Ideas On Designing Your Custom Wedding Dress

Calendar May 16, 2010 | Posted by admin

Buying a Custom Wedding Dress

A wedding is one of the most important events you’ll experience in your lifetime, which is why you want to have a nice custom wedding dress. Everyone wants to make the day theirs, and to make it a day they’ll never forget. And one of those unforgettable things about the day is usually the wedding dress. Designing and buying a custom wedding dress can help make your day memorable.

Designing Your Custom Wedding Dress

One of the great things about having a custom wedding dress designed for you is that you have complete control over what it looks like. If you like slim-fitting dresses, or have an aversion to white, you can pick the dress that suits you best. To find out what kind of dress you want, shop around online and in different wedding dress shops to see if there are any particular styles or designs that you like. This way you can get a feel for the different types of dresses that are currently available. You might also have the wedding dress style in mind already.

When designing your custom wedding dress, you have several options. One is approaching a high-end couture label that specializes in wedding dresses. This will probably be an expensive option, as off the rack wedding dresses tend to retail for very high prices already. Another option is to find a tailor who can sew the dress from a pattern or from an existing garment. A third option for your elegant wedding dress is altering an existing dress to make it fit your needs. For example, you might have found a dress that is perfect in every way but the length, and so you could see if it’s possible to have some extra fabric added or removed.

Another option that you can take when designing your custom wedding dress is to pre-purchase the fabric yourself. Wedding dresses tend to be made of very expensive, heavy fabrics, so it’s great if you can find a cheaper alternative. Try shopping at local fabric shops, and try looking online, as well. In addition, it’s possible to ship back amazing and affordable fabrics from countries such as India. If you take this route, it’s highly likely that you’ll end up with a stunning and unique dress.

Some Thing to Consider When Purchasing a Custom Wedding Dress

One last thing to think about when purchasing a custom wedding dress is whether it’s something you’d like to re-wear. If so, try to pick a color or wedding dress style that would be appropriate for other formal events. You can also have your perfect dress designed for the day, and then arrange to have it altered later so that you can still wear it to other events. Versatility is one of the benefits of custom wedding dresses, so you should make the most of it.

Custom Wedding Dress – Every Bride Wants a Wedding Dress That’s Custom Made

Calendar March 28, 2010 | Posted by admin

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.

How to Find Custom Wedding Dresses

Calendar February 21, 2010 | Posted by admin

Finding Custom Wedding Dresses

Custom wedding dresses can be found in certain specialty shops in California and also online. You can easily find something special or customize your own design if that is your wish. Imagine that special day and everything is perfect, but your dress looks just like everyone else’s. That’s probably not what you had hoped for. You are special, you want something unique, a different look, maybe something that you saw in a movie. Whatever that is, you too can have your own custom wedding dress as long as you can afford one.

Custom Wedding Dresses Can be Expensive

There is nothing cheap about custom wedding dresses. In today’s tough economy, however, I am sure that with a little patience and some online surfing you can find a shop or a custom tailor that will make just about anything you desire. And isn’t that what a wedding is supposed to be all about? This is your time, your day, and your special memory! You should do all that you can to make it unique and that might mean having your wedding dress made to order.

And if money is a problem you are not going to find too many wedding gowns under $2000 these days anyway. Even at those special wedding dress events where brides line up for days to get in and get designer wedding dresses at fire sale prices, you are not going to get anything for less than two grand. So, what if you offer that same two thousand dollars to a custom shop that maybe is not producing that many dresses right now? Do you think they will decline your business or turn you away? Not in today’s tough economy where most couples are scrimping and saving. These days most couples end up spending all of their own savings on their wedding.

How to Save Money on Custom Wedding Dresses

So let’s say for the sake of argument that you want a specific custom wedding dress that you saw in a movie. My advice is to go immediately online and search for designer shops that cater to this sort of thing. If you really want to save money and be even more innovative and daring, you may want to try a local fashion college or art school that features dress design. Post a notice on their board saying that you are interested in contracting a student to design a custom wedding dress for you. I bet you will receive many qualified responses. One tip: don’t pay for anything until you get the design you want, then only pay half up front and half on delivery. Make sure they give you an invoice saying “deposit paid” and make sure you work out whether or not the deposit is refundable if they don’t deliver. You don’t want to end up in one of those judge shows on TV.
