About

SHEILA FRANK founder was born in the suburbs of Philadelphia and relocated to Central Pennsylvania in her teens. Named after her maiden name, Sheila studied dance for two decades where she fell in love with Costume & Design.

Sheila interned for Charlotte Ronson, NYC and graduated from Moore College of Art & Design, Philadelphia with a BFA in Fashion Design. As an artist, fashion is her medium and Sheila carefully involves herself in every step of the design process from concept to construction. Sheila has designed RTW, swimwear and dancewear but has completely fallen in love with Bridal. Sheila began working in the bridal market by creating custom dresses for her friends which allowed her to build a private clientele.

Sheila believes in quality over quantity and is interested in creating a sustainable business. Sheila’s intention is to create social and environmental change. The collections are made to order and not mass produced in order to reduce waste. The collections are available at the showroom, online and trunk shows across the US.

Sheila is amazing to work with!! She made my dream dress a reality and her creativity added elements I would not have thought of on my own. She worked with me when I second guessed my own ideas and gave me options that I would never have thought possible. I now have a dress no one else could ever buy off the rack, it's truly one of a kind and 100% me and that is something I will cherish forever

Sheila was fantastic from beginning to end! I was a little nervous having my wedding dress custom made, but Sheila put my mind at ease right away. She listened to my input and recommended some great ideas. She was very easy to work with and I highly recommend her. My wedding dress turned out even more amazing than I imagined.

I am beyond empressed with Sheila and Nicole. They both were very accommodating, professional, and super nice! I would highly recommend anyone needing alterations to come here! I have seen some of Sheila's one of a kind designs and finished pieces and they are gorgeous! If you haven't checked her and her business out yet, you are missing out!

Sheila was a former manager of mine at Wet Seal and was just starting out her career in fashion. Since then she has taken off and has made gorgeous and meaningful dresses for many brides. My mom and I got back in touch with Sheila when I knew I was getting married and at first, reached out to her just about altering a dress I have bought online so it fit my body better. Sadly, my grandmother passed away in April, so after finding her 58 year old wedding dress, I decided I wanted to wear part of it. I gave Sheila both of my dresses and we decided to put them together. I never envisioned what my wedding dress would look like, so I let Sheila take lead on it. Sheila knew I was a lover of Disney, so she designed a princess dress right away. I loved the sketch of course, but the finished product was more than I expected. My dress was one of a kind and definitely something from a fairytale. Throughout the process Sheila was so enthusiastic and excited and did everything she could to make the dress as beautiful as it could be. She used my grandmother's lace and part of her dress for parts of mind and if turned out to be magical. Thank you so much for putting so much time, thought, love, and emotion into my wedding dress!!

I recently had a Toggle Coat altered by Sheila Frank. Nicole, part of the Sheila Frank team, did an amazing job! It is perfect! I will definitely be going back to have more items altered.

Sheila was absolutely wonderful and I loved the gown that she designed for my sisters wedding! I have never received so many compliments on a gown that I had worn before. I was just a few months postpartum and Sheila was able to work very quickly in making my gown! It was amazing! Sheila is such a wonderful talent and so kind, it was a true delight working with her! I hope I can make another gown with her in the future!
