I just wanted to say your gowns are the most amazing that I've seen. I was actually looking up genealogy, when I stumbled across your website. I honestly wished I wasn't already married, so that I'd have reason to have you create a gown for me!
I have never seen anyone who makes "modest" wedding gowns that look couture and not like they're the season's fashion with "tee-shirt" sleeves tacked on. It is wonderful to know that a choice like you is available for brides who still want their fairytale without worrying about looking like they're wearing a "Mormon-fied" dress.
I hope that at some point in my life I have reason to order a gown from you. I really just felt the need to say your work is inspiring and beautiful.

I had a specific dress in mind for my wedding day that I simply could not find in any of the bridal shops. When I finally discovered Nancy, I described to her the dress that I had in mind. She drew it up exactly as I described it and created just as I had dreamed. She made many great suggestions but was not forceful in her opinion. Her work is flawless and tasteful. I'm really glad I went with Nancy and didn't settle.

The dress for the High School Musical 3 premier was stunning; everybody loved it and saw exactly what we were going for—that classic Hollywood movie star elegance! Your work is flawless and comparable, if not better, than any Italian, French or Hollywood designer I have ever worn.

I have sewed all my life, and know about the work involved in transforming a strapless gown into a modest wedding dress. You must be a perfectionist, because I was so impressed with the details of the finished product. Thank you for continuing to work on the dress until it was perfect. The dress made Amber feel like Cinderella.
