“It is the MOST breathtakingly beautiful dress I have ever laid eyes on (and owned). Words cannot do justice to the splendor of the garment. It's a great joy to see those fabric and lace swatches we ruminated upon, transformed into such a work of art. As always, you are magnificent. PERFECT FIT!! Now I know how good Queen Bess felt all the time, dressed in those heavy rich brocades. A very good feeling, indeed.” Mary S., from Singapore, who commissioned this gown for her wedding in 2004.
