Bridal designer banks on quality craftmanship, affordability to fire up demand for locally-made gowns

After visiting dozens of wedding retailers and trying on dozens of wedding dresses, Stephanie Mwiti knew for sure that finding a ready-to-wear bridal gown, given her tall and curvy body shape was not going to be possible.

“I wanted to look and feel special on my wedding day. Squeezing myself into a dress that I didn’t like or would be over my budget wasn’t an option,” says the 30-year-old.
