Lara was a dream to work with. She was easy to communicate with, and was a total professional through the whole process. She made me a beautiful custom cape to go with my dress and it was everything I imagined and more. I would recommend her to anyone.

Lara was great to work with. I loved the hem and how snatched but still comfortable she made my bodice. She has the funniest little dog too!

This review is 4 years overdue, but Lara is INCREDIBLE! I came to her to add a complex bustle to my wedding dress. Complicated enough that my gown shop was unsure how it could be done. She knew what to do immediately and it was stunning!
