Dear Stop and Sew,
Congratulations on opening the store at your new location! I have always been a fan of Stop and Sew, and I wouldn't have succeeded as a local fashion designer over the past decade if it weren't for the unique products available at your establishment. I've appreciated that you sell a variety of different cloth materials to suit every taste, as it has assisted me in creating imaginative and interesting designs.
As always, your new store is very well organized with fabrics arranged by purpose and material. On top of that, your knowledgeable salespeople are helpful and provide exceptional service. They made some fine recommendations recently when I was selecting textiles for my swimwear collection and provided me with a brochure on the basic materials you offer.
I do have a suggestion, however, regarding the wedding dress fabrics. The clients I have for wedding gowns tend to want more unique materials. Trends are changing, and customers want detailed designs rather than the simple ones you offer. I currently have all wedding dress fabrics shipped through out-of-town suppliers. You may wish to take this into consideration when ordering new stock, as it would help a lot of local dressmakers and designers.
Thank you, and I wish you continued success!
Regards,
Jenna Palmer
