inspect it out! This site lets you style your own gown (from a relatively broad design template of silhouettes, necklines, sleeve lengths, as well as skirt lengths), select your fabrics, as well as go into in your measurements! You can even request pockets! then they custom-make your gown as well as send it to you in three weeks. The whole thing costs $189.
I’ve seen this kind of thing for bridesmaids’ gowns before–in truth the designs right here look relatively bridesmaidy–but broadening to day gowns is a excellent idea.
Okay, so I have a few caveats: first, I see that you can pick some materials that aren’t truly excellent for the style of dress. For instance, I might have had this done up in silk chiffon, which I believe would have appeared like crap — not sufficient body, as well as no mention was made from lining when I selected it. It would likewise be much better if you might send them your own fabric, although I’m sure it would be a pain to figure out yardage for private sizes. as well as if this were my site, I would have a page that shows the very best gowns for specific body types: apples vs. pears, tall vs. short, busty vs. not-so, with both line drawings of the different types as well as genuine people using the dresses.
Other than that, though — this looks excellent for people who are difficult to in shape as well as don’t sew themselves. The interface is intuitive and, unlike some other design-it-yourself sites, it didn’t force me to utilize IE, nor did it assault me with a three-minute Flash animation.
The gown on the left is their “Christine,” with the vee-neck altered to a scoop. I have made about ten gowns quite much precisely like this, only with fuller skirts (and no belt) as well as different neckline variations, as well as I wear them continuously in the summer. In fact, I’m planning a white eyelet version for this summertime …
