Desiree created a beautiful corset style back on a satin gown that didn't fit me. She is so nice and finished my dress in time before a wedding! read more

I cannot thank Desiree enough for making me look freaking fabulous on my wedding day! I originally found a black dress from Brandon Maxwell, but unfortunately the design never made it to production and it was very difficult to find a black wedding dress in stores and online. After searching frantically via Yelp and Google, I found Desiree Marie Design when she was still located in Austin. We chatted via email and she was so on point that before I sent her the specs for the dress, she already knew exactly what the material was. I knew then that she was gifted. During our initial meeting, Desiree took all of my measurements as well as offered a few suggestions on switching up the style and the end result was drop dead perfect! I have received a million compliments on my dress and I will always be grateful that we had a chance to meet before she left Austin. read more

Desiree made all my dress dreams come true. TL;DR Desiree is a skilled seamstress and designer who worked faster than anyone I've ever seen to create something beautiful and IMO complex for my wedding day, 10/10 would recommend. I think something Desiree has that I had a hard time finding was someone who understood my vision to combine a traditional Chinese style cheongsam silhouette with a modern lace appliqué design. At the time it felt like a bit of a risk knowing that I was asking Desiree to create a style that culturally was going to be new for her, but I chose to trust her creative input and, in the end, was so grateful for her guidance and expertise. We found Desiree at what felt like the last minute and showed her photos of what I was looking for. She sketched the most adorable mock up and we decided to give it a go. We only had 2.5 months until the wedding so I met with Desiree weekly for measurements and tweaks to the design and style. I've never had a garment custom made for me and honestly I had a hard time envisioning what the final product would look like throughout the process. At the last few fittings all the lace and embroidery were coming together and the dress was more fitted to my figure and I was speechless, absolutely floored at how amazing the dress she put together was. It was better than what I originally had in mind and, of course getting married to my husband was the best part of my wedding day, but also, it was the dress. I ended up wearing an off the rack dress as well and Desiree worked hard to make it actually fit me well. We changed the design of the sleeves, something that a seamstress my family has been going to for years told me was "impossible" because of the type of satin it was. Desiree pulled it off no problem and I was thrilled. I went from a crisis with no dress to two beautiful gowns custom made for me. Knowing what I know now, I would have travelled across the country for her to make my dress. It's a little scary to commit your wedding dress budget to something you can't technically see or try on yet, and actually you won't see the finished product for a while, but she's the absolute best. My only regret is that I don't have the budget for Desiree to custom make an outfit for every life event I will have in the future. Also in regards to the fake reviews here, Desiree has a designated room in her home to meet with clients, we all wore masks, it was great. read more

Make this the FIRST place to go to if your looking for a custom dress / veil etc. Desireé worked with my budget without pushing or judgement what so ever to make a custom veil for me. I am so thankful, serious! Thank you Desireé. The entire experience of you working with me on such a short notice ( within 24 hours ) and the time you spent to make sure it was exactly what I wanted gave me peace that I made the right decision. This is a business I'm so so happy to support. Please support businesses that work for the people like Desireé's especially during a time like this that's harder on small business ! So intentional and quality materials. I'm so happy I went this route. read more

Desiree Marie Design - My cute antique style dress !! - Bridal Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Perfect Job with difficult military uniforms. The post office lost my husbands uniforms for over a week and we needed to have the patches sewed on quickly and perfectly. Desiree did this for a very fair price and they looked better than they ever have. (This is saying a lot coming from someone with over 20 years in the military) We hope to hire Desiree for everything sewing and alteration related in the future! Thank you so much Desiree!! read more

Desiree Marie is such an incredibly talented dress maker. The dresses she creates out of thin air are nothing short of amazing! It's honestly hard to believe that she makes them with her own two hands...but she does! I think it's really important for a bride to feel like herself on her wedding day...and unlike anyone else, one of a kind. With Desiree Marie, YOU WILL GET EXACTLY THAT! All of her dresses are so exquisite and unique. You won't find anything like them anywhere else. So look no further for the perfect wedding dress maker! You've found her! read more

Everything Desi does is wonderful! She is talented and professional and hard working.

I don't know where to begin with how amazing I am with Desiree's skills. I am what everyone calls a "last minute bride" and I ordered my dress about 2 months before my wedding from a bridal boutique in California... I know that sounds crazy and I made sure to order a few sizes up so that I could get it altered. I inquired with Desiree in a panic to see if she could alter my dress in a short time span because I ordered almost 3 sizes bigger than I was supposed to order (don't ask, I don't now what I was thinking)... Desiree was very accommodating and looked at my dress and told me exactly what she needed to do to bring the dress down to fit me. I went to see Desiree for my first official fitting and then my final fitting a week later. On each fitting, she made sure to explain everything she has done to my dress as well as made sure I was happy with the work she has done. She has done wonders! My dress doesn't even look like it got touched and fits perfectly on me. I'm getting married in less than a month and Desiree helped relieve the stress of my last minute decision of getting a wedding dress of my dreams. I can't wait to wear my dress and share pictures with her to showcase her beautiful seams! I highly recommend getting your dress altered from Desiree. She's not only understanding with bride situations but I can tell how much passion she has for wedding dresses and the wedding industry. I could not be any happier with the outcome of her work. Inquire and see what she can do for you and I promise you will not regret it! I'm a happy bride thanks to Desiree!!!! read more

we inquired into some pricing for some work , was a reasonable quote, time to have done was 6 months out, unreasonable .we were wearing masks as this business run out of her home, her husband was demanding we remove the masks, we felt it unsafe as we were in their home and believe they do not follow protocol cor covid 19, then proceeded to curse at us and tell us to leave using the f bomb we are christian and were highly insulted , our deposit was kept 200 dollars , we had to contact our credit card to stop the payment, i cannot give a review that less than one star or i would read more

reasonable price, poor quality , works out of apartment, not a real business, strange arrangement for bridal business , covid friendly, would not recommend same elsewhere about 1/2 the price read more
