The Process
I guide you through the entire process to ensure it’s smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, you’ll have all the cost and timing details. I have a wide selection of fabrics, and I can source any material needed for your dream dress.
Design and Fabric Selection:
- We start by selecting the highest quality fabrics for your dress.
- A design is chosen based on your vision, requirements and budget.
Prototype Creation:
- I create a first prototype from substitute fabric to help you visualize the final piece.
- This prototype allows for adjustments and fine-tuning of the design.
Fittings and Adjustments:
- At every stage, your garment will be fitted to ensure a perfect result.
- As a specialist in pattern cutting, I guarantee an impeccable fit.
Taking In the Dress
- If the dress needs to be taken in more than one size, it may not be possible to take in at just one seam like the center back. More work will be required if it needs to be taken in all around.
Final Creation:
- The final garment is crafted in my home studio, ensuring a seamless service from start to finish.
- Every detail is meticulously handled to create a piece you will love.
Throughout the entire journey, my focus is on providing a personal and detailed service, ensuring your experience is enjoyable and stress-free.
