What Every Bride Should Know About Choosing A Custom Bridal Gown

By Rosella Campbell


Of all the many details that go into planning a wedding, finding just the right dress to walk down the aisle in is one of the most important ones. Brides who desire a unique look and a flawless fit may want to consider having a custom bridal gown made to their specifications by a gifted and inspired dressmaker who can transform their dreams into reality.

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.

It's important that there be very open communication between the bride and the person who is making her dress. An experienced seamstress can be a wealth of information and helpful advice for a bride who has never before chosen a wedding gown. Brides should feel free to ask questions and certainly share any concerns, as this will ensure they are happy with the finished product and that the designer does not have redo anything.

Trusting the dressmaker's professional opinion is a good idea, since she will likely be able to come up with recommendation and options that the bride wasn't even aware of, which may be even more appealing. If at any point the bride feels she is not pleased with something, she needs to make this known so a different direction can be taken that she will be more satisfied with.

The price of a custom dress is usually higher than that of an off-the-rack design, however it does not necessarily have to cost a lot. The materials used and time needed to complete it are the main factors which affect the cost. Most dresses take between three and six months to finish, depending on how complicated the design is. Several fittings are usually needed prior to completion.

Unlike ready-made designs, customized gowns are constructed to the bride's exact measurements and therefore offer a much better fit. In order to ensure accuracy, it's recommended that the bride wear the same shoes and undergarments that she will wear at her wedding during the fittings.

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.
