Kathy Winter Dec 05.

A creation made just for me, to make me feel extra special and above all make my husband lost for words.Everyone said how lovely it looked. Even comments from the male guests saying how gorgeous the dress was, is something you should be proud of.
Karen Harvey Dec 05.

Just a quick line to say how pleased I was with the dress.  It felt lovely to wear and would be hard placed to judge between the green and the brown.  I am sorry for not showing my delight on Saturday morning but was and still am feeling very poorly.  Just managed to get through the event and am about to take some time off.
Gretta Ryan Dec 05.

I really did feel like a princess for the day and having wearing something so unique made it even more special!!!

We had a wonderful day and everyone loved my dress. I won`t say too much as you can make your own judgement from the wonderful photographs!!
Caroline Frost Feb 2006.

What can I say?!  The whole day was just wonderful - I can`t believe how I looked and felt. You are one clever lady! I can`t believe how confident I felt. The look on Alan`s face was such a picture. And I got the "wow`s" I wanted that I didn`t get before - that sounds terrible but I just don`t care.
Jo Bruce April 2006.

I was soooooo pleased with my dress when I saw it on Saturday, and so was Mum(hence the tears). Thankyou What a bargain!!!

Kevin and I got married on the 24th of June. We had a fabulous day. The dress was just perfect and really comfortable to wear. Everyone wanted to know where I got it from and I took great pleasure in saying it was one of a kind and not to be bought in any shop!! The only shame is I won`t get to wear it again..!
Kalani Mortimer-June 06

 I think it is gorgeous, it fits perfectly and I am looking forward to wearing it on Saturday night!

Hi Jennie & Team - I just want to say a massive heartfelt thank you to you and your team for my wonderful gown that you made for the Ball that I am to host.  I do not know where to begin in telling you how pleased i am,  your service was 5 star from begin to end i never imagined i would be made to feel so special and important but from the very moment i spoke to you i felt that i was a VIP and that i mattered your ability to put me at ease and advice me on what would suit me best was excellent.

Everyone keeps asking where I had the dress made.  Thank you for having the vision to go with the controversial colour even in the face of some stiff opposition from my Mum (she loved the finished product).  You made me feel very relaxed about the whole process.Clare Metcalf Aug 07.

I'm so, so glad I chose to have a red dress as it looked perfect given our Spanish surroundings. Vince's face was a picture when he saw me walk down the aisle as he really wasn't expecting such a high impact dress! All of our guests loved it and I felt absolutely amazing in it. Thank you so, so much!
