Designing Your Own Wedding dress: get the perfect design for your unique wedding!

There are plenty of designers out there who would happily design a wedding dress for you. There are also designer wedding boutiques you can visit to purchase dresses made by famous designers, such as Vera Wang or Leigh Hetherington. (Click to view collection)

Of course, you could always design your own.

Even if you are a novice designer and far from being a dab-hand at drawing, or are simply clueless where to start, designing your own wedding dress is still possible. But how will you know what design will suit you before you make a start? Well that’s the simple part.

Check out your current wardrobe for dresses you have tucked away and try them on. Work out which neckline you prefer, what bodice type you are more comfortable with, and then compare skirt styles until you come up with the complete package - then visit Ameliste wedding dress pictures gallery to get inspiration.

Compare pictures of bridal gowns, trace the outlines of those you like (and know will suit you thanks to your little wardrobe exercise), and there you have the basic shape for your perfect dress.

You can then use the tracings to design several variations of the dress, add colour or embellishments and generally have fun until you hit on the exact design you want.

There are also tools to help you draw your dress such as Wedding dress Creator for example, which makes it very easy.

You can then take your drawings to a designer or dress maker to discuss your options further, or you could be brave and get out a sewing machine. Making your own wedding dress adds uniqueness to it, and you know no one will ever have the exact same dress as you.

Then if you are up to it, get started on the bridesmaid’s gowns.
