Custom Work

I believe your wedding dress should make you feel confident, gorgeous, and—most importantly—like yourself. Sometimes, that means making small customizations. Whether it’s adding a touch of lace and sparkle, adjusting the neckline, lining the bodice, or creating the perfect sleeve, I’m here to bring your ideas to life.

Sleeves

CUSTOM SLEEVES

Adding Sleeves to a Strapless Dress

Adding Sleeves to a Existing Strap

Sleeves can be added to any dress. I recommend ordering materials through your bridal boutique to ensure a perfect match to your dress. However, if needed, I can always find similar fabrics and lace during the alterations process.

Don't forget to order these for your fitted full length sleeves:

- 2 yards of matching fabric

- 10-12 buttons for wrist closure

- matching lace or beading

CUSTOM STRAPS

Updating Straps

permanent or detachable with snaps

Changing the straps on your dress is a great way to provide both comfort and support on your big day. Whether you prefer delicate spaghetti straps, a wider, more structured strap, or a soft, unstructured raw lace edge

CUSTOM BACKS

Adding Back Panels

improves fit & customizes your look

Updating the back of your dress can enhance both support and comfort. It's also a wonderful opportunity to add personal touches that make your dress truly unique.

CORSETS

Waist Stays

Many brides want to feel "snatched" on their wedding day, but some dress fabrics are too delicate to withstand too much strain. An internal waist stay is a great way to provide support and help you feel secure, even with weight fluctuations. It also alleviates the pressure from heavy ballgowns, ensuring comfort throughout the day.

ADDING A SLIT

If there isn't an existing seam where you'd like the slit, no problem—we can still add one! Keep in mind, this may make the slit more visible depending on your dress’s silhouette, pattern, and any skirt ruching at the waist. I’ll work with you to ensure the slit flows naturally with the design.

CHANGING YOUR
LINER COLOR

Just because it's a wedding dress,

doesn't mean it has to be white!

ADDING LACE
TO YOUR TRAIN

For a truly unique touch, you can add lace directly to the top of your train or incorporate dramatic cut-outs to create a striking effect. I’ll help you design the perfect details that enhance your dress as you walk down the aisle.

ADDING LACE
TO YOUR NECKLINE

Let’s talk cleavage! Sometimes you love it, sometimes you want a bit more coverage.

If you like a “soft” or more “raw” lace edge - adding lace to your neckline is an easy solution! If you didn’t order additional lace, we will take some lace from your train or hem.
