Bespoke · your dress, your way
For brides who look at every gown and still think, “It’s close… but not quite me.”Our bespoke team co-creates with you and your local boutique — from tiny tweaks to fully custom gowns.
Start bespoke brief Find a boutiqueHow bespoke works
1 · Share
Tell us your venue, date, budget, and what you can’t seem to find.
You can send photos, sketches or just words — we’ll read everything with your boutique.
2 · Design & fit
Together with your boutique, we suggest base silhouettes, laces and details that feel like you.
Small changes or a fully bespoke sketch — we’ll recommend the right path.
3 · Make & deliver
Once you say yes, your gown goes into production with clear timelines.
Your boutique handles fittings; we handle pattern, lace and craftsmanship.
Three levels of bespoke
Lite · 4–6 weeks
A ready gown, but made yours:
neckline, sleeves, back, train length and small detail changes.
Perfect if you’ve found a “nearly there” dress.
Semi · 6–8 weeks
A new gown built from our base patterns and laces.
You choose the silhouette, lace placement and key details;
we design the final composition.
Atelier · 10–12 weeks
From blank page to finished gown.
Sketches, multiple rounds of refinement and couture-level detailing,
for brides who want a true one-of-one piece.
Why bespoke with Chic Nostalgia
We’ve spent years fitting airy, hoopless gowns and guipure lace dresses on real brides around the world.
Bespoke isn’t about starting from zero — it’s about using that experience to make sure your dress moves, photographs and feels right for your body and your day.
Every bespoke gown is co-created with an independent boutique, so you’re never doing this alone.
