Happy Prom Customer Returns for Her Wedding Dress



Once a Happy Customer at Sydney's Closet, always a Happy Customer. In 2005, Rachelle Morrow of St. Charles, Missouri bought a beautiful blue Prom dress from us. "I almost didn't go to my Prom because I couldn't find a dress in my size," she remembers.
Four years later, Racehlle returns for her wedding dress. She's all smiles as a dress-up consultant helps her find the perfect wedding dress. Could this be the one?!?

Congratulations Rachelle on your engagement. You'll be a beautiful bride when you tie the knot in May 2010 in the chapel at the historic Daniel Boone Chapel. And thanks soooo much for shopping with us again for one of the most important days in your life!

Fan Mail from a Very Happy Bride

Thanks to Monica U of Alabama for sending us this fabulous email.

Dear Sydney,
I just received my wedding dress today, and it is absolutely LOVELY! I can't believe how wonderful it is. I'm so excited and I can't wait to send you pictures from the Wedding. I was worried that I could not find a dress to fit me, and this one is actually a little big, but it can be taken it. Again, thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Monica U
