Has anyone had their dress made for them (custom or even based on a picture)? Is this a simple dress to make?

Ashley, on January 7, 2023 at 7:08 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

I ordered it about 3 months ago and have a less than 2 months before my wedding. I guess I'm just nervous because if it doesn't come out how I want it there's no time to order something else. What makes me feel a little better is I think it's a pretty simple design that shouldn't be too hard for them to get right but would appreciate some second opinions. I'm including pictures of my deign below.

The neckline and top part of this dress:

Fitted sleeves instead of puffy like this:

And a sheath skirt with a slit like this one:

A long train:

And for the whole dress to be made in this lined beaded fabric:

    I had 2 custom made. Both were way more intricate than yours and both were done in less than three months. If you chose a talented, reputable dressmaker, then I wouldn’t worry. The only way I would be really concerned is if it was coming from a Chinese dressmaker or something like that. Has the seamstress given you an ETA on when it will be done? Did you tell them you would like extra time for alterations, in case they are needed?

    My ETA isn't until next week. I brought up time for alterations and was told that I'm good as long as I have a week someone will do them. How did your dresses turn out? Where they what you were expecting or different?

    One was done by an out of state dress maker and ended up needing quite a bit of alterations (and still wasn’t quite perfect even after the alterations). The other was done by a dress maker a couple hours from me, so she was able to tailor it to my body during the process, and it turned out perfectly

    Yes! And I'm in the same waiting boat as you! Mine should be ready in a couple weeks, I think. I'll have to check how long it's been. I got a back up dress just in case so I'm pretty chill about the whole thing. There are a few sites you could still order a backup dress from, mine came in super fast! Look into it so you can relax!
