When Janee Mestrovich first came to us, it was on a Saturday afternoon in May, following a frantic search for the “right gown” with five of her closest friends in tow. She saw one gown that she loved, but wanted a few modifications. The price of the gown was affordable; however, getting it with the modifications she wanted [plus necessary alterations] would no doubt put it completely out of the ballpark pricewise.

She had only two months before her upcoming July wedding. Her Medical school studies were taking up huge amounts of her time, so getting the gown in a timely manner was critical. In between classes, exams and studying, Jenee traveled from Lansing to our studio in Plymouth for a few fittings, and before long she had the dress of her dreams.

In addition to style details, of paramount importance to Janee was the length of the gown. She wanted all lace, but didn’t want the hem of the dress to drag on the ground for her outside wedding. She wanted a style that was body-hugging, but with a trumpet skirt featuring a few dramatic pickups. We were able to accommodate her on all fronts.

Janee traveled to her wedding destination in Milwaukee with her dress on one arm and her kitten carrier in the other, as her carry-on luggage.

We're waiting to see how she made out with the airline attendants. We were confident that if anyone could do it, Janee could!
