These are priceless opportunities when making a custom design dress. Some of the special touches during fittings, video chatting with Mom and Grandmom during her fitting. Hand embroidering the names of her Usilla (Great Grandmother), Lois (Grandmother). Dawm (Mother), onto the left side of the gown train, which is the side with the heart.
