Where to Design A Custom Dress In Paris

I’ve always dreamed of the day where I’d be able to design a custom dress in Paris! If there is one thing you should know about me is that I love shopping and clothes. Unfortunately, being petite, it is always difficult to find things that fit. I always see gorgeous pieces on the runway or even sometimes in shops and I am thinking, “ugh, I wish that came in my size.”

With my engagement photos to Aaron coming up, I wanted to find the perfect dress, and more importantly, a dress that fit. I’ve always wanted to design a custom dress that would fit me flawlessly, and I thought for our engagement photos would be the perfect opportunity. I just had no idea where to design a custom dress in Paris.

After what felt like hours of searching for where to design a custom dress in Paris, I stumbled across a brand called Dressarte, I’m all too familiar with two years ago, I ordered a cute top and a pink dress from their site, I loved the quality and I quickly contacted them to find out more about their new custom made clothes in Paris.

HOW THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING A CUSTOM DRESS WORKS:

Once I committed to designing a custom dress in Paris, I knew I had to do some preparation. The first thing I did in the process was to find inspiration. I scoured Pinterest, Instagram, and other fashion blogs to find a dress that would be a show stopper. In conclusion, I wanted a dress with two different types of contrasting fabrics. After finding a few different styles and inspirations, I sent over the ideas to Dressarte Paris. Within a few days they send me back a sketch of the dress design and a photo of the different material I could choose from for the top and the bottom of the dress. After much consideration, ultimately I decided on the bigger circles as I felt that the smaller circles would blend in too much with the gorgeous silk bottom.

WHAT IS THE COST OF CREATING A CUSTOM DRESS IN PARIS:

The cost of creating a custom dress in Paris in more affordable than you’d think! 

On the Dressarte website you're able to determine your budget for your custom made dress. From your budget they are able to pull different fabric. Also, if you’re unsure about the fabric you always have the option to request a sample. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CREATE A CUSTOM DRESS IN PARIS:

Surprisingly, once the sketch is complete and fabrics are chosen the process moves very quickly. The dress only took 2 weeks to arrive! If you have a special occasion or need to have the custom dress ASAP I recommend contacting the Dressarte Paris team to see if it’s possible to get your piece before the 2 week delivery time.

THE QUALITY OF MY CUSTOM DRESS:

The Dressarte Paris team sources fabrics from all over the world and ensures they use the highest quality fabric possible within your budget. When I received my dress, it fit perfectly, and I could tell they used very high quality fabric to create this one of a kind piece for me!

  1. I’ve always dreamed of walking through Paris and visiting the couture shops… even if they are cheaper there, I still think I’d only be window shopping though.

    1. Dear Magen,

      Thank you for reading my article about where to design a custom made dress in Paris!

      Yes, nothing wrong with couture window shopping! Personally, I love window shopping, and what’s really nice is in Paris, and Europe in general, it’s mandated they put the price of the items in the window. I believe the phrase window shopping actually came from Europe!

      I hope you have a great day!

      Best,
      Diane
