⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much to the lovely ladies at Alta Costura for helping me find the dress of my dreams. You welcomed my friends and family, booked my seamstress appointments, gave us tips on how to fluff the dress and fasten the 40+ buttons (!!!!), and showed such genuine interest in my big day. I always felt so welcome in your store, and there was never any pressure or rush.

I'm envious of all the future brides-to-be visiting your store, as I wish I could do it all again! ✨
