What is Haute Couture, the stages & advantages?

Direct meaning from France in the 1920’s, is the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes
to a client’s specific requirements and measurements, using intricate craftsmanship.

Provided you have the budget, couture gowns will always be superior in every way when compared to off-the-rack / ready-to-wear dresses.

For example, when completed it will fit perfectly to your body shape and you will see the gown being made on you in set stages and have the opportunity to make progressive changes along the way.

Any idea, picture, sketch or concept can be created as a personalised piece, just for you, a design that represents your personality and the theme of the wedding, unlike a ready-to-wear dress.

At Personalised Weddings, a contract will be drawn up for you, so you can be rest assured that everything is put in writing to safe guard you with your purchase and have peace of mind.

Fabrics, colours, styles will be shown to help in the creation of a style of dress that is within your budget & the one of your dreams.

Your initial consultation with Personalised Weddings will be to try on a selected number of the sample dresses that suit your body shape, as shown below and at least 5 fittings.

Your first fitting will be to try on your calico which is a cheaper toile fabric to ensure the creation is of the correct style, a 3D draft of your dress.

The necessary adjustments will be pinned and transferred onto the pattern.

 
 
Your second fitting will entail your first glimpse of the what the bodice of the dress will look like.

Your third fitting, for example, might have lace implemented to the design. 

Around the fourth fitting you will have a shell of what the skirt will actually look like.

This is the start of the exciting stages as you actual see the dress taking shape.

By the fifth visit the dress would have been nearly completed with only minor adjustments to be made, if any & the hem cut to the appropriate shoe height. 

 Buttons added and veil plus accessories chosen.

As you can see with Tiffani Wood, her dress was a working progress & transformed into
a masterpiece of the finest couture craftsmanship, not to mention she was a darling to work with!
