I really don’t know where to begin. Toja did me the honor of designing my wedding gown. As a male gendered bride-Gride I have lived my life concerned about what I would wear on my big day. A gown, a tuxedo, a hybrid of sorts, what? Toja eased all of this. We went to a bridal salon to gauge my comfortability in a gown and also to see what styles and fabrics gave me that spark. Nusha (Toja) took notes, photos, and made sure to be alert and attentive to the things I really liked. Once we had an idea of what I liked and the direction I wanted to go, she began sketching up my design. we toggle with a few different ideas until we came to an agreement on design! Nothing was off the table and she understood I was all about the drama. From there, Nusha went on her search for fabrics. I was sent fabrics to review online as well as fabrics she came across on her travels to Italy! I know!!! I can’t make this up. Nusha was professional, kind, attentive, dedicated, and generous. Nusha was extremely communicative which made the process smooth and with ease. This was extremely important and made for a wonderful experience. I didn’t need an update because Toja was timely and made sure to keep me involved every step of the way. We had several viewings and fittings. This allowed for me to make tweaks and fine tune anything that I wanted. This helped endure that I appeared how I wanted on my day. In times I wanted to add to the design, Nusha did so without inserting her own opinion. I know that may be scary as well. What if you don’t like the change? Well Toja added these things but in doing so it was also easy to remove should I not like it and…. It did not disrupt the original look! I personally recommend her expertise and experience to everyone. Several at my wedding assumed that I picked my gown up off the rack. Several of my family and friends are looking forward to working with her for special events of their own. There are some things I’d do over for my wedding but the one thing that would certainly remain the same is my designer. She was perfection and created perfection. From quality of fabrics, to cut, to style, to design and seams. I think I have gushed enough of the great Nusha Toja lol. I am a paying customer and it was the best money spent. For anyone looking to work with her you won’t be disappointed. If you are unsure, check out her social media pages. She also shows her work in fashion shows around the city. She invited me to a couple and I quite enjoyed them. It really showed me her versatility and it was nice to see the clothes in action. Shaun Johnson @itae_bae

I reached out to Nusha because I am struggling to find a wedding dress I love in stores. Nusha was incredibly responsive and went back and forth with me on ideas for my perfect gown. Unfortunately, my mother isn’t quite as ready as I am to make the plunge into a custom gown, so we haven’t booked. Nusha was understanding of my predicament and recommended we hold off our appointment until we are ready to be fully invested in the process. Nusha came off very passionate about wedding dresses, I would love to work with her and recommend chatting with her if you’re debating a custom gown!

Life saver ~ reasonable rush fees and finished DAYS before my already shorter time frame due to original dress delivery. She did mine and my daughter’s dress! Very professional and offers much more, excited to take some of her classes. 10 outta 10 recommend 🩵

Toja is fantastic! I had a few pairs of pants that needed a variety of alterations and some shorts that needed a lot of help. She made everything fit like a dream!! This is my first time getting non formal clothes altered and I'm so glad I did it with some of my favorite pieces! Highly recommend!
