Anat Chen, who studied fashion design, found it difficult to locate specialized seamstresses for wedding dresses in Israel, leading to wasted time and materials. After her parents opened a family bridal salon offering dresses, makeup, and hair services, Chen worked there for about 13 years. She then decided to pursue her own path, establishing a home-based studio dedicated to bridal gowns. Chen noted that the bridal business is seasonal, with very few brides in January, for example.
