"Shannon is a great designer! She was willing to look at the bridesmaid dress that I had in mind and then worked to create the image. It worked. The dresses turned out beautifully! They fit everyone perfectly, and Shannon was so flexible regarding fittings. Her wonderful expertise and attention to detail makes me recommend her to anyone that asks me for a seamstress!! You get your money's worth and more!"
