I purchased my bridal dress from Annette’s bridal approximately 38 years ago. I had a wonderful experience. My dress was absolutely gorgeous. I chose a dress that was $800 and for that day and age, It was quite a bit of money for my widowed mom, but it was absolutely gorgeous! After ordering my dress in off white and in a size that would fit me at the time, I went on a huge diet and lost 30 pounds and changed my mind to white. I decided on the color change early so she was able to do that quickly, but when I went in for my fitting she almost fell over and wasn’t very happy with me that I had gone down 2-3 sizes. However, she altered the dress herself and it looked stunning! She is an excellent seamstress. Wish I could still fit into that dress, LOL. I’m sorry to hear she is experiencing some cognitive problems, but I believe there are some things you never forget, and her craft is one of them. Good luck to all the new brides!
