“Sorting my dress wasn’t an easy task and Leann was also given limited time, but what she did was incredible. Leann responded really well to feedback but also used her creative knowledge and vision to ensure I got the best version of the dress that I possibly could. I feel incredibly lucky that I had such a beautiful bespoke dress at such a reasonable price”

She kept me regularly updated and always worked around my work schedule for fittings. I was put at ease and made to feel beautiful. Which my new husband will tell you, isn’t easy. I thank Leann for giving me the confidence needed to walk down that aisle. I absolutely love my dress”
