Elektra, better known as Eli, began her journey in 1999 as a passionate seamstress in Tirana, Albania, where she proudly owned and operated her own dressmaking shop. From the very beginning, Eli specialized in creating custom gowns from scratch, carefully crafting each piece with skill, patience, and a deep love for her work.

In 2013, Eli made the bold move to the United States, where she faced the challenge of rebuilding her business and customer base from the ground up. Through dedication and perseverance, she continued doing what she knew best—designing and tailoring beautiful garments while earning the trust of a new community.

Eli worked in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge neighborhood up until 2021, when she achieved a lifelong dream by opening her own bridal boutique once again. Today, Elis Bridal, located at 359 Cleveland Avenue, Staten Island, reflects her decades of experience, craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment to quality.

At the heart of everything Eli does is her promise to provide exceptional service and impeccably made gowns. Every bride who walks through her doors is treated with care, honesty, and attention to detail—because for Eli, each dress is more than fabric; it’s a story worth perfecting.
