Review Spotlight: "My mother had never looked at dresses online or in magazines before. She walked in without any idea of what she wanted or what to expect. Yvette pulled a few dresses after asking her a few questions and the first dress was PERFECT. I recommend the shop to everyone." - Toni J., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

Dream Dresses by P.M.N.
If you want a custom-made mother-of-the-bride dress, try Dream Dresses by P.M.N.

Today, she offers a selection of gowns and designs one-of-a-kind custom dresses for both brides and their mothers. Custom dresses typically start at $2,500. You'll work closely with Phuong to create a design together (having pictures of styles you like helps). Once it's sketched out and approved, you'll take measurements and get an estimate on price and production time, which can take anywhere from several weeks to months.
Review Spotlight: "The communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. P.M.N. was not only prompt in responding to my inquiries but also went above and beyond to ensure that I was kept in the loop at every stage of the creation process. This level of transparency and clear communication instantly put me at ease, allowing me to fully trust P.M.N.'s creative vision." - Queen S., The Knot Vendor Marketplace
