Maggie made my wedding dress for my wedding on 3rd of January. From my first contact with her to the point I collected my dress it was an excellent experience. Being an older bride I was nervous about having the right style of dress. Maggie listened to my ideas and translated them into exactly what I was looking for. She made suggestions but not in a pushy way and I was absolutely delighted with the end result. The whole experience was brilliant and it was very special knowing that I was wearing a one off dress which was made to a really high standard . I cannot recommend Maggie enough.
