Sonia D'Ochoa

Sonia was amazing. Right from our very first meeting she was excited about the design I had designed, and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. She offered her advice to change my design slightly to better suit my body shape and to be more comfortable. Her quote was much cheaper the other 6 dressmakers we had also been to as she helped choose material that would fit into my budget without compromising on the quality of the design. She was very responsive, friendly and approachable, and always replied to emails and calls promptly. On the day of my wedding Sonia came to dress me at my wedding venue. She spent the morning steaming my gown to perfection. I was extraordinarily happy with our choice to go with Sonia and highly recommend her for your wedding gown or next formal event.

Sonia was such a pleasure to work with. I knew from my first meeting with her that I could trust her to make the perfect wedding dance dress (cocktails dress) and that she knew exactly what kind of style I was after. She was quick to pull out her note pad and make sketches of my ideas that perfectly matched the vision I had in my head (not an easy thing to do.) She was also really great at advising me on what materials would work best and things I needed to consider that I hadn’t thought of. It’s evident in Sonia’s work that she is really experienced, passionate, detail oriented and total perfectionist. Her prices are also really reasonable for the time and effort she puts into her work! I was actually pleasantly surprised at how fair she is compared to other dress makers. She is also just a a genuinely lovely person inside and out and I enjoyed all my dress fittings with her. Thank you Sonia from my beautiful second wedding dress. I received so many complements on the night! My only regret is that I didn’t meet you before and have you make me wedding dress! You are truly so talented and I hope I get the chance to come to you again for another special occasion.

Sonia was an absolute delight to work with to design my custom wedding dress. I was so happy with the end result and it was everything I had asked for- a unique, beautiful, comfortable, affordable and high quality wedding dress. She was very flexible and always worked around my busy work schedule for the fittings. She even made my my mums “mother of the bride” evening dress and my mum could not have been happier. Both of our dresses were completed on time, and Sonia even offered to dress me on my wedding day which was so lovely to have the creator of my dress there with me on my special day. Besides the quality of the dresses and Sonia’s hard work, she is just an overall beautiful and kind person and I am so grateful I got to meet her and chose her to create my special dress

Sonia made the wedding dress of my dreams!! She helped me pick out the best fabric and her design was better than I imagined in my head. She was a pleasure to work with for the entire process and I felt so great in my dress! It was a lot more comfortable than I expected it to be as well. Sonia put SO much work into my dress, with plenty of beading and sequins that needed hand sewing. I still get so many compliments on the dress and it really made my day special. I'm so glad I chose Sonia for a stunning custom piece, made so professionally.

I cannot speak highly enough of the welcoming service. Sonia made me feel so comfortable and made the most amazing wedding gown that fitted me perfectly. I received many flattering comments and could not be happier with the final result. Thank you Sonia.!
