Each unique gown begins with a consultation that enables you to discuss your requirements. The most important of these are perhaps the most simple:
- What type of dress do you want?
- Do you have a theme?
- What time of year is the wedding?
- Where is the wedding to be held?
» Paul will then discuss each aspect with you, so that he is able to create an individual gown that will be 'just right' for you!
Once an idea has been discussed, Paul will show you fabrics and colour swatches, as well as samples of beading and lace trims. Each aspect of the gown is chosen piece by piece, so that it compliments your unique style.
Paul will then sketch your dress, so that you can see the design, as it will look in reality. » The next stage is to be measured, so that a pattern can be made for your individual dress. A calico 'toile' is then prepared, for the first step of the fitting process.
Only once the toile is correct is the gown itself begun.
There are usually three fittings required and at each fitting all details are checked and adjusted, to ensure that the end result is perfect!
