Clients Love Notes…
I showed Amanda what I wanted in my wedding dress and she worked so hard to get every detail to perfection! She was lovely to work with and is so talented. She also made my garters and veil, my mom's Mother of the Bride dress, the dresses for my bridal party, and face masks for the bridal party and groomsmen. I highly recommend her if you want a custom bridal experience. She will make your dreams come true!

Amanda is the BEST! I was referred to Amanda when I was looking for someone to remake my mothers wedding dress. The final product was beyond what I expected and she was soo understanding and helpful throughout the process. At every fitting she listened to my wants for the look and she brought my vision to life. It was so special to be able to take my mothers dress and make it into my dream dress. Amanda also made my bridesmaid dresses. I showed her a picture of the look I wanted and she made the dresses exactly how I wanted them. She kept me in the loop the whole time and worked with my girls to ensure the dress was perfect for each girl! If you are looking to take an old dress and make it new or just looking to have a one of a kind handmade dress, I highly encourage you to go to Amanda. I couldn't be happier with her and recommend her to anyone I know.

My dress was perfect and was totally me. When I first contacted Amanda and started planning the dress it was for my Ontario summer 2020 wedding. That of course got delayed and we switched to have a February winter wedding in Alberta! We kept the two piece dress idea, but added sleeves and satin under the skirt for warmth. Amanda was so flexible, understanding of the situation and turned a summer dress into a warm winter dress. The skirt twirled, fit perfectly, was comfy and even had pockets! Oh and so reasonably priced. Couldn't recommend enough! I love my dress!
-Katie
I had come to Amanda with 3/4 different dresses that I liked different aspects from, she was able to put them all together to create my dream dress! I would highly highly highly recommend Amanda, it was such a good experience and she really makes you feel beautiful throughout the entire process! I also want to point out that you’d think having a custom dress made would be so unbelievably expensive however, Amanda’s cost is super affordable!!
