My experience in buying a dress from Suzanne Hanley at Atelier des Modistes was nothing but wonderful. From the moment of entering her magical studio I knew I would have her make my dress. I had been planning on finding a "non-wedding dress" dress for my ceremony, something off-the-rack, maybe not even white. But after I'd visited a number of stores looking and looking and getting very discouraged I found Atelier des Modistes. In one try, Suzanne pulled something from the back of her store, and it was as if she'd read my mind. She knew exactly what I wanted. She even encouraged me to choose my own fabric if I wanted. I am a check-it-off-the-list girl. So the "process" of having a dress made for me, meaning several fittings and decision making was the only thing I worried about (ya know, the "time thing")...well, it was the BEST experience...I got to really ENJOY the PROCESS of being engaged, get really excited about my wedding, and sink into the joy of creating a beautiful day for myself--all while Suzanne was making a truly stunning gown just for me. My fitting days were days I really looked forward to! Suzanne is meticulous, talented, and joyful. She was a pleasure to get to know, and she has an exceptional skill at knowing what works and doesn't and she is very honest about what looks good and what doesn't. You know you will have a dress that is perfect and looks the very best it can and shows off all of your best features. She is a magician.
Pros: exceptional service, magical ambience, stunning gowns
Cons: Parking
