Coming from a life of running around my mothers Bridal Salon
to watching her now design, re-design and create couture for
Anne Gregory in Pittsburgh PA, I sit and watch the clients
come in for their first go ahead in the Salon. As their eyes
light up from the silks, satins, the beading and intricate
lace, it seems that they are in a fantasy princess world.
They enjoy the attention, the passion of the Salon owners
and then my mother whom is a perfectionist at fitting. I
feel that having a service online is not going to be precise
in measurements. As I know that designers re-fit their gowns
how they see fit for the body, not every customers bodies
fit "the image of a designer" Most clients come back for up
to 3 times as most brides loose weight during there duration
to the alter. It's just a consideration I would make with
choosing this online service rather than heading to a
private Salon for a one-on-one consultation. If Net-A-Porter
had a fitting location in each city to have precise
measurements and samples of gowns then it may work. However
I foresee many alterations taking place in the near future
or even many dresses getting re-cut or scrapped. In my
opinion....
