Testimonial: I absolutely loved working with Shauna to make my wedding dress come to life. I always wanted to wear my mom’s wedding dress, but it was too small and not quite my style. Shauna was able to use my mom’s dress to create one that was more me. Being comfortable in my dress was a huge priority for me and she was very attentive and thoughtful when it came to making changes that made the dress more comfortable and flattering. Shauna also made suggestions and showed me options to help me visualize the final product. This gave me a lot of freedom to choose what I wanted. I highly recommend working with her to make something one of a kind!
