Guide To Finding The Perfect Custom Bridal Gown

By Rosella Campbell


Selecting just the right wedding dress is perhaps the biggest decision a bride-to-be will make. If she chooses to have a custom bridal gown made just for her, she can ensure that it will be the style and fit that will best flatter her. Working together with a skilled dressmaker, the bride will be able to walk down the aisle in the dress she has always dreamed of.

A bride-to-be who wants a custom-made wedding dress first needs to brainstorm and come up with some ideas of the look she desires. This can be accomplished by drawing sketches, collecting photos from magazines, and also by assessing the styles of everyday-wear dresses one already has in her closet, with all of these ideas it should be possible to identify one look that will be the most flattering for the bridal dress.

A skilled dressmaker knows how to browse through one's favorite styles and fuse them into one complete look that will match her personal preferences. It will then be necessary to obtain the bride's measurements, make note of her wedding date, and determine the price. In some cases the dressmaker will first build a preliminary muslin sample in the basic shape of the dress just so the bride can try it on and see if any changes are necessary before the actual gown is sewn.

Both the bride-to-be and the seamstress need to feel comfortable communicating and sharing their ideas with each other. It's normal to expect that the woman getting married will have her own plans for how the gown should look, but at the same time it's best to also be open-minded to any advice and suggestions the knowledge and experience of the dressmaker brings to the table.

It also helps to have an open mind when it comes to suggestions for ways in which the dress may look or fit even better that the dressmaker may have. Even though most brides have some definite ideas of their own in mind, they should still trust the expertise of the seamstress as she is likely more aware of ways that will make the final results even better.

The cost of a custom dress is determined mainly by the particular materials used in its construction, and by the amount of time it will take the dressmaker to build it. A simpler design will generally cost less than a very elaborate one. Typically it may take three to six months to complete a design, and in this time the bride will need to attend multiple fitting sessions.

A tailor-made fit is one of the main reasons brides opt for a custom design. Wearing the same undergarments and shoes which one will wear on the wedding day to each fitting is advisable in order to ensure length and fit are accurate.

Dressmakers understand that a bride's budget can vary from the next, and because of this they normally offer a wide range of styles that are not only tailored to fit one's proportions, but also her pocketbook. It is usually feasible for every bride to find a design she will be pleased with that also fits nicely into her budget with the help of a dedicated seamstress.
