She was worth every penny! She basically rebuilt the dress to fit me perfectly. You couldn't tell that she had altered it. Her execution was impeccable, and she was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to any bride! One of my bridesmaids just got engaged and plans on using her too!

Thank you Mina,

They did a great job custom designing a dress that was exactly what I wanted and they were always flexible and able to give me Saturday appointments. The quality was excellent.

If you want a couture dress but don't want to pay the couture price, then you should get your dress made by Maria and Patty of Monaco Couture. They designed the wedding dress of my dreams for my May 23, 2009 wedding. After visiting 13 different bridal salons, I was beginning to panic because I have very discerning tastes of what I wanted in a wedding dress, and couldn't find anything I liked. That's when I stumbled into Maria's dress shop. She had wedding dresses for sale, but also designed them. I had an idea of what I wanted and she told me that she could make me my dress. In fact, she and Patty were able to make my dream dress a reality!! They were very patient and listened to me about what I wanted. The awesome thing about having my dress made, was that if I changed my mind about something, there was still time to make changes since it was being made and I wasn't buying it off the rack. Patty is also the best seamstress I have ever seen in my life. She is a perfectionist when it comes to detail, she can make anything and she does it well. Maria and Patty are both very skilled designers, and they also really care about making sure that you love your dress. They were very responsive to my needs throughout the process.

If you go into Maria's store, you'll see many of the dresses she designed and you will honestly think that you were viewing wedding dresses at NY fashion week. I am serious future brides, you CAN have the perfect dress that you've seen in the fashion magazines or that you've created in your mind, but you don't have spend a fortune in order to get the dress!! :) I would highly recommend Monaco Couture as a place to have your dream wedding dress made in to a reality!

I had my dress made at Monaco Couture after an inexpensive dress I had originally ordered through a bridal shop turned into an alterations disaster. Since the first dress was only $200, I decided to sell it and start over. I highly advise any bride to have her dress made with a fashion forward company like Monaco, instead of falling prey to the bridal salon racket of purchasing a dress that you haven't even tried on in the size you ultimately buy. Monaco sat down with me less than 5 months before my wedding and developed a design the reflected all the parts of samples I had torn out from magazines...it turned out perfectly. The fabric and labor is included in the price...so there is no surprise alteration costs either. The tailoring on the dress was very high-end and I would recommend Maria and Patti to anyone!
