About Atelier Ourlet
Atelier Ourlet is based in Douala and has 3 years of experience with weddings, engagements and galas. Hems, bustles, taking in, letting out and re-beading for bridal gowns, suits and traditional outfits, with fittings booked around your date and an emergency slot the week of the event.
Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 72 hours. Prices start from 60,000 XAF.
We work in French and English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.

The quote was clear and there were no surprises on the final bill.
Very good overall; one small delay at the start, quickly fixed.

Good work, though we would have liked a little more contact before the day.
