Lizbeth has been in business for 30 years. She must be doing something right. Yes she does run her shop out of her basement. All her appointments are private so you will get the attention you deserve. I looked at five other places for a dress and was either directed to something that I didn't want, they didn't have what I wanted, or treated with unpleasant customer service. Meeting Lizbeth was a breath of fresh air. She responded to my calls and was available for when I wanted to visit the shop. She spent time with me helping me find my prefect dress. Her shop is not for those who base their decisions on looks. It's for those who are willing to believe in a business that has been around for many years. Why does it matter where you find your perfect dress? As long as you find it and at an affordable price!
