In the world of fashion, few things compare to the feeling of wearing a custom-made garment, designed exclusively for you. At Iryna Shalom Couture, we believe that every piece of clothing should be a reflection of the person who wears it. Whether it’s a wedding dress, an evening gown, or a power suit, our custom couture process ensures that every client walks away with a garment that is uniquely theirs.
In this blog, we’ll take you behind the seams of our custom couture process—from the initial consultation to the final fitting—and show you how we turn your dream outfit into a reality.
Step 1: The Consultation—Bringing Your Ideas to Life
The journey to a custom couture piece begins with a personal consultation. Whether you have a specific design in mind or need help refining your vision, this is the time to explore ideas, discuss fabrics, and choose details. At Iryna Shalom Couture, we love getting to know our clients’ personalities, preferences, and the occasion for which they’re dressing.
What to Expect in Your Consultation:
We’ll ask you about your vision, inspirations, and what you hope to achieve with your custom piece.
You’ll browse a selection of fabrics and materials, allowing you to choose from luxurious silks, delicate lace, and intricate embellishments.
Iryna will sketch your custom design based on your input, offering a preview of how the garment will look.
Measurements will be taken to ensure that every detail is tailored specifically to your body shape.
Step 2: Fabric Selection—The Foundation of Couture
Fabric is one of the most important elements in couture. The way a fabric drapes, feels, and moves can completely change the look and experience of a garment. During your consultation, we’ll guide you through choosing the right fabric for your design. Our expertise ensures that the material complements the garment’s intended style and structure, creating a perfect harmony between form and function.
Some popular fabric options include:
Silk: Known for its luxurious feel and sheen, ideal for evening gowns and bridal wear.
Lace: Adds a delicate, romantic touch to wedding dresses and special occasion pieces.
Taffeta & Organza: Stiff yet elegant, perfect for structured silhouettes.
Velvet: A plush, rich fabric often used for formal winter wear.
Step 3: Design & Craftsmanship—Where Magic Happens
Once the consultation and fabric selection are complete, we begin the intricate process of creating your garment. At Iryna Shalom Couture, craftsmanship is our pride. Every piece is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the delicate hand-sewn seams to the careful placement of embellishments.
Our custom pieces are built to last and designed to embody the highest standards of couture fashion. Throughout the process, we’ll provide regular updates, allowing you to see how your vision is evolving from sketch to final form.
Step 4: Fittings—Perfecting Every Detail
Fittings are a critical part of the couture process. As your garment comes to life, we’ll invite you for fittings to make any necessary adjustments. During each fitting, we’ll refine the garment to ensure it hugs your body in all the right places, offering both style and comfort.
Depending on the complexity of the design, you may require multiple fittings. This step is crucial to ensure that every detail is perfect, from the fit of the bodice to the length of the hem.
Step 5: The Final Reveal—Your Custom Piece
The final fitting is the most exciting part of the journey. After months of collaboration, your custom couture garment is ready. You’ll see your vision come to life in a piece that’s truly one of a kind—tailored to your body, your style, and your occasion.
At Iryna Shalom Couture, our goal is to create garments that make you feel empowered and confident. Whether it’s a wedding gown, an evening dress, or a professional ensemble, custom couture is about more than just clothing—it’s about telling your unique story through fashion.
