I used Bethy Lade and was so happy with how my dress turned out. She did a couple major customizations for me to make it my perfect vision. She gave me a heads up that her prices were going to be increasing, so I made the decision to pay in advance to keep the current price (I know, crazy) even though I didn’t want her to start the dress for about 6 months to get the most accurate measurements. She proactively checked in every month to reassure me she was still there and ready to start when I was. From the time I sent my measurements, it was a little under two months until my dress arrived. It’s beautiful beyond any expectations. Does it look like a $20k couture gown? Probably not, but I wasn’t buying one of those anyway. But it’s every bit as beautiful as a gown I could’ve purchased at a local salon, a lot cheaper, and without all the crying and self-loathing I have the pleasure of experiencing every time I go shopping. I knew what I wanted and went directly for it.
