The pics show two of our most amazing recent dresses.
We can make almost anything—–and we are never too afraid to fly head first into the face of the unknown—–at least when it comes to dressmaking.
So we wanted to make a dress that symbolized the superhero spirit!
The first dress (in most of the pics) is cut from a gorgeous silk duppioni fabric in black and then hand-painted with metallic silver and gold paint and fluorescent sign painter’s enamel in neon pink.
The paint makes the dress literally glow in certain lights.
Under blacklight, the dress is almost shocking.
The dress has a 1950s style ball gown shape that can be worn bustled or let down for a full train.
It is cut with pleats at the front and side and a princess line in the front.
Of course, this is only one example of a dress that we can make.
We design each dress from scratch for each customer.
And we work with you to bring out and express your inner super powers.
When a client contacts us to order a dress, we talk with her about the styles that she loves and the life that she lives, and then we start sketching until we get a style that is exactly what she loves.
Then we draft a pattern from scratch that is exactly to her measurements.
Store-bought dresses start out as a B-cup and then need to be altered to fit.
Our dresses start out as a cotton muslin which we mail to you to try on. You send us digital pics and comments and we alter the patterns to capture exactly the right fit and style.
Finally, we make a dress that is designed from top to bottom to fit your body and style.
The final few pics show a second version of this dress that we made for a client.
This dress is cut from 3 tones of silk duppioni for a similar look that isn’t quite as shocking.
If you are looking for a wedding dress, the best way to get in touch is to send us an email.
You can write Lianna at superhero@vigilantelabs.com to talk more.
We would love to get started designing the perfect thing for you.
