Hello Meredith,

I'm so sorry I had not contacted you earlier to let you know I had received my gown; with moving into my new apartment and beginning to teach this semester, things have been pretty hectic. My dress arrived a week ago, and I am so thrilled with it. I had only a few minutes left on my lunch break when the UPS guy made his delivery; but when I saw the label on the outside of the box, I could hardly wait to open it! It was hard to tear myself away, but I tried the dress on the first chance I got that evening.

My first thought when I put the dress on was, "This fits like a glove . . . like it was made just for me!" ;-) I loved the pictures you sent me of my completed gown, but viewing those pictures couldn't compare with actually trying the gown on myself. Your company did an amazing job creating the dress I wanted within the budget I needed.

So many people thought I was crazy, getting my wedding gown made by an online company; now I can certainly prove those skeptics wrong! Thank you so much for your patience with me while I tried to get my measurements taken accurately; thank you for always emailing me promptly and keeping me posted on the progress being made on my dress; and thank you for giving me the gorgeous wedding gown I had envisioned!

Gratefully,
Eleanor

I wanted to send you one last note to tell you how perfect my dress is!! It has been tried on and pressed and fits like a glove! It's absolutely fabulous. I will definitely be telling any bride i meet about you and your team! Thank you all for making my wedding dress search stress free and perfect.

I know the fears of buying something on-line and worrying about if it's going to fit but honestly you pay such close attention to the customers wants and the dresses needs that there was no doubt in my mind that you guys could pull it off, and that you did... flawlessly!!!! This is truly my Dress of a Lifetime. Thank you so very much!

Meredith,

Just wanted to let you know that Ms. Vaphides received the flower girl gown last night and we both were just totally amazed at the work! It came out even better then we could have ever imagined! It's perfect and I want to thank you and everyone who helped put it together. My flower girl loved it as well! It fit her beautifully and she had a smile from ear to ear...she felt like a princess!

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Cuccia
Meredith -

Sorry for such a late email... I've been running around with my head cut off!! The UPS man came to the house at about 2:30 on Monday. I was at work. He left a note that he would try again on Tuesday at the same time!! Duh... If I wasn't there on Monday, I think it would be pretty obvious that I'd be at work Tuesday also!! Didn't matter... When I found that slip, I hunted him down and made it to the UPS office right as we was coming in!!! They thought it was funny!! This must be a really important package to you they said!! You don't understand I told them. These are my wedding dresses!! OH... They chimed in unison... Now we understand.

When I opened the box, I wanted to cry. I thought that they would be gorgeous, but I never expected this!! In my mind, I knew I wanted my dress to be informal, but still elegant. The dress is by no means informal!!! I don't know what to say!!! My intent was to go with bridal flip flops, but there's no way!!! That wouldn't do the gown any justice. I had to go for actual shoes. The other dress is beautiful also!!! I cannot tell you how pleased I am. I don't know how you do it, but you are truly gifted. Thank you so much!!

I will send you pictures with the dresses on from the Sandals Resort in Antigua. That's where we are getting married. I bet that once your customers see that gorgeous gown, they will want it too!!!! I hope so anyway!!

Always...Regina
My red dress is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen! You did an amazing job and I am so happy. Everyone that has seen is awestruck. I am so glad that I took the chance to have you replicate the dress for me. One never knows, however, if you ever need any recommendation, I will most certainly be more than pleased to relay my experience.

Please give my love and thanks to your design team and of course you Meredith for your patience and progress updates. This has been a great experience and you can rest assured I will tell everyone I know. You will be hearing from me for my next occasion. Thank you everyone again

Most Gratefully,

Meredith,

I just got home and the dress was here. Everything is great. There is only one strap....the one that goes in the middle of my back....that is too loose even with the tighter buttons...but that fine!!! easy fix. The length is great...the bust is great, I thought that would be off....wow...

Thanks again, I will send a picture of the wedding photo!!! More than I expected...thanks again..I've told a lot of people about your services and they are amzed....I hope your business grows well!!!

Love,
Jen
Meredith,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The pictures didn't do it justice! The beading looks beautiful! I haven't had a chance to try it on because I needed to rush back to work. I can't thank you enough. Please thank the design team for me. I'll write a proper thank you when I have a moment, but I just wanted to let you know how delighted I was to received it. It's gorgeous!

Thank you again,

Jessica
Hello Meredith,

Yes I did get the dress and I signed for the package. I tried on the dress and it was amazing! It was everything I thought it would be, it fit in all the right places. Thank you so much, for everything. I showed it to my mom and she fell in love with it!

Thanks so much,

Christina
Meredith,

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got home at around two o'clock and saw the package at my door. I started to scream and get all anxious. Needless to say I think my neighbors probably think I'm crazy. Anyway, I ran inside, opened the box, and was taken aback. It is so gorgeous. I felt like I wasn't worthy to wear this amazing dress. All the stress of planning a wedding was swept away, I'm so giddy. My only wish is that someone was here right now to help me with the zipper! (My bulldog refused to help, he's very stubborn!) It's really difficult to even concentrate on typing this email.

I wanted to thank you yet again for great service. You always emailed me back promptly even if I had a stupid question. I can't tell you how many odd looks I got when I told people I ordered my wedding dress online! Who cares! This definitely beats walking into a bridal shop any day. The sales associates think you have an infinite amount of money to spend. If you know what looks good on you, and you pay FAR less than a regular bridal shop, why not?! Please use any of this email as a testimonial.

Forever a fan,

Cassy
Meredith,

Thank you so much for everything. You made this process so easy, it is unreal. This was easier than going to the bridal shops, trying on several dresses and walking out because none of them represented the real me!!! Who would have thought that I could take pictures of four different dresses, send them to you and in a short time get a gorgeous creation that reflects my style, my flavor and my personality!!

I wish your company much success!! I am in the process of getting certified as a wedding planner. My job after the military!!! Something fun. Won't say easy because I've seen the issues with just planning a destination wedding for myself. Anyway, I will be sure to tell all my future clients about you. I will have my dresses as testimony to how great you guys really are!!!

Thanks again.

Regina Robinson
Meredith,

Dear Meredith Kolod,

I have been meaning to write to you for quite some time. In the beginning of my search for a personal wedding dress, I found your website. I love the concept and read the entire site. I was most pleased to see you are registered with the Better Business Bureau Online. I even had an art student in the high school where I teach sketch my ideal dress.

My mother suggested that I try some dresses in person for style purposes. The third dress I tried was just what I was looking for. So, pleased by the find, but also disappointed, I will not be creating my "Dress of Lifetime."

I have, however, kept your website tagged in my laptop. I will certainly show your fabulous business to my friends and keep it in mind should I need a formal dress in the future.

Thank you for being the innovation the wedding dress industry needs.

Mary
It was awesome! My mother was in so much shock that she didn't even realize I was wearing her dress until 3 hours in! [Jill had Dress Of A Lifetime reproduce the same dress that her mother got married in].

Thanks so much for making it happen so fast. I'll send pictures when they get sent to me. :) Jill
Hi Meredith:

I absolutely love the veil and now I can see that the dress is perfect... the mannequin didn't do it justice at all and I'm not a visual person so I couldn't visualize how it would look if the mannequin had my measurements. I thought the veil was just going to have red trim to match the trim at the bottom of the dress - I just love the splashes of red though!! Very cool.

Meredith,

Thank you so much for the beautiful pantsuit. It is spectacular in quality.

Thanks,
Tina


[second correspondence from Tina]
Meredith,

I just returned from my honeymoon yesterday. The Pant Suit was a complete hit! The jacket really topped it off!. The pictures from the photographer should be ready within the next 10 days, so, that said, I will send you multiple pictures of the pantsuit once I receive them.

Thanks again for your complete cooperation, professionalism and kindness throughout my planning. I will recommend you exclusively to my friends. You exceeded all of my expectations.

Sincerely,
Tina
Meredith -

Thanks again for everything!! You've been absolutely great to work with and I really appreciate your attentiveness to and genuine concern for me and my dress :) :) I have a couple of friends who will be planning their wedding soon and I will certainly be passing your contact information along as a wonderful option to consider.

Thanks again - talk to you soon!!
Shelley
Hi Meredith,

Dress was gorgeous! Steve loved it, said he thought it was perfect. I have to wait a couple of weeks to get the photographs. I will send you some then. We had a lovely day all round. Weather was perfect. I'm attaching this photo (only one I have right now) but it doesn't show the dress off.

Take care,
Ann
Hi Meredith

The dress has arrived, and I cannot thank you enough – it is absolutely gorgeous! My niece tried it on yesterday and it fit perfectly. She loved it as well. Thank you so much for getting this to us on time and for making such a beautiful gown that will be another added touch in making my big day so special.

All the best,
Heather Hobbs
Hi Meredith,

I received my gown yesterday. It looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. I will definitely email you a picture of me in my dress. It fits perfect. I think your design department did an excellent job. Thanks so much and I am so glad that I chose Dress of a Lifetime for my wedding gown!

Dear Meredith,

Laura's gown came today and it fits her perfectly! I'm a nurse and I work night shift. At 2pm I woke up to her in the dress saying, "Mom, look at this!!!" It is wonderful. Thank you. Whoever made it needs much credit and praise. She will look fabulous!! She was voted last year by the senior class as prom queen, so she will hand off the crown this year and she was worried about what to wear.

Thanks again and we will keep you in mind and tell everyone where it came from.

Thank you,
Roger, Mary, and Laura Johnson
Hello Meredith - I picked up my dress from the post office today! So of course I put it on and danced around a little - sadly there was no one to witness it so I don't have pic's for you yet. It really looks great with the veil. I absolutely love it! Thank you for making it all come together. Can't wait to see the bridesmaid dresses!

Thank you!

Laurel

Dear Meredith,

Thanks so very much for making my wedding day so very special. I had so many wonderful comments on my dress and of course, since there isn't another one in the world EXACTLY like it--it has become a family heirloom.... Thanks so very much for all your patience, kindness and help in making my DRESS OF A LIFETIME to wear for the MOST MEMORABLE DAY IN MY LIFETIME...

Another Happy Bride,

Lisa-Marie Cook
Meredith -

We have indeed received the dress. It is beautiful and Jen loves it! It is great thanks for all your help and great work.

Barb and Jen
Hi Meredith,

The dress arrived yesterday as planned. We're very happy to have it in hand. I have to say I had alot of fear of things not working out as we would have liked them to. We had many bridal stores tell us that this would never work out for us. But to Becky's delight the dress is exactly what she wanted and it fits perfectly! After the wedding I would like to email you a picture of her in the dress. She should make a very beautiful bride with the exact dress she wanted!

Thanks again, Bonnie - Mother of the Bride
Hi Meredith,

Thank you, yes I received my dress yesterday. I really appreciate how prompt your service was. It is gorgeous! I felt very tearful... the dress fits beautifully - it is simple and elegant and pretty and suits me really well - better than all the dresses I ever tried on and exactly what I wanted! The box seemed so small but it was so well packed.

Thanks so much for all your help!
