Colorful Custom Gown Design
Kristen had a distinctive vision for her wedding gown but wasn’t able to find “the one” while shopping. She was imagining a fun, colorful gown, reflecting her vibrant personality and she had a specific design silhouette in mind. Through close collaboration and creative vision, we brought her unique dream gown to life.
Inspiration and Design
Our process began with inspiration photos that Kristen shared to communicate her ideas. From there, we provided her with sketches and refined them until we arrived at the perfect design that captured everything she had envisioned. A key part of the design process was sourcing and selecting the ideal floral textile with the vibrant color palette she desired.
Creating this custom gown required four fittings. The first fitting involved a muslin mock-up, where we crafted the design “blueprint” to Kristen’s exact measurements using a cotton fabric. This mock-up allowed us to mark, pin, cut, and alter the gown until all of the design elements and fit were perfected before cutting into the final fabric.
Wedding Day!
The finished gown was crafted by meticulously cutting individual floral elements from the original fabric and placing each flower onto the dress by hand. This technique created a unique ombré effect, resulting in a one-of-a-kind gown tailored to perfection.
