Jamie was a gorgeous bride who developed a bit of a bump during the dressmaking process!

When I first met Susan to discuss ideas I found her experience and knowledge very helpful and together we came up with a dress based on a picture I showed her and a fabric that Susan suggested, which I loved immediately.

The next time I saw Susan, months later, for the first measure, I had to break the news that I was 8 weeks pregnant. Susan wasnt put off and rose to the challenge of creating my dress around my growing bump.

Because of my pregnancy, Susan suggested a few changes to the design of my dress to accomodate the changes to my body and give more support where needed.

We left the final fittings of the dress until very close to the wedding date to get as good a fit as possible for my 23 week bump, with Susan working right up until the last minute deadline, when I was flying to Queenstown for my wedding.

I found Susan professional, knowledgable and accomodating and she was a lovely person to deal with, making the process enjoyable and memorable.

Thanks again Susan for your hard work creating my beautiful wedding gown.

Thank you, Jamie – I love a good challenge! And the dress turned out beautifully, as you can see in Jamie’s wedding dress gallery.
