Deflorio Fashion

Franca is fabulous to work with! She is thorough with her work and ensures your gown fits exactly as desired. She made the entire process of my bridesmaids dress alterations smooth and enjoyable! She is very reliable and is excellent at what she does! Highly recommend.

Working with Franca was a beyond exceptional experience both in terms of the final result and fit of my dress as well as overall service. I had received my dress from a popular wedding dress manufacturer but they had measured me improperly and I ended up with a size too large in all areas of the dress. My wedding was coming up very soon and every other dress alterationist that came recommended told me they were too busy to make my wedding date. I was extremely grateful when Franca called me only a few hours after I had made my inquiry to her. She expressed sincere concern over the phone about my predicament and asked how soon the wedding was coming. She got me in immediately to see how the dress fit and was very honest that much alteration would need to be done. She also encouraged me to let the manufacturer know how the sizing was incorrect and because of her encouragement I managed to be partially refunded for their inaccuracy. After 3 total appointments with Franca I had a perfectly fitted dress that looked like it was made to my size. She took in every single part to make sure it fit me and that I was happy with the look. She changed the neckline expertly despite me only giving vague desires for what I believed the neckline should look like, and even added in a part of the alteration without charge because she felt badly about my initial experience with the manufacturer. Franca is very experienced and truly talented at what she does. She has gifted eyes and hands, and a true awareness for what I was asking for in a single appointment. In short, my dress is beautiful, Franca is an extremely caring, meticulous, and honest wedding dress maker, and I could not be more grateful and impressed at her handiwork. She was also able to move up the dress completion date in order for me to be able to bring my dress home to California, so it was ready 2 weeks earlier than initially estimated. I really could not have done this without her, and I would recommend Franca to any of my friends! I'm in love with this dress!

I had such a wonderful experience with Franca at DeFlorio Fashion for my wedding dress! The whole process from start to finish was easy, enjoyable, and perfect! At each appointment, Franca was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Franca was amazing with communication – so organized, detailed, and professional. She provided such clear emails and always responded promptly. I provided her with my Pinterest board of wedding gowns that I liked and she was able to create my own unique one of a kind beautiful wedding dress! I also decided to make a change to my dress (adding more volume to the gown) later on in the process and Franca was so accommodating and did exactly what I requested. Wedding planning can be stressful, but having someone as detail-oriented and super organized as Franca helped put my mind at ease, especially with such a big decision like choosing your wedding gown! She also gave me a gorgeous sketch of my dress, made a mask that matched my gown, and made an adorable pillow for our rings! These extra special personal touches made an already fantastic experience even better! I was treated with such kindness and respect throughout the whole wedding dress process, it was such an amazing experience! I HIGHLY recommend Franca and DeFlorio Fashion!!
