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.

In order to identify the best look for this special gown, the bride should do an evaluation of what cuts, fabrics, and style of clothing most of her everyday wear dresses are, as this gives some indication of what her taste is and can be used to help design her wedding gown. Pictures, sketches etc. Should also be compiled and presented to the seamstress, who will be able to mesh them together into one beautiful look.

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.

Both the bride-to-be and the seamstress need to feel comfortable communicating and sharing their ideas with each other. It's normal to expect that the woman getting married will have her own plans for how the gown should look, but at the same time it's best to also be open-minded to any advice and suggestions the knowledge and experience of the dressmaker brings to the table.

Although just about any bride will have definite ideas about the look of the dress, it can help to remain somewhat flexible and open to the dressmaker's suggestions. In some cases, this professional will have another idea that may just turn out to be better, simply because she has been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn't.

The price of a custom dress is usually higher than that of an off-the-rack design, however it does not necessarily have to cost a lot. The materials used and time needed to complete it are the main factors which affect the cost. Most dresses take between three and six months to finish, depending on how complicated the design is. Several fittings are usually needed prior to completion.

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.

Since not every bride will have the same budget, dressmakers are able to offer a wide range of designs for varying prices so everyone is bound to find something she loves that suits her finances. With so many choices, nobody should walk away disappointed, because it is not necessary to spend a fortune for a gorgeous, custom-made wedding gown.
