I found Teresa when I was looking for a secondhand wedding dress while I was studying in Lisbon, and she was really lovely. I went to the shop with three friends, it was really nice there, and I actually found my dress. I had a few more appointments afterwards for the cutting of the dress and to match everything, and the whole experience was really nice. It was also cool that she could speak German, which made things easier for me.

I had some pants and dresses that needed to be altered because they were too long, and when I spoke to Nthabiseng, she told me to bring them within a day. In 3 or 4 days she was done with everything and even brought them to my place of work, and everything was just perfect and fit perfectly. I had only marked with a pen where the alterations should be, and she did it perfectly on both the dresses and the pants. I was happy with her work, she was so professional, the price felt acceptable, and I would definitely recommend her services.

I went to Teresa because she runs a secondhand wedding dress shop in Lisbon, and I was specifically interested in the secondhand market both for cost and for less impact on the environment. I had emailed with her prior, and she was very quick with her responses and really helpful. The dress was much less than market value, and the whole experience met my expectations.
