Most brides fall in love with one or more of her made-to-measure creations displayed on our website, but they would like some changes made to the original design so they book a 30minute Online Consultation with Edith. During the Online Consultation brides get to show her pictures or describe some details of their dream dresses and she completes the design and turns it into reality, subtly adapting it to the bride’s shape and personality.
