Who Else Wants a Custom Wedding Dress?

Oh, wow, you are getting married and will of course need a custom wedding dress. The thing is all wedding dresses are custom. Have you ever heard of anyone putting on a wedding dress and it actually fit? No gaps, no places where the boning sticks you? Manufacturers don’t have to make bridal wedding dresses very well because they know that the dresses, even if it is a custom wedding dress, will have to be altered.

Brides don’t realize this custom wedding dress may be the only part of the wedding they actually can count on. It doesn’t matter: it’s your day and it’s going to be perfect. At least you can control whether the bridal dress fits. Florists can deliver the wrong flowers; photographers don’t show up; caterers serve cold burnt food, but by heaven your dress is right. It’s a good idea not to point this out to brides unless you know for sure they aren’t the excitable type.

Tailoring Your Custom Wedding Dress

Typically, brides go to the bridal gown store six months or so before the big day. Many brides are also carrying along a few extra pounds. These come from all the bridal shower parties. They also have a vision in their heads of how much skinnier they will be in six months. So, they pick out the bridal dress not by how it looks on them today. No shop does actual tailoring for a custom wedding dress six months ahead. Measurements might be taken, but tailors have seen all this before. They aren’t going to give themselves extra free work by taking the brides dress in on spec. If they charge for every time they alter a dress, that’s a different story. You could come in weekly and pay them a bundle. Sounds crazy, but brides are often a little crazy.

Usually, the tailoring of a custom wedding dress is done by somebody at the bridal gown shop, who may not be as skilled as the tailors in men’s shops. They usually don’t have to do anything but take stuff in here and there, or let it out here and there. No big alterations. The shape of the whole neckline is not usually changed; you just buy a different wedding dress. But, you are still subject to how good this seamstress is.

Making Sure Your Custom Wedding Dress Fits

So, here you are, the week before the wedding, and you go in for your final fitting, just hoping that your custom wedding dress is going to fit. Whatever weight you are, that’s the weight that will walk down the aisle. No, you can’t lose 25 pounds by Saturday. You have a look at yourself in the mirror as they pin the wedding gown and you notice a few circles under your eyes that were never there before. You’re not tired of dealing with wedding stuff, are you? This is why brides in the last week before the wedding wish they had eloped instead. You trust your dressmaker. You have to trust your dressmaker. This is their one shot at getting it right, unless you have invited them to the wedding so they can be sewing you into the wedding bridal dress if it’s wrong. Not to worry. A custom wedding dress is every bride’s dream.
