Custom Wedding Dress Patterns
Tips on custom-making your wedding dress.
Finding a perfect wedding dress may not be as easy as you would think. You may like the neckline on one dress but the straps on another dress. You adore the fabric on one wedding dress and the skirt on yet another wedding gown. In fact, you can combine these designs into one unique and perfect wedding gown having made a custom-measured wedding dress pattern of your ideal wedding dress.
When you create your own wedding dress pattern, you get a haute couture wedding dress for a fraction of the cost. You choose the fabric and can have anything from duchesse silk to satin. You have an opportunity to make the wedding dress pattern more personal by having a friend or family member make the wedding dress pattern for you without having to compromise on design. Made to measure fit ensures that the wedding dress pattern is individually drafted to your measurements by hand (not computer), using a hand tailoring drafting technique.
As a general guideline, designing the wedding dress pattern can take anything from a week (if the bride knows exactly what she wants) to two months.
Advice on selecting a fabric for your wedding dress pattern:
Brocade features interwoven, raised designs, characterized by a satin weave background, using one or more fillings to create the motif or artwork within the fabric.
Chiffon is a delicately sheer fabric with a simple weave. It is lightweight with a soft drapable finish.
Eyelet lace is identified with its small, unsymmetrical holes or perforations finished with a buttonhole stitch, often creating a floral pattern. It has also been described as an open weave embroidery.
Faille is a shiny, tightly woven fabric made of silk or rayon and has a crosswise rib effect.
Moire is generally made of a polyester or silk taffeta patterned to glisten like water when seen in defused light.
Point d' espritis a polyester net with the yarns sewn together in such a way as to create a diamond pattern
Organza is a transparent, simply woven fabric with a reflective, crystal-like appearance.
Satin is an opaque fabric, woven in a satin weave and features a smooth finish.
Italian Satin is a heavier satin fabric, brimming with body, featuring an antique sheen.
Taffeta is a popular wedding fabric, which may be used as the lining or outer fabric of a gown. It will have either a matte or shiny finish and will be stiff when used for the outer layer.
Tulle is tiny, meshed net of a silk, cotton or synthetic fabric, usually found in layers, covering a full satin skirt.
