STEP 1
INQUIRE
Send in your inspiration pictures and book your consultation. You will be sent a detailed Custom Dress Guide to look through before coming in. Our suburban Chicago studio offers a private atmosphere and relaxed experience.
Agadesal does not reproduce existing designs. When you order from me, you will receive a one-of-a-kind dress specifically built for you.
Custom wedding gowns are $3,000+. Fabric, fit specifications, and overall design affect price.
STEP 2
DESIGN EDIT, MEASUREMENTS & FABRIC SOURCING
When you book a consultation with me, I treat it as an opportunity to get to know each other and understand exactly what you are envisioning for your custom bridal gown. Following your consultation, you will receive a detailed Design Brief for your review. We also take 30+ measurements of the body to ensure that the dress fits like a glove and begin finalizing fabric choices.
STEP 3
PROTOTYPE ADJUSTMENTS & GOWN PRODUCTION
Once your measurements are taken, I will create a prototype of your wedding dress to perfect the fit, style lines, and all relevant design details. This framework will be used to construct your wedding gown.
