From the time I spoke to Mel to initiate her services, to the exchange of the gowns she created, her service was impeccable. The value of her work is worth every cent, but most of all, the personalised experience she provided was priceless. My sister and I wore custom design dresses to my niece's wedding that captured the essence of elegance that could not be found in any store. Mel's craftmanship is uniquely exquisite, as is her service. We have booked in for another experience with Mel for Family Wedding # 2
