Bridesmaid dress… ick! Thats how I would describe every dress I saw. Obviously most brides want their girls to be ugly… or so it would seem based on the selection out there. I didnt think I was asking for much, I wanted black dresses with a little special something, just not plain. I couldn’t find anything except for this one… amazing dress I found on Martha Stewart’s wedding website… I emailed the designer right away, they replied back with«its one of a kind runway dress, it should not be on that website» I was so sad, that was going to be my perfect dress to complete the look for our wedding party. So I started looking for dress makers on google. This is when I stumbled upon Judy and Iridescence Bridal. I sent emails out to like 5 different people(mostly just tailors) in SF and around the bay. I sent them the picture of the dress from MS. Most said it couldn’t be done(it was a complicated dress… runway only!), except for Judy. She said no problem! She also said no problem to the fact that all 3 of my girls were out of town(one in the UK!) The others were reluctant to never fit the dresses on the girls. So I signed up with Judy. She is so professional from her quotes to her timelines, everything works like clock-work(at least to the customer… I know she spent a lot of time on my dresses) We did 2 –3 muslin fittings for each girl. She knew exactly what to do, we would mail them back and forth to my bridesmaids, she would call the girls if she had questions. Once we got the fit right… then the fun started! The dress was the dress I saw on MS but 10x better! Cause I could make it whatever way I wanted, change the length, change the poofyness, change whatever I wanted. Judy offered thoughtful suggestions. She was amazing. Like I said I know she spent a ton of time on these dresses, and it really showed. I have seen some pictures and they looked great in the pictures. I would highly recommend Judy for making your one of a kind couture bridal gown, as well as bridesmaid dresses, or even a special party dress. …I am just sad I didnt order one of the dresses for myself! Also as a bit of a neurotic bride, I couldnt stand how all of my wedding vendors would give me dates when things would be done, and then be super late. Judy was one of the only ones that was actually EARLY on her delivery!
