Custom made to measure

Lace wedding dresses, hand-sewn to your measurements

A lace wedding dress uses lace over or within the bodice and skirt, from soft all-over Chantilly to classic French Alençon, romantic 3D florals and modern geometric patterns. At Lace & Liberty every lace piece is hand-sewn and placed for your design, and our San Francisco studio displays our top 70–80 lace styles.
