Reviews

I found Maison Roula on Instagram and contacted her from California asking her about a dress for my Sister’s wedding and she was very helpful! Roula is the most professional women I have ever met, what I really liked at Maison Roula is the honesty and fast service and professionalism! She’s absolutely my number one choice for all my occasions from now on! I loved my dress and I love Maison Roula and I surely high recommend!

Excellent experience ! The result was beyond my expectations and I do not have a size 0 type of a body. Mrs Roula was able to embellish my curves with her “Haute Couture” expertise. Can’t wait for a new event to come up so i can order another dress 🙂

Nibal Kadi, 12/07/2019

I had a bridesmaid dress made that fit me perfectly! Mrs. Roula is a wonderful designer who takes her time developing the right fit for each character. Her work is a true masterpiece and I look forward to buying more dresses in the future.
