We love to make retro and mod dresses.
We can make dresses in pretty much any style and any length, but lots of our clients recently have contacted us looking for tea length dresses that have a bit of vintage flare.
This dress in a stunning blush pink is cut from an amazing vintage beaded lace with satin underlayer. We also made a faux fur capelet to add to the look.
Versus shopping at your average bridal store, our process is quite a change of pace.
The catalog of dresses that we can make covers every style from every era. We have hundreds of fashion books with thousands and thousands of plates that serve as inspiration for our styles. 
We invite you to be inspired by dresses that you have seen in movies, by your own life, and by nature as we work with you to sketch the perfect dress for you and your style.
The sketches show two of our initial ideas for the dress that were eventually refined into the dress you see in the pictures. We chose the fabric from thousands of possibilities.
Next we bring the dress to life in the form of a cotton muslin. This is a rough draft of the dress that we sew. If you are an international customer or are located far from Denver, we mail this to you and ask for photographs of you wearing it. If you are in Denver or close by, we can fit this on you in person.
The result is a dress that is originally cut to fit your body and style. 
Not a dress that sort of fits and that you have to hire an “alteration specialist” to make work.
We are one of the only studios in the US that offers this type of full couture process with infinite possibility and unique paper patterns drafted in your size.
Fabrics can cost any amount (especially beaded laces!). But for the most part our dresses are much less expensive than comparable ready made dresses and you won’t need to pay extra to have the dress altered or bustled. A perfect fit is guaranteed.

We are a small couture studio that makes wonderful custom dresses for customers across the world.
