Designing Your One-of-a-Kind Dress
A SINGULAR CREATION
Our Bespoke service offers the ultimate expression of individuality. Your design begins from a blank canvas, allowing you complete creative freedom, while drawing inspiration from mood boards, your vision, and past Phillipa Lepley collections to inform silhouettes, necklines, fabrics, corsetry, and detailing. Every element from the cut and structure to the most intricate embellishment is imagined and executed exclusively for you, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind wedding dress.
THE BESPOKE PROCESS

Design DevelopmentWorking closely with our Atelier, your ideas are translated into a truly bespoke creation. Hand-illustrated sketches and curated fabric and embellishment swatches bring your gown to life. |

Bespoke FittingsAt your measure fitting, more than 30 precise measurements are taken to ensure an exceptional fit. Your bespoke corset is expertly crafted to your form and our Fittings team work with you to determine the number of appointments required for your creation. Your design is first realised through toile fitting(s); a calico mock-up to perfect line, proportion and silhouette. Then, through a series of silk fittings, the drape, structure, and balance are refined to sculpt flawlessly to your body. Between appointments, your gown is meticulously handcrafted in the Phillipa Lepley Atelier. |
