It's taken awhile because of Covid but I finally took my disaster of a dress to very well respected tailor in Austin . Linda " hired " a lawyer. He wanted to see the dress and he asked that I deliver it to his office to see for himself why I was so angry about my experience little did I know that he was a personal friend of Lindas so once again I was silenced ! She actually made his wifes wedding dress so my attempt to get and unbiased opinion was void and nil so I took it into my own hands ! I wanted a full refund of the deposit I gave of $450.00 for the $700.00 dress ,anyone reading this for the first time and seeing the pictures would understand ! The tailor ( I will not say his name ) but he sews custom for very influential customers . I know him because he had made suits for my husband . He and his wife are honest to the core . The lawyer offered me $25.00 , I refused but it was an appropriate amount, that is all it was worth ! He mailed the dress back to me in a FedEx box and I left it there until 2 weeks ago ! My husband was considering a new suit so he went to have a consult ! I took the opportunity to go with him and show the owners wife the dress . I told her I was told that this was expensive french chiffon ! She shook her head and was in disbelief! She then told me I could have done better at Target ! Yes I trusted Linda .. but if you are a new client , beware ! read more

WOW! Where do I even begin to start? I had never had a custom ensemble made for me before and was looking for something particular but all I had were images of a dress to go on for inspiration.. When I first met Linda Asef I was greeted with a chic that was engaged and interested! I could tell immediately she was a true artist! This girl had style too!! After getting to know each other I showed her my inspiration photos and the magic started happening! She is so knowledgeable and really got my attention when she said "textiles are my drug of choice". I knew immediately this was the woman I wanted to make my gown, and man, did she?! The ENTIRE experience was absolutely amazing. She did sketches, showed me fabrics and even had one of her connects make the fabric for my skirt as a one of a kind.. hell, the entire ensemble was one of a kind! The beading for the top was so intricate and was hand made to specifically fit my body! I actually have the gown on a mannequin stand in my vanity room so I could see it every day and I ended up using it in my upcoming (then) wedding! Yes, it was that great! I designed my wedding around it! AND she had a jewelry artist design a piece for my hair TO COMPLIMENT THE DRESS!!!! It was so perfect and I can't go on enough about my experience! Thank you Linda for being the bad ass that you are and I can't wait to make something else special with you!!! read more

Linda is one of the most talented, innovative and thoughtful designers that I know. I appreciate both her creativity and attention to detail and I always get multiple compliments whenever I wear one of her designs. She's a local treasure and Austin is lucky to have her and her creations! read more

If I could give Linda 6 stars I would. She is really like a mind reader. I've never worked with someone who just instinctively knew what would work for me. She is sweet, intuitive, kind, really a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be a regular of Lina Asaf Design. I am so thankful for finding her. I really look forward to my next dress from her! Price wise- I don't see why you WOULDN'T go with her. Love Linda! read more

LInda designed the dress for my daughter - the bride, and also for me - the mother of the bride. You will not find a dress out there as awesome as the one you have designed just for you. The price is not bad - not any more than the nice wedding dresses out there. And really - there are NO pretty mother of the bride dresses out there. They are either ugly or all look the same. You can get a dress here for any occasion - more on the dressy end - but some casual - and seriously - the prices are in line with the nicer off the rack dresses. Linda is a real pleasure to work with - sweet and fun and she is a super designer with "best" design awards for 3 years running. I was so proud to be wearing a dress designed by Linda. There are samples to look at - and some are for sale - so you can feel comfortable going in and just browsing. Sometimes, she has cool jewelry for sale too. read more

Wow!! If you want to feel confident in what your wearing and how you look wear one of Linda's designs!! Excellent customer service and quality! Thank you for making my event very special!! read more

What a quaint little store/studio. BEAUTIFUL clothing & accessories. I fell in love the second I walked in. So comfy & clean, with gorgeous hardwood floors. I felt like I was in Princess' closet! Spotted a dress hanging within other one-of-a-kind peices, from across the room. Picked it up, it happen to be my size, and tried it on. PERFECT! Linda offered to add some "bling" to it once it was on. I'm going to be wearing the hottest dress at my event this week!!! Love it!!! read more

Ok brides-to-be - If you have not yet done the wedding dress shopping gig (I refused to subject myself, my friends, my family and the general public) let me give you some advice - skip the chain stores and head straight to Linda Asaf Designs on W. 6th St. I had a vision, sent some pics of ideas, she created a sketch, hit it out of the ball park with her own special Linda Asaf twist and OMG!!!!! I wish I could show everyone the sketch but then Ron would see it! She and her team are absolutely amazing. Do yourself a favor, skip the hassle of shopping for the "perfect dress" and let her create it for you. You will have a one-of-a-kind made just for you and feel and look like a queen! She's won Best Women's Clothing Designer, Best Bridal Designer, and Best Fashion Designer. Check her out! read more

If you're looking for a wedding dress I strongly encourage you to consider Linda Asaf. The experience of having my wedding dress made was amazing, and my dress turned out beautiful for my wedding day. I am a size 10/12 and found trying on dresses at the bridal shops really frustrating. Shoving yourself into dresses that don't fit in tiny dressing rooms is not fun. Sitting in Linda's studio draping yourself with beautiful fabric, drinking sparkling water, and watching her and her super enthusiactic interns sketch for you is LOTS OF FUN! I also feel like her pricing is very reasonable, so don't automatically assume that this route would be too expensive for you. The process of making these dresses is scrap book worthy, so if you're in to that be sure to take a camera along to catch all of the various phases. It was amazing! Thank you, Linda! read more

I wanted a very special dress for my daughter's wedding. Never having worked with a couture designer before, I didn't know what to expect but Linda guided me through the process with suggestions showing me that she totally understood what I was trying to achieve. I found her to be extremely easy to talk to and work with. The result has been a gorgeous unique dress and I could not be happier with both the dress and the process. I would recommend fabulous Linda's work to anyone! read more

I don't even know where to start with my praise for Linda. Not only did she create the wedding dress of my dreams but the entire process of working with her was wonderful. She has such a sense of style and understanding the concept of the client that my vision of what I had was mine but elevated to couture fashion. Her craftsmanship is impeccable and her attention to detail boarders on obsessive. I had a bit of an emergency with my veil and hair piece and she not only had a piece made for me in two days but went above and beyond and made it a masterpiece. Vera Wang doesn't have anything on Linda :) read more

Linda is great, she's patient and very sweet. She made my wedding dress. I did not really know what I wanted and she made a beautiful dress that accentuated my features and won me tons of praise. I love all the detail she gave to it. She was such a joy to work with that I remember wanting to invite her to the wedding. Now on the other side of my wedding, I'm trying to figure out something to do with my dress, it's not a conventional white dress. She offered to transition it from a one piece to a two pice with which I could dress up or down and be able to still use. Finally, she was able to make a dress with in my budget, which, of course was vital. I would definitely recommend her. read more

Cut to the chase ladies, if you want to feel like the princess you are on your wedding day, Linda is your woman. Very easy to work with, fun and accommodating ideas. I told her what I was looking for and she hit the nail on the head. I feel in love with and was inspired by another of her creations and she added some elements that were so fitting that I didn't even think of. Also I was really sold on having the most expensive lace on the market, on my dress (though on a budget, I have expensive taste I guess) and she found a way to make it happen! No other way to say it, if you're looking for a 'one of a kind' dress check Linda out. It must say something if she keeps being voted in Austin magazines 'best of' but still affordable! The best of both worlds! I'd send you photos but I bet she'll show you more easily. read more

Linda made my wedding dress last year, and I loved working with her from beginning to end. After an early conversation about what I had in mind, she took my vague ideas and created amazing, inventive design concepts. I knew having a dress made would require a leap of faith, since the actual dress wouldn't exist until late in the process, and Linda had me at ease throughout. She's professional and personable, and I'll always be grateful for the care she put into my dress. The design was inspired, the materials were gorgeous, it was beautifully made, and wearing it on my wedding day was a dream. read more

Linda was very sweet, talented, and professional, and I would recommend working with her. At the last moment, I ended up purchasing a ready-made dress, but I can comment on working with her through the sketch stage. Her website said dresses were $3-$10k, but from my initial complimentary consultation with her, I learned most dresses are $3-5k. My budget was actually $3k, and she confirmed she could work in that budget. I created a pinterest board for her with images of features of dresses I liked, and she sent me several laces option from new york and paris. I paid $100 for a sketch (which, should I have decided to move forward, would have been applied toward the price of the dress). I loved her sketch, and Linda was nice enough to create more versions with tweaks as I described them. The dress would have taken about 3 months to be made. At the last moment, I happened to find a ready-made dress in a store that was pretty close to what I was looking for and less expensive, so I went with it, but I still wonder if that was the right decision over working with Linda and her gorgeous designs. This is a great option for someone who wants a unique, original design, and I'd recommend reaching out to Linda to discuss the option of a custom wedding dress. read more
