First off, thank you Jillian for being so patient, amazing, and really just doing what you do, because you're doing it well. I love that this place exist and what they stand for. 3 women holding down this business and making a safe and open space, is wonderful. This is a very down to earth place that has amazing, GORGEOUS dresses that Marteal designs. Looking forward to completing my dress with you 3, so exciting!

When I first started looking for my bridal “dress” I knew early on that I wanted something non-traditional. I knew I wanted a jumpsuit or flowy pant look, so I started scraping the Internet looking for one. I must have scrolled through thousands of images of bridal looks across Pinterest, various designers, and vintage shops with little interest in anything I found. It wasn’t until I finally found a pair of off-white wide leg pants online, that I thought I could explore custom bridal wear. I searched online for custom bridal designers in the NYC/Brooklyn area, and came across Loulette Bride and was immediately drawn to the “vibe” of the website, images of the warm and cozy salon, and the variety of the looks and fabrics from the selection of pre-designed dresses. A friend and I went to Greenpoint to meet Marteal. The salon is as beautiful and inviting in person as it looks online. All I needed to do was share a few thoughts of the look I was going for and some pictures from Pinterest for her to totally get the vision. She immediately got to sketching right away and within 20 minutes we had the look. From there, we went over to the dresses she had already made to get of sense of the different fabrics that would work for the custom bodysuit. I was in awe of her creativity and ability to take an idea I had in my mind and bring it to life. We created this look together that I absolutely love and could have never found online, ever after spending what felt like hundreds of hours looking for. To top it off, the pants I bought online had pockets (yay) but the fabric was a bit see through for a wedding. We thought we would have to remove the pockets but Marteal came up with a solution to add a thin liner to the pants which allowed me to keep the pockets! When you’re working with (M) it feels like you’re hanging with a friend, who is genuinely as excited for your special day as you are. She sent me home with a colored sketch of me in my full look which I’ve since framed. I love my custom bridal bodysuit – it’s a timeless piece that I’ll get to wear again. I couldn’t sing more praises for Loulette Bride, highly recommend!

Such a special experience! If you’re looking to support a small business that supports others then look no further! Not only were the dresses beautiful but there was such a welcoming and calming energy. Jillian was so sweet, comforting and supportive it felt like I brought another best friend with me! I also had the opportunity to try on my mom’s (who passed away a few years ago) dress for my grandma and while emotional it became such a special memory I’ll hold forever. So yeah- go here you will instantly understand what I am gushing about

When I decided I wanted to get married, it was after years of believing I'd never want to get married, so I had no idea what I wanted out of a wedding and even less of an idea of what I wanted for a wedding dress, and I was super overwhelmed at the prospect of figuring it out. But from my first visit to Loulette to try on dresses I immediately felt comfortable and excited instead of stressed out. The space is beautiful, Marteal (designer/owner) and her small team of women are all extremely encouraging, knowledgeable and full of style. Marteal's dog (Mable!) was there and for me that was also a huge comfort factor. I probably tried on 20 of their gowns because it was so hard not to. I ultimately landed on THE ONE and could not wait until I was able to visit their studio again to try it on. In between that first appointment and my first fitting, Marteal and team were great with communications and by the time I was finally able to get my hands on it, I was thrilled. On top of the beauty of the experience and the GORGEOUS dress I ended up wearing for my wedding, knowing this is a small, women-owned local business (I can see their window from my apartment) that makes a ton of effort to give back, uses their platform to promote social justice issues, and cares more about sustainability than any wedding dress designer I came across, made me feel like I had made the perfect decision. I honestly wish I could get married every year just to keep supporting this business and trying on their gorgeous new lines that are out now. GO TO LOULETTE - YOU WILL NOT REGRET (it).

Questions & Answers

Can you customize gowns, or customize an existing gown?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Yes! We love a creative project! While the most cost effective way to make a custom gown is to customize one of our existing styles, feel free to bring us all your wildest ideas, and we will figure out a way to make your vision come to life. Book an appointment with us to come in and discuss your ideas with our designer, or ask a question first here.

Do you do alterations?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Where is a Loulette Bride gown made?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Brooklyn, baby! All Loulette Bride gowns are made in our hometown of NYC. Loulette Bride samples and all production are done in house in our Brooklyn studio. Pattern grading, button making, and all that good stuff are all done right here in New York City to support our local Garment District.

How does Loulette Bride practice integrity, sustainability, and responsibility?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

All Day, Every Day! Loulette Bride was founded on principles of integrity in our design and responsibility in our design and manufacturing process. Having integrity means we only create original designs, and are incredibly proud of the product we create. We value quality over quantity, and make sure every gown we create is as perfect as it should be, on our bride's most special day. We know that the garment industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. So, we take responsibility in our manufacturing process very seriously. We use recycled poly lining made from recycled PET plastic bottles, natural and organic fabrics as much as possible, and recycle every single fabric scrap to FabScrap. We produce locally by making our garments in our Brooklyn studio, eliminating transport of goods. By making our gowns to order, we avoid overproduction, one of the biggest issues of the garment industry. We ship plastic free. We can go on and on and on!

How long before my wedding should I buy my Loulette Bride gown?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Depends! Since we are local, Loulette Bride gowns take as little as 2-10 weeks to make. But, that doesn’t mean you should wait ‘til the last minute! Generally, the best time to start shopping for your dress is about a year out from your wedding date. Sample Sale gowns are off-the-rack, so they are available immediately. For gowns purchased from the Loulette Bride Studio, orders should be placed at least 6-10 months before your wedding. This allows plenty of time for making your gown, and a stress free time period for alterations. If your gown was purchased at a Loulette Bride retailer, please check in with your retailer directly for timeline details!

What sizes do Loulette Bride gowns come in?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Any size you need! Since each and every Loulette Bride gown is made to order, we can make any style in any size you need. We take your measurements, and create your gown in your size.

What is a Sample Sale gown and why are they so much less?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

A Sample Sale gown is a gown that is the original sample of that style. When one of our styles does not go into production, usually because they are too cool and fun for the masses, we sell the original sample. So, it is a one-of-a-kind gown, off the rack, and may have some very light scuffs from photoshoots. Because of this, all Sample Gowns are 50%-75% off the original price.

What is a Made to Order gown?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

Brand spankin' new! A Made to Order Gown is a gown that is made especially for you. Most of our styles are sold this way. Because our styles are made to order, we are often able to customize fabrics, sizes, and other design elements to make your gown perfect for you!

What is the price range of Loulette Bride pieces?

Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021
Loulette Bride | Oct 3, 2021

$200 - $3,600 Loulette Bride wedding dresses range in price from $200 to $1,800 for Sample Sale gowns, and $2,000 to $3,600 for Made to Order Gowns. Our bridal separates, Loulette Lingerie bodysuits, and bridal toppers can all be mixed and matched to reach a budget you are comfortable with.
