The Bespoke Dress
for Your Daughter’s Wedding
Designed Around You
Wherever You Are
We remove the uncertainty from dress shopping with a couture process that brings clarity, elegance and perfect fit to mothers across the country.
Finding the right dress
shouldn’t feel this stressful.
Most mothers begin this journey feeling unsure:
the colors, the silhouette, the fit, the neckline, the photos, the expectations.
Retail options rarely fit correctly.
Alterations feel unpredictable.
And settling for ‘almost right’ is not acceptable for a moment this meaningful.
This day matters.
The way you feel in your dress matters.
A Clear, Elegant Path to the Perfect Couture Dress.
We guide you from uncertainty to confidence with a proven couture process designed specifically for mothers of the bride and groom.
1. Speak With Your Couture Guide
We learn your event details, aesthetic, colors, preferences, and needs so your designer knows exactly what will flatter you.
2. See Your Vision Come to Life
You’ll receive sketches, swatches, and a custom prototype made to your proportions.
This is the moment your dress becomes real.
3. Wear the Perfect Final Gown
After refining the prototype, we craft your final dress in New York with couture precision and ship it to your door.

Client Testimonials
“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.”
-Karen Thompson, Mother of the Bride
“The dress is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone is loving my dress! Thank you!
-Trista Little, Mother of the Groom
“Dear Maria, Well, I have to tell you that I have received so many compliments, endlessly, on the ballgown we designed together and you made! And I am getting constant requests about the dress. Truly- I could have sold my dress on Friday & Saturday nights to at least 10 ladies... or more. And my IG is filled with - ‘I love your dress! Where did you get it?’”
