I am 55 and will be mother of the groom in a few week. I had purchased 5 other dresses and returned them all, as I felt they were either 'too young' or 'too matronly'. I spent a Sunday morning at Ever Elegant, and Marie was so helpful - even providing a strand of pearls to show me how the whole outfit would look. I found my perfect dress and will happily recommend the shop to my friends in the future.

Approximate cost: $600

Had my first haircut and colour by Danni and I'm so very pleased with the result! Thanks so much for your advice and suggestions. Your care and attention to getting the colour just right was greatly appreciated. This was a much needed boost to my self-esteem. I will definitely be back.
