Your Bespoke Journey
WELCOME TO PHILLIPA LEPLEY
Phillipa Lepley and her specialist team are dedicated to creating an experience that is inspirational, luxurious and ultimately unforgettable, from your very first appointment through to the final fitting of your bespoke couture dress.
“The most exclusive and singular couture experience one could go through.”
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Experience an entirely unique process involving meticulous craftsmanship, bespoke design, an unrivalled attention to detail and impeccable service if you choose to create the dress of your dreams with Phillipa Lepley. The designer is renowned for custom-made, figure-enhancing corsetry, exquisite veils, hand-crafted couture embroidery and timeless style.
Following your initial enquiry, a member of Phillipa’s team will be in touch to answer any questions and to book a private appointment for you. This, and all future fittings, takes place at Phillipa Lepley on London’s Fulham Road in Chelsea. The Shop and adjacent Conservatory spaces, designed by Phillipa in a style that blends contemporary minimalism with a vintage French feel, are elegant, serene, spacious, comfortable and private.
THE FITTINGS PROCESS
Once your design has been finalised, you receive a personalised order pack which includes fabric swatches and a sketch of your dress. The Director of Fittings will work with you to create a personalised appointment schedule and the Atelier team will turn your intricate design into a hand-crafted dress, overseen and approved at every stage by Phillipa herself.
The first fitting is a very detailed measuring appointment, followed by calico toile fittings, where the lines of the dress are defined to compliment your body and the shape is perfected before your paper patterns are refined. Multiple silk fittings take place as the dress evolves and is precisely hand-crafted to fit you. At the final fitting, whoever will dress you on the day is invited so they can be taught about all the vital elements of your dress. After a final thorough check and press at the Atelier, your dress is beautifully packed, ready for collection.
