We create the dress the way you wish!
your own custom wedding dress!
Published And Featured In


Here is a brief summary of the process of creating your custom wedding dress!
It starts with knowing your preferred dress style ( Ballgown, Aline, mermaid, etc). Whether it’s a dress style that you’ve tried on at a bridal shop or a design inspired by gowns you’ve seen on pinterest, instagram, etc , we can create the perfect one for you!
After you send us your design request through the “ Send us your own design” form on the website, you’ll be receiving the price quote + process details from our bridal consultant within 24 hours approximately. Make sure you also check the “ others” tab / Junk since some emails end up there!
For custom wedding dresses based on your own ideas, we can even sketch the dress + color it for you so you can visualize it before it gets created!
After you receive all important process details and are sure that you want to move on in the process, you can schedule a Phone or a Zoom Call consultation with our bridal consultant if you want by filling the form on the website!
After choosing the payment method that fits your budget (50% down , Affirm , Full Payment, etc), you will be receiving instructions regarding your order’s invoice. After placing the order, you’ll get our detailed measurements guide so you can get measured at a local tailor/ seamstress in your area for accurate measurements! If you are just re-ordering a dress which we’ve previously created from our “ Wedding Dresses “ section on the website, you will need to choose the option that says : Send me the measurements guide after I place the order from the options that pop up when you add the dress to cart.
A few days after your order is placed ( custom orders ), you will be receiving photos of relevant lace patterns + our color chart so you can choose the ones you want us to use for your gown.
Throughout the process, we will be updating you with progress photos to show you the paper pattern , the lace applique pattern and other important steps that lead to the final result!
After your dress is completely finished, you’ll be receiving the final staging photos which will definitely make your day! This is the stage where we get ready for shipping or scheduling your final fitting if you are a local Michigan bride! We know it sounds complicated but we’re here for you every step of the way!:)

After being ghosted by two seamstresses, I was left feeling like the vision for my wedding gown was unobtainable & out of reach. I stumbled across her Instagram and after having the initial consultation, I was encouraged that it was possible. She made the process seamlessly easy and stress free! (Especially being in two different states) She listened to me and my “wants” and also gave her opinion without overstepping her boundaries or deterring my vision. To the point where I NEVER envisioned myself in a ball gown style of any sort. She sketched the train on my dress and I fell in LOVE! She was SO PLEASANT AND TRULY A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. Her communication throughout the process was impeccable and the constant updates and picture mail left me at ease during the process. My gown was finished 5-6 weeks early and was shipped with care. Even with her sending me the final product before shipping, NEVER IN MY LIFE would I have thought the gown would look how it does. The pictures did it NO JUSTICE and it was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! She incorporated everything I wanted! Gold Mermaid style gown with detachable train AND sleeves! Also added her own little flare adding chocolate beading in with the gold! I was brought to tears unboxing it as the details and beading were so intricate and neatly placed/sewn! I will never have the words to thank her enough!! But I will sing her praises FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!! Not only did she make me feel like the BADDEST MAM-A-JAMA walking the earth on my wedding day but she made me feel AND LOOK loke ROYALTY!! The feeling of knowing that I have a ONE OF A KIND DRESS that can’t be duplicated and a gown that will be talked about for YEARS TO COME is AN OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU AGAIN, TO MANAL AND BRIDES & TAILOR, for helping make my special day one to always remember!! read lessCarl'Nika Sneed12/31/2022Working with Manal and her team has been a magical experience from start to finish.

Initially, I was having so much trouble finding someone in the U.S. to make an affordable custom wedding dress. I found Manal on Etsy and things have been easy since. From our first correspondence she has been so professional, timely, and sweet. She took care of me as if I was her own. She always responded to me, answering all my questions, and even sent me follow ups when I didn’t get back to her. In the end of the process, I decided to go pick up my dress in person, and it was a beautiful experience! Manal made it perfect! My dress is gorgeous and I cannot wait to send her pictures soon! read lessAurneaja Bush6/08/2023

They explained everything in detail, we're willing to work within my budget to provide me with a beautiful dress. I was looking for a non traditional dress and had been having difficulties finding a dress that met the requirements I was looking for. Black dresses not being the standard for wedding makes finding them fairly difficult. Not only was brides and Tailor able to make me a black dress but they were able to complete a custom designwd black and purple dress. Highly recommend for those who are looking for unusual and unique dresses read lessKylie Squires5/03/2023

Every step of the way I was stunned with Brides and Tailors' competence, professionalism, and attention to detail. My wedding dress remains the gem of my wardrobe; building it together from scratch was a highlight of my wedding experience and I’ve received countless compliments on it. I highly recommend Brides and Tailor to any bride who: a) has a curvy figure & may have trouble buying clothes off the rack in general b) wants a nontraditional dress (ie custom colors, a specific combination of fabrics & styles, or a specific “theme” to fit) b) wants a durable, custom art piece that you can wear to formal events beyond the wedding (I’ve already worn mine to two themed balls post-wedding!) d) wants to feel powerful and stunning on her wedding day, and in control every step of the dress buying process I will also say Brides and Tailor is very reasonably priced for the custom & quality of dress delivered. For example, the traditional dresses I looked at before coming to Brides and Tailor cost $3,000-5,000 plus; working with Brides & Tailor got me a similar style customized to my preferred colors, measurements, and style for less than half of the traditional dress. Given how responsive and attentive to detail Brides & Tailor are, I would guess they can modify designs to fit any budget. Read on for more tips & details! Tips: Try on different dress styles at a local boutique before committing to a style or design for your custom dress. I wound up changing my design completely based on how a certain style looked on me in real life (vs a skinny model in a picture). Purchase the sketch from Brides and Tailor to confirm you’re aligned on vision. I’m really glad I did this step as it made me feel confident in my decision and trust that B&T knew how to execute. I also got to make small modifications for my comfort before moving forward. Order directly from the Brides and Tailor website - online third-party shops sometimes have weird rules about delivery times that aren’t conducive to the custom dress collaboration process Invest in a good local tailor as you will need to work closely with them on measurements before ordering and after for alterations! If you’re in Chicago I recommend Uncommon Closet.

She was so good at communicating and sending pictures of different laces and giving her opinions as well. She captured exactly what I wanted from all the sample pictures I sent. When I got the dress in I felt so emotional trying it on because it was exactly what I wanted. I felt like how a bride should feel when she finds her dress and that was a feeling I never got when I was trying on other dresses. I can't recommend them enough read lessSamantha Nastasi3/21/2023I cannot even begin to express how beautiful this dress is. Manal and her team went above and beyond and I am absolutely SPEECHLESS.

They allowed me to choose the shade of purple, lace pattern, type of lace and kept me updated throughout the entire process. They gave great suggestions to help me decide on things for my dress and kept me in the loop about everything. I really liked that I was able to split the payments up as well so it wasn’t one huge lump sum for me. They are super flexible in design and just overall great communication. The dress itself is OUTSTANDING! And I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. Their customer service is excellent as well. I called them to ask them how to attach my removable train, and they answered the phone immediately and explained step by on how to hook on the train to the dress.
