The Modern Trousseau Story

A house founded in 1986

Four decades of American couture.

Modern Trousseau is an American design house with one belief at its center: a wedding gown should be made for one bride, and one bride only. For nearly forty years, our gowns, cut from luxury laces and fine French and Italian fabrics, have dressed brides around the world.

Made in our American atelier

Every stitch, under one roof.

Every Modern Trousseau gown is designed, cut, and hand-sewn in our own Connecticut atelier. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is off the rack: your gown is cut to more than thirty of your own measurements by seamstresses who have spent decades at their craft: a size for you, never from a chart. Because the atelier is ours, your gown never crosses an ocean. It is couture made close to home.

A gown that is truly yours

Designed around you.

Each bride is unique, so each gown can be too. Combine tops and bottoms, alter a neckline, swap a lace, add sleeves or embellishment. Because so much can be changed, the dress you say yes to is truly one of a kind.
