- Lots of wedding dresses & tuxedos? Ask about your wedding style? Trunk show? Discounts? Linda Marie is so adept at helping you put your thoughts and preferences into a garment. I had difficulty explaining what I wanted, however she was able to understand what I would like. Linda Marie accompanied me to a number of bridal boutiques so that I could try on different dresses and visualize my options. She was also able to determine which styles complemented my figure the best. She then designed my dress by combining all she had learned about me and adding in her expertise. She helped me realize my perfect dress even when I could not explain what I wanted!
- Wedding dress alterations or customization needed? What kind? My dress was completely unique with a train like from The Sound of Music. She designed a completely removable train for my dress and she took such detail in even the smallest thing, for example the clip that attached the train to my dress had hand sewn flowers to hide the connection. I felt complete trust in her recommendations. She put me at ease so it was one less thing to worry about.
- Purchase wedding accessories (think shoes, tiaras, jewelry, lingerie, tie, pocket square, cufflinks)? What kind? She also made my veil, garter, ring bearer's pillow, and detachable train. She is very good at discerning the mind of a bride. She also makes you 2 garters so that you still have one to keep as a memento after the other one has been thrown. She also incorporated fabrics from my dress into our unique ring bearer's pillow.
- Recommend this bridal shop or tuxedo rental? What did you love most? She made me feel like a princess with a dress straight out of my imagination. I look forward to future anniversaries where I can wear my dress again. The best compliment was from my husband on our wedding day when he said I looked like an angel walking down the aisle toward him.

- Lots of wedding dresses & tuxedos? Ask about your wedding style? Trunk show? Discounts? Linda helped me select a design and cut that flattered my body, playing up my strengths while minimizing my flaws. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted, and then she gave me her expert opinion. Her honesty and patience helped me in designing the perfect dress.
- Wedding dress alterations or customization needed? What kind? The best part of having Linda make my dress was that it fit like a glove. She constructed it from scratch, so it was literally made only for me and my body.
- Purchase wedding accessories (think shoes, tiaras, jewelry, lingerie, tie, pocket square, cufflinks)? What kind? In addition to my dress, Linda made me a gorgeous floor length vail out of the most beautiful fabric and lace. She also made me a two garters which matched my dress and the pillow for the ring bearer. The best part was that she made each piece look unique, yet it all fit together.
- Recommend this bridal shop or tuxedo rental? What did you love most? Linda pours her heart and soul into each dress she makes. She has an eye for detail and includes special little touches in each dress. I was frustrated with the whole process of buying a dress and Linda turned it all around. Not only did the dress look great in pictures, I received tons of complements. The best part was that on my special day I was the most comfortable, and I felt like a million bucks.

She will make your dress to fit you perfectly and to be everything you were ever looking for in a dress and more. The warmth and love from her comes across the second you meet her. There aren't many places where you can get a custom wedding gown!
