  Last month, my daughter was on a layover in Vancouver on her way to her sister’s wedding in Melbourne and inadvertently left her bridesmaids dress on the plane. With only two days to go until the wedding, there was panic in the air.
  
  After I talked on the phone with Susanna at D”Italia who spoke very professionally, but also was genuinely empathetic, I knew I was in the right hands. Within a few hours we were sorting through her incredible selection of fabrics to find a near perfect match - Susanna then sourced out a highly skilled dressmaker who she knew could pull off the seemingly impossible. That afternoon the measurements were taken and the next day was the unveiling; both my daughter and I couldn’t believe our eyes - side by side on a mannequin they looked identical!
  
  When we arrived at the wedding for rehearsals the next day, everyone was completely oblivious to what had just taken place behind the scenes. The wedding and reception were absolutely fairy tale perfect, and only the next day did we tell people in the wedding party what had happened. We were all able to have a big laugh about the potential catastrophe that never materialized!
  
  Thanks to Susanna at D’Italia for coordinating the wedding miracle of the century for us and for helping us out of what we thought was an insurmountable predicament. Your professionalism, thoughtfulness and extreme competence helped us to dodge a bullet, divert a total disaster, and have amazing memories for the rest of our lives.
  
  Thanks from all of us - you really are the best!
