    The front door, but in this pic it's open because I was going through the door

    Misia and Sue ARE LITERALLY LIFE SAVERS!!! It was the night before my wedding and as I was steaming my dress, I found a little bit of a loose thread/rip in the front of my dress and they were about to close but were SO sweet and told me to come on by. LITERALLY ANGELS!! And when I say they saved me, I mean, they SAVED ME!! Cause I needed to be at city hall by 8am the next morning. Then Sue found that other pieces in the front (similar to what had broken) that literally were also needing to be re-enforced or else it would happen all over again. Also, my veil was completely wrinkled from my flight over here and they also took care of that for me as well! While I waited, I learned about their hand detailing and process. Misia went into detail about the care they take with EACH dress and I just couldn't believe how meticulous they can be! The place can be a little hard to find but they're nestled between Frascati and Luxe Places International Realty.

    I loved working with Suzanne to design a custom dress for my wedding! I wanted a very old-school lace wedding dress and I wanted a dramatic headpiece/veil - after realizing it would be hard to find what I wanted off-the-shelf, I was so happy to find someone as talented as Suzanne to bring this idea to life! Suzanne is an extremely talented dressmaker and designer, someone so creative and well-versed in so many styles of fashion. I have no background in clothing/fashion and relied heavily on Suzanne to design my dress, and she did a super job at taking my vague ideas and turning them into an actual dress! Suzanne is very flexible and provides you with options during the design process, but she also shares her own opinions and advice, which I really valued. Ultimately, I felt like she had great taste (the most important thing of all!) as well as an ability to really execute. She works with your budget and will let you know how to get the most bang for your buck. I'd highly recommend working with Suzanne!

    Finding Suzanne was an absolute dream come true! I was on a search for the most fabulous wedding dress ever but most places were quoting a 5-6 month leadtime...& I didn't have the luxury of time & especially not for an off the rack, mass-produced, *premade* dress. Initially reading Atelier des Modistes also preferred 5-6 months, I lucked onto a Yelp review mentioning an exception that was made for shorter timeframe, so I thought why not at least ask....best move I ever made! Suzanne & I immediately hit it off. She had incredible concepts & an end vision - which was extremely helpful for someone like me, who has NO ability to be creative or visualize! I loved her ideas & the thought of having a custom, one-of-a-kind, couture gown, made especially to fit me & my personality, was a no-brainer High-end silks & lace were paired w/ vintage sequins & glass beads, for the perfect classic-with-pinache effect we were seeking. The fitting appts were incredibly fun & people walking by her shop would literally stop at the door & knock on the window to get our attention & tell us how awesome my dress looked ( which it did! ) - it was so surreal! One person even asked Suzanne if my dress was for the SF Ballet b/c it looked just like a Fairy Princess' dress. But it was ME who was the princess! And we didn't just stop at the wedding dress - Suzanne made the most rocking, phenomenal, reception dress as well - did someone say peacock & vintage ostrich feathers?! She does not only do wedding dresses! In the shop, you'll also find pieces from local jewelers who have made, or will create, perfect compliments to the look you're going for...& Suzanne worked w/ one of her designers to create earrings specifically for each of my dresses I'm a one-of-a-kind girl & these were one-of-a-kind looks that definitely made me the star of the evening. No exaggeration - our wedding party literally lost count of all the comments & compliments we received from strangers who were passing us by, but *had* to stop & tell us how exquisite / extraordinary my dresses were...& that was not even all the comments we just overheard from the crowds I completely felt like a fairy princess that evening & these are both dresses I look forward to wearing again & again! ...and Suzanne & I are already planning my next cocktail / fun-function gown...can't wait!

    The most gorgeous lace - natural waist - fit me perfectly!

    Do you want to feel like a princess for your special occasion? Do you want to work with a genius who is able to craft something unique that is so-perfectly-you, yet so much more elegant than you ever dreamed of being? Look no further - Suzanne Hanley at Atelier Des Modistes is the lady for you! I came to Suzanne with a picture of a dress on Halle Berry - and said "I'd like this dress". Suzanne told me that she's not a dress-maker, she's a designer - I'm so glad she did - because it turns out that I'm not Halle Berry - and that dress would've looked awful on me.. but Suzanne was able to take elements of the dress (the boldness of the big beautiful color, the lace + chiffon mixture, etc.) and then design something so much more elegant, and so much more appropriate for who I am (and what I wanted to look like on my special day). I've attached a few pictures from the day to highlight the beautiful piece that Suzanne and her team crafted for me. I received so many compliments - but none of that mattered because I loved my dress so much! I absolutely can't wait to wear it again :) Even though the price tag was a bit steep for me, I can't recommend Suzanne highly enough. She is a truly gifted and warm person and the end result of a dress in addition to getting to know her is worth twice every penny you put in!

    Happiness is...

    I'm that bride. The one that bought two dresses before I realized I needed someone to design something special just for me before I'd be happy. Upon my first meeting with Sue, I fell in love. This woman's skills are off the charts and that came through in our very first conversation on the phone. Having studied fashion in college, Sue was just the partner I needed to make my dream dress a reality. She made the process so enjoyable--she even humored me when I would pretend to know a little about garment construction from a basic sewing class I took in school ;) What Sue brings to the table that others don't is not just a keen eye for design, but an immense understanding of the female form and the role that plays in creating the perfect garment. The result? My dress felt like my second skin. Finally a dress that looked and felt like ME! I never would have had that without Sue and the incredible staff at Atelier Des Modistes, and for that, I am eternally grateful. THANK YOU!!!

    Suzanne helped me design my dream wedding dress(es) and I felt like a princess on my wedding day!! I say dresses, because I wanted a ballgown with a veil and a train, and I also wanted a slimmer dress for the reception, and Suzanne made me a dress that gave me all 3 looks! We started with the Celeste (with a beautiful gold lace top) and she designed an intricate system to attach the ballgown, then the train, and a bow around the waist that could all be removed for the reception. She carefully crafted the dress with nuanced layered shades of champagne, blush and ivory in the ballgown to look stunning against the red rocks of Sedona. Suzanne helped me design my entire outfit - I ended up purchasing gold wedges, a necklace, a matching veil, and hair accessories from her, too. And she gave me recommendations for my bouquet as well. It was a pleasure working with Suzanne - she is so warm, has an amazing eye, an impressive attention to detail, tons of expertise, and she cares deeply about her work. I loved hearing about where the lace, the ribbon came from. I will miss my wedding dress appointments with Suzanne, but will go back to her next time I need a ballgown!

    Suzanne has the most beautiful collection of gowns to pick and choose from or design your own from the bottom up. The dress she made for me was an absolute smash at our wedding - I had friends raving for days! - and the materials she uses are only the lightest, best, most comfortable silks and lace. Would 100% recommend for any bride, or someone looking to make the dress of their dreams

    Sue is an amazing dress designer, not to mention a warm and wonderful person in general. Not only did she execute exactly what I'd hoped for, she has such a deep understanding of what looks best for your body type and how to hide any imperfections...she lifted the areas that mattered and smoothed others. The process was incredibly detailed and something I looked forward to each week. My dress was truly one of a kind, and worth every penny spent. This was best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process, thank you Sue!.

    I went here with my now-husband to get his suit for our destination wedding (this past Sept). We…read morehave never had a custom suit made in the U.S. before, and have only gone through the experience once ever for that matter, so we really didn't know what we were doing lol. He had some ideas in mind and so I started the search online. Only a few stores got back to me, and fewer still were able to do what we were looking for, and Knot Standard was one of them. There was a small hiccup in our initial experience - when trying to book online, the confirmed appointment time didn't match what was actually requested (tried more than once and it was always off by an hour). In the end, it was easy enough to email the consultant (Maggie) to fix the issue. We met with Maggie a few times over a few months. The initial meeting was getting an idea of what Knot Standard offers, prices, timelines, etc. Throughout the meeting, we felt informed but didn't feel overwhelmed (for the most part) nor pressured to continue the process if it turned out not to be what we needed. The following meetings were consultations + advice, measurements, fittings, and any adjustments. Maggie is very experienced and was able to answer our million questions! In the end, he chose a blue-ish purple fabric (from Italy IIRC) for a 3-piece tux. We were even able to bring a piece of home with us to our destination wedding via a hidden embroidery of our cats on his inner pocket. He also bought some custom-fitted dress shirts. Pickup was a breeze and included a couple garment bags and a pocket kerchief.

    Very surprised at how well the suits fit my husband. Living in Reno, there is nowhere to shop for…read moresuits and because of the shape of my husband (arched back, wider hips) everything he wears for work needs to be tailored with the hopes that the tailor is not only good but current in style. After returning to the office and needing a complete wardrobe refresher, I found Knot Standard during tailored made suit searches. I'm making an appointment was very easy to do online. Maggie was our sales rep and she moved at lightening speed making recommendation of patterns, styles, and textiles. After just a quick 45 minutes, we purchased 3 suits, 2 jackets, and 2 dress shirts. The total was roughly $14k for all of this. Unfortunately one of the suit fabric was out of stock but a close substitute was made. About 6 weeks later, I followed up on the arrival of the clothing and scheduled an appointment for the fitting. During the fitting, my husband and I were shocked that everything fit him perfectly without needing any adjustments. He said the clothes fit him so well, they felt like they were clipped on him like a Lego piece. He was so happy with the look and fit of the clothing, he purchased another suit. Additional Comment-The unfortunate part of my experience is you must be the one to follow up with your suit's arrival. Your sales rep-at least in my experiences-never was the one to call or email me saying the orders where in. Every time, I have had to email the sales rep and when she didn't respond, email the company and they have never responded. So, if you want your orders, it is all up to you to follow up.

Beyond that, he was always ready to answer questions, offer advice, and make the process smooth and enjoyable. Clint, you did an amazing job!
