This fitted graduated mermaid (or fit-to-flair) shaped gown is a bombshell! It looks great on a variety of body types, and highlights feminine curves. Fabric is our Silk Hemp, with accents in Chantilly lace and Organic Cotton Voile. The neckline is a sweetheart shape, with a dramatic low V back that dips to the waistline. Sheer lace straps add support and comfort, and the neckline is edges in lace for a soft finish. There is a lace accent at the waist (belt sows in some photos is not included), as well as along the V-shaped cotton inserts in the skirt, which allow the colored tulle under the dress to subtly show through and for a great "swish" when you walk! Under tulle shown in pink, but we can make it any color you prefer… our favorites are pink, aqua, and champagne. Organic Cotton Voile Lining and horsehair braid edging on inner side of Voile skirt overlay to support the hem shape.

Our Unique Custom Process:
We will choose fabrics, determine every detail of your custom design, create your “Working Gown Sketch” in pencil, mail you fabric swatches, and take your measurements.
Once we have chosen all of the elements of your dress, we’ll give you an estimated custom quote, usually within $100-200 of the final price. We’ll be finalizing your exact cost after the consultation, when we can estimate the sewing time, fabric yardage, etc. more precisely.
Due to high demand, we are only able to create our hand-drawn custom gown sketch for serious inquiries, and require a deposit of $50, which applies to your initial gown deposit. See "Custom Gown Sketch Deposit" Listing
Your Perfect Fit
Having your wedding gown custom made is great for Every BODY (including hard-to-fit sized not typically served by off-the-rack gowns, like plus sizes, petites, etc.) since each dress is made-to-measure. We'll send you a detailed measurement sheet with instructions to fill out.
When to Order
Due to the intensive process of hand-making each special gown and our limited production capacity, we advise brides to order 1.5 years- 6 months BEFORE their wedding date. The earlier you order, the earlier you get the dress! We sometimes can rush orders with shorter timelines– contact us for availability.
Your Gown is handmade in-house
Your authentic gown pattern and dress will be created, and your gown will be sewn using expert couture techniques by our small team.
Fittings
Your gown pricing includes fittings to perfection if visiting our Studio outside of KC. Please let us know if you'll be visiting at the time of your order.
Then it’s time to rock that aisle, girl!
Note: We can take inspiration from other dress designs, but out of respect to other designers and laws we never exactly copy dresses by other designers.
