Should I Get a Custom Gown?

 

                The gown a woman wears on her wedding day is certainly one of the most important purchases she will make during her life, and for women far into the process as well as those just beginning, one option to consider is a custom gown. Whether it's worth investing in one, however, is a difficult decision, especially for those working with a limited budget. This post reviews some of the reasons you might want to consider it to help you make your decision.

                There are literally thousands of wedding gowns on the market today in a myriad of colors and designs, so that there's something out there that appeals to most brides. The challenge of being able to try on those gowns, or see them in person, however, can be a challenge that leads brides to pull their hair out in search of the perfect dress. If you're tired of searching, or even if you're just getting started, think about going custom.

 Reason # 1: Get a Gown That Fits-Perfectly

                Of course, working with a gown shop means that you get the dress you selected altered, but a custom gown is uniquely tailored for you. Every single sizing aspect will be in tune, which is great for taller brides or women that don't tend to fit into traditional sample sizes (which are generally between 4-12).

 Reason #2: Bring Your Dream Gown To Life

                A custom designer is invested in creating a garment that's directly from your mind to paper to life. This means you're getting a totally one-of-a-kind showstopper that you can cherish forever- and you can guarantee that your cousin isn't going to walk down the aisle in it six months later. For those who want to stand out and make a statement, opt for a custom.

 Reason #3: Saves You Time (And Possibly Money!)

                The naysayers are thinking that a custom gown might cost more. On face value, yes. But don't forget to calculate your time gathering up bridesmaids and family, covering their lunch, driving to boutiques, and any weekends or time taken off from work to visit bridal salons. Don't forget alterations, either! All of those things add up and are often the "hidden costs" of seeking out your dress. In the long run, a custom gown means the right gown the first time and reduces time and money from trying to find it elsewhere.
