Speechless and Shedding Tears of Joy |

I'd like to start by saying I studied Fashion Design at the Fashion
Institute of Technology in New York. My "perfect" wedding gown has been
illustrated and designed by me in several sketchbooks and notepads since
I was a child. As fate would have it, my wedding proposal would come
long after a switch in education paths, a busy career in the financial
industry amidst the worst economy experienced by my generation. With no
time to make my own dress and the fear of a $5,000+ pricetag to have it
made, my dreams of that dress were fading, and all I could do was pray.
My prayer was answered when I stumbled upon the Custom Couture website.
After much corresponding with Christianne and speaking to her many times
over the phone, I was confident she knew her stuff. From the details of
fabric weight to beading color and placement, and the dozens of
measurements required, she didn't miss a beat. Although I thought I'd
have difficulty entrusting my dream gown to someone in another country,
Christianne earned my trust, my enthusiasm, and I, the detail-oriented
designer, put the weight of my gown in her brilliant, capable hands.
I received my dress Friday and immediately inspected the construction
details...WOW. My sister and I were amazed at the incredible skill and
impeccable workmanship. But it wasn't until slipped into the gown that I
began to experience the surreal magic. As my sister laced up my corset,
she couldn't stop remarking on the gown's elegant beauty and flawless
structure. And as I slowly turned to face myself in the mirror, the
sight of my dream gown - live and in person - literally took my breath
away. I was breathless with emotion and began to cry. I know she
couldn't hear me way up there in Canada, but I was thanking Christianne
out loud with all of my heart, and I was thanking God for answering my
prayer.
My advice to brides and future Custom Couture clients: look at a lot of
dresses and have a good idea of what you want. If you don't find
pictures that depict exactly what you want, describe it in words, be as
detailed as possible, and discuss it with Christianne. Last but not
least, TRUST HER. She is incredibly talented, professional, and the
entire lovely experience only adds to the magic of your special day.
Remember, this is the most important dress you will ever wear!

OMG. I am both relieved and amazed at how beautifully my dress came out. I can't stop trying it on! It is a mermaid style and fits me well although a touch tight. (I might have pulled the measuring tape a little) It has multiple layers of fabric and stiffiners so it doesn't look tight - more like I lost weight! (woohoo!) I admit I was a nervous wreck while waiting, but it was worth it! If I had only known this would have saved a lot of stress, so this is why I am writing this. You can trust Christianne and her team to take care of everything and to be really nice in the process. I am so thankful because I never would have found the style I was looking for and never at this price. I just wish I had ordered my bridesmaids dresses here too!

I received exactly what I wanted from Custom Couture - an exquisite wedding gown with my own design changes. Fantastic service - nothing was too much trouble, especially given the very reasonable price I paid. I couldn't wait to try it on when it arrived and I stood there crying it was so perfect! My Mum hasn't seen it yet but I'm sure I'll cry all over again when she does. I'm so happy I found you - I'm not sure what else I can say!

Custom Design |

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to in this case. I had a design that I have been wanting for a while sketched out and made. It turned just like I wanted! Even better, actually since the designer had some good recommendations and advice. All the details are perfect, like the beautifully done corset loops that seem very strong to the lining. I was surprised to see that the lining is the same fabric as the dress! My dress both looks and feels amazing to wear. Thank you Christianne for all your patience! I will definitely recommend your company to my friends and send you pictures after my wedding this July. God Bless.

I would recommend this service to EVERYONE who's looking for the perfect dress. I loved that I could pick bits and pieces from other dresses to add to mine, so that it was totally personal. I even received my dress ahead of schedule! I thought I'd have to have it altered to tweak the fit, but no - it fits perfectly. All in all I can't be happier! Thanks SO much! :)
