The dress in your head doesn't exist yet. Let's fix that.
Bring us a photo, a feeling, a Pinterest board, or just words. Our designer draws it from scratch — no base style required, no limits. You approve every line before we cut a single centimeter of fabric.
Start with a sketch — €69 →You see every step before it ships
No production photos? Not here. You approve the sketch, then watch your gown take shape — fabric, fitting, finishing — before it leaves the atelier.
You share your vision, photos and references. We listen, ask questions and understand your style.
Your designer draws a custom sketch and selects fabric options. €69 · sketch + consultation.
We send a full measurement guide for your professional tailor to take — bust, waist, hips, height. Self-measuring isn't accepted; your fit depends on getting these numbers right.
Your pattern is drafted by hand. Every seam sewn in Ansignan — no factory, no shortcuts.
For complex gowns, a muslin mock-up is made first. You see the shape before we cut the real fabric.
Beading, lace, rope trim, buttons — every decorative element added by hand at this stage.
The finished gown is steamed and photographed. You see it before it ships — you give the green light.
Packed with care, shipped UPS with duties pre-paid. Arrives at your door — nothing owed.
Worn down the aisle, worldwide
"The sketch looked like a photo of the dress I'd pictured for years. Then the real thing arrived and somehow it was better."
"I was terrified of ordering a custom dress online. The photos at every stage are what made me trust them completely."
"No hidden fees, no customs bill at the door. The price they quoted was the price I paid. Rare these days."
Things brides always ask
How do I get my measurements right?
Your measurements must be taken by a professional tailor or seamstress — not self-measured. This is a firm requirement, since the fit depends entirely on the precision of these numbers. We send a full measurement guide for your tailor to follow, and you send the finished numbers back to us.
What if the dress doesn't fit when it arrives?
We make each gown to the measurements your professional tailor provides, not standard sizing, so major fit issues are rare when those measurements are accurate. Because every gown is cut specifically for you, we're not able to cover local alteration costs — which is exactly why we require a tailor's measurements rather than a self-measurement, to get the fit right the first time.
Will I have to pay customs or import duties?
No. Every order ships DDP — Delivered Duty Paid. We pay all US import duties before your package leaves France. The price we quote is the price you pay, period.
Can I see the dress before it ships?
Yes — that's part of our process. We photograph your gown at every stage: fabric cut, first fitting on the dress form, finished before pressing. We don't send anything without your green light.
How long does a custom gown take?
Production takes 10–12 weeks from sketch approval. We recommend ordering at least 6 months before your wedding — that's our no-surcharge window. Need it sooner? Inside 6 months, a rush surcharge applies on a sliding scale up to €1,500 at our 3-month floor, agreed with you before we start. We don't accept orders inside 3 months.
What does the +€500 customization actually include?
Everything. Change the neckline, back design, sleeve length, fabric color, train length — or combine elements from different styles. Your designer sketches the result before we cut anything.
