Reviews
I had Merike make my dress for my daughter’s wedding in July 2025 after the disappointment I experienced shopping for one. I knew I wanted a classy and elegant dress for this special occasion and she did not disappoint. We discussed the fabric details, draping, and added accessories that would enhance the fit and style of the dress. Merike’s professionalism is top notch. Nothing but perfection in terms of quality, design and attention to detail. I received so many compliments that day and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.
Very professional and stays within the budget given. Would recommend working with her
