Yes, You Can Design Your Own Wedding Dress!
Have you shopped and shopped, and still can’t find the perfect wedding gown? You might wish to think about helping to design a custom wedding gown. (This is not to say that you will be the one to sew the dress!) This is what you need to know to work with a seamstress to create the wedding gown of your dreams.
The earliest part of the design process should involve trying on a variety of gown styles. Many brides are surprised to find that the styles they are drawn to are not flattering, while shapes they might not have considered look fantastic on them. When you have tried all of the different styles, you will know which bodices are the most flattering and which skirt shapes best suit your figure. This is not a problem for most brides, as they usually decide to have a dress made because they have tried on lots of gowns – and none of them were quite right. If you have not, go to a self service bridal salon where you can try on every conceivable shape without taking up an appointment.
Brides love that when they help create their own bridal gown it can be a combination of all of their favorite gown samples. Make Your vision clear to the seamstress with images of the tops and bottoms of wedding dresses that you find beautiful. A talented seamstress can take all of the parts and pieces and make them into one cohesive design. Also let her know what the general style of your wedding will be like. If you envision wearing crystal heart earrings for an ultra-romantic Valentine’s day wedding, she can help you design a very romantic dress. If you want to invoke your inner Marilyn Monroe, she can work up a halter gown a la “The Seventh Year Itch”.
You will be asked to pick out the material for your custom gown. Many different fabrics will be available from which to choose. Some fabrics will lend themselves to more structured styles, while others are more flowing. Choose a slubby silk shantung for autumn or a dotted Swiss for a springtime bride. It is a matter of your personal preference, as well as selecting a material which will lend itself to the dress silhouette you favor. Ask your seamstress to help you pick the best fabric for your gown. Being able to select a very interesting fabric is a particularly neat aspect of a customized bridal gown. Check out all of the fabric possibilities, from double faced satin to tissue taffeta to Alencon, there are so many beautiful options.
While your gown is being crafted, be open to surprise discoveries and design changes. One of the coolest aspects of ordering a custom dress is that there is flexibility to change the design as the gown comes together. You could be stuck on a strapless bodice, and then learn that you look better with thin straps. Maybe you will come across a gorgeous accent to complete your beautiful dress. It could be a jeweled sash to pick up the sparkle of your crystal heart earrings, a set of vintage pearl buttons, or a stunning lace applique. The best results will come when you have solid ideas and are also open minded.
You will feel like royalty in a bridal gown which was created especially for you. The style will be unique, the fit will be impeccable, and all of the choices will be yours. If you really want to get the most perfect possible wedding dress, have it made just for you.
