The first time I met Francesca I found in front of me a shy girl who had not yet found the dress of her dreams but it was there in her head! Following all the details that she gradually listed for me, I started to give life to her ideas by designing what in the end became the perfect dress!

Francesca chose to wear a soft chiffon skirt and high waist belt, a tulle bodice with lace and fluttering sleeves, and a very long veil.

Its very particular lace was made by a local embroiderer. When they delivered it to me I knew I was holding a small handcrafted jewel; that embroidery was in fact designed following all the measures of my bride. I still remember the perfume of the fabric! I studied an idea that best suited his dress, and guess what? My creativity and the result won and in the pictures: Francesca's lace was in fact cut and applied on the bodice as I liked!

The last week the one before the wedding, I allowed my bride to follow all the various transformations of her dress, I wanted the final result to be what she wanted.

When Francesca married Stefano she was charming, radiant and very refined! At the end of the day, he also confessed to me that the gown I sewn for her was the wedding dress she wanted to wear.

Dear Francesca, I'm so glad to have sewn for you!
