The wedding dress I had my heart set on was a designer runway gown made of flowy French chiffon and ornate Swarovski crystals - and costs thousands of dollars.

I'm so thrilled to have found Laila Monroe! I sent them photos detailing my dress requests and they quickly sent me a quote to make it from scratch, completely made to my measurements at a fraction of the cost of the designer's price. Timing takes a few months but they will work with you on your needs. Once the dress is made, their Chinese dress maker sends photos to the salon for their quality control and the folks at Laila Monroe will work hard to ensure the dress is of the quality and integrity you would expect. Only after you approve the photos of your created dress will they ask for the balance of payment and your dress ships to you any where in the world at no additional cost to you (import duties if applicable extra).

For my dress, I requested the train be shortened and the color be made in a different variation of French chiffon than the original designer offered. I also opted to have a mix of Swarovski and non-Swarovski crystals to cut down on the price. My dress was well worth the price for the incredible quality, craftsmanship and customer service I received from start to finish. As a bridal boutique playing the quality assurance middle man with a preferred dressmaker in Asia, Laila Monroe is a unique offering in the bridal gown world that I hope other brides choose too!
