A Bride's Guide to Working With Independent Wedding Dress Designers

By Jose Evans


A woman's wedding day can be a time when dreams come true. Many brides think long and hard about what they will wear when they walk down the aisle. When it comes time to find a dress, however, they may not find something that measures up to their vision. Independent wedding dress designers can help bring a woman's vision to life. Working with a designer can be a bit different than visiting a bridal salon. Here is what to expect if you do decide to have a custom gown on your big day.

You may want to make a few decisions before you start searching for someone to make your dress. For example, how formal do you want your wedding to be? This can affect the style you pick. Time of year and location will also potentially affect your choice as well although this is not always the case.

Setting a budget for your outfit will also be important. Keep in mind that a completely original design may end up costing you more especially if the designer is creating something especially for you. It may still be possible for you to find someone to design a gown within your budget but you may need to compromise on materials or other details.

Of course, most designers will want to know what kind of gown you would like to wear. There are many different dress styles. A designer may also ask you about other aspects of your life that have little or nothing to do with the event itself. They may want to get a feel for you as a person so that they can create a meaningful design.

If it is critical to you that you try on a gown you may want to look for designers that work from dress components. They will often have a number of different tops, skirts and sleeves for you to mix and match. Once you have found the combination that works well for you your custom dress will be created.

You should be prepared to start the design process quite a while in advance. Often, a designer will need time to create a sketch. Once the basic design has been determined, a working pattern will be created and the gown will end up being made from the working pattern. The final dress will need fittings and alterations to ensure that it looks perfect on your wedding day. All of these steps can take time and you need to factor that in to your plans.

Of course, not every city will have independent designers. Even if there is a seamstress in your town or city they may not design clothing. Also, bridal garments can be quite specialized and not every designer will have experience working in this area.

While it can be easier to simply go with a pre-made gown for your special day, it is not the right choice for every bride. If you want to make sure that your outfit looks completely unique and unlike anything that has been seen before, an independent designer can help you. Look online for names and contact information and make sure you read customer reviews to make sure you are working with someone that has the talent and experience to make your wedding dreams come true.
