The Process

Let's design your dream dress.

Step 1

Schedule an appointment

You'll first meet with me so we can discuss your needs. Whether you already have a specific vision or are seeking some direction, I'm here to guide you through the process.

Step 2

Choosing the design

In our appointment, we will have you try on various looks, discuss fabric options, take your measurements, and explore different silhouettes. I will then use this information to design several concepts for you to choose from.

Step 3

Development and refinement

I'll work with our Italian atelier to bring your chosen design to life, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Once complete, we will have a final fitting to ensure the garment meets your expectations.
