Margueritte Couture

This is the most extraordinary thing of having a blog: being able to, through it, meet extraordinary people and come across projects that you would never know otherwise. That's why I want you to meet Felicia Teleuca and her story.

Felicia is from Romania, but she lives in Brussels for 5 years now. She has studied and learnt the crafts of designing and sewing from a young age, but has passed several years of her live working in other areas, until she rediscovered her passion for dress making here in Brussels. She has a beautiful atelier, the one you see in this pictures, from where she manages her own brand: Margueritte Couture.

She's been making personalized dresses for her clients (or shall I say friends?) for some years now, both wedding dresses, cocktail dresses and evening dresses. She pays attention to every little detail and takes into account the personality and style of her client before proposing her a dress, which she then makes with much love and care. The quality standard is then very high, as you'll have an unique dress made with the best materials, your own measurements, carefully crafted just for you.

I had the opportunity of meeting her as she kindly offered to make myself a dress for the Hungarian Ball I am attending next weekend. We have already had a first meeting to discuss the model she's going to make (it's not the one pictured in these sketches!), to take my measurements and by the end of the week she will have it finished (made in only one week without compromising quality, that's a challenge!). It will be my pleasure to attend this event dressed in a gown made by Felicia and an honor to have met this brave woman, who wasn't afraid to follow her dreams and doing what she loves and who, being an expat herself, showed a great amount of generosity and kindness to receive me in her atelier and offer me her services. If you ever need a ball gown, an evening or cocktail dress, or even a wedding dress, be sure to talk to Felicia and I am certain you won't be disappointed! As she mentioned herself, her work is so emotive and time consuming, that it's hard to see a dress go away in the hands of a client. But the recognition she has from her work and the pride of seeing it being worn in a special occasion, are the motivation she needs to continue to do what she loves.
