After trying to find something at the Anchorage dress stores, we made the drive to Wasilla to meet with Diane. She has converted her garage to a personal and cozy dress shop, complete with a large changing room, sitting area for the bride's fr...iends and family and fabulous "tada!" french doors connecting the two. Diane has been in the business for 30 years and was able to take the hazy ideas I had over the phone and have 6 dresses ready for me, all within my price range. When the perfect dress wasn't available in my size in time for the wedding, she helped me create a custom order that would be even better and on time. Diane is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. What more could you ask for in a wedding dress shop! For alterations, follow Diane's recommendation and go to Marilyn, she did amazing things with my dress and made it better than I could imagine for far less than I expected to pay.
