“The service you offer is excellent - but more importantly is the positive experience of finding a dress for young women who are so vulnerable and at a point in life where they are expected to fit into molds by retail society. The services you offer embrace their style, their uniqueness, and make them feel safe and comfortable in their own skin. It is a gift to them for the occasion, but also for a lifetime.”
Julie, Chicago, IL
“Your store truly saved us! In the current climate of Covid where dress options are scarce, we made the trek from Chicago to Armonk and we were beyond impressed with the selection. Shopping for a 12 year old is no easy feat and Julie and Liz swooped in and took us under their wing. We ended up leaving with not only dresses for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, but also some extra for her friend’s mitzvahs. It was well worth the trip!”
Laurie and Shawn, Larchmont, New York
“We are obsessed! Quite literally. Both with Shawn’s dress for her bat mitzvah and with the amazing warmth and attention that you gave us.
From the moment you walk through the doors of All About the Dress it’s like you’ve entered this lovely oasis of calm. There is space to breathe and browse and you instantly feel like the owners “get” you and your daughter.
And believe me, you need that when planning a bat mitzvah :) Knowing that Shawn's dress would be just as we imagined and receiving all the supportive prompts about timing, delivery and that you could even get her shoes in her size that matched were so reassuring.
A million thank you’s .. We can’t wait to come back and shop again soon for some “everyday" party dresses too! “
Lisa, New Jersey
“Love this store and the ladies who work there! We found a dress for my daughter’s bat mitzvah immediately with the help of the owners. I’m an event planner in NJ and send all of my clients to this store for their daughters’ bat mitzvah dresses. It’s worth the drive for their selection and wonderful demeanor. I highly recommend it!”
Rebecca, Rockland County, NY
“We were shopping for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah dress and we went to a few places where we found zero warmth or customer service. At All About the Dress you feel like you are among friends and the owners could not be more down to earth. We made the trip from Rockland County and it was worth it. They were as happy as we were when we found the perfect dress. Highly recommend!”
Beth, Los Angeles, California

"Best special occasion dress shop! Always super current. My daughter had her dress custom made by amazing collaboration with design duo Jesus & Antonio. Liz and Julie go above and beyond. Delivered the dress to Westport for me because of tight travel schedule!"
Lisa, New York, NY
"Great dresses, amazing service! My daughter and I had a great experience at All About the Dress from the minute we walked through the door. The owners were both involved, positive and helpful and showed us many different styles (long/short, one and two piece) and different price points . My daughter wanted to avoid dresses that were the same as her friends had worn to their own Bat Mitzvahs and we didn't have trouble finding something that was unique and special, even though we waited until relatively late in the process to start shopping (7 weeks pre-event). The dress we chose was a long dress that we wanted to make short and the alterations were done perfectly and on schedule by their tailor."
Lauren, Chappaqua, NY
"The dress was fabulous and Zoe felt fantastic from the moment she put it on--all night long. Thank you both for making everything so easy and seamless--working with you both, and Danuta, your seamstress, was truly fantastic."
Samantha, Chappaqua, New York
"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your help with the dress from start to finish. It fit Lexi perfectly when she put it on last night and I know that was no easy task with the beading and the added corset back. She felt amazing and beautiful in the dress and we really appreciate all the effort and time that went into making that happen."
Melissa, West Hartford, Connecticut
"All About The Dress is an amazing store and worth the drive from anywhere... and we live 85 miles away in West Hartford, Connecticut. Not only is the selection phenomenal, but the staff is friendly, warm and not the least bit pushy. We walked in and gasped as my daughter found the party dress of her dreams for her Bat Mitzvah celebration. Ordering and alterations were a breeze, and she even found a few reasonably priced and unique dresses and rompers for other events. I cannot thank you enough, Liz and Julie, for making Sylvie feel so comfortable and so special. You truly made our dreams come true! We look forward to coming back to visit and shop again soon..."
Risa, Stamford, Connecticut
"I just wanted to thank you for making such a beautiful dress for Jordana for her Bat Mitzvah in Israel. She LOVED the dress and felt so great in it all night! We are so glad that we found All About the Dress and that you were able to work so quickly within our tight timeframe. Thanks again!"
Kelly, Ryebrook, New York
"Liz and Julie, thank you for making this happen. We had an amazing night. Your kindness and patience was remarkable. Thank you again.

"HUGE shout out to All About the Dress! Realized yesterday that my son's Bar Mitzvah is little more than 3 weeks away and I still hadn't gotten a dress for my almost 16 yr old daughter. Ran to Armonk during her free period and found the perfect dress!! They have an amazing selection for both young and older kids and were SO helpful! A must see! Thanks Liz and Julie!"

"FYI...Had the best experience at All About the Dress in Armonk (new store for special occasion dresses). The owners are local women who are amazing to work with. I got my daughter's Bat Mitzvah dress there. Beautiful! Such a great addition to town!!"
Norma, New City, New York
"The Sherri Hill dress that we bought from All About the Dress for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah was a hit. She looked absolutely beautiful. The aqua color matched her colors perfectly. Thank you for providing such a great shopping experience and for having such a wonderful selection of party dresses!"
Penny Wein wrote this about her experience shopping for a Junior Bridesmaid dress for her 10 year old granddaughter, Sarah. She was relaying positive feedback to the designer of the Stella M'lia dress she ultimately chose:
"I purchased the 'Beth' dress in Purple orchid from All About the Dress in Armonk. Liz and Julie, the owners, were wonderful. They directed Sarah away from inappropriate choices and towards your lovely selection of styles. They happily researched your stock of colors and once our selection was definite, the ordering and delivery were a breeze."
"Everyone was thrilled with the end result!! I wish you could have seen Sarah's face when Julie and Liz took the plastic covering off her dress. Arielle, the bride and my future daughter in law, is also in love with the style and extraordinary purple color of the dress."
