"Melanie, what can I say, I feel a little sad I don’t get to come for my fittings any more! You made the whole process of buying a wedding dress more than the dress itself. I loved my fittings with you. You really understood my body shape and always adjusting things even up until the last minute if I wasn’t happy with something, nothing was too much to ask. The dress was perfect, all that I had wanted, you created the most amazing piece from a vision in my head. After trawling through shop after shop and feeling unhappy with everything you just plucked it straight from my mind and made it real. I am so grateful, the dress was stunning, so comfortable and I felt exactly as I’d hoped on the day itself! Thank you also so much for the stunning veil which was out of this world, and the trouble you went to creating the extra length veil so close to the day was amazing. You were always calm, professional and super friendly I felt completely at ease with you. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any bride! THANK YOU!"

"A huge huge huge thank you for everything that you have done and for all of your hard work (and Anna-karin as well of course!). The dress was simply stunning and there are no other words to describe it. I just loved it and felt like a princess all day (and night!), and the best thing was that I felt so comfortable all day and I could have slept it in (and almost did after quite a few champagnes!!!!) Everybody absolutely loved it and they all said what a beautiful dress it was, and that it was so different from the usual wedding dress style. So all in all I think we can declare it a huge success and all down to you guys so thank you, it was perfect"

"Melanie's beautiful designs are inspired classics and I instantly knew I wanted to wear one of her creations. Her gifted eye, technical expertise and years of experience made what could be an overwehlming process into a truly enjoyable one. She saw through every last detail of preparing the dress and made it as special as the day on which it was worn. On a day when hundreds of photographs were taken, the dress looked perfect in every one!"

"I need to say a huge thank you for my dress. I felt so comfortable and natural all day. So many people said how much the dress suited everything about me and our wedding - which is why I came to you in the first place - it really is the perfect dress for me! Thank you so much for your hard work. I loved every bit of the process from when I first saw the dress right up until I took it home."

"I just wanted to thank you for designing and making me a wedding dress which made me feel like a million dollars on the most important day of my life. The dress and the veil together looked quite breath taking and I refused to remove the veil ...I absolutely loved all my visits to you and you made the whole process not only fun but extremely calming and reassuring and I wish to thank you for that." - Photos by Keith Appleby

"Melanie Potro delivered a truly professional and friendly service; working with her on my dress was easy as Melanie listened to what I wanted and was always very happy to accomodate. The dress she made for me was absolutley stunning and fitted like a glove. On my wedding day people commented time and again that my dress was amazing and elegant and they loved the lace as it was so pretty. We added the bolero on top made in the same lace which added the elegant feel to the dress and really complemented it well. I would not hesitate in referring all my friends to work with Melanie Potro as my dress was so perfect and I could not have asked for a better service as well."

"The wedding was meant to be a quiet registry office affair but mainly due to the dress it expanded into the real thing! The dress received a lot of compliments on the day and I can honestly say I could not have been happier with the end result.. Most importantly Melanie creates a sense of calm, is clearly concerned about the customer as an individual and takes great pride in the dresses she produces"

"In meinem Kleid habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt, und alle meinten, es würde genau zu mir passen. Bezueglich deines Services kann ich nur sagen, der war hervorragend! Es hat immer Spass gemacht zu Dir zu kommen! Es war ungewohnt, nach der Hochzeit nicht mehr samstags vorbeizuschauen! Ich habe Dich an alle unverheirateten Gaeste weiterempfohlen, und alle Gaeste waren begeistert von dem Kleid."

"How wonderful to find a designer who not only makes beautiful clothes but is also able to put her clients totally at ease. I had very specific ideas about my wedding dress and Melanie was both sensitive to my wishes and creatively inspiring. The finished outfit was stunning and unique, and exceeded all expectations. The wedding may be over now but the dress lives on, a special reminder of an amazing day."

"We have recently returned from our honeymoon and I'm very pleased to say that our wedding was fantastic and I was so pleased with my dress. Colin absolutely loved it and I felt really special on the day (not at all 6 months pregnant!) It was really comfortable and I had so many compliments about it, so thank you so so much, you did an absolutely terrific job in a very short period of time! Furthermore I will miss our dress fittings as you made the whole process so enjoyable."

"This dress fulfilled all my criteria and more. It was light and flattering, as well as of beautiful quality, I was not surprised to get compliments as it allowed me so much movement I could circulate the room to show it off. It was a key ingredient in my perfect day"

"From the minute I met Melanie I felt totally at ease, and confident that I'd made the right choice of both designer and dress. Throughout the process she reassured me with regard to any concerns I had, provided honest and useful feedback, and took extra care to ensure that the dress was absolutely perfect for me. She also referred me to a superior makeup artist and photographer - with such a team behind me, it's no wonder my wedding day was such a spectacular success! Thank you!"

"I knew straight after meeting Melanie that I wanted her to make my dress. She understood exactly what I wanted and managed to take my original design and colour and improve on it. I absolutely love my dress and got fantastic comments on the day. It fits me perfectly and the best part is that I can wear it again as it is not a typical wedding dress colour. Thank you Melanie, the dress is perfect!"
