Neckline: From full coverage to illusion to deep plunge, the right neckline flatters your body type and completes your aesthetic.

Fabrication: Arguably the most important element to consider, fabric determines the temperature, movability, and formality of your gown.

Embellishments: Minimalist styles feature chic lines and carefully edited details, while fairytale ballgowns amp up the glamour with Swarovski crystals and layered tulle.

Skirt: Fuse form and function with a dreamy skirt that works for your occasion.

Sleeves: Strapless gowns are a modern classic, but a better-than-ever range of illusion-sleeved styles, off-the-shoulder options, cap sleeves, and long sleeves has taken the current bridal world by storm.

Silhouette: Factors like venue, season, fabric, body type, and personal aesthetic help you choose the perfect style.

Train: Long trains make a major statement, while short trains and custom bustles allow for freedom of movement.

Inner Construction: Impeccable fit starts from the inside. Our signature corsets and boning ensure a comfortable, super-flattering finish.
