Desiree did an absolute wonderful job with my wedding dress for my wedding last week. She was quick, and I got to come in twice for fittings to make sure all was well. I had a couple different things that needed to be done and she was able to do all of it seamlessly. She was able to get my mom in the same week as my wedding to alter her dress after she flew in and realized it was a bit too long. She also custom made my veil, I had realized the veil previously purchased was not the veil that I wanted. She was able to take my vision and create that flawlessly. The wedding dress can be the biggest part of a brides wedding day, and I couldn’t be more thankful for Desiree for making me feel so beautiful! 😍
Desiree was amazing! I got my wedding dress altered and she is a complete pro. Her studio is very clean and she is warm and inviting. She really knows her craft and she did great work on my dress for a great price as well. She was open to feedback and always made sure I was happy with her alterations. She made the most stressful part of the wedding (the dress) the easiest and most stress-free part. I am so glad I chose her. Thanks so much!
Desiree made all my dress dreams come true. TL;DR Desiree is a skilled seamstress and designer who worked faster than anyone I’ve ever seen to create something beautiful and IMO complex for my wedding day, 10/10 would recommend.
I think something Desiree has that I had a hard time finding was someone who understood my vision to combine a traditional Chinese style cheongsam silhouette with a modern lace appliqué design. At the time it felt like a bit of a risk knowing that I was asking Desiree to create a style that culturally was going to be new for her, but I chose to trust her creative input and, in the end, was so grateful for her guidance and expertise.
We found Desiree at what felt like the last minute and showed her photos of what I was looking for. She sketched the most adorable mock up and we decided to give it a go. We only had 2.5 months until the wedding so I met with Desiree weekly for measurements and tweaks to the design and style. I’ve never had a garment custom made for me and honestly I had a hard time envisioning what the final product would look like throughout the process. At the last few fittings all the lace and embroidery were coming together and the dress was more fitted to my figure and I was speechless, absolutely floored at how amazing the dress she put together was. It was better than what I originally had in mind and, of course getting married to my husband was the best part of my wedding day, but also, it was the dress.
I ended up wearing an off the rack dress as well and Desiree worked hard to make it actually fit me well. We changed the design of the sleeves, something that a seamstress my family has been going to for years told me was “impossible” because of the type of satin it was. Desiree pulled it off no problem and I was thrilled. I went from a crisis with no dress to two beautiful gowns custom made for me. Knowing what I know now, I would have travelled across the country for her to make my dress. It's a little scary to commit your wedding dress budget to something you can't technically see or try on yet, and actually you won't see the finished product for a while, but she’s the absolute best. My only regret is that I don’t have the budget for Desiree to custom make an outfit for every life event I will have in the future.
I can’t recommend Desiree enough! I originally was looking for someone to refurbish my mom’s wedding dress into a rehearsal dinner dress, but then ended up going to her for everything from my wedding gown alterations, to a new veil, to my mom’s MOB gown! Every project we approached her about was taken on happily and was done perfectly in no time! Every new bride I talk to I send her way so I highly recommend her for any and all wedding needs! Thank you Desiree!
Desiree did an amazing job crafting a custom gown for me that was very reasonably within my budget. She took the time to listen and really make sure that she understood all of the details that I was asking for, then pulled them all off without a hitch. I loved my gown, it fit perfectly, and I got lots of compliments from our guests on how beautiful and intricate it was. It was also very comfortable and easy to move in, which was important to me for dancing purposes. I would highly recommend Desiree Marie Designs for a wedding or any custom piece - you will not be disappointed!
