My Gramercy experience was wonderful. They were professional, timely and creative. I struggle finding clothes that fit my body and personality so I had my doubts about the process but decided to try this for my daughter's wedding. The staff was excellent, patient and helped me come up with the perfect Mother of the Bride dress. I definitely plan on using them again as my son just got engaged! Thank you Gramercy Atelier!
Stacia, we’re so delighted that your Gramercy experience was wonderful! Thank you for trusting us with such an important day and for giving us the chance to create a dress that reflects your style. We look forward to welcoming you back for your son’s wedding.

After nearly six months of searching tirelessly for the PERFECT dress for my son’s wedding, I was beginning to lose hope. I had no peace about any dress that I tried on. I had so much trepidation as time was cutting it close and nothing felt quite "right" when trying on. That is until I found Gramercy Atelier. From the moment I connected with Robert and Maria, everything changed.
What had been a stressful, anxiety-ridden search; suddenly became an effortless, joy-filled experience. Maria’s warm presence and extraordinary eye for detail immediately put me at ease. I could finally exhale. I knew I was in the best possible hands.
The dress Maria created for me wasn’t just a garment, it was a work of art. It exuded timeless beauty, refined elegance, and a quiet sophistication that perfectly complimented the occasion without ever drawing attention away from the bride.
The materials she selected were of the highest quality, and the craftsmanship—particularly the impeccable stitching—was nothing short of exceptional.
Maria’s talent is only matched by her grace. She listened, understood, and somehow transformed everything I had dreamed of into a dress that exceeded my expectations in every way. No one could have done this better.
I will forever cherish not only the exquisite gown she made for me, but the peace of mind and confidence she and Robert gave me during a time that was both emotional and meaningful. I highly recommend Gramercy Atelier.
Maria and Robert, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Your words moved us deeply. It means so much to know that your experience with Gramercy Atelier brought calm and confidence at such an important moment in your life. Creating your gown was a privilege from start to finish. The grace and warmth you carried through every step inspired the refinement of the final design and that you felt seen, understood, and cared for, because that is always our highest intention. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your son’s wedding, and for expressing your experience with such care.

The perfect French Bustle! Maria and the team at Gramercy Atelier are beyond incredible to say the least. My daughter wanted to have a comfortable bustle and be able to move all night.....they made it so comfortable for her she was able to freely "swing" away as she wished. They truly made her dreams come true!
What a wonderful image to see your daughter in motion, full of life, and that perfect French bustle in action. It was a pleasure to create both your ensemble and her gown adjustment, and to know that the day unfolded with such freedom and ease. Thank you for sharing this moment and for your kind words.

INCREDIBLE! FABULOUS EXPERIENCE! SUBERB KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONALISM! AMAZING TALENT!!! I cannot express how very pleased I was , as a first time customer, now a lifelong fan and repeat customer in the near future. From the first call to the very last fitting , the precision in detail and fit—-was amazing ! Both BEPOKE dresses for our sons’ rehearsal dinner and wedding , were created without being in the same state nor at Gramercy Atelier . I WISH I could give a 1000 star review because this experience was phenomenal !
Your words mean the world Mrs. North.
Designing both of your gowns for such meaningful family moments, entirely through our remote bespoke process was a pleasure. At Gramercy, this isn’t the exception, it’s the way couture should feel: personal, precise, and effortless, no matter the distance.
From the very first call to the final fitting, your trust allowed us to tailor every detail with exactness. Knowing the fit and craftsmanship exceeded your expectations affirms everything we stand for.
Thank you for becoming not just a first-time client, but a lifelong member of the Gramercy family. We cannot wait to create for you again any time, for any occasion.

To say I felt confident and beautiful in my Gramercy Atlelier gown for my daughter’s wedding would be an understatement. I searched for months and could not find what felt like it matched both my style and the style of her wedding day. I found Gramercy late in my search and wasn’t sure they would have time to create a gown for me before the wedding date. Maria and Robert went above and beyond to both make my vision come true and to deliver the dress in time. The attention to detail and communication through the entire process was unmatched and I never worried. The best part was the unique beauty and fit of my dress. It was flawless and stunning!
Thank you to Gramercy Atelier for being part of my daughter’s most special day and for creating a treasured memory for me. This mother of the bride will be eternally grateful.
Elizabeth, your words mean the world to us. From the moment we got the challenge of a truly bespoke design, custom printed fabric, a serious deadline, and delivery 2000 miles away we knew how important this gown was to you and your daughter’s day. It was a joy to rise to the occasion and bring your vision to life with precision and care.
When we saw the photos standing beside your daughter, walking the aisle with such poise, sharing that beautiful moment with your husband, and surrounded by the wedding party it became clear that your gown didn’t just fit the day, it helped define it. The design lived effortlessly in every frame that mattered most.
Thank you for trusting us and for collaborating with such clarity and heart. Your dress was a reflection of you, confident, radiant, and beautifully refined, and watching you wear it with such joy is why we do what we do.
We are truly honored to have been part of this once in a lifetime moment. Clients like you remind us that bespoke is not just about a dress, it is about legacy, meaning, and connection.

I had the most wonderful experience collaborating with Gramercy Atelier on my Mother of the Bride dress. Maria and her team did an exceptional job bringing my vision to life with such elegance and attention to detail. Maria id so talented, she also designed a matching cummerbund, bow tie, and pocket square for the Father of the Bride, featuring the same floral design as my dress, a perfect and meaningful touch.
The craftsmanship, fit, and overall artistry were truly outstanding. Every element felt thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Gramercy Atelier for anyone seeking custom dresses made with passion and precision. My husband and I got so many compliments on our outfits! I wrote a blog post describing the entire Gramercy Atelier process experience from the beginning to the end on my Diga Linda website. Thank you for making it so special, xo Ceci Mason
Collaborating with you was nothing short of a pleasure. Your eye for beauty, your warmth, and your trust made this process not just seamless but deeply meaningful.
Maria was especially honored to design not only your Mother of the Bride gown, but also the coordinating pieces for your husband. The floral print carried through both looks became a quiet thread of connection on such a cherished day. It’s a rare privilege to design with that level of intentionality and even rarer to do so for someone who so clearly understands both the craft and the symbolism.
Thank you for sharing your journey so thoughtfully in your blog. Your words and photos will help future clients see what becomes possible when artistry is met with vision and trust.

The experience I have had with Gramercy is beyond professional. Maria is extremely talented. Her husband Robert is very thorough with updates and phone calls. I have used them on different occasions because of their professionalism, their exquisite design and professionalism. Once you own something from Gramercy, you will know it’s very special and you will feel special Mindie deVeer.
Your kind words mean the world to us. Clients like you—who return again and again—are the truest measure of our purpose.
Maria pours herself into every design, and I do my best to ensure the experience feels as personal and polished as the garment itself. To hear that you’ve felt both the quality and the care behind our work is deeply rewarding.
Thank you for your continued trust. It’s always a pleasure to create something meaningful for you.
Kimberly Monte2025.10.06
It was a seamless process to get the dress made. From the first meeting on Facetime to the final fitting in person, the experience was first rate! I received so many compliments on my custom made dress the day of the wedding. I was more than pleased!
If I have another special occasion on my calendar, I will definitely
have Maria and Robert make another custom piece for me. I will always remember this special experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy your journey felt seamless from the first call to your final fitting. Knowing that your dress drew so many compliments and that you’ll cherish the memory of the process is exactly why we do what we do. We look forward to creating for you again!
Lynn Tuttle2025.10.06
Every step in my quest for the perfect Mother of the Bride’s outfit was seamless with Gramercy Atelier! From our first meeting to discuss my expectations, through the final moments when I donned my perfectly fitting dream dress, the experience was so positive and frictionless.Trust Gramercy for their experience and wisdom in creating gorgeous and classicly elegant pieces for your important day.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. Your words mean a great deal to us, especially “seamless” and “frictionless”—that’s exactly the experience we strive to give every client. We’re honored to have been part of your daughter’s wedding journey and delighted you felt so at ease throughout the process.
Laura DeDomenico2025.10.06
My oldest son became engaged in December 2024 and the wedding was planned for late August 2025. In January I started the odyssey for the perfect Mother of the Groom gown and kept coming up extremely disappointed. I went to the “best boutiques” here on Long Island and found them all to be pretty much the same. I came across Gramercy Atelier while spending hours searching the internet and asking friends for recommendations. Their beautiful website immediately caught my eye. From the first conversation with Robert, I felt a sense of peace knowing that I was making the right decision choosing Gramercy. Maria and Robert are a wonderful team, and they make you feel comfortable and give you a real sense of confidence. The process seemed a little intimidating at first, but it worked perfectly. From initial measurements to choosing fabrics, to the finished work of art, it worked. By the way I am not the average size mother of the groom, I am 6 feet tall, and I have a very particular style and finding well-made clothes that fit perfectly is frustrating.
Maria and her team took the worry completely out of my hand. She made me feel like a princess on my son’s big day. I still to this day get calls and complements on my gown. I am thinking of taking the dress back to Maria next year to tweak it for another black-tie wedding. Then, another group of completely different people will get to see my gorgeous gown. Thank you, Maria and Robert. I have three more weddings in the future (hopefully), and I look forward to working with your talented team once again.
Mrs. DeDomenico, thank you for your generous words and for sharing your experience so thoughtfully. It was a privilege to create a gown that reflected both your elegance and individuality, and we are delighted to know it continues to receive admiration long after the wedding day.
Your trust in us, from the first call through to the final fitting, means a great deal. Designing for tall, stylish women like yourself is exactly why we exist: to take the stress out of the process and deliver a garment that feels as though it was always meant for you. We love that you are already considering reimagining the gown for future celebrations. That is the beauty of couture, a work of art that can evolve with you.
We look forward to welcoming you back for the next chapter and to creating more unforgettable moments together. Thank you again for taking the time to share your story. It will surely help others embarking on their own dress journey.
Mary Johnston2025.10.06
Grammercy Atelier was recommended by a friend and I went with her for the final fitting of her beautiful gown. It was a wonderful experience working with Maria, who recommended a custom amethyst-hued fabric woven in Italy. It was unique and perfectly complimented by a feather trim at the hem and sleeves. My friends and family raved about the gown, saying that Grammercy Atelier absolutely captured my vision of an elegant, yet fun design. Robert and Maria were fabulous to work with from start to finish.
Mrs. Johnston, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so pleased to hear how much you loved your custom gown, and that the amethyst Italian fabric and feather trim captured exactly the look you envisioned.
It was a pleasure working with you from the first conversation through the final fitting, and we are thrilled that your friends and family responded so warmly to the finished design. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever the next occasion calls for something special.
Susan Fawcett2025.10.03
I am so happy I found Gramercy Atelier. I was looking for a dress that matched my daughter’s aesthetic for her wedding. Maria designed the perfect dress! It was elegant and timeless.It was a seamless process from beginning to end, all from my home without traveling to NYC. I highly recommend!!
We’re overjoyed to know that Maria’s design captured both elegance and timelessness for such a meaningful day. Matching your daughter’s vision while creating a piece that felt entirely your own is exactly why we love what we do. It’s especially gratifying to hear the process felt seamless from home—our aim has always been to bring the atelier experience to you, wherever you are. Thank you for your kind words and heartfelt recommendation.

All my Mother of the Bride dress dreams came true! Maria Pucci guided me through the steps to create my bespoke gown. It fit perfectly and was so comfortable throughout the day. The Italian brocade fabric she helped me select traveled to Ireland and back without a crease. I received and continue to receive compliments on the dress. I would refer anyone to Maria at Gramercy Atelier for their occasion gown/dress needs. My dress was so perfect and I look forward to creating another MOB dress with Gramercy Atelier in the near future!
Dear Mrs. Sullivan,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are overjoyed to hear that your Mother of the Bride dress dreams were realized with us at Gramercy Atelier and Maria was delighted to know that the gown was a perfect fit and comfortably accompanied you to Ireland and back, remaining pristine throughout. Also gratifying to hear that you continue to receive compliments on your dress!

I had a terrible experience. They cancelled my dress order and left me without a dress just 8 weeks before my daughter’s wedding. Too late to order a dress elsewhere.
I started working with Maria and Robert 4+ months ahead of the wedding based on a referral. Went to the studio to be measured. Paid for fabric samples. I picked a fabric and placed the order 3 months before the wedding. They told be they were placing the order on July 7 (see text message). After reducing the shipping because I would pick the dress up in person, they failed to send me an invoice (I had to remind them - and paid in full the same day I received the invoice (see photo of text message). They promised delivery (via text) of the fabric by the end of July - to make the dress in August. Despite their promises, a month later, they encountered a problem securing the fabric and said they would only receive it 3 weeks before the wedding to make the dress. The fabric would not arrive until September 15-20 (see attached text message). Only then could they begin to make the dress. I was flying to the wedding on October 6. Yikes!
I asked for an alternative fabric due to the delay. They assured me there were other fabrics. They sent only one sample - the wrong color.
I had lost faith in the promises of delivery (in text messages) and I was extremely concerned about the delay. Instead of working toward a solution, they cancelled the order. When the going got tough, they quit. It was incredibly stressful. I was stunned that they would do this to a mother of the bride just 8 weeks before a wedding. Unreliable and poor customer service. Go elsewhere!!
To clarify for future readers: you reached out in May, but did not make your final decision to proceed until July 15. We delivered sketches and swatches promptly and, based on your specific color request, immediately engaged our partner mill in Lake Como to produce a custom-woven fabric in that particular red you had wanted. From the outset, we knew this hue could not be replicated by standard fabrics, which is why a specialty weave was required.
As is customary for bespoke production, the mill required full payment before beginning the weave. That payment was received on July 22, following a delay over our standard $145 international shipping fee, which you requested be reduced to $45. We accommodated this adjustment as a gesture of goodwill—on an order totaling over $3,500.
Shortly after, the mill experienced a loom malfunction and informed us immediately. Despite this, they maintained a projected delivery window of September 15—three weeks before your October 11 event. In an effort to support us and satisfy your timeline, our partner mill generously offered to produce the rush order in just one week—and waived their usual upcharge entirely.
To be absolutely clear: your payment was received before the mill reported any issue, and the accusation that we accepted funds while concealing a known problem is entirely false.
This timeline, including the mill’s projected delivery window, is clearly reflected in the very text messages you included in your review.
As concerns mounted, you reached out daily by text and phone, urging us to find backup options. Although we had already confirmed that your chosen red could not be matched by standard fabrics, we again revisited New York’s design district, re-sourced and shipped alternatives—at our own expense—in an effort to accommodate your continued requests.
When it became clear that trust in the process could not be restored, we refunded you in full on August 5, allowing over two months to explore other arrangements.
We are proud of the care, integrity, and effort we bring to every project—from our atelier to our global partners—and we stand by the transparency shown throughout this experience.
We do, sincerely, hope your daughter’s wedding day was beautiful and filled with meaning.
