Francesca Finotelli

I discovered Patrizia’s atelier by chance on Instagram, and I instantly fell in love.

It was the first atelier I contacted, and the first place where I tried on my very first wedding dress.

I had a clear idea of what I wanted, and I immediately tried on the dress I had chosen—beautiful, but something felt like it was missing.

That’s when Patrizia worked her magic and said:

“Do you trust me? I have the right dress for you.”

And believe me—she was absolutely right.

The moment I put it on, I fell in love.

Tears started flowing—but I was still hesitant to say the fateful “Yes, this is the one.”

Patrizia immediately understood what I was feeling, and with such kindness and sensitivity, she told me to take my time. She encouraged me to try on other dresses and reassured me: “If it’s truly the one, you’ll know.” 

And that’s exactly what happened.

I tried on other dresses, but at every fitting, I kept looking for that same emotion, that one detail that reminded me of thatdress.

So I wrote to Patrizia and went back.

There it was, waiting for me—and when I tried it on again, the feeling was indescribable.

Tears, laughter—and finally, I said:

“Yes, this is the one!”

Throughout the entire journey, Patrizia was incredibly professional, as were her amazing seamstresses, who crafted my dream dress and guided me with the best advice to ensure every detail was perfect for the big day.

She taught me so much—how to walk, how to sit—every little gesture mattered. 

And to all future brides:

In this atelier, you’ll never feel like just a number.

You won’t be treated as someone who has one hour to buy a dress before the next client walks in.

Here, it’s different.

The bride comes first—her emotions, her fears, her dream of finding the perfect dress.

There’s never any pressure to buy.

And the quality of the materials is truly outstanding.

So no, I don’t just recommend this atelier—I HIGHLY recommend it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Patrizia.
