I would like to say thank you to both Rebecca and Kathleen so much for your kindness, hard work, and attention to detail in altering my wedding dress! It turned out so beautifully. Initially, I bought my wedding dress which needed to be altered. My auntie contacted Rebecca and Kathleen and I went along for my consultation and the fairytale continued from there, nothing was a problem. Rebecca listened and created my dream dress with such attention to detail. I could not have dreamed of a nicer dress. Nothing was an issue and my dress turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend C & M if you need a seamstress.
I came to Rebecca and Cathleen 4 weeks before my wedding in trouble- my wedding dress top had been badly altered by another seamstress. With so little time and right in the middle of communion/confirmation season, Rebecca and Cathleen made me a stunning top from scratch that fit me perfectly and made me feel beautiful. The bodice was covered in lace which had to be hand-sewn on; every detail was perfect, it was comfortable all day and the quality is exceptional. They are professional to the last and have a critical eye for their work, but on top of all are really lovely people to deal with. I can't thank you both enough and can't wait to wear the top again!
I didn't actually visit, I'm well past the marrying age seemingly, but I use that house as a very important landmark to get to an occasional job in westmeath. What I love is the second sign, saying "you've missed us !" Very clever!! Great marketing, I hope they are always successful, there's always going to be a bride somewhere !! 😁😁😁
