Rebirth No.5

6 months ago I picked up my wedding dress that I had purchased through another boutique and realized I didn’t love it. It was missing something for my winter wedding. Penny came recommended by a friend and after looking at her designs I knew I’d found the right person to complete my dress. The custom sleeves Penny designed were beautiful, comfortable and the final touch in making my dress perfect. The process was so easy, the attention to detail was amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the final result!

Penny was an absolute GEM to work with. I made her job particularly hard and was difficult to work with because I kept changing her designs when my body kept changing shape with pregnancy! Penny's professionalism to acknowledge a pregnant woman's needs and ensure I was comfortable is amazing - she completely altered her initial design to accommodate my ever changing shape in the lead up to the wedding day. I felt amazing and Penny delivered a great result for me. I'm really excited to come back to Penny soon to arrange a re-design of my dress so I can use it again in future for gala events! She is brilliant at what she does and I'm thoroughly impressed that she didn't push for her own design but wanted to make sure I was comfortable. Thank you for working with a pregnant bride and making me feel amazing!

Penny made my wedding dress for my elopement in Bali. I was super happy with the experience and result. Penny herself is lovely and clearly has great skill, passion and communication. I love that she moved from the fast fashion industry to become a female business over who is thriving. She made the experience stress free, easy and enjoyable. As soon as I finished the appointment I didn't want to go to anyone else. loved her modular try-on system to work out what I wanted without effort or having to 'imagine' anything. As my dress was from the elopement range (a little more simple) she managed to get it done in less than 2 months which was amazing. The dress itself was really cute and literally everyone commented on how stylish, unique and 'me' it was. It also allowed me to hike for >40mins and negotiate slippery rocks and stand under a misty waterfall comfortably and without any creasing. 100% recommend, thanks Penny 🙂

Penny is amazing and incredibly talented. She made the process easy, kept me informed of her progress along the way and gave great advice/input to help create the dress I wanted. She is absolutley lovely, placed no pressure and made me feel comfortable. I couldn't have been happier and I highly, highly recommend her.

From the very start, Penny made the experience of designing my dream dress so incredibly easy, fun and exciting! Penny listened to all of my ideas but I was also so grateful for all of her suggestions when I felt indecisive. Communication was always so quick and easy and Penny made me feel so great with her enthusiasm! I am so grateful for all the extra effort Penny went to from putting together the sample materials so beautifully to stickers of my name being on all the packaging! I'll treasure so many special moments from this process, and I feel so lucky to have had Penny to make my dress! I couldn't recommend ARA Experience more highly!
