The Process
- Bespoke -
Unique pieces that provide superior results for our clients through a commitment to excellence
The making of a bespoke dress is a unique experience that brings our customers into the creation process of their dreamed dress.
Let's take a walk over the creation of a dress
Consultation
You will be invited to our atelier in London, or under special requests, Teresa will travel to meet with you. In this first meeting we'll discuss your dreaming dress and the occasion you'd like to wear it for. You are welcome to bring photos and colours for inspiration. Teresa will suggest you some silhouettes that will suit your body shape, as well as colour palettes and fabrics.
Measurements
Our made-to-measure dresses are only made by using your personal measurements. During the first meeting we will take your measurements which will be used to create a bespoke pattern, uniquely made for your dress. If you prefer, measurements can also be taken via video call.
Sketching
Once we have a clear idea of your needs, a sketch will be designed exclusively for you. A second appointment will be booked and during this meeting you will approve the design and make any changes if required. We will also show you swatches of fabrics among which we will choose the perfect ones for your dress.
Pattern Cutting
Once the design is finalised and the fabrics are chosen, our atelier will make your pattern, based only on your measurements, and the fabrics for your dress will be cut.
First Fitting
When the fabric is shaped in your dress, you will be invited for the first fitting. This fitting is always very exciting because you will see your dreaming dress for the very first time. At this stage the dress in not finalized jet, this will give us room for few more alterations if needed, but it will give you a pretty clear idea of how the dress will look like once completed.
Final Fitting
Your unique dress is now complete and ready for you to hold the final fitting. Our seamstresses employ their best expertise and experience to fulfil the finer details for your dress. Totally bespoke, the hand-crafted garment can take from 50 to 1000 hours to create.
