A Glimpse Into Dover Grace
"I can’t say enough about Dover Grace! I walked in and not only found the perfect dress (the very first one that I tried on), but the store personnel were so attentive and nice! The owner Frances went above and beyond for me- and not only did I leave with the dress but felt I left with a friend... there is so much more to this story that is to be continued ...... “Above and Beyond” does not begin to describe how special this woman made our wedding ceremony..."
