“From the minute I met Yildiz in their chic atelier ETSY, I knew I’d found the designers to create my dream dress… their bespoke service is beyond special - everything is made to measure, working with luxe fabrics sourced in Beautiful Turkey.
BUILDING A VISION
The journey begins at our atelier in Istanbul at your first online design consultation with one of our founders and designers. The beauty of creating a bespoke look is that you’ll have total flexibility and control on design, fabric and silhouettes so it is an incredibly intimate and creative experience.
You will have had a pre- consultation where we will have learned all about you, your vision for the wedding and your outfit, so at your first design consultation we’ll explore sketches, references and ideas as well as fabric options, silhouettes, cuts and trimmings, to build a physical vision board of your dream look.
We have an extensive fabric library reserved exclusively for bespoke customers and we’ll often mockup your vision with the pieces we have in the atelier to help with the inspiration process. The design will then be finessed in follow up consultations until you are happy for us to get started on creating your toile. Measurements will be taken at this stage
CRAFTING YOUR PIECES
Our custom process starts with transforming your idea into reality by crafting a 'toile'—a mockup of your garment made your measurements with cotton fabric. This initial step your design to take shape, enabling you to evaluate every detail and, crucially, the fit. We will drape, pin, and sketch directly on the fabric to help visualize the final look
FITTINGS
Your outfit will begin to take shape during your next fitting, known as the 'shell' fitting, where you'll see it in the final fabric for the first time, this can be done online on a mannequin. At this stage, we'll focus on fitting the foundation or 'shell' of the dress, without any details, fastenings, or boning, as our priority is to perfect the fit. This fitting also allows you to specify where you'd like to add embellishments and details. In total, you'll have between 3-5 fittings with our Design Team and Head of Atelier, held during the week at our Istanbul atelier. The final fitting, a collection fitting, will occur about 2-3 weeks before your wedding, at which point you'll sign it off and take it home.
Bespoke gowns start from $400. To discuss a bespoke commission, please complete our enquiry form below
