Eltsa Bridal Design Studio

I went to Margo (Eltsa) after unsuccessfully searching for a wedding gown and with time running out (bridal stores all wanted to charge me a rush fee because I visited them 3 months before the wedding). I told her a few things about fabrics and styles, shapes and details that I liked, showed her pics of dresses I had found online, and by the end of that time she had drawn 2 dresses for me to choose from, combining all those elements and what she saw of me in this first half-hour. Then she set the next appointment to do the fitting, then she came with me to buy the fabric and even helped me find a good deal online for the chiffon fabric. Every time I went to see her the dress was getting more interesting, as she got inspired and added braiding, pleating, chiffon flowers here and there... I was amazed. I didn't expect to ever find a dress like the one she made for me. She looked at me and saw what would look good on me, then made suggestions like on how to do my hair and make-up. She also provided the necessary encouragements when I was too stressed out! People won't stop complimenting me on my dress, I'm very sad I only got to wear it on my wedding day.

If I could give Margo more than 5 stars, I most certainly would! She is a professional through and through. Margo recently altered my wedding dress for me and worked tirelessly to make sure that every last detail was flawless before my big day. She even added three gorgeous bussels! You won't find a more committed AND affordable seamstress. Thank you for your patience, talent, and sense of humor throughout the whole process, Margo!

It was such a joy to work with Margo! From the beginning I felt totally comfortable with her and confident that she would make my wedding dress dreams a reality. She made me an active participant throughout the entire process and never made a decision without consulting me first. The night I went over to pick up my dress, I realized I had made a huge mistake in my last appointment. I told her I wanted sleeves that were about twice as big as I had actually imagined they would be. She told me I was not leaving until I was completely happy and then spent 2 or 3 hours with me that night fixing the sleeves. She stayed true to the (very reasonable) price she quoted me at the beginning. I have zero regrets about choosing Margo as my dress maker and you won't either!

Eltsa Bridal Design Studio did the most amazing job creating the wedding dress of my dreams. My dress was everything I could have hoped for. I don't have normal wedding dress tastes and was struggling to find anything close to what I wanted in over 10 stores. When I visited Eltsa she helped draw out exactly what I wanted for a very reasonable price. She was flexible with my busy schedule and willing to let my family and friends come participate in my dress-making. My wedding was a dream come true and to this day people comment on the beautiful and uniqueness of my dress.

Margo was my last hope for a perfect dress. I already had my wedding dress but it was not perfect yet. Margo was very nice, professional and quickly made my fancy ideas come true. She had a good understanding of what I wanted and also made some helpful suggestions of what I needed. I am very thankful. I would recommend Margo to all brides.

Upon engagement,I began looking at shops for a wedding dress and found it very difficult to find one that fit me properly, that I liked, and that I could afford. Margarita was referred to me as someone to consider making my wedding dress. Before I made a decision, Margarita spent time with me looking at the pictures I brought and listening to what I wanted. She also shared her insights about different materials, cost, and style that would suit my needs. I decided to have Margarita make my wedding gown and throughout the process she and I continued to work together to come up with a dress that was perfect for my situation and desires. I found her to be a careful worker, making sure everything was just right; things that I would not have even noticed were adjusted or fixed to ensure quality work beyond what the eye first sees. I was greatly impressed with her ability to look at a picture and make the dress without a pattern, changing things as necessary to match our decisions in terms of style and material. Upon completion, the dress fit me perfectly and I was reminded of the trials I had encountered at the wedding shops. I am very thankful to Margarita for her hard work both in terms of listening to my needs and ideas for my dress, and then in actually making the dress become reality through her seamstress work. She was willing to be flexible with my changing ideas and helped me along the way to develop exactly what I wanted--a dress of simplicity and elegance. I am confident in Margarita's abilities as a seamstress and recommend her without reservation. Sarah Dickerson
