Your gown is one of the most personal and symbolic parts of your wedding day. At Ivory & Main, our custom design studio offers brides the unique opportunity to bring their dream wedding dress to life. With the help of our skilled tailor, we take the stress out of finding the perfect dress by allowing you to design something one-of-a-kind that complements your unique beauty. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider a custom wedding gown for your special day:


1. Personalized Fit and Design

One of the biggest challenges for many brides is finding a dress that fits perfectly. Even when you order a dress based on a designer’s size chart, oftentimes alterations still need to be made. A custom gown from Ivory & Main is tailored specifically to your measurements, eliminating the need for major alterations. You have full control over every detail, from choosing the fabric to designing a silhouette that flatters your body. Whether you’re envisioning a sleek satin dress or a flowy chiffon gown, our custom studio ensures your dress will fit like a glove and highlight your best features.


2. The Ultimate Expression of Your Style

Your wedding dress should be an extension of your personal style. A custom gown offers endless possibilities to express your individuality. From intricate lace detailing to dramatic trains, every aspect of the design is curated to fit your vision. You’re not confined to traditional styles or the latest trends; instead, you can blend different elements to create something timeless and personal. Whether you want a traditional ball gown with a modern twist or a dress that breaks all the rules, our design studio will help you bring your ideas to life. Custom dress designs allow you to include elements that may not be available in off-the-rack options, such as unique colors and bold necklines.


3. Incorporate Sentimental Heirloom Pieces

Looking for a way to include "something old" in your wedding? Incorporating fabric or embellishments from a family heirloom is a thoughtful way to carry on family traditions while creating a modern and stylish look. Our tailor can skillfully integrate sentimental elements like lace, buttons, or fabric into your new gown, adding a special touch that connects generations. Whether it’s something as subtle as lace from a family veil or a more prominent feature like fabric from a vintage gown, your custom wedding dress can carry a story that is meaningful and unique to your family.


4. A One-of-a-Kind Experience

Buying an off-the-rack dress can sometimes feel impersonal or rushed, especially during busy bridal shopping seasons. At Ivory & Main’s custom design studio, you’ll receive a personalized, one-on-one experience with our expert tailor. From your initial consultation to your final fitting, every step is tailored to ensure your vision comes to life. This process allows you to be part of the creation of your dream gown, and you'll have the joy of seeing it come together from start to finish. Not only does this ensure your dress is exactly what you want, but it also creates a lasting memory of the entire wedding planning journey.


 

With a custom gown, you’re not just wearing a dress, but a personal story woven into every stitch. At Ivory & Main, we believe every bride deserves a gown that celebrates her individuality and beauty. Our custom design studio offers brides a chance to break free from the limitations of off-the-rack dresses and create something truly special. Whether you’re looking to incorporate family heirlooms, showcase your unique style, or simply ensure a perfect fit, our expert team is here to bring your dream wedding dress to life.
