Long Sleeve Wedding Dresses in
Cape Town

Cape Town brides come to us for something that isn't in the Bree Street windows. We build one gown, cut to one body, with a fitting rhythm designed around a single trip north — or none at all, if you'd rather we come to you.

A long sleeve wedding dress for Cape Town

A sleeve is the single detail most likely to be uncomfortable, because ready-made sleeves are cut to an average arm and set into an average shoulder. Yours is neither. If you cannot raise your arms to hug someone without the whole bodice lifting, the sleeve is wrong.

We measure the shoulder point, bicep, elbow and wrist separately and set the sleeve head with an easement that allows full movement. Illusion sleeves are cut from the same lace family as the bodice so the transition disappears in photographs.

Detachable sleeves are a good idea only when the bodice is finished to be worn without them. We finish both states.

Fittings from Cape Town

Cape Town brides work with us remotely and comfortably: a video consultation to begin, a measurement appointment with a local seamstress we brief directly, a toile posted to you for a photographed fit check, then two refinement rounds before the finished gown is couriered to Cape Town with a steaming and dressing guide. Brides who prefer to visit the Windhoek atelier condense the process into two unhurried trips.
