What Every Bride Should Know About Choosing A Custom Bridal Gown

By Rosella Campbell


One of the most important decisions a bride must make is which wedding gown to buy. A custom bridal gown is the perfect choice for brides who have specific design ideas in mind and desire a flawless fit made especially for their unique body shape. Talented dressmakers can work with the bride to make these wishes a reality for her special day.

The first step in designing the perfect dress, is to determine which styles, cuts, fabrics, etc., one looks best in and has as part of her regular wardrobe. Any pictures or sketches of qualities one is looking for in a gown should be collected, so they can be presented to the dressmaker. Together, the bride-to-be and her chosen seamstress can come up with a design that smartly combines all of these elements.

A talented designer can create a dress that encompasses the qualities which are important to her client, but still looks unified and together. Once the style has been chosen, the wedding date and measurements will be noted, and the price will be worked out as well. Some dressmakers will also make a prototype from muslin first so the bride can try it on and find out if any changes will need to be made in the finished dress.

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.

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.

Prices of custom-designed dresses vary, and depend mostly on the time it will take to assemble it, and also which materials are being used. A very intricate design normally attracts a higher price than a simple one. On average, it can take about three to six months to finish the dress, and the bride can expect to attend several fitting sessions.

One of the best reasons to choose a customized design, is that it ensures a perfect fit. It's a good idea for the bride to wear the shoes and undergarments that she intends to wear on her wedding day when she goes to each fitting, as these can influence the length and dimensions the gown must have.

Each bride may have a different budget from the next, and most dressmakers are more than happy to accommodate this as much as possible. Those who want a customized look will be shown various options that take into account both their personal wishes and the price range they have to work with.
