Why Custom-Made?
Once you’ve chosen your design, your gown will be custom-made for you. Why is this important? You already know that with a custom gown, you get to choose every detail of your gown - you won’t find that at any regular bridal salon. But did you know that the fit of your clothing, especially formal clothing, makes the difference between pretty and breathtaking?
Think of your favorite clothes in your closet. When you put them on, do you feel slim, shapely, chic? Clothing that makes us feel that way because it fits our unique shape! It reveals our advantages and secrets away any imperfections.
This is doubly true for your bridal gown. With no way to “cheat” good fit through stretch fabrics or adjustable details, your bridal gown must fit you perfectly. After all, what good is a beautiful, figure-flattering design, if your gown puckers, pinches or slips?
Your custom gown will fit smoothly and flawlessly, so your figure looks its most attractive and elegant. An expertly-made custom gown will flatter your figure in a way no factory-size gown ever can, even with the most expert alterations (learn why). We’re sure you’ll be astonished at how beautiful your custom-constructed, custom-designed gown will look on you. Brides of all sizes and shapes often confide in us that they’ve never seen themselves look so lovely!
At As You Like It, we are expert designers and dressmakers with over 17 years of experience and professional training. We will create your gown using the same standards and techniques found only in couture fashion houses. Our custom patterning and fitting techniques are the very finest and most modern. All this shows in the flawless results enjoyed by our happy brides! (Please feel free to ask our brides about their experiences with us.)
