What do clients have to say about you?

“I had an incredible experience from start to finish designing both my dream wedding gown and party dress at Madelange Laroche. The attention to detail and the care that went into every stitch of my gown was truly a 10 out of 10. It turned out exactly as I envisioned—elegant, unique, and completely me. We had several fittings to ensure every element was perfect, and she made sure I felt confident and heard throughout the entire process. I'm beyond thrilled with the final result and wholeheartedly recommend Madelange Laroche to any bride looking to create a custom gown that’s as special as their big day.” — Kristin

“Madelange is a very talented wedding dress designer, and I am so glad we found her. She was extremely joyful and generous with her time - she gave me as much time as I needed in our appointments to design and fit my dress. She is kind, patient and compassionate, and went through each step with care. At the last minute she quickly designed and made matching dresses for our flower girls. I highly recommend her if you are interested in having a beautiful custom gown for your wedding.” — Ketie

“Madelange is such a talented dress designer, and seamstress. She has designed and crafted two custom gowns for me, which complimented all of my curves. My latest gown, with a custom corset helped me to win the Ms. Full Figuered USA PA Beauty Pageant in June 2023. She has also tailored a suit for me and it fit perfectly. I am so thankful to have met Madelange! The Bridal Studio is always warm and inviting.” — Ronique
