Can You Make Me A |

No, I am sorry to say that I can’t make you a custom wedding dress at this time.
Up until 2007 . . . I custom designed wedding dresses for individual brides.
They brought in pictures and sketches and I would design the dress of their dreams.
"I really enjoyed designing and making wedding dresses."
But right now . . . I have decided to take a break from making bridal gowns and continue with bridal gown alterations.
If I should decide to do some designing again in the future, "I will post it to this site."
But here is a place online I came across, that I affiliated with that I think might be worth a try if you want a custom couture wedding gown.
I have to admit that I haven't seen any of their gowns personally, so do your research as you normally would.
"But guess what I will do?"
Restyle Or Re-design Your Wedding Gown
"Instead of making you a custom wedding dress, I can re-design your wedding gown for you according to your personal design!"

You can have necklines changed, sleeves added or taken off and skirts narrowed. Adding a Detachable Plain Satin Halter easily trans forms a gown.
You can have beaded trim added or lace appliqués sewn on.
Trains can be shortened. Detachable trains can be made, and added to wedding gowns without trains.
Dresses can be made into a lace up corset back wedding gown, which is a popular style detail.
Sashes are popular and can add color to your wedding dress. Hems can be shortened to tea length or made into the high low hemline.
“There is so much that can me done to modify a wedding gown into the perfect wedding dress for you.”
Plus . . . you “avoid the cost and time” involved with the designing of a custom wedding dress!
How to keep re-design costs to a minimum
Avoid doing to many design changes on one dress to keep costs under control. Also large additions like adding to the train or adding a lot of appliqués or bead work can be an expensive addition.
Avoid making major changes to a gown silhouette, like changing an a-line wedding gown to a mermaid style. It is better to buy a dress in the silhouette desired.
Easy Design Changes That Result in a Different Look

Notice the gown pictures above. The "before" picture shows a beautiful wedding gown. What was wrong with it? Nothing... other than the gown had sleeves.
This bride wanted the sleeves removed so that the gown would look like a strapless gown.
"When I found out she planned to sell the dress after the wedding, I suggested that she have me sew the sleeves down in side the gown." "Why did I do this?"
"I suggested this so that she would still have the option to sell the dress in its’ original design." "It would make the dress more versatile for selling it"
The next bride would have both style options available to her, giving her more incentive to purchase the dress.
”Instead of having a custom wedding dress made... re-design your bridal gown to add your personal touch!”
