She kindly gave me several other seamstress to contact for which I was grateful. It's 2025 and this year we made it in time. Diane did NOT disappoint. I am more than impressed with tailoring skills. My daughter is thrilled with her prom dress. Diane had the dress ready in amazing time which will allow us the time needed to add the crystals before the dance. Diane is a gracious, kind and very competent lady. She deserves to charge the highest prices and all I can say is, "if you are fortunate enough to get a timeslot, it would be best to take it!"~

My daughter and 7 friends did a group shopping trip (mom's too) they all have different body shapes, color preferences and styles, and every girl went home with their dream dress in under 2 hours.

She has a vast knowledge of the industry, designers, fads, and has a wide variety. You don't need to travel out of state, they are right here in Iowa! They also have a very experienced seamstress on site too! I highly recommend Dream Dress!

You can really take home a pretty big shopping bag full of goodies, without breaking the bank! They also carry beautiful jewelry and accessories, making it a fashion one-stop-shop. Love this place!!

Hands down a wonderful place to shop! I cannot say enough good things about Kelli. She is…read moredown-to-earth, no pressure, and genuine. Professional and sincere. (No fake excitement or scripted sucking up.) Her variety of styles is excellent. Her choice of designers is based on what not only the beauty of their designs but the customizing options and customer service. One dress style can be ordered a dozen different ways to fit the personality of the bride and make it one of a kind. Don't be afraid of the prices or the fact that the shop is by appointment only. Prices are on par with every other shop in town and you'd be surprised the extra bang for your buck that actually competes with most shops in the corridor. The appointment only is TRULY meant to keep all the attention on you. You get the whole place to yourself. Also! Girls of all shapes and sizes can find something here...my bride friend (who is probably somewhere around a size 20) felt so comfortable and truly appreciated her experience here. Thank you Kelli!

This place puts other bridal stores to shame, especially in eastern Iowa. Before going to White…read moreWillow, I had tried quite a few different stores in the area and left empty handed, disappointed, and self confidence crushed. As a last effort to keeping my business local, I made an appointment with White Willow. When I arrived, I was greeted by the store owner Kelli and she asked what type I was looking for and showed me the dresses. She made suggestions and let me and my group pick them out. The store was beautiful inside, with a very upscale feel. I was feeling unsure because of the sizing on the dresses I had already tried. I had already been to other stores where none of the dresses would zip or come close to zipping and was forced to come out with a completely open back and show people and look in the mirror and "pretend" that it would be perfect in another size. I was pleased to see that at White Willow the dress sizes started at 12 and went up, and had different styles mixed on the rack. You didn't have to go to a certain "section" based on your size. After trying on the 1st dress with Kelli, I knew this place was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and I was soon able to relax and enjoy trying on dresses. And the dresses! Are gorgeous, quality gowns that are quite true to size. I am a size 14-16 and I was able to zip or almost zip all dresses that I tried on near that size range. And the ones that wouldn't quite zip, Kelli pulled together and made them feel like they fit. Out of 6 dresses I found my perfect one, and actually bought it off the rack that night because for once, it fit! Kelli was very professional, both in her appearance and knowledge for wedding dresses. She took her time to make sure I found what I wanted and needed. Appointments at White Willow are also private, so you have the undivided attention you deserve as a bride. AND After I said yes to my dress, we celebrated with complimentary wine! The experience I had at White Willow, is what every bride should get when looking for a dress. I simply cannot express, how impressed I was with this business and the service I received. I would highly recommend White Willow to anyone looking for a wedding dress, and go here first!

I try to keep an eye on their social media, too, because they are always posting new items and upcoming events. Love this place!

The owner is always helpful and asks if you would like complimentary coffee or wine while shopping. They also always have some sort of deal/special going on which is great. The only problem I have with this boutique is they do not really have very many clothing choices for individuals that are petite and of smaller body frame. I have this difficulty with many boutiques, but it would be nice to see a boutique offer petite sizes as it is frustrating to go shopping and everything is too long or wide.
