooked. She explained based on my feedback, this is probably going to be one that I would love. She was right! I put it on and bought it right then, it was just too perfect! That is expertise if I’ve ever seen it! The dress, left to my own devices would have been missed, but with Stacy’s guidance, I found that dress of my dreams!! It is so “me”…and I know my Fiancé’ will love that about it. Thank you, Stacy!!
GUEST




Stacy and everyone at The Gown Shop was amazing to work with. They were super responsive and trying on dresses was exactly what I imagined it would be like. I would recommend Stacy and her store to anyone searching for the perfect dress and an easy, fun and stress free experience.
GUEST




Stacy was a fantastic host for my wedding dress shopping party! She could tell before I did what I liked and what I loved. The gown shop is an amazing space as well - there is only one bride at a time and it feels so intimate. No pressure at all! I highly recommend Stacy and the gown shop to anyone looking for a dress, shoes, or accessories.
GUEST




I bought a dress from The Gown Shop that I had found on Preownedweddingdresses.com. It was not a used dress, but a sample dress, new with tags. Communication was a little slow but the customer service was EXCELLENT! Especially since everything was done via email. The gown I purchased is gorgeous! and the price was so much cheaper than I would have been able to find anywhere else. The Gown Shop was even willing to work with me a little bit on the price (which was already well below the market value). The amount I spent was ultimately out of my budget, but I don't regret it for a second. Don't hesitate to buy from The Gown Shop!
GUEST




Stacey was extremely helpful in assisting with picking out my bridal gown. She was very present in the process, helping me filter out what I liked/didn't like and pulled/put back dresses that reflected those choices. She was present, but not overbearing, like some bridal shop owners can be. We tried on dresses in order of styles to help figure out what I liked best. She was very accomodating and let me come back in to the shop to purchase the dress/gown after mulling it over at lunch. She understood my personality and helped me pick out the dress that reflected it. She also had a knowledge base of what looked good on my body.
GUEST




My experience at The Gown Shop was wonderful. To be honest, I wasn't very excited about trying on dresses (it's just not my thing). My entire outlook changed when I saw their beautiful selection, and was able to work with such nice professionals. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a wedding dress!!!
GUEST




This shop is fabulous! They take care of their customers and grant all of their bridal dreams!
GUEST




Stacy has been AWESOME to work with. She has gorgeous dresses, discerning taste, and a very cool spot in downtown AA. I highly recommend her and The Gown Shop!
GUEST




I absolutely loved my experience with The Gown Shop. Stacy and Audrey were wonderful to work with and their boutique is the perfect place. I love that it's by appointment only and you are their only client at that time. Their gowns are beautiful and elegant and they carry some designers that aren't available at any other store in Michigan. I booked my appointment after learning about their sample sale last fall. It was my first time ever trying on dresses and I walked in clueless about wedding fashion and felt a little intimidated. They immediately put me at ease and made the appointment fun. Audrey suggested a dress that she felt fit my personality and it ended up being the one. And best of all, it was part of the sample sale and more than half off the original price so I was able to stick to my budget. I also bought my veil and accessories there and will be returning for shoes!
GUEST




I had a wonderful experience buying my dress at the Gown Shop and working with Stacy. I can't wait to wear it next July!
GUEST




After watching Stacy help my sister to find her perfect dress, I knew that, when my time came, I had to go to the Gown Shop. Everything about the Gown Shop is perfect. The dresses are not only beautiful but they were all of noticeably higher quality than dresses at other shops. When you're trying on, Stacy takes her time to make sure that the dress fits you the best it can, so that you can actually see yourself in it - unlike other shops that quickly pin you into something and make you carry it around the shop to show your friends and family. It is obvious how much Stacy loves what she does and she is very good at it! I couldn't be happier with my dress and I can't wait to wear it next summer! I would HIGHLY recommend Stacy and the Gown Shop to my friends and family!

GUEST




Thank you so much to the Gown Shop for being so patient with me during my dress search! I went back three times, and received the same attention and level of service each time. I love that they only take one appointment at a time, as it can be very intimidating to try on wedding dresses with lots of strangers around.
GUEST




Love, love, love the Gown Shop! The store is stunning along with the beautiful dresses. Great selection that fits big to small budgets. The service was great too. I highly recommend!
GUEST




Personal attention, never felt rushed or pressured. The Gown Shop helped me look at dresses that I would have never looked good on me. Beautiful dresses that are American/Canadian made. Pleasent, proffessional staff. Nice location.
GUEST




The Gown Shop has been absolutely wonderful to work with! My mom and I loved being able to make an appointment and have the shop to ourselves. Audrey listened to my preferences, helped me select several different gowns within my budget, and was very helpful in pointing out some ways to customize the gown and to find matching veils. She and Stacy made it so fun and so easy to find the perfect gown :)
GUEST




great vendor! I love seeing new young vendors that have everything together. Gave really good advice and service.
GUEST




The most loveliest shop a bride could ever image. Truly a brides DREAM! Would not have wanted to get my dress anywhere else!
GUEST




Stacy and Audrey were so great to work with! They really try to help you find what you like without being pushy or overbearing. They are so pleasant to work with.
GUEST




The Gown Shop provided an amazing setting for finding THE dress. The staff was helpful, caring and considerate.
GUEST




The Gown Shop is the best! I went in wanting to just try some things on and ended up finding the dress of my dreams. The staff are friendly and attentive. The designers are incredible. I ordered a custom dress and the designer sent some great sketches.
I would suggest that everyone try the Gown Shop!
GUEST




Love this shop. I found my dream wedding dress! The staff was very nice and very helpful.
GUEST




Exceptional service. Found the dress of my dreams! Sales assistants didn't focus on money or upselling but making sure I got the best dress for me. Thanks so much.
GUEST




I had already gotten my dress and went to The Gown Shop for a veil and accessories. They only do private consultations and were very professional and fun to work with.
GUEST




Perfect place to go wedding dress shopping! Everything from the store to the employees was amazing!
GUEST




I scheduled my appointment with The Gown Shop, because of other positive reviews and there was a specific dress that caught my eye. I couldn't be happier that my first experience trying on dresses was at this shop. When you make an appointment the entire store closes for you and your guests. Stacy is professional, sweet, and makes you feel like a friend. She is very responsive and has kept me updated about my dress.
GUEST




Excellent experience!! I would highly recommend the Gown Shop who is looking for a personal boutique experience!
GUEST




We had a great afternoon - the Gown Shop spent over two hours with me and my family while I tried on dresses. Beautiful dresses and very personalized visit!
GUEST




I loved my experience at the Gown Shop and Stacy was fantastic. She was patient and really helped me chose the perfect dress. I really appreciated the one-on-one attention and her willingness to get me right in if I had any questions or wanted to look at other accessories. I would definitely recommend the Gown Shop for any bride who wants to feel like a princess.
GUEST




I went to The Gown Shop for my bridal accessories because it was near my home town, and I wanted make it into a girl family event. Firstly, The Gown Shop is LOVELY, impeccably clean, well maintained, great lighting, vast selection, and of course, great staff. Stacy is a gem to work with. Even though I was only looking for accessories, Stacy let me slip into a bridal gown similar to the one I am wearing in order to get the full effect.
I must have tried on every pair of earrings, bracelet, veils, etc. and once I knew what I was looking for, Stacy said she could special order it for me from the designer. I was nervous about this b/c I never saw the actual pieces before I bought them. However, when I received them a few weeks later (Stacy followed up on the whole process including ensuring their safe delivery and to make sure I was happy!) I was THRILLED. They were spot on and Stacy was right! They looked fabulous.
Even better, Stacy took the time during the appointment to talk about bustle options, shoes, and the overall dress fit. Really she is an expert in the bridal world and Ann Arbor is lucky to have her!
Icing on the cake (literally) the cookies on the way out.
If you want your bridal appointment to feel personalized and special, The Gown Shop is the way to go.
GUEST




I only shopped for my bridal gown at this store! I love the quality of dresses that they have. They made this experience easy, comfortable and fun!
GUEST




Stacey is a wonderful person! She was so helpful, and her store has an amazing and unique selection. I never would have found a dress like mine anywhere else, and I wouldn't trade the great experience she makes out of it for anything!
GUEST




My experience at The Gown Shop in Ann Arbor, MI is exactly what wedding dress shopping should be. You are the only appointment at your scheduled time so there are no distraction and not a bunch of people there. The fitting room is large and able to fit you, all your dresses and your bridal consultant. The bridal consultant spends some time getting your opinion about the dress before pulling back the curtain and revealing you to your friends and family. They don't pressure you. They let you make the decision without giving their opinion. They have an amazing selection of fashion forward gowns, accessories, shoes, etcs. Stacy and her staff can't be beat. GO TO THE GOWN SHOP. You won't be disappointed.
GUEST




Shopping for a bridal gown can be a daunting task, but Stacy made me feel completely at ease, from the moment I booked the appointment to moment I made my purchase. Stacy guided me through the process with a smile and welcoming personality that felt like we had been friends forever. The gowns in her shop are gorgeous, completely elegant. I also loved that it was a personal, private appointment set in such a cute, boutique setting. I was able to make customized adjustments to the dress to make it exactly what I wanted! The Gown Shop truly stands out and sets the bar high with their customer service and beautiful gown selection.
GUEST




This store was very easy to work with. They give you a once in a lifetime, private and personal appointment with just you and whoever you bring. The store is gorgeous and they have beautiful gowns.
GUEST




Stacy is really great with helping you stay within your budget and making the process fun and supportive. Greatest bridal shop in the Ann Arbor area! Upscale but won't break the bank.
GUEST




Stacy, the owner of The Gown Shop, is amazing. She's extremely friendly and helpful without being overbearing. She really knows what will look good on your figure and works with you to figure out what you want even when you have no idea. She's great with suggesting accessories and narrowing down decisions. What I loved the most about Stacy is that I had no idea what I wanted and she was able to help find me exactly what I really wanted. The shop is really cute, inviting and really spacious.
GUEST




Stacy is friendly, professional and has a good eye for beautiful dresses that won't break the bank. She promptly returned all of my phone calls and emails. I recommend setting up an appointment with her if you are interested in the designers she carries.
GUEST




Stacy and her team at The Gown Shop are phenomenal to work with. Appointments are individually scheduled so you really get personal service. I didn't start knowing what I wanted, but Stacy listened and offered advice where needed. I also purchased my wedding day jewelry there (and even got to try on options with my dress) and they couldn't have been more helpful and fun. Stacy is also really responsive over email, answering any little question I could come up with. I would highly recommend The Gown Shop experience to anyone!
GUEST




the gown shop is heaven. rather than wasting your time pouring over racks of mediocre clothes, it's so much easier to just start with stacy and her great eye. and having a direct, personal experience with her makes everything simpler. she's probably my favorite wedding vendor. i'm ordering 1-2 social dresses from her as well.
GUEST




Working with the Gown Shop has been the highlight of my wedding planning experience. I love that they only take one appointment at a time because you truly feel like you're the most important person during that time and it creates a stress-free atmosphere that is much needed during that wedding planning time. Plus Stacy was just outstanding - she knew exactly what I was looking for, but still let me try on a range of dresses for the experience. Also because of her impecable taste, I ended up with not only a dress (after my first shopping appt) but also a veil, flower for my hair and bird cage veil - I plan on alternating hair pieces throughout the day (not wearing all at once :). I couldn't have asked for a better experience and my mom and grandma, who were with me, completely agree! I highly recommend!
GUEST




I found The Gown Shop because I was looking for a unique wedding dress and had become discouraged looking at many other dress stores. My family and all my bridesmaids live several hours away and I knew exactly the type of dress I was looking for, so I went to my appointment at The Gown Shop solo. I know some brides could never imagine buying a dress on their own, but for me, it was PERFECT! Within minutes of meeting her, Stacy felt like an old friend and understood the type of wedding we are planning and the style of dress I was looking for. She gave me her honest opinion and I didn't even think twice about purchasing a gown without anyone else seeing it. I never thought buying a dress could be so fun and relaxed!
GUEST




Stacy and her gown shop are fantastic! She has excellent taste, and her hand-picked gown selection does not disappoint. Her shop is like a posh dressing room and you have her undivided attention during your visit. I would recommend anyone in the area to check out The Gown Shop!
GUEST




By having you as the only bride in the store during your appointment, Stacy is able to give you very personal and attentive service. This was the total opposite of my experience with a large wedding boutique where I felt like the sales person had better things to do than listen to my wants regarding my gown. The service at The Gown Shop was one of the deciding factors in my decision to get my gown here. Plus, the selection of short dresses was much better than anywhere else in town.
GUEST




Stacy is so great! She knows her designers and materials, and works hard for her brides. The shop is beautiful and in a great location. Both of my younger sisters want to come back to her shop one day when they get married because it was such a pleasant experience.
GUEST




Stacy was wonderful! Every dress in the shop was beautiful. I had the best experience and would send all my friends to The Gown Shop.
GUEST




I'll start by saying that I'm not one to just hand out stellar reviews, nor do I review very often. Having said that, when I was looking for reviews of TGS there weren't any to find. This has to change, people must know how amazing Stacy's shop is and how amazing Stacy is herself!
The incredible selection of designers is what drew me in. Stacy and her incredible presence and warmth are icing on the cake. Stacy is a goddess! She truly goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and completely taken care of. I would (and will) recommend her to everyone. Where else can you not only get a spectacular gown, but also flawless service and hospitality?
GUEST




Stacy was welcoming, helpful and had the perfect selection of dresses. This is a one of a kind store. I wasn't comparing prices on dresses, I just knew I had to get my dress from her. I support Ann Arbor business and this one is a true gem.
GUEST




The most comfortable, cheery, fun, flexible, classy place a bride could ask for! I ended up purchasing not only my dress but my shoes and veil from here because she had exactly what I wanted, and it just didn't make sense to go hunting for it anywhere else. Thanks Stacy for being awesome!
Vendor response to review
Thanks, Elle! <3
GUEST




The shop has a unique selection, great atmosphere, and great service!
GUEST




Great experience! Stacey was super helpful and not at all overbearing. She really listened to what I wanted and helped me find it.
GUEST




Stacy is absolutely amazing. She makes you the ONLY client, she treats you like the bride you deserve to be treated like. She is not pushy, her gowns are beautiful and her goal is to find you THE dress, not just A dress. I had a perfect experience and have referred everyone I talk to. It is a 5 star boutique with quality gowns and impeccable service!!!
GUEST




I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience at The Gown Shop! I LOVE my dress, I love the boutique, I love the selection of gowns and that you are the only bride in the store at one time. I felt special and like they truly cared about my vision and what best complimented my body! I would recommend The Gown Shop to anyone who wants to make buying their dress an experience, not just a check on this list! Quality gowns, quality service and amazing professionalism! I LOVED everything about my experience with The Gown Shop!
GUEST




I had probably tried on over 50 dresses and felt like there was no hope left to find the perfect wedding dress. Stacy was professional, kind, understanding, and tried to understand who I was to find my perfect dress! She did just that! My dress was perfect for me and I loved it! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who's in the process of getting married!
GUEST




I am a pretty low-key person with no idea of what sort of bridal look I wanted and, somehow, Stacy provided the perfect shopping experience for me. I shopped with my Dad, who is a pretty understated guy, and after we left he RAVED about Stacy and all that she has created at TGS.
Selection: The Gown Shop (TGS) hits the sweet spot of enough variety to assure that you have the world of gowns at your fingertips, but a manageable enough selection to keep you from feeling overwhelmed. I specifically went in to check out the Ivy & Aster trunk show, because TGS is the only shop in Michigan that carries the line, but found myself floored by how great all of the designers carried by the store. From traditional to modern and romantic to glamorous, TGS offers the perfect look for brides across the fashion spectrum.
Experience: The shop is located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor and is beautifully styled. TGS is nothing like the insanity of “Say Yes to the Dress”, which was my point of reference. Stacy gives you her undivided attention for the appointment and the only people shopping during your appointment time are you and your guests. It is relaxed, intimate and there is absolutely no pressure to hurry up and purchase. There were also delicious cookies from Sweet Heather Anne’s on hand, which is certainly the way to my heart.
The least stressful and most exciting part of my wedding planning, so far, has been working with Stacy. It has been great to support an amazing local business and I am suggesting The Gown Shop to all of my friends!
GUEST




Stacy at The Gown Shop is wonderful to work with! She helped me get everything I needed for my bridesmaid dresses, going above and beyond. Stacy also had a quick response to all of my many questions.
GUEST




Stacy was extremely personable and I really appreciated that I was the only appointment at that time and she could focus all her energy (the whole shop) on me. She was so extremely knowledgeable and helpful when discussing accessories, the bustle, alterations... everything. I had been to 4 or 5 other boutiques before I went to the Wedding Shoppe and I had by far the BEST experience with Stacy's service. I have recommended her to several of my friends and co-workers that are getting married.
GUEST




Stacey is so amazing, and leaves not detail unnoticed. Her level of service is outstanding, and she insured my gown was perfect!! Highly recommend!!!
GUEST




My experience at The Gown Shop was absolutely everything a bride could want. Stacy was attentive, helpful, kind and patient. She listened to what I was saying about what type of person I am, what styles I like, and what I wanted to look like on my wedding day, and she guided those things into the perfect dress for me. I could not be more pleased or in love with the dress we found. The appointment was sweet and sincere, which is a hard feeling to come by in a large store with many people and garments floating around. She has a great selection of unique and classic dresses alike. I would and do recommend this store to any and every bride-to-be!
GUEST




Let me just start off by saying, my decision to get my dress here was almost as easy as saying yes to marrying my best friend : ) The experience I had at The Gown Shop was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Stacey was so easy to talk to and very accomodating to my late work hours. Finding your wedding gown is no easy task. After everything is said and done, I wish I had gone here first. Stacey made the entire experience so enjoyable and made the process so easy. She has gorgeous gowns for every body type and beautiful accessories to go with it. I couldn't get enough of the shop and had to get a sash and veil from here as well. I would highly recommend this shop!!
GUEST




Do not go elsewhere for your dress, TGS is the ONLY place to get the true bride experience. Not only does Stacy have the best and most diverse selection in her shop, she is classy, intelligent, and simply put, the best. It took me about four visits, but I knew my dress was somewhere in the shop. Stacy had the patience to help me find it! Once we crossed that hill, she helped me to find the perfect veil. I mean this in the best possible way, she took complete control of this process, as she knew exactly what I wanted, and pulled it on the first try--no need to look any further. Wish there were a million stars for you, Stacy, as you deserve every last one of them.
GUEST




Stacy is the most phenominal bridal consultant I have ever met. Her shop is just gorgeous, and my whole experience there was something I will treasure for the rest of my life. It could not have been more perfect!!! I was happy to see a young, friendly, smiling face at the door when I walked into the gown shop with my family and friends and was surprised to find that a small sign would be kindly hung on the door asking others to wait until our appointment was over to enter the shop. That made the experience very personal, relaxing, and enjoyable. Stacy truely makes you feel like the most special and beautiful bride in the world, and her selection of dresses are elegant, high quality dresses at resonable prices. The gown shop is the ONLY way to go!!
GUEST




The Gown Shop is heads and shoulders above all other bridal stores in Michigan! I visited several in the greater Metro Detroit area and nothing compared to the quality, experience, and professionalism of the Gown Shop. You will not be disappointed! The shop itself is simply stunning and just the type of unique, stylish, and intimate setting that all brides look for. Stacey is absoultely wonderful and very comfortable and fun to be around. She really goes above and beyond to make your dress shopping experience special. After my first time visiting I knew that this was the shop I would get my dress from and am so happy I found them!
GUEST




Stacy is wonderful to work with. She helped me order the dress that I wanted, not what others wanted for me. She also has rules about pictures, trust her when she says it's best to not take pictures.
GUEST




The store is beautiful, the dress selection is every girl's dream and Stacy is amazing!! Stacy and The Gown Shop offer the best of both glamor and comfort- exactly what I was looking for in a dress and found it:)
GUEST




Stacy is AMAZING! Absolutely the best place in central/eastern Michigan to get your wedding gown. She's got a great eye and has already pared down the overwhelming selection available to just the most beautiful, elegant, and modern gowns. She will spend whatever time is necessary to make sure you are happy with the dress. She was also extremely accommodating of my friends and family who came along, even when they started pulling dresses off the rack left and right. Really a great experience and I would recommend the Gown Shop to anyone.
GUEST




Stacy was absolutely amazing! I would suggest the gown shop to anyone!
GUEST




The store's owner, Stacy fork was exceptional, not to mention I love my dress! As someone in a same-sex relationship, I had apprehensions about what challenges wedding dress shopping would raise. I was fortunate enough to have found the dress of my dreams in the gorgeous window display at the Gown Shop and my experience working with Stacy Fork, the shop's owner exceeded well beyond my expectations. When New York passed the Marriage Equality Bill last summer, Stacy was one of the first people to congratulate us on our marriage being recognized in the state that will host our ceremony (and our hometown!). Every time I have arranged a meeting with Stacy she has answered all of my questions authentically and with enthusiasm, and has always made both me and my partner feel right at ease in the planning process. I would recommend the Gown Shop to any novice bride who's looking to support local businesses, warm and wonderful store ownership, and who's hoping to develop a lasting relationship with a terrific store and a wonderful woman. Stacy Fork is totally awesome. I recommend this store with my whole heart. Here's wishing you all the best with your business, Stacy!

I visited every bridal shop in the area and no other store even came close to offering the unique styles and personal attention that Stacy offered. She personally handled every appointment. Through her expertise, she was able to pick for me the perfect gown for my wedding day, as well as the perfect accessories. The seamstress on staff is incredible as well. I had a tight timeline, and they both went out of their way to make sure my dress was completed in time. This is the only bridal shop I would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect, unique dress!

I absolutely love the Gown Shop! The Gown Shop is a beautiful space in downtown Ann Arbor that has a wonderful assortment of bridal gowns. The Gown Shop also has a nice array of veils, shoes, and accessories to try on as well. Stacy, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. She made the whole dress finding process very fun and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this shop for all brides in search of the perfect dress. My expectations were far exceeded.

Let me start by saying, I have not been paid for this review. I am a true client of The Gown Shop, and everything written below is not an exaggeration.
Stacy made my wedding dress experience so special in every way! From the very beginning of the dress-finding-and-buying process, Stacy and The Gown Shop (TGS) were truly head and shoulders above and beyond the other dress shops I went to.
On the day of my first appointment, Stacy opened the shop only for me and my mother and future mother-in-law. No one else was there. She treated me like I was the only person in the whole world, ignoring phone calls, and other knocks at the door. She got to know me and my style. Her recommendations were perfect. The dresses in TGS are stunning and unique and so well made. She takes such pride in her "girls" (the dresses) and it shows! The accessories from jewelry, sashes, and veils, to even shoes and shrugs are stunning! I purchased my entire wedding outfit from TGS and it was so gorgeous! I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience!
Stacy was accommodating to my out-of-control work schedule, opening the shop even very late for my fittings. She responded to emails very quickly and was very flexible even when I had to cancel on her once or twice on the phone. As far as I am concerned, Stacy and TGS are the very gold standard of customer service.
I cannot recommend TGS more highly and I firmly believe if you call Stacy at The Gown Shop, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Stacy was amazing!!!! Her dress selection was perfect for me, and I found a dress with very little trouble. I couldn't find anything that I loved in other gown shops!
In addition, the tailor that she works with was able to make me a custom bolero out of the tulle that my dress was made out of, and it was beautiful and perfect! Hooray!

I loved, loved, loved everything about my experience with The Gown Shop Ann Arbor, and truly believe that every bride-to-be deserves the opportunity to experience the breathtaking gowns, impeccable service, and the dreamy atmosphere this shop has to offer. There is nothing quite like this dazzling little gem of a shop, and the owner, Stacy, is passionate, talented and extremely knowledgeable. I can honestly say that I walked down the aisle in my dream wedding gown, and the entire gown shopping experience at The Gown Shop was stress-free, and most importantly, it was oh-so-fun!
GUEST




Stacy was great! The store is adorable and I loved all the dresses there. I only purchased my veil and hair piece simply because the store opened after I purchased my dress. If TGS was around when I was dress shopping, I would have definitely went there. I loved my veil, hair piece, and my experience with Stacy and TGS. Highly recommend!!

The Gown Shop is adorable and exemplifies the type of experience you would hope for and expect when looking for anything related to wedding garb. Stacey is helpful, patient and very sweet and is very responsive.
GUEST




Stacy is fantastic. She really listens and is so helpful. She has the most interesting and unique selection, it is definitely worth going. Other shops just don't compare.
GUEST




Stacey is wonderful! Her level of service and quality of product is the finest in the area. The thing that is best about her is that she actually LISTENS to what her client is and isn't saying! She doesn't pressure you into making a rash decision just to make a sale; she cares about you being HAPPY and choosing a dress that fits your body AND your personality.
GUEST




My experience at the gown shop was perfect. The selection of dresses was wonderful and the environment was so relaxed. I had a 1 day window to get fitted and Stacy arranged it perfectly with the seamstress.

I can not say enough good things about The Gown Shop, my experience there was absolutely amazing. I got engaged this past December and looked for a dress for a solid two months until I came across this shop and ended up finding my dream dress there! There isn't one dress there that isn't positively gorgeous which actually made it hard to pick! Also, I haven't seen the designers they carry at any other shop in Metro Detroit which is very cool. The whole experience though is what really made it so special for me. I have been to way too many dress shops and there is really none out there like this. The shop is just positively adorable, all decorated with pink and black. The second I walked in I knew I wanted to by my dress there no matter what :) I didn’t realize this when I went, but they only do one appointment at a time so I literally had the entire shop to myself! It was awesome. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. The owner, Stacy, was just wonderful. It was really refreshing to find finally find such a good sales person. She was super friendly, could tell that she really knows what she is doing and was very patient with me. I needed a little bit of bling to my dress so she suggested a broach for the center of the flower, she added that and voila it was perfect. Another thing I loved was that the dress I ordered actually is ordered and made to my custom measurements which I had not seen anywhere else! So when it arrives it will literally fit to my body and not have to get it altered very much if at all. I’m telling all my engaged friends to skip all the other shops and just go straight to this one. I wish I found it even sooner! :)
Love the setting of the Gown Shop. The Shop is designed so that each bride has the store to herself. She can bring her family and friends and choose from some of the prettiest dresses in the Toledo/Ann Arbor area! Stacy Fork has an excellent eye for detail and only carries the most reputable designers and accessories for your big day!
If you haven't been to the gown shop yet you MUST! Stacy has done such an amazing job creating an upscale studio for her clients to dress shop. Because the studio is so spacious and fabulous you feel like a princess as soon as you walk through the door. Not to mention she stocks the best collection of gowns and accessories all neatly displayed. And her hours are by appointment which ensures that every client gets amazing personalized customer service :) Highly recommended!
An appointment at The Gown Shop is such a special experience! The shop is absolutely adorable, and Stacy reserves it just for you. All of the dresses are beautifully displayed, and easy to see. While I imagine finding the perfect gown to be somewhat of a stressful experience for some brides, visiting the Gown Shop is more like a treat to the bride and her friends. The gowns are gorgeous too :)
