Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first consultation.

Bridal Gowns in Ramat Gan

How long does it take to make a custom wedding dress?
The design and bespoke tailoring process at the studio takes between one month and six months, depending on the complexity of the design and the bride's schedule. All bridal gowns are built from scratch using free-pattern drafting to your exact measurements.
What's the difference between an off-the-rack wedding dress and a bespoke one?
An off-the-rack dress is manufactured in standard sizes and requires alterations, whereas a bespoke dress is designed from scratch using free-pattern drafting in the studio. Every detail - from the silhouette, through the luxury fabric, to the level of comfort - is precisely tailored to your body shape and the character of the event.
Do you design wedding dresses in plus sizes?
Yes, absolutely. We believe beauty has no size; every dress is built from scratch without standard patterns. We work with all body shapes and ensure a flattering, figure-hugging, and dance-floor-comfortable silhouette.
Can I get a modest wedding dress custom-designed?
Yes, the studio also designs modest bridal gowns. We can incorporate sleeves, higher necklines, and full coverage while maintaining an elegant, modern, fashionable, and unique design line.
What fabrics and design techniques do you use?
I work with natural, synthetic, and luxury fabrics such as silk, tulle, satin, French lace, crepe, chiffon, and organza. Techniques include complex handwork, beading, appliques, soutache, and lorenzo - chosen together with you based on style and season.
Can I order a second bridal dress or a dance-party dress (after party)?
Absolutely. Many brides choose to design a second dress at the studio for dancing - lighter, more comfortable, and shorter, alongside stylish custom after-party dresses.
