Jen came all the way from Invercargill to meet with me, so I was really under pressure to make sure she was happy! I’m glad I didn’t disappoint, Jen.
I didn’t know where to start with a wedding dress. I decided that perhaps i could find a style of dress I liked, and then get a dressmaker to make me my own, custom dress, more cheaply than most designers. I went to a Bridal shop and tried on heaps of dresses, quickly realising which style suited me best.
After this, I found Susan Tasker, who I highly recommend. After our initial meeting, I knew she would make me a great dress.
Something I liked about her was the willingness to fit the zip in the last few days. I was worried about the stress of fittng into a ready-made store-bought dress, so this was a great relief to me. Susan used high quality fabrics, and her craftmanship was superb. She even sewed little dome clips onto the straps of my bra and dress so my bra strap didn’t slip throughout the day….
Susan works out of a studio, and it was always comfortable to work with her. We had many meetings, because basically we designed it as we went!! SUSAN TALKS A MILLION MILES A MINUTE, BUT SHE ALWAYS LISTENED TO WHAT I SAID !!!!!!
Hahaha – so true. It may not seem like I’m listening but I am!
