Debbie LaFramboise, owner of Sewly Yours & Once Upon a Bride in Burlington, Vermont, has been offering exquisite custom, vintage, and fine designer bridal wear since 2001. When you walk through the doors of her shop, it becomes apparent why LaFramboise's boutique is one of Vermont's premier bridal-wear establishments.

LaFramboise's passion for sewing began in her formative years, and she fondly recalls her early lessons: "I was so little, my grandmother had to put me on a phone book to reach the sewing machine." Over the years, she honed her talents and began a small home business while still in high school. Word-of-mouth referrals about LaFramboise's formidable abilities poured in - and the rest is history.

With nearly three decades of seamstress experience, she knows what it takes to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition. LaFramboise notes, "To me, there is nothing as rewarding as making a bride happy. It is such an important day, and the smallest detail that is important to the bride deserves the utmost attention."
