Wedding Suits for Women–Custom Made 2- and 3-Piece Suits
We make many suits every year for all occasions. And many of those occasions are the most formal ones. Finding a beautiful wedding dress or evening dress can sometimes be difficult. But if you would prefer to wear a stunning white or black suit? That can feel impossible. In addition to our custom dressmaking shop, [...]
Victorian Wedding Gowns
We make some of the most amazing custom dresses out there. You let us know a bit about yourself and your style and we start sketching. This dress, however, is the one that I have been promising to post for the last few months: My own wedding dress. As a designer and dressmaker, choosing the [...]
1950s Style Wedding and Evening Dresses
1950s style dresses—which are fitted at the waist and full in the skirt—are one of the most flattering silhouettes for all body types and figures. We make a ton of 50s style dresses in all sizes, often for weddings, but also for other formal and semi-formal occasions and for customers in Colorado as well as [...]
Completely Custom (Steampunk!) Wedding Gowns
A custom wedding gown is a different animal from the mere store-bought. It might be strapless–but it doesn’t have to be. It might be white–or gold or silver or pink. It might be a classic style that everyone will love—or something eccentric, bold, utterly simple, or madly embellished. A wedding gown from the store is [...]
Custom Suits and Tuxedos for Women
Every suit that we make is completely custom. We work with you to design something that is exactly right for your taste, body type, lifestyle, and the events that you attend. We make business suits, trendy blazers, Victorian inspired tailcoats, and tuxedos in all women’s sizes. So whether you are looking for a piece for [...]
Designing a Wedding Dress
We are making many wonderful wedding dresses this season, but especially exciting is the dress that I am making for my own wedding. A.J. and I are getting married this summer and are planning our wedding attire. Right now I am in the process of designing my dress. If you order a custom wedding dress, [...]
Handmade Wedding Dresses (in any style)
We make some of the best clothing in the world. One of our specialties is creating unique, custom, handmade wedding attire. Unlike nearly every other bridal shop in this country, we produce our patterns and dresses entirely in house. This means that we can create a dress in any style, with any detail that you [...]
Old Hollywood Wedding Dresses
We handle the attire for so many weddings, some right here in Colorado, and many in places such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Scotland. For some of the weddings, we make the dresses, for some the men’s suits (through our website www.DenverBespoke.com) and for a few we do both the attire for the [...]
Retro Summer Dresses
We love to make 1950s and 1960s style dresses. Some for bridesmaids and summer weddings, some for work, author’s book tours, some for picnics and BBQs. Because everything we do is custom, we can make a dress in any fabric and with any set of details you can imagine. Suppose you see an old newsreel [...]
Picnic and Party Aprons
Spring and summer parties need that outdoor element. Time to head out to the park or the backyard to serve up some gourmet food. I designed this style with the hostess in mind. It is part dress and part apron, simple to slip over jeans or a skirt when the guests start to arrive. The [...]
Retro Cocktail Dresses
You can’t beat the 1960s when it comes to chic streamlined cocktail dresses. A little bit Mad Men, a little bit space age, the A-line dress is the classic silhouette of the 60s. The first dress (in red and black) is cut from a vintage wool handbag fabric. The second dress (with the hand-crafted felt [...]
Retro Party Attire
We made this outfit for a customer in Baltimore who wanted something unique to wear to her brother’s wedding. The corset top is made from a wool herringbone tweed in blues and greys. It is completely structured and shaped. The skirt is made from 100% silk duchess with wide pleats. The whole outfit feels completely [...]
Wedding Dresses in EVERY Size
So you are petite or plus size. That doesn’t mean that you should be stuck with a wedding dress that is anything less than exactly the dress of your dreams. Because we custom make every piece using a unique hand-drafted pattern, we can make a wedding dress that fits you perfectly. Our muslin fitting process [...]
1950s Style Party Dresses
Here are a couple versions of one of the favorite dresses that we have made. It is pure 1950′s but with a few touches that make for a more flattering look that doesn’t require that you wear retro undergarments as well! The sage green dress is made from a rayon crepe that is ultra lightweight, [...]
Denver Fashion (and Wedding) Photography
We started our custom clothing business a few years ago, and, from the very start, we were faced with the challenge of getting good photographs. For a business that sells via the internet, photos often make the difference between whether pieces sell or don’t. But for our business, the challenge is doubly great. Everything we [...]
Lesbian Wedding Suits–Custom Made
Finding a suit for a same sex wedding ceremony can be tough. You can’t get married in a business suit from Macy’s and altering a men’s suit to fit a woman’s body is next to impossible. If you have even a bit of a sense of style, the search for a suit to get married [...]
Custom Capes, Cloaks, and Capelets
We can make pretty much any style of cape or cloak that you would like in just about any color of wool fabric. The pictures show an awesome capelet that we made last winter for a customer with an over-sized hood. The fabric is a red basket weave wool and it is lined in a [...]
The Bustle Skirt
We love Victorian styles. But let’s face it, most of them are just not practical. Could you wear a gown with a bustle to your work, or out to a bar, to a wedding as a guest, or out dancing? Not readily. So how can you bring a little bit of steampunk into your life [...]
Working from Vintage Patterns
We can draft almost anything imaginable and wedding dresses are no exception. But, occasionally, a customer comes to us with a vintage pattern that she wants to see come to life as a modern dress. When we work from a vintage pattern, some modernization is almost certainly necessary. Darts need to be shortened or moved [...]
A Cocktail Wedding Dress and Bolero
We don’t do stock wedding dresses. Because who wants to wear a mass-produced wedding dress? “Mass-produced” and “Wedding,” two things that ought to be mutually exclusive. Instead we ask all about you, your venue, the expected weather. The things that inspire you, whether other designers, movies, or historical periods. And we start sketching until we [...]
Completely Custom Pant
Imagine a pair of pants that fits perfectly on your body…. By making the pants in a cotton muslin first, shipping them to you, and then fine tuning the pattern based on your feedback, I can make a pair of pants that fits as perfectly as any are likely to do in this world. You [...]
Pant and Vest Suits
Sometimes you want to look sharp, distinctive, unique. And there is nothing better than a custom-tailored suit to achieve this look. But women’s suits are usually about half as nice as men’s suits and are cut from cheaper fibers and without the distinctive details. This is especially true if you are outside of stock sizes [...]
Even in Plaid for Swank!
So you want something special this Fall and Winter…. Just write to us and ask. We can make pretty much anything and can make it in your size. When the fit is difficult, we make the jacket in cotton muslin for $100 extra and send that to you for feedback before starting the final piece. [...]
The Redingote
Our coats, handmade in Denver, Colorado, can be customized in every way. You get what you want, the way that you want it whether in wool, leather, corduroy or the fabric of your dreams. Any type of special size, whether plus size or petite is always available. But this is one of our most popular [...]
