Custom Wedding Dresses

A custom wedding dress is the perfect solution for the bride who is looking for a bridal gown that is truly one-of-a-kind, designed especially for her. Each wedding gown that I design and create is inspired by the bride’s unique personality and vision for her wedding, so that on her special day she will exude radiance in her dream wedding dress.

Evening Wear

Whether going to the prom, a formal, or a cocktail function, a woman’s first question is “what will I wear?” A custom evening wear dress is the perfect answer for the woman who is looking for a dress that is beautifully fit to her body and expresses her unique point of view.

A custom evening dress is a way to explore your artistic side. I can create a completely unique design that stands apart from the current trends or can take a popular silhouette and add a creative twist to it to compliment your individual personality. A custom evening dress is also the ideal option for the woman who cannot find the design she wants in her size or in the fabrics she desires. If being eco-friendly is important to you, you can have a dress made from sustainable materials.

The Process of Creating a Custom Bridal Gown, Wedding Dress, or Evening Wear:

 

The Dress Concept:

The process of creating a custom wedding gown begins with a meeting between me and the bride. During this meeting, we discuss the bride’s dress design ideas, the overall atmosphere of the wedding, artistic ideas, and the dress budget. I welcome any inspirational images the bride can find to help convey her wedding dress ideas.

The Dress Design:

I create a set of wedding dress design sketches based on what we discussed in the first meeting. The bride then selects her favorite design. If none of the designs are exactly what she wants, she uses these first sketches as a way to get closer to the perfect design. The design phase continues until the bride is completely thrilled with the design.

Dress Construction:

I take measurements, complete a mock-up of the dress, and fit it to the bride. We finalize the fabric selection, purchase the materials, and begin construction of the dress. The bride should be able to travel to my studio in Davis, CA (between Sacramento and San Francisco) for at least three fittings: an in-progress dress fitting, a fitting to mark the hem, and a final fitting of the completed dress.

And that is how your custom wedding dress is created. Happy Wedding!
