Handmade gowns are, and should be, truly special and unique. Having a piece of clothing handmade means that you will never be at an event or gala and see anyone else wearing the gown you’ve chosen.

A handmade gown also gives you the freedom to bring your own vision to life and take part in designing a gown that inspires you, makes you feel your best, and accentuates your definitive personality.

Gowns can be worn for various occasions from formal to informal. Whether you’re attending fashion week in New York, hosting your daughter’s quinceanera or want to have the most glamorous dress at your son’s wedding, you can’t go wrong with a custom dress, designed just for you. Having them handmade makes them feel much more special and personal, which will make you feel your true and best self.

That being said, here are all of the reasons why a handmade gown is a perfect option for any special occasion.

1.Perfect Fit

The best thing about ordering a handmade gown is that it will fit like a second skin. They are made to your exact measurements and specifications. Our world class designers will tailor the gown to your body, to ensure that it fits exactly how you want it to. Or, to accentuate your figure to feel your very best on the big day.

Should the final product not fit exactly how you envisioned, then the gown can easily be adjusted to ensure that it fits perfectly. Commissioning an experienced designer will ensure that the gown and its appearance aren’t altered should the size and shape need altering.

Handmade dresses that are made to measure will always fit perfectly when they arrive. With the right measurements given to our designer, we will ensure to meet those measurements and make your gown fit exactly how you want it to fit.

With a handmade gown, you have the ability to custom size any part you wish; maybe you want the front to hug your curves but hide your problem areas, or maybe you want it tighter around your waistline and flow over your hips; our process makes every detail possible. With your input and measurements, your gown will be even more beautiful and chic than you envisioned.

2. Comfort

As well as attaining the perfect fit, a handmade gown can also offer added comfort over an off-the-rack dress. You have the unique ability to choose precisely how you want it to fit. For example, you might like a tighter waist and looser off the shoulder top, which would be a difficult task in pre-made gowns. Well, without hiring someone to alter the entire dress, which could change the overall appearance of your gown.

A custom-made gown will also ensure that you can choose any and all of the fabrics in the construction of the dress. Instead of settling for a dress that feels uncomfortable against your skin, you can choose your favorite fabric(s) and wear a gown that makes you look good and feel the most comfortable.

3. Be Unique 

Modern dresses or traditional dresses? That is a question that every individual will answer differently. Therefore, it is a great benefit to be able to choose a unique design to create the perfect gown for you. You can choose a mixture of both modern and traditional designs, or choose just one. Our designers are up to date on the latest styles and trends, should you need professional advice.

Furthermore, as we mentioned previously, you have the ability to choose the materials, colors, and more for the design of your handmade gown. You could have it simple and focus on the fabric and shape of the dress itself. Or, perhaps you want to focus more on the exterior design and want to add unique patterns or personal touches, which you will not see on any other gown. The sky's the limit when commissioning a handmade gown.

Creating a handmade gown with an expert will ensure that you can achieve the most intricate or simple design you wish.

4. One of a Kind

Having a gown handmade for you is a truly one of a kind experience. You can tell the designer your ideas and they can create various versions of those suggestions. From there, you can tweak and adjust certain aspects to ensure that the creation of the gown will align with your vision. A handmade gown gives you the ability to input into every aspect of the gown, from its shape and length to its design and fabrics.

5. Ultimate Control

Speaking of having your say in the design and creation of the gown, this is another integral reason why a handmade gown is an ideal option.

You can control everything from its lining and design to its neckline and length. You can be picky so that it is 100% perfect for your vision, shape, style, size, and more.

Having more control over your handmade dresses will ensure that no matter what occasion you want a gown for, you can always ensure that it will fit, look, and feel exactly how you want it to. You will surely feel and look your very and be the only one at the event wearing that signature design.

6. Better Prices

The fashion market is constantly hiking up its prices. However, handmade designers often do not. Or, they keep their prices low to stay competitive and fair.

Hence, creating a handmade gown will ensure that you do not pay ridiculous and exorbitant prices for something that is made by a machine en masse. Additionally, you might overpay for the fabrics and labor, as you won’t know the gown's story and manufacturing process.

At the very least, with a handmade gown, you will know every step of its journey and be able to justify its price, even if it is more expensive. You will know the exact fabrics that have been used, the handmade design efforts that have gone into the gown, and also know its journey. Hence, you will be the right price and not be overcharged.
