Why Bespoke
Ordering Bespoke attire is the most premium service available. Starting at $2450, the difference is in the details of each individually crafted piece – from hand-sewn buttons to intricate hand-painted elements – creating a truly custom look that’s uniquely you.
During the design process, we take every measure to ensure your custom outfit perfectly fits your expectations, which is why our design process includes creating a custom prototype to your exact measurements. This allows you to see the style, feel the fit, and experience the final product, before the delivery of your final dress. Need to make some adjustments? That’s what we’re here for! We are able to make any necessary modifications to the prototype allowing for further customization of your outfit. We offer a satisfaction guarantee on all Bespoke orders.
What to Expect
Our simple design process begins with a no obligation consultation. During the consultation, our designer will work with you to get a better idea of your style, taste, and dress requirements. Once you’re ready to proceed, our 3-step design process will only require about a 2-hour time investment, with your final design being delivered in about 3 months.
Step 1: Fabric Selection
Working with our experts, create your style and browse The Atelier’s collection of fine fabrics to design the perfect dress for your occasion.
Step 2: Initial Prototype
Bring your vision to life. Custom patterns created to your exact measurements are crafted by our expert tailors and then adjusted to perfection in this initial prototype.
Step 3: Final Dress
Once the initial prototype has been approved, your final dress will be delivered directly to you, or if you find yourself in town, come see us in person at our New York studio.

02. Initial Prototype
Bring your vision to life. After the initial consultation and fabric selection, we’ll create a custom pattern to your exact measurements. This custom pattern is then used to create an initial dress prototype out of muslin, which will be shipped directly to your home. We’ll review the look and feel together virtually and determine any adjustments needed to be made prior to the final dress delivery.
03. Final Dress
Once the initial prototype has been approved and sent back to us (via an enclosed return label), we’ll make any necessary changes and proceed to make the final dress. Your final gown will be delivered directly to you, or if you find yourself in town, come see us in person at our New York studio. Once you receive your dress, we guarantee 100% satisfaction.

Client Stories
“The day was spectacular and OMG we are still in the middle of the post wedding glow. The weather was magnificent. I can’t wait for our formal photos. I am sending you a few so that you can see how the dress looked. I can’t even begin to tell you how many people commented on my dress I received so many texts of people asking who the designer was. Some of my daughter's friends were trying to guess so I sent them all to your website. You were such a pleasure to work with! Please tell Maria I am so grateful for her vision in this custom dress. So unique and the fabric was extremely easy to iron and wear.”
