THE TOP ARRIVED FRIDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY...GOOD SERVICE.  I HELD MY BREATH AS I OPENED IT AND IT LITERALLY JUMPED AT ME AS I OPENED THE TISSUE.   IT'S SO ALIVE AND VIBRANT AND GORGEOUS BEYOND BELIEF.

March 19, 2007 from Stephanie Lavertu, Maine, after fitting the top to her trainer, Elaine.

 

"I got home too late last night to e-mail you again, but the top fits Elaine perfectly.  What a difference between standard shirts and custom.  The standard have to stretch some areas and shrink others to fit, but custom is amazing.  Elaine was thrilled, excited, bubbly and had to bring it into the barn to show some of the boarders.  Now everyone is saying, "when do we get our shirts!!!" 

I'm glad we decided to heat-set the crystals except for the conchos.  It really does make them look like jewelry.  The perfect symmetry of the top is also outstanding.  You're amazing and now to come up with ideas for next show season!!!!

My best and thanks again for all the attention to detail.

Stephanie
