This place is a dream. Patty and Corina Go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. I was not an easy bride. Trying on over 100 dresses all over LA at all price ranges, I never left happy. I found them on Yelp, not knowing they make dresses. I came in and fell in love. They were able to make my dream dress. They have soooooo much patience and go out of their way to make sure you feel great on your wedding day. I couldn't ask for a better set of people. You will not be disappointed. They are amazing!!

Corina and Patty are amazing to work with! I came in with an idea for a custom designed dress, as I had decided I wanted a very light blue wedding dress, which is hard to find on the normal market. Corina and Patty took my idea, mocked up a stunning sketch, and then made the final dress even more spectacular than I could have imagined. My wedding dress was everything I could have wanted and more, and I cannot recommend L'ezu more highly!
Besides being exceptionally talented, both Corina and Patty are just a joy to work with, and I think they were just as excited about designing my dress as I was. I had a fabulous experience working with them!

I started the wedding dress hunt one year before the wedding. I visited many stores and tried on even more dresses. I couldn't find anything I loved and was too scared to custom make my dress. But that was before I met Patty! After our first meeting I left feeling good about the idea. And sure enough I was back with some rough sketches of what I'm imagining. Patty and Corina were great! All my ideas and concerns were heard and they did everything to make sure I take home my dream dress.
I felt like a princess on my wedding day and everyone said it looked like a fairytale dress. Thank you Patty and Corina for making me feel so beautiful and elegant on such a special day! You're both amazing
