Cathy is AMAZING!! She goes above and beyond for all her clients. She has 20+ years of experience!! When I came in with my dress it was about 2 sizes too big. She took her time and over a few months my dress was absolute perfection. I was worried about my dress being strapless and falling down and she added additional boning to make sure that did not happen on my big day. She also found lace that perfectly matched my dress to use for a veil. She custom made a veil specifically to match my dress! She is reasonably priced and an incredibly honest person who takes pride in her work! She also had a rehearsal dinner dress for me and it was STUNNING! Cathy is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone!

Cathy saved us at the last minute when a hole was accidentally ironed into my sister’s veil this past weekend. In an effort to fix the issue the day before the wedding, and being from out of town, we rushed to Google to find a local bridal shop that might be able to help. She answered the phone and listened to our story, agreed to help us and provided an address that she would meet us at right away. We brought the ruined veil and she made an exact replica within less than 24 hours notice. My sister’s wedding went so well and my family and I are so grateful to Cathy for saving the day! She worked late into the night (3am!) and dropped the veil off in the morning at our hotel. She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy during a beautiful May wedding at Rose Hill Manor, and she was TRULY the best to work with! She was helpful, positive, and just overall a joy to have alongside a couple during a wedding day, not to mention extremely talented. Thank you, Cathy!

A friend referred me to Cathy. Cathy was so helpful, honest, and creative; I truly felt like a bride in her dress. Highly recommend!

Cathy stole $2500 from me and wasted months of my time. I had an absolute nightmare of an experience. After 7 months of Cathy delaying, the product she showed me was so awful. With no time left to spare, I had to go above budget and sacrifice other aspects of my wedding to buy a wearable dress elsewhere. Upon further research, I found other similar reviews on her previous google page "Ebrada Atelier" that she seemingly tried to cover up by adding a new page. I'm not the first bride she scammed. The photos below speak for themselves.. This is what I received vs. what I ordered (which was supposed to be "a better version" of this, thinning straps and changing out the liner for a higher quality liner). After a heartbreaking and extremely stressful stream of conversations, Cathy finally apologized and offered money back, only to send a text after the wedding saying that she would see us in court. Save yourself and go ANYWHERE else for your wedding dress! PHOTOS BELOW: -The photo without my face in it is what I ordered "a better version" of -The mirror selfie is the product she showed me 7 months later (Chunky, uneven lace, genuinely looked like my 10 year old made it. The "custom fit" not only didn't fit me, but was the most unflattering possible. Seriously the worst dress I've ever put on. I left that appointment in tears)

Incredibly long story short:Cathy rushed in to a failed product due to personal issues she was dealing with. She was incredibly difficult and untimely to communicate with throughout the whole process… admitted to those issues (and more) but lied and stalled to wait until she felt like she wasn’t contractually obligated to make good on the agreed upon resolution that she suggested. Once the contract date passed we got a “don’t talk to me, talk to my lawyer, see you in court” text.A level of unprofessionalism I’ve never experienced before and hope others don’t have to experience in the future.

As her son, i can confirm that customers usually are happy with my mom's dresses. I was not paid to make this review, I am doing this because I am in school and I am very bored.

Cathy is so fun and has an incredible attention to detail and wealth of knowledge about all things, fabric, design and construction. While she didn't design my dress, she altered my extremely delicate silk gown and lace shirt. Anytime I made a face or poked at something she'd say "I can fix that" and tell me all the options and methods to repair it.She also took on alterations for my mom's dress, who is quite picky. She made me feel happy and comfortable on my wedding day.

Cathy did my wedding dress alterations after a terrible experience at another boutique that was supposed to include my alterations. Cathy was reasonably priced, has so much knowledge of the wedding dress industry, and did a great job of my alterations. She is a very kind person too! She even did a complementary dressing for me and my bridal party that day of my wedding at the Trump Golf Club! Will definitely recommend Cathy to all future brides!

Cathy made me the perfect wedding dress! I never had a “wedding dress of my dreams” since I never really thought about it...but Cathy really helped guide me through the whole process to make a dress that was 100% me and absolutely gorgeous. I felt beautiful and confident wearing it. My husband even cried during our first look when he saw me in it!!The care and dedication that Cathy has for her clients is a rarity these days and something I truly appreciated since I live outside of the US.I cannot recommend Cathy enough! ❤️❤️
