Session 1
the prototype
During the first session, we start with a toile in a simple fabric — a crucial stage in the process of creating a custom wedding dress.
On this toile, we can precisely assess lines, volumes, and proportions. We use markers to draw desired adjustments — for example, a waist that should be slightly higher or lower, a neckline that can be deepened further, or a new shape for the back.
This allows us to safely experiment with all creative and technical choices. Only when the toile perfectly matches the client's wishes do we incorporate all corrections into the patterns. After that, the dress is created for the first time in the actual, luxurious fabric — perfectly fitting in fit, balance, and appearance.
This creative try-out is often a special and inspiring moment where the design further evolves towards your dream dress.
Around this stage, it's also important to start thinking about your shoes. We are happy to advise you and, if desired, can have bridal shoes delivered to the store "on approval," so you can try on different styles and heel heights that match your unique wedding dress.
session 2
the first time in the actual fabric
In the second fitting, you'll see your dress for the first time in the actual fabric – an exciting and special moment in the process of having a unique couture wedding dress made. The dress really starts to come to life now and is shaped and refined step by step, like a sculpture gradually approaching its final form.
For this fitting, it is important that you bring your shoes – or at least the correct heel height. In this phase, we precisely pin the length of your dress so that the fit and proportion perfectly match your silhouette. We deliberately leave some details open so that we can further develop creative choices as your dress becomes increasingly "real."
session 3
Refinement, finishing touches & your complete bridal look
In the third session, your custom wedding dress is almost complete. All fabrics, layers, and details have now been brought together, allowing you to see the dress as a fully realized piece for the first time. This phase is all about refinement and perfection — subtle nuances and finishes that we meticulously fine-tune, because couture is all about the detail.
During this fitting, we also look at your overall bridal look. Together, we consider how accessories — such as your veil, jewelry, and shoes — best complement the style and essence of your unique wedding dress. This is where everything comes together: the dress, your personality, and your radiance on the day itself.
session 4
De finishing touch
In the fourth session, your dress can be completely finished. Sometimes we perfect one small detail – for example, a strap or a fit point that needs to be a bit more precise. In some cases, we schedule another short final appointment afterward, but often your custom-made wedding dress is ready after this session.
You can take your dress with you immediately, or use our storage service. In that case, your dress will safely remain with us until about a month and a half before the wedding. You will then come by again for a final fitting so that we can check if any size differences have occurred.
YOU'RE READY TO SHINE!
