Creating your custom design

Couture Eveningwear Service

A SINGULAR CREATION

Phillipa Lepley’s couture eveningwear is designed for discerning women who seek bespoke dresses of distinction for life’s most important occasions. From initial inspiration and sketches to the very final fitting, the specialist team carefully considers silhouette, balance, proportion and colour to ensure each dress is not only outstanding and unique, but also suits an occasion perfectly. Personalised touches can be added to every design, from embroidered monograms and bespoke embellishments to the inclusion of a particularly significant motif, colour, luxury fabric or silhouette. Phillipa and her team work closely with every client to create an extraordinary couture dress that makes its wearer look and feel spectacular, thanks to a matchless attention to fit and proportion.

A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE

Our eveningwear designs typically require 4-6 months, depending on complexity. Should you require a shorter lead time, we will endeavour to accommodate your event date wherever possible. For international clients, we can create a personalised fitting journey to reduce the number of fitting trips required and ship your finished design directly to you.

COUTURE EVENINGWEAR PROCESS

01	Design Your journey begins with a private consultation call, where we discuss your event, vision, and timeline. During this conversation, we advise on the most suitable route; Made To Order, couture or fully bespoke.
02	Design Development You are then welcomed to our Chelsea showroom to explore the Eveningwear collection. Here, you may try selected designs while refining silhouette, fabric, colour, and detailing alongside your consultant. Embroidery and bespoke embellishments are conceived and confirmed at this stage.
03	Fittings & Refinement A dedicated measuring appointment captures more than 30 individual measurements to ensure exactitude of fit. Your gown is refined across a series of fittings, allowing structure, drape, and craftsmanship to be meticulously perfected.
04	Final Fitting At your final appointment, every element is adjusted to ensure effortless movement and impeccable fit. Following a final press, your dress is elegantly packaged and prepared for your occasion.
