Satin Wedding Dresses
made to measure
Satin comes in two personalities. Duchesse holds architecture and gives you a sculpted gown; slipper and liquid satin pour over the body and forgive nothing. Choosing between them is the single biggest decision in a satin commission.
How we cut it
Liquid satin is cut on the bias, hung for days before hemming so the fabric can drop, and seamed with a fine needle to avoid puckering. Duchesse is underlined and pressed over a tailor's ham so every curve is set rather than folded.
Evening weddings, modern venues and photographs that rely on light rather than texture.
Bias satin shows every foundation line. We fit it with the underwear you'll wear on the day.
