Teddie made my wedding gown come to life! She added a belt for me , petticoat and a princess bustle so I could dance the night away !!! If you’re on the fence don’t be! My only regret is not having her make the dress from scratch

I loved working with teddie. It was a good couple months waiting and coming in to make sure everything went smoothly with my reception dress for my wedding. She did exceptional and the custom price was pretty good (especially since dresses like the one she made would be worth more in retail). The dress waa amazing and she knows what she is doing. Thanks for making everything so amazing! 🧡

I have been working with Rosemary for nearly 10 months and have enjoyed our journey together. I currently own a small boutique women's clothing line and everything I create/imagine, Rosemary has been able to bring to life. I can tell her/show her my ideas of oversized high waisted pants, bring her the fabric of exactly what I want and she executes it perfectly! I love that I can have full trust in her work and she always provides the garments exactly how I want them. Throughout our journey she has sewn fringed skirts, polka dot suits, jumpsuits, dresses and recently dusters for my line. I never have to worry about missed deadlines with Rosemary. She sometimes expedites my requests early do to quick turnaround times with important clients. I truly love our working relationship and look forward to creating many more looks with her. AMAZING service indeed!

I got a skirt tailored by Rosemary and she exceeded my expectations. She made me feel comfortable and welcomed as soon as I came through the door. Her price was beyond affordable and she did an amazing job. She communicates the job well and is very accommodating. Anything else I need done in the future, she’s definitely who I will be contacting. Thanks again!

I cannot begin to express how much I regret hiring Rosemary for my wedding. While the dress was absolutely STUNNING, her behavior at my intimate micro-ceremony was devastating. She was never supposed to stay for the ceremony—she had only said she would help dress me, and I told her that my wedding planner would take care of everything from there. She did not ask for permission to stay, nor did I give it. I had no idea she would remain and act as if she were a guest. This was a small ceremony with a fixed guest count, and because she stayed, I had to pay extra for her presence, which caused me unnecessary stress. Worse still, she completely disrupted what should have been peaceful moments before my ceremony, loudly watching TikTok and taking calls from potential clients while I was trying to relax and focus. This was especially hard for me because my mother passed away from breast cancer when I was a teenager, and I am also a breast cancer survivor. Getting married during Breast Cancer Awareness Month carried deep meaning for me. I shared my story with Rosemary thinking we had a connection because she had lost her mother as well, but she used my vulnerability to her advantage. The most heartbreaking part was when she filmed my private ceremony. I had specifically allowed her to take photos of my dress for social media, with the condition that she didn’t tag me because I’m a very private person. I am not a social media person, and I made that very clear from our first meeting. That was our compromise. I never gave her permission to post any content from the ceremony itself. Despite this, she posted a video of one of the most intimate moments: my husband crying as he watched me walk down the aisle. When I confronted her, she refused to apologize. Instead, she kept making excuses, saying she wasn’t aware the ceremony was unplugged and that she saw other people with phones. Extreme lack of accountability. However, none of my guests filmed me walking down the aisle, something I was very clear about because that moment was deeply personal to me. The reason she didn’t know how important that was is simple—she wasn’t a guest and wasn’t supposed to be there. If she had been a guest, she would have understood the significance of that moment and why it was meant to be private. But she took it upon herself to film it, justifying it by saying she didn’t tag me. She did agree to take the video down, but I don’t understand why she was even there to get the footage. Her refusal to apologize, her excuses, and her complete lack of respect for the boundaries I set have left me heartbroken. Because of her interference, my husband and I are planning a separate photo shoot in my dress because the photos from our actual wedding day were so disrupted by her actions. Instead of cherished memories, I’m left with frustration and regret. If you’re looking for someone who respects your privacy and the sanctity of your wedding day, I strongly urge you to find someone else. This individual only cares about promoting their business and social media content. They do not care about the precious details of your wedding day that make it special.Her selfishness and lack of professionalism ruined moments I will never get back.

Teddies Afrique LLC's reply

I'm glad I made a STUNNING dress for you within a very short time. I'm glad I offered you free services to dress you up for your wedding of which you obviously didn’t appreciate my time and effort. I'm glad I was able to calm you down when your friend ruined your hair and you were upset. I'm glad I was able to hold hands and prayed with you, asking God to make your wedding a success and it was indeed successful. At the end, you hugged and thanked me for coming to dress you up. Everything you said here is an after thought and you have contradicted yourself in so many places. Same as your friend's review. I took down my post immediately when you asked me to and I explained to you that I wasn't aware that you didn't want anyone videoing you. At the end I apologized and I have my prove. But you stated here that I didn't apologize. I already sent a lengthy reply, but you have updated your review by removing some comments you made. I have screen shoots of your previous review calling me selfish and more. You invited your friends to post false reviews stating I wasn't the one who made your dress. I want you to know that these false reviews had caused me alot. I wish you the best of luck. Congratulations once again. Stay blessed.
