I came to Reene on a friend's glowing recommendation. All I needed was a bustle. She claimed to not be able to have all the layers gather, and suggested CUTTING the satin under layer so it wouldn't have to be bustled. (My dress was chiffon over satin from David's Bridal, nothing too poofy). I stood firm that we would not be cutting my dress. We opted for a double bustle. She drew a picture of the bustle ties for my mom, which I never saw. During the wedding cocktail hour, my maid of honor was with me trying for the life of her to find all the ties and simply couldn't. The under satin part was done but the top layer we could only find the center pull and tie. We gave up and my dress dragged on the floor all night and I kept stepping on it.

Even after I had the dress off and saw the drawing I could not locate the ties. I had my dress preserved with Enchanted Bridal in Chatsworth, who examined the dress and confirmed there were no 5th and 6th ties!!! Reene didn't finish my dress!! She also didn't anchor down a loose bead that she marked with a pin!! I don't know what's going on in that garage of hers.
