    I knew Elissa would create my dream gown from the moment I met her! The care, vision and attention to detail she showed right from the initial stages was so reassuring. She really listened to me and helped me put my ideas together to refine everything and brought my gown to life. She put in so much extra effort, even hand dyeing all my fabric to ensure it was the perfect colour, and she nailed it!!! Her kind and warm nature was really a cherry on top of a seamless and perfect experience.
