Silk And Chantilly Lace Gown
This special custom gown we just made for Carly is romantic and elegant… photos of her in it coming soon! Her gown is created in Silk Hemp (shiny side out) combined with Organic Cotton Voile, Chantilly Lace, and Beaded embellishments. The bodice of her gown is structured and strapless, with a sweetheart neckline and low V back that reaches the waistline, in Silk Hemp fabric. Over the inner bodice is an overlay of sheer Cotton Voile that is rushed in a bust-flattering accent. Adding a feminine soft edging to the neckline is a trim of Chantilly lace, which is also used to create tapered sheer straps, which she ended up changing to a lace halter at her fitting. Centered at the natural waist, a satin ribbon ads contrast, and is layered in front of a wide lace accent at the waistline. Below the natural waist, a Silk/Hemp skirt with fitted princess seams extends to the floor, with a sheath shape and slit in back for easy movement. Extending from above the knee, an overlay of Cotton Voile comes from a triangle-shaped seam (seam covered with Chantilly lace) in a flowey, loose cut to the floor and into a small sweep train. Champagne lace trim is use to finish the edge of this whimsical overlay piece Train bustles up for the reception. Fabric covered buttons accent the zipper up the back of the gown. Gown is fully lined with the Cotton Voile for comfort.

Our Unique Custom Process:
- Complimentary “Dream Dress Discussion”
First, set up your free designer consultation at our Mission, Kansas Studio or via Skype to co-design the all of the elements of your dress. It is helpful to have a few pictures of styles that you like… It’s all about you!
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.
- Finalize Design
After our “Dream Dress Discussion” we will hand-draw a “Fancy Gown Sketch” in pen for you, reflecting all of the elements we choose together at our first meeting. We’ll factor-in all of the costs and create your “Custom Proposal”.
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.
