CREATING THE DRESS

At Tessa Francis we want everything to be perfect for you.

Your ideas will start to come alive when we make your toile. This is a shell of your wedding gown, made from calico this will form the pattern for your gown.

At this stage we can perfect the design and fit, ‘fine tuning’ design and proportion. We can experiment with details altering neckline, train length or whatever details we feel require that finishing touch.

You will slowly see your wedding gown taking shape.

When everything is perfect and you are happy with all the detail only then do we cut into your chosen fabric and start to make your wedding Gown. Now the fun really starts.
