DESIGNING DREAMS
Your bespoke experience begins in creative conversation with master designer Ellen Wise, who will bring your vision to life. Initial concepts are discussed and refined. Fabrics, colors, laces, and embroideries are explored. A set of exacting measurements are taken. An aspiration sketch is transformed into physical form as a muslin toile, first on a dress form and then on the body. In private fittings at the Atelier, the muslin toile is meticulously fit and artfully refined.
Throughout the custom experience, Ellen will hand-craft your garment with time-honored master techniques to create extraordinary quality for which Ellen Wise Couture is known. The result is your one-of-a-kind wedding dress, evening gown or suit. The final design is utterly unique and of unequaled quality.
“Each gown begins with an exquisite silhouette. From concept to reality, the silhouette is refined and perfected. Ultimately, it is the choice of fabric that brings the silhouette to life. With expert hand-tailoring, inner structure and meticulous attention to detail, the fabric drapes and moves naturally and with ease.”
