Mermaid and fit-and-flare wedding dresses

Both hug the body through the hips. A mermaid dress stays fitted to around the knee before flaring dramatically, while a fit-and-flare (trumpet) dress flares from around mid-thigh for a softer shape and more movement.

Usually a little. Made to measure means your dress is made in your own proportions and height rather than cut from a standard size chart, which reduces alterations but does not eliminate them. Plan to receive your dress 12–16 weeks before the wedding. See how to take your measurements.

Yes. Every dress is made in your own measurements and proportions. Based on any existing design we can change the neckline shape, choose a different lining color, add removable sleeves and straps, add support, specify the train length and more.
