I had the most stressful situation last July when I contacted her and she literllay saved my life and of course my dress, making it the most stunning thing I've ever worn. Here is the long story in short version:

I wanted to incorporate my mum's 40 years old dress into my 2 pieces dress but I trusted the wrong person... that person took $1000 of me and did nothing in 8 months but a horrible design with cheap materials and wrong finishes... , and after I called Liza in tears and completely desperate, she magically, from scracth, had my dress ready in under 2 weeks (as I was flying to Spain for my wedding). We went for fabric shopping together, I chose the most expensive silk and it wasn't even that much money at all! (around CAD400 for the whole dress, for the fabric). Then she, very professionally, read me, my style, my way, and created this.

(The 3/4 sleeve is hand made from Spain but I'm 100% sure she would have done it if I had more time!)

Thanks again Liza, can't stop recommending you. 🙂 read less

I was so nervous going custom for a bridesmaid dress, but like Liza said, the process was so smooth, stress free and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Although I'm from Calgary I would recommend to anyone looking for custom dresses.

Liza created a beautiful bohemian two pieces wedding dress for me and I cannot wait to wear it in just a few days. She worked out some magic as I got pregnant half way through the process and the dress is absolutely stunning. She had previously made a dress for a friend of mine that reflected her personality so well... read moreLiza created a beautiful bohemian two pieces wedding dress for me and I cannot wait to wear it in just a few days.

The two Moroccan Silk Basket Weave rectangular pillows arrived today!

They are exactly as stated on website.

The materials and craftsmanship is top quality.

They go perfect with my blue leather sofa and artwork in my living room.

The price for these expertly designed and crafted pillows is very reasonable.

I’d rather buy Canadian and support our artists/ creative people than over pay for big name Designers’ mass produced, sweat-shop products. read less

Liza is the best. Super talented. She has made me suits over the years that are exactly what I wanted, and we have now moved into shirts and dresses. I feel so lucky to have found her!

Her creativity and talent with fabric and the finished details, sense of style & colour, and intuitive sense of what I was hoping for, all culminated in a flowy, comfortable, elegant piece. I look forward to wearing it not just for the Big, Planned Occasion, but also for as many other events in the future as I can justify (it's so comfortable!) I brought Liza a piece of silk that my mother-in-law-to-be had given me, in the hopes that it could be turned into a dress. What Liza created is truly special, and I can't wait to surprise my mother-in-law with the result. To top it off, the process was stress-free because Liza also happens to be organized, responsive, and manages to stay on schedule. read less

I love my vintage pillow. So stylish and well made, no detail overlooked, including little leather tabs around the zipper. I’ve had it over a year and it still looks new.

I was looking for a special dress for a special occasion, my son’s wedding. Liza helped me find an amazing fabric, designed and made a fabulous dress.

Liza’s pillows are not only works of art but they are indestructible. Very well made and tones of character.

When my partner, James, and I decided to elope on our upcoming vacation in Costa Rica, I hadn’t intended to go “full gown” for the occasion. But shopping for a special beach dress in October proved difficult, and I eventually went online for options - and found the fabulous Ms. Diaz.

But shopping for a special beach dress in October proved difficult, and I eventually went online for options - and found the fabulous Ms. Diaz.

Liza did such a beautiful job on the design we arrived at. I brought her a folder of styles I liked and we talked through what would work best for my shape, fabric possibilities, and adjustments that could improve the design along the way.

It was so much more fun to create something uniquely my own than to try on (and be disappointed by or have to settle for) an off the rack option. The dresses I liked were either outrageously expensive or made of fabrics that looked like they might burst into flames if exposed to bright sunlight for too long. 😁☀️ Liza’s handmade dress was “just right”. We were able to find a luxurious fabric (without breaking the bank) and I got every design detail I wanted. My favourite was the silk chiffon, bloused train we added mid-way in our design process.

I so appreciated Liza’s amazing sense of style, craftswomanship, and honesty in helping me find the design that would best fit and flatter. She really knows her fabrics, how to cut them, and how things drape. And she would also raise a (gentle) eyebrow at my “less-good” ideas. Liza made this a really fun process and it was an absolute treat to have something made to measure. Thank you Liza! You are one-of-a-kind. read less

Most stores have such generic pillows, which is why I bought a My Vintage Pillow. It's my statement piece, my conversation piece and my pop of color! I love that no two are alike and they all have a little history. Bonus points for being washable, sturdy and having a decorative zipper!

My dress is beautiful and I feel amazing when I put it on. Thank you Liza for your skill and also for putting me at ease and making me feel so comfortable during our meetings/fittings. Your professionalism, skill and friendliness kept this part of the wedding planning stress free. I definitely recommend Liza to anyone who is looking for a custom dress!

In addition, because of the very small size of the dress, the tailoring costs for the dress were often double the cost of the dress or more! We contacted Liza and despite the tight schedule she managed to fit us in! We were beyond delighted to work with her and she helped us cheerfully along the way to the perfect dream dress.

The biggest challenge we faced was finding a modest wedding dress as the current fashion is, unfortunately, in favor of less material rather than more. Our style was a more traditional 16th century style modernized dress and Liza was more than up for the challenge! She helped us not only make the dress of our dreams, but also went above and beyond in her accentuation, help with material selection, and the overall design process.

So, despite the tiny size of the dress, ambitious vision of style, tight schedule, and monetary limitations, Liza managed to not only meet our expectations but far exceed them. She is a wonderfully gifted and passionate seamstress and always goes the extra mile.

Thank you Liza!~ read less

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Liza creating the perfect dress for my perfect day. It looked amazing! I got so many compliments on it and I felt like an absolute queen.

I was worried about committing to a dress that had not even been created yet, i wouldn't know what it would look like on me or how close it would turn out to the dress i wanted. Well it turned out better than I could have imagined! If I had purchased the dress I found online for more than double the price of having this one made it would have had to undergo so many alterations to fit my proportions. I certainly don't have the legs of a model! but this dress made me feel even more beautiful than those models in the bridal magazines!

Highly recommend Liza Diaz! read less

By far my favorite pillow! Thanks for transforming my seldom used silk purse into a sentimental work of art that I cuddle during every Netflix binge 😋

Liza was willing to meet with me with what little I had in the sense of an idea and fabric. She was wonderful, warm and welcoming. I loved her enthusiasm for my idea and for working with the gorgeous, vintage linen table cloth I wanted transformed into my wedding dress. I reached out to with very short notice and she still took on the project. It was super easy to work with Liza and I truly appreciated her openness to me and my particular style and quirkiness. The end result is a beautiful dress that fit me like a comfortable glove. I looked stunning and natural and comfortable in it and shone on my special day. I had the dress made in a way that I could wear it again after my wedding and that, I will! I have never had a custom piece of clothing designed and made for me and Liza made the whole experience incredibly effortless and uplifting. The price and time of completion were perfect and I would do it all over again for other pieces of clothing. There is something so special about the intimate process of having clothes made for oneself. I highly recommend Liza as she is a gifted and talented designer and maker of clothes. Thank you Liza for a beautiful experience! read less
