Michaell is the best dressmaker I’ve found in New York! I’ve been working with her for over a year now, and I haven’t found a job she can’t handle. Not only is she professional and responsive to all my communication, but she’s also a creative artist who works with you to make sure your desires are met and then some! Her work is the highest quality, and she finishes jobs within the timeframe specified.

Michaell was impressive to me at first. But the more I think back, as a designer I do think she was very concerned about what my dress said about her image rather than making my vision come alive. I will say the dress looked great, but as you can hopefully see in the photo, the slit I asked for and wanted so badly in the dress was something that Michaell wasn't a fan of, and I had to compromise. She brought the slit less open than what I wanted, messy (there were strings sticking out that I hadnt realized until the day I put on the dress for prom) and my entire prom I had to keep flipping it open to show it off. Michaell knew the dress was a lot of money for my family and that this was a gift from my mother to me, and despite that the stiching on the top part of my dress was done so poorly that the off-shoulder cross straps broke before I even started dancing. She also insisted that she make the dress two piece. She said no one would notice and it made it easier to put on and for her to make the dress, but the skirt of my dress was sliding the whole night. It was quite frustrating because I had been looking forward to prom and I wasn't able to enjoy it. The whole experience made me feel like I was putting the designer's wishes before my own, and yes I know the picture doesn't seem half bad. Keep in mind I had previously pulled up my skirt, my top hadn't broken yet, and I was forcably trying to show off the slit that I paid for. I feel bad for mother and Im just dissapointed. I included a picture of what I had showed Micheall my inspiration was. She added her own touch to the design which I appreciated, and lowered the number of pleats to make the dress less puffy, but the slit was the statement piece I really missed out on.
Michaell Lynn is a hugely talented dress designer. For much of her career, she worked in Paris with several notable couture houses and this foundation shows in her design work. Michaell has conceived of, designed and made several items for me, including a full length green silk gown for my wedding, a red silk cocktail dress, a grey high necked silk cocktail dress, a beautiful print day dress with inbuilt seams and a full organza ball skirt with petticoat for a white tie event. She has a very consultative approach and is able to create designs that are flattering, elegant and thoroughly unique. She goes above and beyond for her clients to make sure that they are happy, and has built a loyal following for this reason. Everyone should own one (if not many!) of Michaell Lynn’s designs!
Michaell is wonderful to work with. I went to her after my sister had used her for her own wedding dress alterations and I knew I would be in good hands. She had great ideas of how to change my dress to be perfect for what I wanted and knew exactly what needed to be done. She is easy to talk to, listens to what you want, and has a great eye for design. I never felt stressed about how my dress would turn because I knew I could trust her with getting my wedding dress to fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend Michaell and would go to her again in the future for other dress needs.
Michaell was the perfect person to work with on my mother of the bride dress. Everything was done “seamlessly” no issues along the way, my outfit was exactly what I wanted and beautifully tailored. I would highly recommend Michaell for a custom piece and even alterations! Both Michaell and her sweet beagle Madison, were always so welcoming!
