What Makes Couture Dresses Cost More?!

You may ask why some wedding dresses are so expensive…but once you try on a couture gown, you will know just what it is.   Spending a little more on your dress comes with a few stunning amenities.  There are many hours put into the construction of the bodice and skirt.  A couture gown offers a luxurious “fits-like-it-was-made-for-you” fit. From the inside out there are extensive hours put into the  cutting of  layers of  fabric and  hand sewn together with a plethora of  seams and boning to create the perfect fit.

A leading designer in couture bridal gowns, Rivini is no exception to the world of high priced bridal-wear.  Each gown is made to order by a team of talented artisans, including pattern-makers, drapers, seamstresses, and beaders.  Just on the inside of one of these gowns alone there are layers upon layers of hand-sewn pattern pieces that have been hand-cut to ensure precise dimensions for a perfect fit.  Each gown is fully lined, including corset boning, cups, and petticoats, so there is no need for additional undergarments.  This gives your body a natural, beautiful shape.  Each couture gown is made from the most luxurious fabrics, including Italian silks, French laces and English tulle.  The draping and texture of these fine fabrics is beyond compare.

The skilled dressmaker, or couturier, of these high-end fashions is given a fair wage here in North America ~ helping to support local economies.  The average couturier spends an average of 120 hours making your gown, which starts when your order is placed with the designer.  These are not factory-made dresses hanging in a warehouse ~ each gown is made to order for you and requires 4-6 months for completion.

Ordering your gown from a full-service bridal boutique, such as All Brides Beautiful, ensures that your gown is created just for you with customizations and modifications to suit your body architecture and style.  An experienced alterations specialist spends an average of 10 to 30 hours sculpting your gown to fit your height & curves, so that you look stunning as you walk down the aisle and dance the night away with your groom!
