Jan.31, 2011 in Wedding Gown

A couture wedding gowns are the alternative to off-the-rack dresses. With couture wedding gowns, a master seamstress will make a pattern for your dress out of muslin. It is at this stage that you can begin to modify the dress to your tastes, your size and your needs. You can raise the neckline, lengthen or shorten the train and even add or take away sleeves. This muslin pattern will be sewn together and fitted to your exact dimensions. The muslin gowns will be created, allowing you to find out how your wedding gown will look and how it will look on you even before a single cut is made in the lace, organza or toile of your final couture wedding gowns. And speaking of fabric, you will have your choice in the fabrics used. Often times, fabrics for a couture wedding gowns are richer than those used in standard gown.
