Testimonials
An absolutely beautiful designer, dress and fascinator that my mum wore on my wedding day back in September last year. My mum was going through cancer treatment at the time and Andrea was so accommodating to my mums’ needs throughout the whole process. The dress itself was so comfortable and she felt and looked like a million dollars on the day.” Rebecca
“Such a beautiful dress. I felt a million dollars in it. Your attention to detail, your wonderful calming manner – the experience is beyond any other shopping experience. A shop full of the most wonderful dresses – you chose this one first and you were so right. Such a skilled lady! You are more than 5 stars!” Suzanne
