Design Consultation
You know what you like – and we can help you to realise your dream. Aisle Bridal will work with you to create a totally unique design, and the approved
sketch will be part of your wedding gown portfolio. Also included will be
samples of your chosen fabrics from our range of quality silks, satins and taffetas.
We can also source unusual fabrics individually for you, and co-ordinate bridesmaids
and grooms with your theme.
First Fitting
After you have settled on the design in consultation with us, we will measure you
in detail at the First Fitting.
From these measurements, we create a ‘toile’
– a basic body shape in calico fabric from which the finished pattern will be cut.
Second Fitting
For complex designs, we will create a Test Dress which will be made up in simple
fabric and then you will have a test fitting to perfect the pattern. This will take
place around 2 months after the First Fitting. Alternatively, you will
have a second fitting of the basic toile to confirm your measurements and finalize
cutting details.
Third Fitting
The dress will then be made up in your chosen fabrics and you will have a third
fitting to complete your wedding gown around 8 weeks before your wedding.
Final Fitting
Any final adjustments will be made and your dress will be delivered to you for the
Final Fitting two weeks before your wedding.
You can either take delivery at this point
or we can make arrangements to hang the dress for you until you require it.
Hints and Tips
Buy your wedding underwear before the first fitting so that the dress can be crafted
to sit perfectly over the top.
Decide on your heel height or buy your shoes so
that skirt and train are exactly the right length. If you plan to lose (or
gain!) a lot of weight before your wedding, discuss this with our fitter.
