INTERNATIONAL COUTURE
Designing a wedding dress with Phillipa Lepley is a joyous and creative affair, right from the initial consultation through to exquisite completion; we ensure that every bride enjoys a truly special experience. Whether through the refinement of a signature Phillipa Lepley couture design, creating an entirely bespoke gown, or choosing a Made To Order piece, your dress will be brought to life by our artisans in the London Atelier, embodying the same standard of excellence, fit, and refinement for which Phillipa Lepley is renowned.
THE INTERNATIONAL PROCESS
| 01 |
Virtual Design ConsultationYour journey begins with a virtual consultation with a Couture Consultant to discuss your wedding, individual style, and vision. During this conversation, we advise on the most suitable route; Made To Order, Couture or fully Bespoke. From there, we map out a bespoke timeline for the creation of your design and discuss availability for the bride’s first in-person appointment. |

London Design AppointmentInternational clients are invited to the London Atelier for a private design appointment. Here, you will explore the couture bridal collection, discovering silhouettes, luxury fabrics, corsetry and hand-embroidery. For Made To Order gowns, your design and nearest UK standard size is confirmed to begin production. For Couture and Bespoke pieces, bespoke touches are refined at this stage – neckline, sleeves, embellishment and personalisations – to create a wedding dress that feels both timeless and uniquely yours. |
| 03 |
Measurements & FittingsFor Couture and Bespoke designs, over 30 precise measurements are taken to form the foundation of your dress and your bespoke corset. Fittings are curated with discretion and efficiency to minimise travel while maintaining the integrity of the couture process. Your design is first realised through toile fitting(s), then refined in silk fittings. Each stage allows you to witness the evolution of your luxury gown, perfecting line, proportion and silhouette and ensuring a flawless fit. |
| 04 |
Final Fitting & CollectionAt your final fitting, your completed gown is carefully reviewed, perfected and beautifully packed for collection. Made To Order gowns are crafted to the nearest UK standard size and finished for collection or arranged international delivery, with guidance provided for local alterations if needed. |
A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE
