Welcome to Sophie's Gown Shoppe! A tradition since 1948, we've been proudly serving Southwestern Ontario and area brides and bridal parties. For over 75 years, we've offered unparalleled service, selection, and expertise.

​

How did it all begin? In the late '40s, Sophie and John Stronski founded the business in London, Ontario. Every gown was handmade and designed by the pair. Over 45 years ago, the business was passed to Olga Traher, whose passion for bridal fashion and vision for growth led her to expand into Windsor, Kitchener, and Mississauga.

Sophie's Gown Shoppe remains a family-owned and operated business. Olga's children, Jennifer and Jeff, are integral to the business and work alongside her at the various locations. Olga's daughter-in-law, Isabel, also contributes her dedication and expertise to the business. Today, the third generation continues the tradition, with Sophie actively working in the bridal stores, ensuring the legacy lives on.
