This website is primarily an avenue for promoting the Bridal Image retail store, however, online orders are also accepted. Only a handful of the many styles carried by this retailer are shown online.

This formal and bridal retail store in the state of Washington offers several brands of modest dresses that may be ordered online. An optional neckline alteration service is provided to bring necklines higher (to meet Jewish standards). The alteration is done at the cutting stage in the factory for special orders so that no extra piecing is visible. In-stock merchandise is also available.

Shawls are the specialty of this brand. About half of the bridal and bridesmaid gowns from Romantic Bridals come with matching shawls. The shawl may be used as it is, or in the hands of a creative dressmaker, the extra fabric from the shawl may be used to raise the front neckline and make sleeves or straps with gathers or pleats that cover the shoulders.

This line centers around colorful chiffon layering to achieve simple silhouettes. Several modest suits are also available. If a local retailer is not available, you may order online from Ursula of Switzerland at House of Brides.

With a retail store located in Mesa, Arizona in addition to online sales, this is one of the larger retailers of modest formal and bridal gowns in the United States. Look for the following categories:

Find cute dresses with sleeves and higher necklines from this manufacturer. Most of the skirts end right at the knee, so one idea for increasing length is to add a slip from Vintage Hem. Casual, dressy, bridesmaid and maternity dress styles are offered.
