Wedding

and out
of several stores – Jewellery stores, wedding cake shops, flower
shops
and the list goes on.

the most important stores you will visit repeatedly are wedding
dress
stores because making the choice for the perfect dress is not an easy
task and
it gets harder when you can't find your dream dress in any of the
shops.
Nevertheless,
if you are considering crossing out wedding dress shopping on your
to do list
and designing your own dress online? Well, you can!
Designing
your dress in the comfort of your home allows you to piece styles or
patterns
from different designers to create your unique and perfect
wedding

Albeit,
there are some steps involved in designing your dress online but we
assure
you that it's easier and faster than wedding dress shopping.
1. Shape
This is
the foundation of your design. It is arguably the most important
aspect
of designing your wedding dress.
Any
online design website you are using to create your wedding dress will
provide
an option for the different shapes and bodice for your wedding
dress. When
selecting the shape, consider shapes that flatter your body and
emphasize you
in the right ways while giving you a glamorous outlook.

you can search for the best dress shapes for your body
specifications
to give you an idea.
2.
Measurements
Get your
body measurements for the style of dress you are designing. Be
accurate
about the sleeves and necklines to avoid unnecessary alterations.
Upload
your measurements to the website and be sure to save your progress in
case you
don't finish the design at once.
In a
situation where there is an Increase or decrease before you complete the
design,
you can update the measurement on the website. If the change in measurement
occurs after your design has been sent for sewing, contact the owner of the
site or the fashion designer/tailor.
3.
Pattern
Pick
your choice of designs and motifs for the dress. Some
sites give you the option of arranging the patterns as you'd like them to be
sewn while others give you
suggestions which you select from.
When
picking your pattern, you may want to consider the setting of your wedding.
Your wedding dress must stand out so you don't want to pick a pattern
that's
similar to your wedding scheme motif.
4. Fabric
One of
the most significant aspects of your wedding dress- off the racks or
custom
made is the fabric of the dress.
Choosing
the fabric for your dress can be slightly tricky. While you want to
select a
luxurious fabric, you have to pick one that will bring out all the
intricate
details of your dress.
A fabric
that will bring out the pattern and shape of your dress is the best
option
for you when designing your wedding dress online.

your design, fabric, pattern and workmanship, the site owners or
the
fashion tailor will send you a quotation of your final charges for the
wedding
dress.
You may
also have a means of correspondence with the fashion tailor, designer or
site
owner.

period depends on the intricacy of your dress although some sites have
fixed
times for deliveries (3-4 days most times).
