How to Co-Design a Custom Wedding Dress in London

f you’re getting married in London and want a dress that feels like it was made for you but don’t have the budget for a fully bespoke dress, a custom wedding dress is the way to go. Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish.

What is a custom wedding dress?

A custom wedding dress is a dress customised specifically for you. After trying on some collection dresses at our London studio, you’ll work with our designer Agnese who will listen to your ideas, sketches a dress based on your style and inspiration, and brings it to life using your chosen fabric, silhouette and details.

Why go custom instead of buying off the rack

Off-the-rack dresses are an option you either fall in love with or you don’t. Custom gowns are made to give you that additional creativity and personal touch to your wedding dress. With a custom dress, there’s no compromise. You control the silhouette, fabric and feeling.

Step-by-step design process

Consultation: You meet our designer at our London studio, discuss your wedding plans, style preferences, budget and ideas and try on some existing dresses to use as a base canvas.

Sketching and concept: Our designer turns your vision into sketches. You will have some calls to go over the sketches to make sure your vision is perfectly nailed.

Measurements: You’re measured precisely to ensure the perfect fit.

First Fitting: You come to our sewing studio to test fit and design and finalise any additional details.

Final fitting: The real dress is made. You’ll try is on to make sure everything is perfect and if it is, you can take your dress home with you!
