Are you looking for a black wedding dress to wear on your special day? If you have started the search you may have noticed by now that most bridal retailers don’t stock what you are looking for – so what are your options?

Here at Caroline Versallion Bridal I want you to understand why you should consider going bespoke when it comes to finding your perfect black wedding dress. In this article I am sharing 5 reasons to choose a bespoke black wedding dress.

1. Your dress will be the quality that you expect

When looking online, brides often stumble across unscrupulous websites, who use designers’ images to sell cheap, poorly constructed copies. What the bride ends up with is a dress that looks nothing like the original image and would cost a pretty penny for a seamstress to make it wearable.   This route inevitably leads to huge stress, disappointment and wasted money. However, when you order your black wedding dress from me, I work directly with you. You are an integral part of the process, from the design right through to the delivery, so there will be no nasty surprises at any point.

This enables the perfect fit and quality level that you would expect for your wedding dress.  

2. It will actually look and feel like a wedding dress

Of course finding a black dress is easy, in principle, but this is your wedding dress and therefore you need a black dress that appropriately reflects the occasion. I want you to still feel like a bride and not have your dress be mistaken for evening wear. There are many bridalwear features that will set your dress apart and ensure you look and feel like a bride. When you choose to move away from the traditional white dress it’s important that we accentuate these features even more, and a bespoke dress designer, such as myself will ensure that happens.

3. You don’t have to be ‘gothic’

I want you to feel comfortable and empowered on the day, whatever style you choose to follow for your wedding. In my experience a lot of the mass produced black wedding dresses are advertised under the umbrella term ‘gothic style’ and while I love exploring the gothic theme in fashion terms, I am also very mindful that not everyone who rocks a black dress to the max leans towards that particular subculture.  I will unpick what your love affair with black (or indeed any colour you like) is and amplify that in your  bespoke bridal gown, ensuring you have the dress of your dreams.

4. A bespoke designer can share their experience.

It’s important that you feel confident on your wedding day and a bespoke dress designer will share their knowledge and experience to create the dress that looks perfect for you. For example we may suggest adding some subtle jewel tones into your design, a way to flatter your complexion and add a level of sophistication to your design. These are all ideas that I would talk through with you during your initial consultation.

5. The dress will fit perfectly 

A bespoke dress will always be the perfect fit as it’s made to your exact specifications. Any dress ordered online will have to undergo alterations which will add to the cost. I ensure all of my brides have a dress that fits perfectly, so that you can enjoy the confidence that comes with wearing a wedding dress that fits like a glove and accentuates your figure in all the right places.

Why choose bespoke?

While online options may offer convenience, you don’t want to be left disappointed if the black wedding dress you saw online doesn’t meet your expectations when it arrives. Instead consider working with a bespoke dress designer so that I can create your perfect black wedding dress with intricate design details and a flawless fit.
