There are occasions that are so special they are worthy of a gown that is unique as to showcase the wearer like a fine jewel case: graduations, weddings, galas and awards ceremonies, just to name a few. Greene Avenue’s Bella Boutique is Westmount’s nexus for dresses that will turn heads all evening long.
“We offer a wide selection of evening gowns, and they are unique to Montreal,” proclaims Laura Iannizzi, owner of Bella Boutique. “We carry brands like La Femme and Sherry Hill, for which we have the local exclusive. We also design and craft our own creations, under the Bella brand. I come up with the concepts, and we have two highly experienced on-site seamstresses who bring them to life. All Bella dresses are made here.”
When the time comes to select a product to offer her clientele, Laura spares no expense: “I go to Europe every year to attend the biggest showcases and runway shows. In under four days, I see about 10,000 dresses, and I choose the ones that are best for my clientele.”
