Anna Nieman Couture — Local services in Wellesley

From my wife:

I loved my wedding dress and felt great all day! Anna is a true artist and she made my vision come true, while adding her own artistic flair to the dress. I had a very specific idea of the shape and type of dress that I wanted: flowy skirt, cap sleeves, boat neckline, U-shape backless, and illusion top with non-floral motifs. Anna understood perfectly what I wanted and executed it magnificently. Importantly, she was able to bring her deep expertise in dress-making to advise me on the type of fabric, color shade, and construction of the dress. I am so glad I followed her advice – everything turned out great. She also made me a veil with some lace appliqués that mirrored the appliqués on the bust of the dress. I loved the veil and did not want to take it off ! The fabric of the skirt was a gorgeous, luxurious georgette silk. I couldn’t stop twirling all night. And she added pockets! Anna is a delightful woman, and extremely professional. She was able to calm my nerves as the wedding date approached. You are in great hands if you choose Anna to make your wedding dress! She had the perfect mix of executing my vision while gently pushing while gently giving her advice on what would work best. And she has extremely fair prices given the quality of the work. Thank you so much Anna for this dress that I will...

My experience with Anna Nieman Couture has been so wonderful! I cannot say enough good things about Anna Nieman herself and her ability to craft the most beautiful dresses. Soon after my daughter announced her engagement, I began to look for a mother of the bride dress. Mind you, I had well over a year to look. I tried on countless numbers of dresses in several cities, ordered many online - and yet just 4 months before the wedding, I was still without a dress! None of the dresses that I tried on - seemed “right” or fit my very curvy figure. Thanks to a dear friend, I found Anna Nieman Couture in Wellesley. From the moment I walked into Anna’s charming shop on Washington Street, I felt a sense of peace. After a warm welcome, Anna began to ask very insightful questions regarding what exactly I had in mind for my dress. Anna listened to my thoughts and made many suggestions based on her many years of professional experience - and ended up creating a truly beautiful silk-satin dress in wedgwood blue (one of the wedding colors). I love my dress and look forward to wearing it again on another very special occasion. It is that kind of a dress - the kind that you will want...

My mom was having trouble finding a dress to wear to my wedding. Anna was able to create the mother of the bride dress of my mom's dreams. Additionally, I was having a hard time finding a place to alter my wedding dress, since it needed some major alterations - including, hemming a foot off of the dress (since I'm only 5'1) while keeping the beautiful lace detailing/train on the bottom and creating lace straps using the leftover material. Even though Anna doesn't usually do alterations, when my mom told her about my difficulty finding a place for alterations, she went out of her usual scope and altered my wedding dress. My dress came out beautifully. It fit me like a glove, was comfortable and came out better than I could have imagined. Throughout the whole process, she was very receptive to my mom and I's ideas and was great to work with. My mom and I highly recommend to go to her to make your dream outfit come to life. (Here is a picture of my mom and I's dresses on my...
